Lol, well not everyone believes it. I do, but I can understand why people would be skeptical. But no I don't believe aliens are running around on the ground getting into mischief. Our understanding of the basic laws of physics change as our knowledge increases. For example there is a pretty cool experiment happening in china, at two separate facilities named Hard X-ray Free Electron Laser (XFEL), and Shanghai Superintense Ultrafast Laser Facility (SULF).PeterC wrote: ↑Fri Jun 04, 2021 8:50 amSilicon Valley technobabble. Also not really the issue here. making a computer that can do more things is very different from going beyond basic laws of physics. The suggestion that interstellar travel is even possible is nothing more than unfounded speculation. So the aliens can do something that insanely difficult, but get caught by a few guys on mopeds hurrying back to their ship? It’s all a bit silly.
The experiment involves blasting apart empty space (Vacuum), and harvesting Virtual Particles. Since the phenomena isn't fully understood, at the current moment if the experiment allows them to pull energy (Particles), it sort of breaks the Second Law of Thermodynamics (Or appears to at first glance).

I've been watching this for a few years, I'm sort of excited to see it it works, and also a bit terrified of it working. Large amounts of anti-matter + general human tendencies.The 100 Petawatt laser might be intense enough to break the vacuum to generate large amounts of antimatter and matter. It is the intensity (watts per square centimeter) of the laser which will break the vacuum.
