Let's Talk Flying Saucers: How Crackpot Ideas Are Blinding Us to Reality and Leading Us to Extinction - Softcover
As the stars of the galaxy sprang into light, planets orbiting tens of thousands of them evolved life, inhabitants that developed concepts of force and motion that allowed them to reach the stars, forming a galactic community. On some of the planets, however, the development of life was interrupted by catastrophes. The inhabitants of a few of those plants never quite recovered. The new concepts they evolved to deal with the physical world were rooted in fear and based on spiritual belief. Instead of going back and addressing the questions of force and motion that would allow them to reach the stars, they devised excuses to hug the planet, claiming that the most prevalent force, gravity, was a mystical property of matter like color and hardness, which no mind could comprehend and the force that caused planets to orbit and rotate was not even a current force, but an historical force that no longer existed. Refusing to confront the reality that surrounded them, the life that evolved on these backward planets was fated to die in place, sociological curiosities, short stops on the galactic tour of failed civilizations.
Flying saucers are a metaphor for the scientific prohibition against discussing the possible while the crackpot ideas refer, not to flying saucers, but to the scientific concepts that underlie the claim that they don’t exist.
Let’s Talk Flying Saucers systematically dissects the unfounded laws, built up over the last 400 years, that ignore the basic questions of force and motion, imprisoning gravity, the most dynamic force in the universe, as a static property of matter like color and hardness and consigning the most powerful force, the force that moves the planets, to the dustbin of history.
The reason that the scientific community refuses to talk possibilities is that flying saucers fly in the face of every concept it defends as law. If flying saucers exist, then everything science is telling us is wrong, the distance to the stars, the speed limits in space, the nature of gravity as a property of matter, the straight-line motion of the planets. If we were to start talking about the possibilities of flying saucers, then we might well start asking the scientific establishment obvious questions like, on what did Newton base his proof of gravity as a property of matter or what makes the sun come up in the morning, another way to ask what makes the planet revolve on its axis.
Let’s Talk Flying Saucers examines every one of the scientific establishment’s unfounded myths, the very myths that prevent flying saucers from existing, and then presents the galaxy as it probably is, with life teeming on thousands of planets exploring every aspect of the universe our scientists, with their ancient laws, their conceptual blindness and their unwillingness to examine reality, make off-limits to us because, without concepts of the possible, we cannot engineer our future.
