    I find it humorous that while pointing out a supposed means used to dismiss an opponents view point in a debate, you yourself use a technique that also could be seen as intending to dismiss an opponents view point.

You can find it humorous all you want - it does not change the fact that the argument was dismantled in my previous post (it's not only "thinkable" to travel as fast as a jetliner, it's easily demonstrable).

    Your whole post is also unnecessarily argumentative.

No, it is dismissive. My original post was hopeful but apparently, that is not permitted when one is busy wringing one's hands about the future because one has read a Penguin Classics "History of the 20th Century."
