No "fully qualified expert" said we would die if we went faster than 35 mph. The people who said that had no evidence or observation to support the idea and there was in fact evidence to the contrary (cheetahs, lions, many types of birds) that they were ignoring.

Don't conflate saying something is too hard (likely to be proven wrong eventually) with saying something is impossible based on known physics (less likely to be proven wrong).

Good education and the capacity to take care of everyone's basic needs should make cults and terrorists a non-issue. We are talking about an advanced civilization, I think we can assume those things would exist on a starship.

Laws of physics aren't usually found to be wrong, they are just improved when new cases that haven't been previously considered are discovered. For instance Einstein didn't show that Newton was wrong, he just found that Newton's laws didn't work well for extremely high speeds. You'll note that Newton's math still works just as well as Einstein's does for almost all terrestrial applications.

The sheer transparency of Assange's bias against Clinton is also hilarious. He's admitted that he times releases so that they case the most harm, so transparency isn't his only goal. He's also made ridiculous insinuations against Clinton which have no merit.

It's entirely reasonable to assume that if he had anything against Trump he would sit on it or time the release so that it causes the least harm (i.e. after the election).
