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.
At WKRP.
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.
UFOs and figures... works for me!
“characters discuss how aliens could use physical constants to navigate across space”

“Must not work if they end up in Cincinnati”
Maybe “they” were familiar with the quote attributed to Mark Twain: “When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Cincinnati because it’s always 20 years behind the times.”
Reaching new levels of absurdity, if it varies than it's not a constant now is it?
