A comment by White House science adviser Michael Kratsios has gone viral after a speech in which he claimed U.S. technology can “manipulate time and space,” prompting online speculation.

Kratsios, director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, made the remark during a policy address at the Endless Frontiers Retreat in Austin, Texas on April 14.

“Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity,” Kratsios said during prepared remarks published on the official White House website.

While the statement was likely intended as aspirational language about technological progress, it has since circulated widely online, with some interpreting the comment literally.

My family spent three days in your wonderful city. We did the touristy things, kept the hotel window open ("Chicago Fire, Med, and PD are all live right now!" I exclaimed to my wife as the 5th fire engine of the early, early morning sang its equally-weary song. She was not amused.)

The Shedd is still under construction, the Museum of Science and Industry is amazing, the Bean/Cloud Gateway is shiny, and Rossi's is my new favorite dive bar.

Thank you, Chicago, for the trains and the easy walking. Uber drivers - you guys and gals and non-gendered folks are simply the best at getting through a congested city while showing almost no stress. You are machines. My love and all the custom $10 tips.
