TWO Air Force vets have testified to Pentagon's UFO office about seeing mysterious ob

True, but we did have knowledge of human organs and some knowledge of how they worked going back to ancient Egypt and India, so it was more an issue of filling in the knowledge blanks.

Currently we have zero examples of anything traveling faster than C to study.

I'm not trying to bust your chops, certainly, but I do enjoy discussions on physics and the sciences.

Me, I simply cannot fathom how C can be reached no matter the technology achieved ... and so far we have only discussed the tier one obstacles.

A single 10 milligram grain of sand striking Earth's atmosphere at 99.9% of C would take out a major city. A bowling ball, under the same conditions, would take out Rhode Island. The Great Pyramid would be an extinction level event. A small planetoid would vaporize the planet.

At C time is no longer experienced, hence the energy of every minute collision in interstellar space would release its energy at once when the brakes were hit.

I think it more likely we find natural wormholes stable enough to use than developing a technology to actually travel faster than light. At some point we will find a way to make one.

Wormholes are hypothetically possible, but naturally unstable and incredibly tiny. Perhaps approaching the hypothetical Planck length.

I think it's more than hypothetical. Especially if we were to redefine what a wormhole could be. We already use the curvature of space time to slingshot our craft into space. We also know that everything in the universe is connected by magnetism, it is plausible that we could ride these lines as a means of space travel. These could potentially give us a warp type speed that we could use to traverse the cosmos.

[LWW]

What does ‘warp type speed’ mean?

[stephenpe]

hundreds of times the speed of light.

Warp factor five is 125x the speed of light or 83,827,078,673mph

[Standing Wolf]

So you believe the past still exists.

If Time is a dimension, how is the past still existing any different than when I move from Point A to Point B, I look back and Point A still exists?

[LWW]

hundreds of times the speed of light.

Good luck with that.

You answered your own question.

You can’t look back and see the past of your own timeline.

Because we can't physically see it with our unaided senses, that doesn't mean that it isn't there - or that it can't be reached. Even in terms of the three dimensions with which we're most familiar, there are limits to what we can see, let alone what we're able to physically reach. Take "height". Our ability to see in that dimension is severely limited, and to reach it even more so. The human eye can see a plane passing over at roughly 30,000 feet or about 5.7 miles, but can only see the stars and other astronomical objects when they either emit or reflect light. Similarly, different points within the dimension of Time may only be visible under certain circumstances - either when particular conditions exist, or when some artificial aid to perception is employed.

You are, again, arguing against the laws of physics and the greatest minds from Einstein forward.

The past, and future, are by all known science unreachable.

The arrow of time points in only one direction.

The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy ... disorder ... of a serious magnitude increases with time. Traveling into the future would reverse entropy.

Also, if the past and present both do exist ... then we live in eternalism, or a block universe.
