Yea, just because he came up with quantum electrodynamics, and later won a Nobel Prize in physics. What does he know.

[SpacedTime]

How brilliantly logical and simple he makes life seem.

I can think of a couple of reasons no astronomer told Patrick Moore that he'd had a UFO sighting. However, according to a survey of members of the American Astronomical Society, several have. Google Jnl. of Scientific Exploration, 8, 2, for results.

@RMax304823 " a lot of credible people have reported UFO sightings, including about 5% of the members of the American Astronomical Society."

I find that impossible to believe. Patrick Moore said that of all the reports he had of UFOs he had never gotten one from a professional astronomer and they spend more time looking at the sky than most people

@IsLikeThat well, then yes. But does the layman care about infomation and causality :P lol ?

[IsLikeThat]

@alpha520mec Well yeah, but in the more layman speak that I'm trying to say, I'm really just talking information and causality.

[alpha520mec]

@IsLikeThat Well, that's complicated lol. Because even group of waves can go faster. Or group speed can even be negative. That's sounds crazy but it's like that.

[IsLikeThat]

@edgekrusher20 Actually, it's not that matter and energy can't travel faster than light. It's that it can only travel at that speed. It is the one allowed speed. All matter and energy travel at that speed, just in different directions. So, slower that light speed is not possible either. Only the direction within 4 dimensional space may change. We can only see 3 dimensions & that gives us the illusion that matter is speeding up or slowing. In reality its velocity is changing direction, not speed.

[IsLikeThat]

@alpha520mec Yeah thats what I meant. So even better, waves as a whole don't travel faster than light.

[alpha520mec]

@IsLikeThat No, waves dont travel faster than the speed of light. Phase speed can sometimes be larger than the speed of light, but the only "physical significance of a wave" lies in the wave front of the group of waves.

Indeed, it is more likely that the things we see in the air (i never personally saw one), come from our planet, from military experiments for example. It is more likely because we don't know any aliens (as far as I'm concerned...), but we sometimes know what does our military. So before saying it comes from the aliens, we have to prove it doesnt come from the army. Feynman is 100% right.

@Kokainuser: By that logic I am immortal because I believe I will never die and I am 100% right, unless I die. Yes, I am comparing UFOs today with meteorites in 1840. Besides, a lot of credible people have reported UFO sightings, including about 5% of the members of the American Astronomical Society.
