[QUOTE="MoonSong, post: 7766815, member: 6689464"] Politics get in the way of proper funding and access to peer reviewed publication -some fields of study get more or less of either depending on what is popular in the government and academia, but the itty gritty details are best left off this site-. Those are key to have the scienting done. ^o^ wiii!! someone found a practical use for quantum entanglement. We truly are living in the future. Just note that neither of these truly meant FTL is possible. Quantum entanglement can transmit information quite fast, but it's just data, you cannot do it with people and things that already exist. And these Tachyons -if they truly exist- are in the realm of exotic particles, so nothing you can built a spaceship with -and since an antimatter collision could mean the death of this universe, I would say they are out of the question as a power source-. I'm not saying we know everything, but if you can truly accelerate stuff with actual mass beyond the speed of light using finite energy, then everything we know is wrong and only works out of sheer dumb luck. Also notice that the last 50 years have been less revolutionary in our understanding of physics than the 50 years before that. (But of course I've only had a couple of undergrad courses in physics, so I'm far from an expert) And back to the topic, in order for the stuff in the sky to be alien devices we need that at least one other planet out there has had the conditions for life, that it has actually developed life, that one of these lifeforms actually got complex and intelligent enough to be considered sentient, that that species has managed to build a way more advanced technological society than us before us, that the have found us out of the millions and millions of planets out there, and that everything we know about physics is essentially wrong. Somehow I find the outright supernatural explanation more likely, or at least more honest. I mean I find the alien explanation no less of a fantasy. [/QUOTE]
