| Ufologists |  There is little we can do to alter this belief. It is a way of life, delivered by the few, over the many. Therefore, we shall reluctantly accept this appalling attitude to what we seek, and push on unperturbed by the wider, intransigent world.
As we progress deeper in this short work, I will try and explain, simply where possible the evident nature of special relativity, its importance and the difficulties many ufologist have in understanding the very delicate detail this most eminent postulate has always entailed.
For many years now the ufo debate has raged, split individuals from their friends and families, and in some circumstances led to open ridicule between academics and those who truly believe in extraterrestrial life visiting our glorious world in an abundance.
One of the faults with this argument should be placed firmly on the shoulders of academia, for failing, abysmally in my opinion, to explain the intricacies of this very profound war of words.
Ufologist in the past, have been led to believe, the only reason science does not believe their account of ufology, is because no tangible evidence exists. Or at least no tangible evidence in the public domain that could offer closer scrutiny.
But nothing could be further from the truth.
The real reason any scientists, cosomologist, physicist or alike does not believe any ufologist is quite simply, the event under modern physics is not feasibly possible.
And so, we should first delve more candidly into that esoteric little world, and inspect their reasoning, for what they see as a 'non-debate'.
If we imagine we have just witnessed a craft, of the extraterrestrial variety, and have made our report to the relevant authorities. What do we think the reaction would be? Men in black! Members of the DScl (Department of Scientific intelligence) hounding us with some unbelievable dogma to make us retract our story? I think not, although that does always play well for glossy magazines, Hollywood and television shows.
But what we have to remember is, if the event is not possible in the first place, why bother?
Therefore a much more honest expression is delivered, not that many people listen when it is. The amount of ufologists, those who believe in ufos, who have read work of universal theorem, is limited: And it does you credit in reading this. At least this shows you are committed to a plausible argument, advanced by reasoned exchange.
If we took our fictitious sighting, and explained it to a wider audience, what might the outcome be: A lot of sceptic minds? Shoulder shrugs? That derision we spoke of so openly. Probably all of that and a lot more besides.
But let us not forget, anywhere up to 164 million people claimed to have witnessed some extraterrestrial event, of the first, second or third kind. And so it would be disingenuous of us not to at least seek to explore their wonderful accounts of such events.
Yet, if we took science at its word, and there's no reason at this juncture in time why we shouldn't, to a natural conclusion, then we might indeed be forgiven for reaching the same peroration as them, as the scientific evidence currently presented, seems overwhelmingly precise with its advanced, technological backing.
Imagine if you would for a moment, a star. A distant star in the heavens, and all the marvellous fantasies it can create in the human psyche.
If we said the star was our closest neighbour, Proxima centuri, some 4 light years away: (The distance light travels in that period), how long would it take for a spaceship to reach us if travelling at the velocity of light? And please keep in mind that light moves at 186,282,397 miles per second in a vacuum.
We might automatically assume, if the craft travels at the velocity of light, it would take the same as light itself, 4 years. But if the said vessel is measured as a body of mass: (An object measured by its resistance to acceleration), then something rather perverse happens: Time shrinks!
And this is really where the crux of
