This is exactly the kind of comment I would expect to read shortly before some presumed law of the universe were broken. Reminds me of the "maybe in thousands of years people will fly" newspaper comment the same year the Wright brothers flew.
I'm not treating it lightly that conservation of energy etc. would be broken. I'm just saying... it's a law until it's discovered that it's not. Or rather, that the law is only applicable within certain conditions, or needs some asterisks on it.
