Since the universe is unknowable to the individual, believing is an integral part of consciousness. This applies to scientific consciousness in full.
But scientific belief should not contradict physics. Image
Belief in aliens is no different from religion: it is just as unscientific, because it contradicts the special theory of relativity. Image
No movement in the space of the universe can occur faster than the speed of light. This means that neither interstellar travel nor inter-civilization contacts are possible. Image
Do not hope that there will be discoveries in physics in the future that will break the ban imposed by special relativity. There are no wormholes. Warp drive is not possible. Quantum teleportation is limited to the speed of light. Image
Any movement in the space of the universe with a speed exceeding the speed of light, that is, overtaking the maximum speed of information propagation, would violate causality.
Violations of causality are impossible: everything that happens is always grounded by its prehistory. Image
A warp flying saucer would break causation. Like any religious, mystical and mythical miracle. This is why belief in aliens is no different from religion. Strictly physical, the arrival of aliens would be as miraculous as the descent of a god. Image
If you observe something that is not yet amenable to explanation, look for local, physically grounded reasons for this phenomenon that do not violate causality.
Or, if you like, believe in miracles. But, if possible, try not to call your religion a science. Image

There is probably someone who understands this, and even, probably, one of the thought leaders. Perhaps one of them even expressed this. Sorry, I'm not following. Those who know what InfToE is understand why it is generally uninteresting.⮯ Image
But, why not speak out when you are amused by people’s misunderstanding of the simple things. Judging by the fact that this is not widely discussed and therefore did not catch eye in the feed, even if one of the leaders spoke out, it did not penetrate the mass consciousness.⮯
And this is even more funny. A most fundamental, fateful circumstance, completely ignored by people whose fate is predetermined by it. As blind people, we do not see it point blank, although it simply lies on the surface.⮯

Go to twitter and you will see tweets from people who perceive the universe as an object. This inability to overcome the banal everyday worldview in oneself is especially striking when it manifests itself in quite respectable scientists (in all; others simply do not occur).
1 ➫
Yes, every day we drink a cup of coffee, hug a loved one, leave the house, look at the sky, get into a car… Everything around us is limited by its form and has its own physical content.
2 ➫
And we are used to it. We are observing all this from the outside. (Yes, we also observe ourselves, this is called consciousness.)
But guys, this is the universe. The universe is all there is. There is nothing but it. There is no "outside" for it.

Well, fair warning: this thread will blow your mind. It's time to do it. All enthusiastic cries have been heard, all the required Nobel Prizes have been received, now we can safely sit down and figure out:
*** whether gravitational waves exist ***
1 ☛
Yes, yes, I know. The theory of waves has been worked out for a long time and perfectly, all the required mathematics is known and obvious, gravitational waves absolutely correspond to it, all the great predictions have come true exactly, what else is there to talk about.
2 ☛
But since we decided to kill a little time, let's ask ourselves again, as in our youth, a simple question that tormented everyone who turned the radio knob. Why do receivers work on electromagnetic waves, but there are no receivers on magnetic or electric waves?

Earlier, we described in detail why the history of mankind ends, and determined when and how this will happen:
1 ᐅ
In short:
a) The history of mankind ends, because humanity, whatever it thinks about itself, is just an intermediate stage in the evolution of the universe, and the function of this stage is close to being fulfilled.
2 ᐅ
b) The evolutionary task of mankind was the creation of a #superperson, which, having no limitations inherent in organic life, can complicate its internal model of the universe to full knowledge, which is the creation of the universe due to its informational nature.

The idea for this thread came at the end of September-2021 after the Twitter AI for a couple of days in a row showed in trends an interview with Mo Gawdat @MGawdat about the release of his book Scary Smart: The Future of Artificial Intelligence #scarysmart.
1 ↷
The author, wise with experience of working with #AI, gave an interview to The Times @thetimes represented by Hugo Rifkind @hugorifkind.
2 ↷
The event was accompanied by enticing subtitles like “we’re creating God” and “How You Can Save Our World,” so we couldn't get past it.
(It's funny to watch from the outside the peppy process of realizing the problem, already knowing its final bleak result.)

In this thread, we will finally answer the meaningless question that has been tormenting cohorts of thinkers and dreamers for centuries, and which surprisingly finds people willing to ask it (and even answer it) among seemingly quite respectable researchers.
1 ➟
So, are there other universes?

This is a very funny question.

First, it is a classic antinomy, no less dead-end than the famous "I lie." If something has multiple instances, then don't call it a universe.
2 ➟
Secondly, the answer to this question does not solve any practical problems: since the person asking it does not understand how one universe works, one should not hope that he will understand how work many universes.
