"Only something like The Q on Star Trek would be sufficiently advanced, and there is no scientific explanation for Q."
Your point of view makes the same assumption that would have been made by almost anyone in the 18th century. Anything they would have imagined would have been based on things that existed or had some theoretical basis then, and they would have said that anything else was impossible. Just as you are doing now. Or even in the 19th century: "In 1889, Charles H. Duell was the Commissioner of US patent office. He is widely quoted as having stated that the patent office would soon need to shrink in size, and eventually close, because, according to his perspective: — Everything that can be invented has been invented." [1]
When I referred in my original comment to technology that may involve a deep understanding of awareness itself, phenomenon like Q may begin to come into scope. But again, we almost certainly can't even begin to imagine the things that will emerge because, today, we simply don't have any basis to make the necessary extrapolations.
