Michael Kratsios, Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, made a sensational statement, claiming that the United States has developed technologies that allow it to control time and space. Speaking at the Endless Frontiers Retreat, he emphasized that these achievements radically reduce distances, speed up processes and increase productivity, opening up new horizons for science and the economy. According to him, innovations are destroying traditional barriers, ensuring the United States' leadership in the global technology race. The statement caused a wide resonance, although Kratsios did not reveal specific details about the nature of the technologies, leaving room for speculation.

The statement echoes earlier remarks by President Donald Trump, who in March 2025 hinted at the existence of a secret American weapon not known to the public. He emphasized that U.S. technology was superior to other countries, but avoided providing details, sparking a flurry of speculation. Trump had previously mentioned “hydrosonic” missiles during his first term, drawing ridicule for confusing the term with “hypersonic.” But the White House’s new statement is seen as an attempt to highlight the technological leap, especially as it faces competition from China and Russia.

Kratsios’s ambitious words are reflected in current U.S. developments. According to Reuters, in April 2025, the Pentagon successfully tested the AGM-183A ARRW hypersonic missile, which can reach speeds of up to Mach 20, significantly outpacing its counterparts. According to Defense News, the budget for quantum technology and artificial intelligence research in 2025 exceeded $30 billion, including DARPA projects to create systems that can “compress” decision-making time in military operations. The Quantum Leap program, according to Scientific American, is aimed at developing quantum computers that can instantly process huge amounts of data, which indirectly corresponds to the idea of ​​​​manipulating time.

China, the US's main rival, is not far behind. According to the South China Morning Post, in March 2025, Beijing announced the creation of a quantum radar capable of detecting stealth aircraft at a distance of up to 1000 km, which is also perceived as a breakthrough in space management.
