Interstellar travel, under the laws of physics, is impossible. Few an comprehend how empty space is, even in a galaxy like ours. Nothing with mass can go the speed of light, not even close. And, if aliens were bopping around, they would almost certainly communicate by radio waves or electromagnetic radiation of some kind. And we can pick that up easily. We haven't heard a peep, let alone seeing one
Is there life out there, undoubtedly. Intelligent, certainly. Will we communicate someday, probably. We have been sending out radio waves for 100 years so anyone that close has heard us. But face to face, not very likely

Light does because it is unique in that exists but has no mass. We understand that perfectly. And it's unchangeable

What are you sure of? That there is no other sentient life in the galaxy? That it would be impossible for aliens to travel across dozens or hundreds or thousands of light years to get here? That if aliens DID come here, they would certainly make themselves known? I don't think aliens have actually been here, mainly because according to our current understanding of the laws of physics interstellar travel is all but impossible, but I can't understand how anyone can dismiss the possibility out of hand. Even with our current understanding aren't there things like wormholes that would make faster interstellar travel possible...

There are also other theories why we havent stumbled upon aliens yet. Dark Forest and Zoo theories. Odds are that there are aliens across the universe who are far beyond our tech capabilities that they may as well be ghosts. The cosmos is very old after all

You didn't fix shit Yeah and we once thought the Sun revolved around the Earth and that the atom was the smallest unit re matter...

You dont think our knowledge can advance?

Not that we know of but physics can be manipulated. Question-did humanity create the universe?

UFOs certainly exist, though I’m skeptical that they are alien spacecraft. It’s something else. We should definitely be studying the phenomena.

I like Salon for its political and entertainment writing, but they just suck when it comes to science, and this attention grabbing headline was typical of their bullshit.
Literally nothing particularly special happened in 2023 on the UFO front that hasn't been happening for decades over and over again in some form or other. Nothing ever comes of it. And there was precious little of anything resembling "science" in the entire article.

Here's some interesting trivia: Does the Universe expand faster than light? linkThe answer is yes but it's not the same as a free object traversing faster than the speed of light. The explanation is that it's expanding like a loaf of bread and the raisins on it would represent the galaxies. So it's already occurring naturally out there in some respects. Who knows what science can come up with in the future?

I meant regarding Ufology. These so-called UFO sightings have been bogus so far. No alien has ever visited Earth. There must be life somewhere. I doubt we'll see alien contact in our lifetime. Maybe hundreds of years from now. Who knows. So the radar is lying too? Okay. I guess a lying machine is better to contemplate than an alien invasion.
