The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis vs the Interdimensional Hypothesis

[UesugiKenshin]

Hollywood embraced the Extraterrestrial Hypthesis and so since they are essentially propagandists, and not scientifically minded, that was enbraced by silly normal ordinary people.

You see, other than the Alburiere Drive, which may in fact work, conventional physics and quantum mechanics states that you need infinite energy to approach light speed. That's certainly a BIG problem.

Secondly the stars are too far away, so to get there would require trillions in investment and maybe never pays off directly, but indirectly gains enormous advancements in technology.

Thirdly, by the time the astronauts get there, technology has advanced and maybe the 2nd ship sent gets there before the 1st one arrives. See technology can be faster than time itself and so during the transit time, the motive for the mission and tech needed becomes irrelevant.

So the idea that galactic extraterrestrials travel enormous distances makes no sense unless they live vastly more time than humans or maybe whatever ufos and aliens are witnessed are genetically engineered androids.

Dr. Jacques Vallee is a French astrophysist who helped Dr. J Allen Hynek on Project Bluebook. He is the foremost expert on ufos. He went on to the science of informatics but does on occassion lecture on ufology. He wants a scientific study of ufos, not scientists being ridiculed for studying the phenomena, and certainly not amateurs being responsible for interviewing witnesses and analyzing data. That is absurd.

He believes that there are parallel dimensions. He believes they don't travel here but cross dimensions in this area of space time. So the energy requirements are far lower. They co-exist in a sense in this region.

Humans are three dimensional beings who age over time and live in space time.

A 4D interdimensional being experiences all time as the same and would be like the creatures (heptapods) in the film Arrival. They are not bound by time...at least not their awareness of time as it is nonsequential.

A 5D creature would exist 90 degrees outside our ability to view them and so when they entered our reality from another dimension, they starships would appear to warp or be distorted. That has been witnessed before. Such beings would immediately know everything about you as time is meaningless and so seem omniscient. Such beings might be able to time travel or even travel the multiverse and so see alternate realities of every other choice ever made.

And so forth, as 6D beings might not only travel the multiverse, but be able to travel where the dinosaurs did not go extinct, but evolved into the dominant apex predator and the sentient lifeform.

This alternate interdimensional theory makes sense as whatever visitors have traveled to the Earth seem quite different with unique ships and do not act uniformly. The Condon Report found myriad kinds of craft. Then tends to lead us to thinking they are not from one species, but many.

As it takes too long, requires too much energy, and seems irrelevant as whatever the rationale for visiting the Earth would be altered by the passage of time in transit, the interdimensional theory is scientific and more logical and the best explanation. Thus it satisfies the Occam's razor test.

We might end up with intrasolar travel to mine asteroids, even colonize the moon and Mars. We might do interstellar travel by visiting superearth planets that are nearby using the Alcubiere Drive. But we need suspended animation as the crew would need to eat and require supplies to last the voyage, right? They would age and be weakened by low gravity and be debilitated, thus would absolutely require artificial gravity. Still they would have a low bone mass issues and some would succumb to space psychosis and terrible infections within a closed region where pathogens would breed. Mold is a terrible issue on a space vessel as is fungus. There can be terrible issues with skin growth and wound repair in space.

But the interdimensional theory and experiments may be what causes first contact with other beings who coexist in this region of space time. We may not actually travel across lightyears but stay put and enter a new dimension with far less energy and with far less expense.

Or doing so may let interdimensional creatures into our plane of existence like the film The Mist.

Philosophically,the atheists would rejoice as terrestrial life may have been seeded from another dimension and then spread.

When Vallee did his earliest work, he uncovered the oldest tales of the fey in Celtic myth and found the earliest depictions looked like grey aliens. There are parallels with changelings and women who report missing pregnancies.

He believes that besides infanticide being an aspect of every culture and besides premature delivery mortality, that there was more to the phenomena. What if a being from an extraterrestrial or interdimensional place visited? How would they be perceived? What what they communicate to whoever saw them? How would you communicate with a primitve species and what cultural contamination would occur.

In his opinion, they are not benevolent, but have their own reasons for lying to establish information control systems and affect our cutures. It is the very opposite of the Prime Directive.

The French astrophysicist depicted in the film Close Encounters of the Third Kind is based on Dr. Vallee. It's ironic as both that film and ET by Spielberg promote the extraterrestrial hypothesis.

The Irish mythology discusses "thin places" where our reality and an alternate supernatural realm touch in easier ways.

Some Native American cultures have a similar idea.

Both have had close encounters with otherworldy beings.

Even the Bible discusses different realms of existence.

John Keel is another proponent of the Interdimensional Hypothesis of UFOs. Scientifically, it's harder and harder to dismiss as interstellar space travel seems less plausible based on science and mathematics.

Privately, it's claimed that Hynek believed in the Interdimensional Hypothesis as well.

In the BotE proposed history, they don't travel by warp drives but by folding space. So this makes invasion problematic as with the best technology, you don't genuinely travel across space, but bring your space time and the destination's space time together...and are suddenly there.

How could you set up perimeter defenses? You could not!

[UesugiKenshin]

Regardless of what you believe, imagine if there was very high research that allowed any superior race to traverse the galaxy in a single turn to any destination for each turn at advanced levels is two weeks...so technically not instantaneous but allowing for warp 10.

What then? Amazing battles as suddenly the enemy is there.

Or if BotE had campaign scripting one example.
On turn# 900, spawn 2 fleets of diverse units at several map coordinate points and engage in attacks.

Either way could introduce heretofore unknown alien species that have no homesector but are looking for one. Maybe they are mediors ie minor aliens who are spacefaring and so not bound to their sector. Maybe they are repawned minor alien races whose relatives were conquered but existed somewhere else...and boy, they are furious you conquered their people.

Either way could totally change space combat and diplomatic relations.

You could have arriving Kryptonians who take over one of your colonial sectors.

You could have an interdimensional species.

Yet another theory, but similar to the interdimensional theory, is that aliens in ufos are actually humans from our future. Maybe some calamity occurs and they are trying to figure out when it occurred...so they can prevent us from messing them up.

Or they are from the multiverse and had a calamity and seeing why we did not so they can fix what happened to them.

Or they are from the multiverse and study other species.

All plausible story lines for BotE modding. Already one random event has something similar (The Midway event).
