You’re right, but you’re looking at it from our view. Our as in the human race, which has been stated, is as primitive as it gets compared to the potential countless civilisations out there.

Imagine the conversation between us and a visitor. You only sent unmanned craft to your nearest planet? We could get there in minutes.

We only know what we know now. In 500,000 years, you can only imagine what the human race could be like. As it is now, it is about 1 second in.

Mass cannot travel faster than the speed of light. That’s the same everywhere. The stuff you talk about were achievable. Light speed isn’t for mass.

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, you cannot travel faster than the speed of light because as you approach the speed of light, your mass increases infinitely, meaning it would require an infinite amount of energy to accelerate further, making it physically Impossible. For any being who has mass.

Analysis?
It’s hysterical bullshit.

Crop circles for the modern world.

Tell me you’ve not followed the story without telling me you’ve not followed the story.

I’m just surprised the yanks aren’t throwing sticks at them or trying to rake them out of ponds, they appear that stupid.
Especially the footage of a “very large” drone that’s an airliner…

But it is only 'physically impossible' within our current understanding of physics. Or are you saying we have completed science?

It was physically impossible to split the atom some 80 years ago. The atom didn't even exist another 80 years before that. It was only 12 years ago the higgs boson paricle was successfully collided by acceleration, after 50 years of first coming up with the theory. It was physically impossible for space to exist, with moving planets in it, some 500 years ago, when the theory got you locked up in Europe.

Yeah it takes time for something theoretical to get the technology to make it practical. But we are not at an end of all things theoretical, who knows what new observations and theories will come over the life cycle of the species.

I'm not saying that the science is complete at all but physics and biology too brings problems that may just be too complex. We know that gravity is a force that keeps us all rooted to the ground for example. It affects us everyday, we can observe it and even predict the behaviour of something impacted by it but we have no idea what it actually is.

Everything we see is actually just an electrical impulse where the brain decides what something is so who is to say that it even exists, consciousness itself may well just be a simulation. The best we can hope for is a continuous evolution of best guess and that's where physics has been locked for centuries.

Did you know that like any camera your eyes see the world upside down and the brain then flips the image upright automatically? If you wore prismatic glasses to turn your view upside down then eventually the brain would adapt and you'd essentially forget that you are looking at things upside down.

It's absolutely mental and we have no idea what's going on with ourselves let alone the world around us.

Only have mass at Christmas. Wish it was at the speed of light.

I remember the trauma well.

It is the 'according to... theory' that is the pertinent point there. Yes, of course within the current understanding of the theory we have to date (formed within only the last 100 odd years) it is not possible. That theory superceeded another and may well in time be replaced with a more encompassing one.


It is really not that wild a concept, and it is the whole principle that science as a field is based on. That there is always more to learn and discover and that we don't just stop at an arbitrary point. There have been and will be challenges to that or any other theory. Some will be credible, some not, some will take decades if not centuries to form to a workable point.
