There is no paradox. Aliens have been present and apparent since the beginning of mankind.

Perhaps you should read the article. It would be worth your time...

I've read many things about the Fermi Paradox and other similar ideas about why we don't see anything.

In this specific example however, my work computer forbids me from examining your link further.

I don't know about everyone else here... But I've personally been distrustful of cat owners since Men in Black.

My belief is that at some point we will achieve near light travel speed. Some dumb teenager will take his dad's ship out and crash it into the planet. Or some doomsday type group will pepper the planet with objects from orbit. It all boils down to some idiot ruining it for everyone else.

Right around the corner! The "bigfoot" will give us its buckle drive technology.

I find your insightful theories fascinating. Is there a place I can learn more about this new era we will soon be entering?


I hear the deep web may contain a bit or two...

It already exists. There is a difference between the public knowledge of physics (obviously flawed and incorrect) and what the select group of scientists/physicists know. Time based physics will never work for many reasons. You can unify physics and consider time.

At first I thought you were making Ancient Aliens jokes and missing a golden opportunity to post Giorgio Tsoukalos memes, but now you have me intrigued. Tell me more about this secret science conspiracy.

to the point...humans have already built a speed of light starship.

It's true because we already did it in the future.

which means you don't exist because the future is now regardless of the future timeline

This is a page of a thread on a forum on a website on the internet... not a room.

Now we know you're not.

The quantum entanglement stuff allows you to transfer information faster than the speed of light. It would seem like something with the potential to be a foundation for artificial worm holes, although one caveat would be you have to use normal physical transportation to move one end of the wormhole. But if self replicating robots could colonize the galaxy in a mere 4 million years, you have to wonder where the hell is our Star Gate?
