-Eric Weinstein uses the term "Einstein's Prison" to describe the constraints imposed by Einsteinian physics—specifically the speed of light as a fundamental limit that makes interstellar travel incredibly difficult. He argues that our current understanding of physics, based on Einstein’s theories, creates a kind of barrier preventing significant breakthroughs in space travel and fundamental physics.
+Eric Weinstein coined the term "Einstein's Prison" to describe the constraints imposed by Einsteinian physics—specifically the speed of light as a fundamental limit that makes interstellar travel incredibly difficult. He argues that our current understanding of physics, based on Einstein’s theories, creates a kind of barrier preventing significant breakthroughs in space travel and fundamental physics.
 In contrast, the idea of an "Einsteinian Prison Break" is about finding a way beyond these constraints. Weinstein suggests that just as Einstein revolutionized Newtonian physics, we may need a new paradigm shift in physics—one that renders Einstein's theories as approximations rather than the most fundamental laws. He implies that such a breakthrough could allow for previously impossible ideas, like faster-than-light travel, to become feasible.
