UFOs and figures... works for me!

In a new clip from the upcoming movie "UFO," releasing digitally and on DVD Sept. 4, characters discuss how aliens could use physical constants to navigate across space.
...Gillian Anderson.... stars as a mathematics professor, ... Alex Sharp as a college student investigating UFO sightings near U.S. airports with his girlfriend ..., as an FBI agent ... pursues them. The film's science advisor...was Space.com columnist Paul Sutter.
The fine structure constant relates to the strength of the electromagnetic force between elementary particles. Research has at times suggested that this constant might vary across the universe — so space travelers could use it to triangulate their location, the characters discuss in the clip. That process could work similarly to how pulsar navigation would work, she adds. In that method, navigators would observe the regularly pulsing neutron stars to figure out their own locations.

Navigation is one thing, propulsion within a lifetime between two stars systems is quite another challenge!
Maybe they could get David Dechovny to star as a propulsion professor from another university.
Oh now….you know Gillian’s there for eye candy.
At WKRP.
Unified field theory.
Not fond of so-called UFO films, but I’d pay good money to watch Gillian Anderson read the telephone book.
The spice must flow!
Pure science fiction, no basis in reality. If Gillian Andersen is still hot, I’ll go see it.
Maybe they could get David Dechovny to star as a propulsion professor from another university ... whose specialty is zero-point propulsion ...so that the faster you go, the faster you can go ... and several days later the characters arrive at the solar system of choice.

Is Gillian Andersen still hot?
SAdly, Ms Gillian’s ‘hotness’ was from another time.... She does look the part, a middle aged college math prof...
Huuah!
I heard she plays for the other team now.
"the other team" ?
And what male stereotype do YOU look like?
Same sport, different league.
The purple wig never made sense to me.
“characters discuss how aliens could use physical constants to navigate across space”
right. aliens build a machine that alters Planck’s Constant or Pi or something ...
She never did much for me.
I’d liked to have seen Carolyn Dunn from Sweating Bullets on screen more.
Great B detective show.
