“It’s more plausible than that “aliens” learned to violate the laws of physics”

Splitting an atom was once considered a violation of the laws of physics and then our understanding of those laws changed. It is entirely plausible that someone has a different understanding of the laws of physics than that which is popularly accepted.

I’m not saying “aliens” here but more likely our own military or some other murky branch of government.

Yup—some Freepers are stuck in what I call “straight-jacket science”.

They think science is there to tell us what is impossible.

I think science is there to give us a foundation to learn more about what is possible.

I think it’s a whole lot less plausible than you might think, once you start delving into the amount of confirmation we have for the basic propositions of relativity. Relativity has some unresolved issues, but its observation that it is impossible to accelerate a mass to anywhere near the speed of light isn’t one of them.
