Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space

Combine this older statement with the statement in my OP sounds like we are admitting to have UFO tech:

Spaceforce, Steven L. Kwast USAF General We have tech, today, that can take you from anywhere on Earth, to anywhere else, in an hour...

or am I just wishful thinking?

It's a change in message from the usual tactics, inspirational instead of shock and awe. This and the OP sounds like things to move the needle a couple of years in the future.  Ideology based on technology.

What comes to mind is the recent quantum mechanics - entanglement experiment, where they were able to transport light's information or state instantaneously between two entangled particles.

AI:
"Quantum entanglement allows for the transfer of a quantum state between two particles, even when separated by a distance, by measuring the state of one entangled particle. This process does not physically transport the particle, but rather transfers the information about its state. In the context of light, this means a photon's quantum state can be "teleported" to another photon at a distance, using entangled photons as a channel for this transfer. Here's a more detailed explanation:1. Quantum Entanglement:

• Entanglement links two or more particles in a way that they share the same quantum state, regardless of the distance between them.
  
• If you measure the state of one entangled particle, you instantly know the state of the other, even if they are far apart.
  

2. Quantum Teleportation:

• This process uses entanglement to transfer the quantum state of a particle to another. It doesn't physically move the particle, but rather transmits the information about its state. The process involves:Creating an entangled pair of particles.
  

• Combining one of the entangled particles with the particle whose state needs to be teleported.
  
• Performing a measurement on the combined particles.
  
• Transmitting the measurement result to the second entangled particle, which now has the original particle's quantum state.
  

3. Light and Quantum Teleportation:

• In the case of light, photons can be entangled.
  
• A photon carrying a quantum state is combined with one photon of an entangled pair.
  
• By measuring the combined state, the information about the original photon's quantum state is transferred to the other entangled photon.
  
• This means the quantum state of the original photon is "teleported" to the distant photon, even though the photon itself doesn't physically travel.
  

4. Key Points:

• Quantum teleportation doesn't violate the speed of light limit, as information about the quantum state is transferred, not the particle itself.
  
• It's a form of quantum information transfer, not physical transportation.
  
• It has potential applications in areas like secure communication and quantum computing.

So for non-physicists or non-scientists trying to explain the above, the chances of getting it accurate leave much to be desired.

Actually...the black tris have a way to reduce their weight to ZERO when travelling in space. As long as you keep the mass at zero you can go speed of light. To go faster you have to go into a higher dimension of space,and even the RK's dont have that yet.
Now Maybe its not a law that is unbreakable if you have the proper ship. WHat about using quantum teleportation combined with gravitational drives? Just lock onto a particle where you want to go,and pull yourship toward it by bending the space around it.
