“who claim it’s impossible to travel that fast or faster.”

Here is the difference between us naysayers and you true believers. If a physicist can prove with repeatable testing that objects can go faster than light, then I will accept it as a proven fact. If, however, their testing proves nothing can exceed the speed of light you will continue to believe in visits from aliens, even though the thousands of years of travel it would take to reach earth would convince any normal person to accept it is beyond the realm of possibility.

That is the difference, I believe ultimately in science, and you believe in whatever confirms what you want so badly to believe in.

WRONG

yet again.

1. Your worship at the altar of a virtually certain TYPE II ERROR mentality is still astonishing.

2. Much in the science text books is wrong . . . deliberately.

3. I came at this without any preconceived notions. It was merely an interesting curiosity. I was neutral—as neutral as anyone could be, on all the key variables. . . . from a science fiction interest. You seem to have an incapacity or unwillingness to BELIEVE THE TRUTH about that. Obviously, your skills as a psychologist you are not—not your role, not your profession, IIRC, are not top flight.

4. I have merely followed the information for these 47+ years—wherever it has led. I’m still merely following the information. You seem to be the one with the axe to grind about it all.

5. Thankfully, I had a close relative work around the craft.

6. And, I’ve interviewed a surprising number of world renowned experts in the field quite a number of hours worth.

7. And, I’ve read many 10,000’s of pages of documentation.

8. Some of my close friends have had profound experiences in the field.

9. And, I seem to be a several 100 percent more fair minded than you seem capable of or willing to risk.

10. The fellow who headed Lockeed Skunk Works was CERTAINLY NO slouch, as a scientist. He didn’t have any doubts about the capacity to travel faster than light. I find his career and expertise in the field enormously greater than yours.
