With the rotation of the wrist, we can give the dot of light similar physics weirdness, albeit limited to two dimensions. The point of light\u00a0<em>doesn&#8217;t<\/em> propel itself, so it doesn&#8217;t need a propulsion system. Likewise, insane speeds and accelerations are actually derived from magnified wrist rotations, and so are not nearly as insane as they seem.<\/p>\n<p>Granted, this doesn&#8217;t quite explain the anti-gravity. Gravity&#8217;s effect on light is negligible from our typical standpoint; it&#8217;s generally not until we&#8217;re studying blackholes or light across galactic distances through telescopes that gravity&#8217;s effect on light becomes measurable. Assuming UFOs are not just light, it seems they&#8217;d still have to contend with gravity. Still, maybe whatever is &#8220;projecting&#8221; them provides the force needed to hold them aloft.<\/p>\n<p>The analogy also breaks down dimensionally. The dot of light from a laser pointer projects\u00a0<em>onto<\/em> a wall and bounces to our eyes. Without the wall, the light would just keep travelling and disappating into space. If UFOs are projections, what are they projecting\u00a0<em>onto<\/em>? (This is also the obvious challenge of developing the sort of 3D hologram systems often seen in movies like\u00a0<em>Star Wars<\/em>. How can we seemingly get light to reflect at a specific point in empty space?) And, for that matter, how can one project actual physical matter rather than just light?<\/p>\n<p>I have no clue, I just thought it was an interesting idea.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, I&#8217;d love to know what their weird UFO things are and what exactly they&#8217;re doing out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was just randomly thinking about the strange ways in which UFOs seem to defy the laws of physics: Anti-gravity No visual propulsion system Maintain insane speeds Accelerate with insane force Observed in air and water But what if we&#8217;re taking it for granted that the UFO is a unit [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true},"categories":[262],"tags":[829],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p7gI4B-HR","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2719"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2719"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2719\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2721,"href":"https:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2719\/revisions\/2721"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2719"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2719"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wizardwalk.com\/newblather\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2719"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
