So UFOs aren't a theory anymore - but we still don't know what they are

Entropy. Look it up.

Indeed, however AI was predictable, as are many things.

However when it comes to us or anyone else moving through the vast distances of space, unfortunately the limits of physics are not great for small squishy things (us) from going where we want. The furthest we've travelled is the moon, it takes light 1.25 seconds to get there. In comparison our closest star outside the solar system takes light 4 and a quarter years to reach. Meaning that if we could reach the speed of light, it would still take us over 4 years to get there. Not to mention all the bizarre physics paradoxes that start to happen as light speed is approached. And all the other inhibitors in space (radiation, exposure, etc)

Progress, and science fiction, and TV convince people that "live long enough and we'll get interstellar travel". It's difficult to come to terms with, but it's not necessarily a given, for us or for any other intelligent race out there. Apart from long term drones, it may simply be impossible for beings to travel far outside their own solar system.

As for detection of extra terrestrial signals, indeed, we may develop the tech to pick that up.

Entropy is the tendency to disorder over time i.e. nothing is perfect,nothing is completely predictable and systems fail over time. That doesn't change even if you are an advanced civilisation. There will be accidents and events that weren't predicted to occur.

''Meaning that if we could reach the speed of light, it would still take us over 4 years to get there'

At the speed of light you would actually get there instantly. In fact you could be anywhere in the universe as distance and time for you would no longer exist.

If approaching very close to the speed of light you would experience a very short lapse of time.

It's the outside observers who age the 4 years not you in your spaceship who may age just a few days.

Nevertheless intelligent entities are 99.9999% likely to be some kind of machines so aging won't bother em so much anyway.

But that doesn't really apply to my argument. Nor does it make any sense given that the point I'm addressing is that aliens are supposed to be advanced and able to overcome any physics that might lessen the chances of them appearing on Earth.

Nor does it address the fact that if alien craft were failing at the rate being claimed, then they are failing at a higher rate than our airliners.

I get the feeling this was just an attempt to handwave the issue with a buzzword and technobabble.

Yes, but then I explained how just blurting the word "entropy" doesn't actually mean you've addressed the point.

Firstly, the premise is that aliens can defy physics. UFO believers are constantly telling us that the speed of light and other issues aren't problems because aliens can solve it with their magic hyper advanced technology. If that's the case, then it's the case for entropy as well. If that isn't the case, and they aren't able to overcome entropy, then you similarly cannot declare that they cannot ignore other physics. Can't have it both ways.

Secondly, the issue I raised wasn't that such an event might happen, it's that it's happening at a high frequency.

If all these alien crashes are to be believed, then they are crashing at a higher rate than airliners. This doesn't make any sense if the aliens are supposed to be hyper advanced.

Neither of these points have anything to do with entropy really.

I think you've just googled a word you think sounded scientific and you are using it without actually understanding it or how it applies to the argument you are trying to make.

I explained twice now entropy guarantees that advanced technologies will still have critical failures. In fact engineers know the more complex the system the more points of failure there could be.

You seem embarrased to accept that 'failure' and 'crashes' are simply part of the natural order of the universe.

How about accepting thats it 100% going to happen that advanced space vehicles will still have catastrophic failures at certain times and move on.

The real question is could these hyper intelligent beings with their advanced technology hide it from us when things go wrong. Probably.

Yes, but you're not actually addressing my points though.

You're just shouting "entropy".

I don't actually accept that there are hyper advanced space vehicles, so not sure why I would accept that they would be crashing at a rate greater than airliners because of some misinterpretation of how entropy works.

Also, here we run into another issue. These aliens are using their advanced technology to hide their constant, inevitable crashes, but they aren't advanced enough to turn off their running lights. Or scan something from high orbit...

Indeed, any hypothetical "alien race" that had achieved actual interstellar travel would easily have stealth capability - we wouldn't have a notion they were watching us or even here among us with our primitive technology.

Yes, but you're only invested in being a skeptic. For everything I've claimed here, I can put forward a litany of substantial information.You read it, you breeze of it, take no stock of it, as though it's not real and it never happened and you're perfectly sane, and I am not. Huh. Interesting.

You want to believe what your doing works, it's almost akin to trolling. You're fooling nobody but yourselves. Here's a prediction I'll make. You'll be getting all that evidence, and when we do, people like you will have a difficult time finding a job. Be it willful or otherwise, people with no connection to God's intelligence, will have a difficult time finding work.

The science of intelligence and frequencies of energy within our auras has been criminally suppressed by a bot army of mind control users, who waste away in their homes, with no life and no friends, and they are part of a paedo ring that has proliferated over mind control technology.

Tips hat.

I did not say "entropy isn't a core part of our universe's laws". Not sure why you are claiming I did.

I'm also not sure what you're objecting to in my post.

You just suggested that aliens would have the means and motivation to hide their constant crashes:

This leads to several contradictions. For example, if they'd go to the bother of hiding a crash using advanced, magical technology, then they'd also do something as simple and obvious as turning off their running lights. Or if they were that capable, they wouldn't need to fly around in the atmosphere in the first place.

Okay. It's worth keeping in mind this forum is a catalogue going back at least 13 or so years of hundreds of claims similar to yours. Time travel, aliens, conspiracies, doomsday, predictions, amazing technology, you'll find it all here.

So far, none of it has come true.

For example, you claim "anti-gravity" technology is real that the US has it, amazing, I'd love it that were true, but I'm used to being disappointed by the lack of credible evidence. If you have evidence, please share it.

Not even discussing stealth. Just talking about them turning off their lights at night.

The vast vast majority of sightings are basically just "lights in the sky". The aliens would be dropping their discovery rate by an order of magnitude by just flicking one switch.

If they are leaving their lights on, then they don't care about being discovered. If they don't understand that humans can see light, then they aren't very clever, or they don't understand us enough to know they need to hide from us.
