You said you don't think aliens and magic should be the same category, but now argue that they'd be so advanced that, would it even be differentiable from magic

- danenania 4y agoIt would be differentiable in the same way any more advanced technology than what we have now would be. It will have been created through scientific research and engineering, just like our own technology. Not understanding how something works doesn’t make it magic.
- thefaux 4y ago> It will have been created through scientific research and engineering, just like our own technology. It seems a touch hubristic to assume that an advanced civilization with technological capabilities far exceeding our own would have used our processes and techniques to get there.
- danenania 4y agoThey’d have their own processes and techniques, but on some level they’d have to be discovering the properties of reality, then using that knowledge to create vessels that could travel between stars, slow down to visit planets, and do various other tricks that seem to defy physics as we know it (based on UAP observations). To me that’s still science and engineering even if it was done in completely different ways.
