Rod you are my favorite poster on this site - hands down. I am a ham operator, Sci-Fi geek, astronomer, and huge believer in intelligent extraterrestrial life.
But since travel at the speed of light requires infinite mass, requiring exotic wormholes to pull it off (Sagan’s “Contact” is my favorite book of all time), it seems implausible that these guys would have any interest in little old Earth.
Add to that the complexities of keeping it a secret...
Much as I’d love to believe it, I just don’t think we’ve seen visitors.
JMO!
Rodguy911, maker of some of the worlds BEST saltwater fishing rods, is a dear Internet friend I want visit and go fishing with and I love him like a brother. Nothing will alter that.
However, I do disagree with conspiracy theories, especially anything involving aliens or a total lack of scientific proof. That, for me, also means man-made global warming, the ultimate conspiracy theory of our age.
However, as you said to me Rod, we all have our own opinions and I do respect that.
True there’s only one thing faster than the speed of light the speed of thought.
25 years ago I would have agreed with you but in the past 25 years I’ve read a lot of stuff that I’ve confirmed and reconfirmed so I guess we all have our own beliefs
There are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we do not know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.
It sounds like a riddle. It isn't a riddle. It is a very serious, important matter.
