The flying pizza is a fake, or at lease someone's edited an extra splash in. OR the whale photo is a fake to cover up papa johns new drone tech.

OK baizuo posted:It's von Neumann probes except for if anyone out there has figured out artificial wormholes, because there's no such thing as ftl otherwise I wouldn't say that with certainty. Saying physics as we know it now says it's impossible is one thing. Saying it is utterly impossible is another.

Vomik posted:if you invented faster than light travel you could theoretically go back in time and abduct yourself You cant actually go faster than the speed of light. Even if we did it would only be useful to going to the future relative to someone not going as fast as you. The past doesn't exist. it's gone. You can't go back to it.

If you're going to live forever barring accidents, who cares if it takes a few thousand years to go explore a random planet? That said if it's really extraterrestrial von Neuman probes are still my bet.

you don't have to go faster than the speed of light, you just have to approach it and when you do space contracts and objects become much closer. for all intents and purposes from your own point of reference you can travel faster than the speed of light but when you reach your destination all your relatives will be older source: my uncle is gay

If you had infinite power / resources you could view the past a bit. This would require wormholes and a reflecting mirror the size of a solar system. Still then youd would not be able to see like people talking to each other.

Yes it is "not hard" to go very fast (relative to other things) by just accelerating at constant thrust. The is one of the main ideas behind the fermi paradox btw. since it seems trivial for an advanced civilization to travel distances like "galaxy" size, there should be evidence of this travel since time is so long. Basically, there is way more time than distance in the history of a galaxy.

Basically, there is way more time than distance in the history of a galaxy. The single example of the human race seems to point strongly to the possibility that technological civilizations are extremely short-lived and unlikely to have the capacity to travel into space for more than a few hundred years before causing a mass extinction event that takes them with it.

But since there is evidence of other civilizations traveling across the galaxy, the Fermi Paradox has been solved and we dont need to worry about depressing left wing ideas like "THE GREAT FILTER"

another issue is communication, any individuals or teams or families would be essentially cut off from communication from their home planet and would be operating autonomously and could relay no information or receive instructions within a reasonable timeframe by human standards unless they figure out some kind of quantum entanglement or micro wormhole tech the latter of which I think is actually within the realm of possibility

Some UFOs seem to defy our current understanding of physics...so maybe it's possible that we don't actually know everything about how everything works. But many theories about UFOs being aliens dont even involve ftl. They involve bending space time with fancy warp bubbles, so that you're technically not even moving and wormholes and poo poo like that. Or it's robot probes that can fly for thousands of years at sublight speeds with no problems

He says that the geese passed in front of two large, oval or cigar-shaped objects in the air surrounded by a reddish glow, and that one of these began to descend as he looked on in awe to land on a nearby flat shelf of rock, where it seemed to morph into a disc-like shape right before his startled eyes. As the strange object did this, the other craft allegedly ascended into the sky to disappear, leaving Michalak alone with the glowing disc that had landed only about 45 meters away from him.

Rah! posted:Some UFOs seem to defy our current understanding of physics...so maybe it's possible that we don't actually know everything about how everything works. I maintain a optimistic outlook on Alcubierre drives, They can technically work mathematically, we don't know if they can work physically and if they did they have a bunch of problems (energy requirements equivalent to a large planet, gamma radiation shockwaves, being unable to start or stop) that are far beyond us at the moment. But, man, if they did work that would be so cool. So I like to file that one in the "It must work because I really want it to" category

I used to get the particle data group (group of physicists doing the particle smashing) annual particle guide, it's got literally thousands of exotic particles that only last for nanoseconds before decay but it's pretty goddamned cool to see basically a guide to every particle you can create by smashing protons together.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:It would have left a characteristic rise in CO2 in a span of hundreds vs hundreds of thousands of years + a layer of plastic everywhere if a global technological civilization. Dinosaurs were on this planet for over a hundred and fifty million years, billions and billions of animals running around all over every corner of the earth over the course of millions of years. But all we have to show for it is maybe eleven or twelve thousand fossilized skeletons and some footprints. The crust of the earth gets refreshed and replaced over geological time scales. A global thermonuclear war in the Triassic, for example, would leave no radiological trace whatsoever today. I think you seriously overestimate the likelihood of things (artifacts or individuals) being preserved, or indirect traces (radiological, carbon, mineralogical, etc.) being distinguishable from the background. Do you really think organic hydrocarbons like plastic aren’t going to break down on a timescale of hundreds of thousands, or millions of years? It’s totally absurd (especially in the UFO thread of all places) to dismiss a Silurian possibility out of hand. It’s much more probable that we missed something on Earth, where we know life exists and existed, than out in the stars somewhere.
