They found out that going at supersonic speeds clocks go off in time. They got a copy of the atomic clock, took it up in a super sonic jet, went really fast for a couple of hours, and when the jet came back the two clocks were off. The one in the plane was faster then the one that stayed stationary.
Its a proven theory in physics. The speed is porportional to the time. So in esence if you went 10,000 time faster you would go 10,000 times more in the future.
With this being true, at the speed of light, you would be doing time travel, That is the speed you are going you are not really ageing but you are in space for long time, making it able to travel great distance.

.... are you absolutely certain you have your grasp of space-time and relativity correct? cos from how i interpreted your explanation, i think you have it sdrawkcab.

i'm not sure if i believe that they are among us. but i'm certainly curious aboot this. have u seen one? what do they look like?
.....
i believe they have visited, i know they have. but i'm just not sure aboot the whole idea of them living amungst us, day in and day out.

they would look, one would imagine, just like any other human.
sorry to be the trekkie here, but its good to see what we have thought up for what we would do to make contact with other races before speculating what might aliens do. ever see first contact? invisable red suits anyone?
or does anyone else remember troy and riker pretending to be vulcan like trolls? hehe.
are covert opperations and "spying" so completely out of the question? if aliens are buzzing our skies so frequently as the believers would tell us as is backed up by the circumstantial evidence of many Unidentified Flying Objects, then its a perfectly acceptable assumption that just maybe, a few may have landed rather than crashed and are carrying out their own monitoring/surveilance right this moment.
on the other hand... would we even reccognise them at all. how often does extra terrestrial life land on our planet and we dont even bat an eyelid.
you guys know mushroom spores can survive in the vaccum of space and are one of the hardest things known to man. you could nearly put a scratch in a diamond with one. with stuff like that, who needs radio to carry a message through space. what great biotechnology! we should harness it, develope it to aid telepathy and blast them off into space. the call has been made, we just need to pick up the reciever.
a far out idea for sure, but i think it's already been done.
still... i really wish i knew where i left a copy of that letter tho. no one know what i'm talking about? i was sure i had posted it at gc somewhere. if you're reading this and enthusiastic about the topic then you'd remember it.
