Yea definitely. I unironically think that IF there is truth to it, it's more likely in a perceiving spacetime as easily as we look at a tree or a cloud, but... well, taking such a concept through physics is pretty difficult. There are some fun holographic type of ways to represent spacetime as an object to be played with from the outside, but the math is far beyond me to verify and expand on. It was a TED talk, so the votacity of it might be questionable, too. lol
So many other ways to represent spacetime don't make it very obvious how to control things through time as desired or otherwise control time.
Hell, maybe it's simply a philisophical statement that humanity will get wise enough to easily predict further and further in to the future, like climate change, and watching the sun's cycles vs other stars, etc.
