Yeah, turns out its not possible. So?
So, a lot of dreams that are based on nothing concrete end up being just that.. dreams, with no basis in reality.

Warpus you seem to believe that evidence comes first, then speculation. Youve got it backwards, IMO.
Not necessarily, but usually, yes.
When men looked up at the sky and wondered if humans could ever fly, they already had evidence that it were possible - they saw other creatures that could fly - birds. When men looked at the moon and wondered whether we could go there, they already had evidence that it exists - they could see it.
Speculation is usually triggered by potential evidence. For example, in our case, it seemed as though you could see into the future. This lead you to believe that perhaps such a thing is possible. However, the next step would be to perform tests and collect evidence that it indeed is possible, so that you could discard the most likely explanation that does not violate any currently established theories of how the Universe operates - this theory being that it was just a coincidence.
Statement A - "It's possible to see into the future"
Statement B - "It's possible to fly by farting"
You seem to say that statement A is more likely to be true than statement B. How come?
I move that they are equally unlikely due to the lack of evidence of both.
