The US possesses technology that can “manipulate” and “bend time and space”, the White House innovation czar, Michael Kratsios, has claimed.
He made these comments at the Endless Frontier retreat in Austin, Texas, just weeks after being confirmed as director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
He noted that President Donald Trump’s ambition is to usher in a new “golden age of America,” which includes fostering scientific research and the application of cutting-edge technologies.
As per Kratsios, the US can emerge as a global leader by making smart choices regarding public funding and deregulating innovation.
“Our technologies permit us to manipulate time and space. They leave distance annihilated, cause things to grow, and improve productivity,” he stated, without specifying how.
The next part of speech was focused on overcoming the “sclerosis of the state,” which he said would enable Americans to achieve “scientific discoveries that will bend time and space, make more with less, and drive us further into the endless frontier.”

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has also boasted about having advanced technologies not yet revealed to the public.
Earlier last week, he claimed China would hesitate to escalate a trade war with the US, partly due to the existence of secret weapons in the American arsenal.
“We have weaponry that nobody has any idea what it is, and it is the most powerful weapon in the world that we have. More powerful than anybody, even—not even close,” he told journalists in the Oval Office.
Further, in March, Trump announced the development of a sixth-generation fighter jet, which he described as “the most lethal aircraft ever built.” Boeing was awarded the contract for the project, he noted.
