Crowd follower? Hmmmm. All you have to do is prove that Einstein and his General Theory of Relativity was wrong. Otherwise the speed of light remains the limit. Therefore no biological or mechanical entity from another star could ever reach earth. Admire people who think out of the box. However the line between consensus and delusion is awfully thin. It is easily crossed.
No, I do not ‘need’ to meet your criteria. But your insistence is a huge clue to your closed-mindedness. Have nice day, Sorry.
I have two simple questions for you: Does a photon cross the Universe always in the present of when it was emitted; can you describe the null path?
