Ok fair enough, but what remains unknown transcends our understanding -- beyond fairly wild speculation: alternate dimensions with skewed physics, tachyon speeds, I dont know, all I know is that there are one heck of a lot of unknowns.

I'm not comfortable claiming any certainty, except when those claims are confined to isolated bubbles of experience and understanding.
