Well, we are able to research FTL for only a few decades. Give it a few more due to complexity. Few ages ago people thought that the world is flat...

Also, there are theories of FTL: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster-than-light

Ah, no they didn't. Scientific consensus has been the earth is round for thousands of years.

As the word 'age' is used in the original comment, a likely synonym is 'millenia', so you are in aggreement with the poster.

They didn't really, that's a common misconception: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myth_of_the_flat_Earth

And suddenly people think the earth is flat again ... we need to keep science more relatable to the general population and that starts with being realistic.

I'm not arguing with your idea ... just that it should start with a caveat ... "there are no current theories that support FTL but we're hoping ..."
