Thoughts on UFO's??

oh really? how do u figure? call me ignorant, but last time i checked a theory was a hypothesis that has been PROVEN accurate by multiple scientists. Thats like saying that 1+1 does not always equal 2... just doesnt work like that. I'm just assuming that you were refering to his theory of relativity.

oh and btw, in this time you speak of- where a fast horse was considered to be the maximum speed attainable- that was the maximum speed they could attain with their technology(or lack of). So are u insinuating that one may be able to travel faster than the speed of light, in the future? haha, do u some research.

worm-holes, black holes, and inter dimensional travel; Einstein believed in those, and have been proven to be very real. Maybe you should look into Quatum Mechanics a bit become making outlandish claims like that.

:D I think we're mostly talking in generalities and possibilities.
Is there a unified field theory yet? Seems like there were and are a few things that Einstein. Hawkings and others have yet to explain or prove, so maybe the door is open to things you or others haven't thought about or developed yet.
(a hypothesis has been proven, but does that mean it can't be further developed or interpreted, or new aspects of it discovered? )
To me, its an exciting time, and we are on the threshold of many new discoveries. String theory, quantum mechanics, biogenetics, just to name a few...
Also, if interdimensional travel is possible, wouldn't that negate the need to travel faster than light?

All I am is saying is that to state something like FTL travel is impossible is simply silly. All we know for certain is that we can't do it now at this point in time. We do not know what is possible in the future. History is full of respected scientists stating that so and so is not possible, an lo and behold, not so many years later, they had egg on their face. 200 years ago, who would have imagined that someday a person would be able to have a conversation with someone on the other side of the planet or for that matter, on the moon. So what I am saying is;

"Nothings impossible, we just can't do it right now"

Why would you say it's simply silly? I mean, it's not as if there aren't some pretty damn convincing equations saying it's impossible. It's not as if there haven't been extremely accurate experiments testing this claim. It's not as if there haven't been some extremely energetic events like gamma ray bursts, black holes and supernovas that all are limited by the speed of light.

You might say that scientists in the past have been proven wrong, but then you'd be ignoring the enormous progress we've made over the past 100 years. An analogy would be like suggesting that there could still be cheese on the moon since scientists 100 years ago have had theories about the moon that have been proven wrong. Yes we've been to the moon now and haven't seen any cheese, but we've only been 6 times. Who's to say we know all there is to know about the moon? Who's to say there isn't cheese there that we don't know about? To say with certainty that there isn't any cheese there is just silly.
