The theory is, their ships protect them from the forces in some way.


Plus, we do not know if they are biological in nature...they appear to be (according to those that have seen them), but we dont even know what they are yet.

Whose theory ? Has anyone actually developed one, past imagining the Star Trek shields ? This is sort of like saying “ the theory on being transported as pure energy is that they get beamed from point A to point B somehow”.

I always loved Stargate SG1 (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118480/) because it made all this travel so easy. No rockets, no spacecraft, just rely on some unknown ancient technology to instantly transport us, or them, to faraway planets and galaxies. It was a great program for science fiction followers that had a very hard time dealing with great distances between the planets and far away solar systems.

I believe this is possible, but we just do not yet know how to do it.


I read awhile back in a Popular Mechanics article, they were talking about technology that allows people to text or email tangible objects, it claimed they had been working on it for some time, by the way they described it, it sounded like 'teleportation', (but only for non living objects).


I will say that if this world we live in is truly like a 'matrix'...achieving teleportation should be possible.


I will also say that, once and if this technology is ever realized, it will put freight moving industry out of business for good! (which would destroy the economy,so, its likely it would be suppressed for the sake of national/global security)

You have to think outside the box. Just becaiuse we are human, biological, based on carbon, does NOT mean all other beings are the same. Development in another environment would probably have created another biology totally different from ours here on this planet. Even if they live underground then it is still unlikely they will have our biology.

Abductees have reported seeing mantis-like beings, reptile-like beings, as well as the greys. All of these could be either biological or robot or a mixture, we just dont know what is flying about in these craft and we have no way to find out or where they come from. Extremely frustrating.

The guys from CSETI (Dr Steven Greer's crowd) suggest some of them can be contacted by telepathy but as far as I know there is no face-to-face contact, only a hand-waving or light-flashing from afar. I dont quite know what to make of this as I have not been involved, but I am sure there are some on here who know more than I do and can enlighten us what the CSETI agenda is and what they hope to achieve.

I can understand the reluctance to make face-to-face contact with us if they look scary (ie: non-human). We are more likely to shoot first and ask questions (whether they are friendly or not) afterwards.

In the next few years, there will be more to think about than just teleportation. We are fast approaching the technological 'singularity' where computers (according to Wikipedia) "is a hypothetical point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible, resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization."

If humans merge with AI our data, our essence, could travel at the speed of light and (possibly) not be affected by time or environment. Of course, some will always debate if it would really be us or a hollow copy of the real you?

I've thought about that, when the day comes we can "download our consciousness" to a humanoid (human-like robot) and in theory, live forever, or until someone forgets to change/recharge our batteries!

If someone can transfer their memories/consciousness to a droid, you won't have to worry about diseases and getting old, because "your body" would be a machine. It's fascinating to think about the possibilities and you can spend millions of years exploring our universe, if you became a humanoid.

That is science fiction and has no basis in science fact. Your brain is not a computer. You are more than a machine.

Computers may indeed get to the point where they can mimic consciousness to the point that we can't tell the difference. Watch the movie EX MACHINA or read "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" But you have to keep in mind: The computer is a mimic. It is not really conscious in the same way we are.

Im skeptical about the technical singularity, Ive seen the videos of advanced humanoid robots, doing things humans do...but the catch is, there are usually teams of people involved with every little detail along the way.


Sure, we will reach a point eventually where androids like in Ex Machina will be the norm, but I dont think it will be in our lifetimes

My feeling is it will be sooner, rather than later. The point is it is all about money. If people can invent/make machines that can replicate and produce products very cheaply (without labor cost), then it will happen sooner.
