| "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" Arthur C. Clarke To preface this, I agree with you, per our current scientific understanding, this isn't possible. That being said, we would be fools to look at our level of technology and think we could grasp everything in the universe. I'm not saying what we saw in the video is real. I just think dismissing something because it doesn't fit our understanding of reality in the current moment, is not in our best interest. Take almost any piece of advanced tech we use everyday back in time far enough, you will get a similar response. Maybe seeing an object doing this in real life gives enough information to work backwards and realize we made some mistakes. When we adjust our understanding it not only seems possible but helps explain other things we couldn't before. Maybe some other country is fucking with us, somehow, advanced hologram tech or something. Who knows, I think being skeptical, but approaching it with an open mind is the best way to go about it. |
The problem with fantastical explanations for phenomena is they are not testable or falsifiable. You also need to keep adding new fantastical explanations whenever an observation runs into the bounds of the last fantastical explanation. Once you invite in magic you need more magic to explain the other magic. It's asinine and intellectually bankrupt.
