Where scientists and ordinary people part company, however, is on the issue of visitation. Is ET, for whatever reason, coming here to check in on us? Ordinary people see the mounting evidence - often with there own eyes – they read the reports, watch the videos and generally accept that there is 'something going on' that they are not being told about. Scientists, on the other hand, have a severe impediment when it comes to accepting the presence of alien spacecraft in our benighted skies. Their model of physical reality emphatically precludes the feasibility of interstellar travel. If ET is, therefore, coming here to visit then everything they think they know will be proven wrong.

So who is in error? Are the ever increasing numbers of witnesses to strange aerial phenomena mistaken? Or is it the scientists with their, perhaps, fatally flawed theories who are missing the point?

The simple fact of the matter is that, if you have seen something strange in the sky or you believe that the testimony of witnesses and the burgeoning amount of photographic/video evidence to be credible then you are also going to have to accept that our scientists: our arbiters of truth, are leading us away from – and not toward – an understanding of reality which allows for travel between star systems.

That is what I am going to attempt to provide for the reader here: an understanding of reality that allows for interstellar travel. The weird thing about traveling to the stars, however, is the fact that – in order to achieve it – we have to cut out the actual 'traveling' bit. Interested? Read on.

First of all I'm going to have a look at what conventional wisdom has to say about the totality of energy/matter within the Cosmos. The first law of thermodynamics tells us that energy must be conserved - that it can be neither created nor destroyed. Now all of the energy (along with all of the matter) that, at present, comprises our Universe was created – we have been told – in one blinding flash of creation: the Big Bang. There is, however, a problem with the Big Bang theory. It was originally conceived as an explanation for why the Cosmos is expanding. The galaxies are all moving apart, it was argued, because – originally - the total mass of the Universe was wrapped up within an infinitely small, infinitely dense singularity. Fourteen billion years ago the singularity exploded and the expansion began. This expansion, it was then thought, would eventually be slowed down and then reversed by gravity. This is not happening. The expansion of the Universe is still accelerating exponentially. To account for this the theorists have postulated the concept of 'dark energy'. Now if dark energy is driving the accelerating expansion we have to ask the question: for how long has it been doing so? If the answer to this is fourteen billion years then the Big Bang need never have happened. Further to this an accelerating expansion would require, with every passing nanosecond, more and more – IE newly created - dark energy which directly contravenes the conservation law. So the conventional wisdom has got it seriously wrong and needs to be dispensed with.

Now new theories, as a rule, usually propose new laws to explain different aspects of physical reality. I am going to take an old law: the Zeroth law, and apply it in a way that was never intended by its original proponents. The Zeroth law is a sort of prequel to the laws of thermodynamics written after the fact – it goes like this: energy will always flow from a hot reservoir to a cold reservoir. Another way to express this would be to say that a hot body in a cold medium will radiate heat until the body and the medium reach thermal equilibrium. Yet another way to describe this law – the way most relevant to my version of events – goes like this: all quantum entities and systems exist at their lowest possible ground state (their lowest possible energy level) and after being disturbed (raised to a higher energy level) by some outside force or agency will always return to that ground state.

(NB there are exceptions to this that – along with other related material - I will not, for the sake of brevity, be going into here. For a full exposition of my theory please follow the link to 'Quantum Reality' provided at the end of this article. PD)

All of this is not just esoteric mumbo jumbo – it does have practical applications in the real world. Take, for instance, an old fashioned light bulb. When electricity (a stream of electrons: our 'outside force or agency') flows along the nichrome wire in the bulb the electrons give up (transfer) some of their energy to the sub-atomic particles (quantum entities) that comprise the atoms/molecules (quantum systems) that, in turn, comprise the wire. These particles now exist at a raised energy level. To return to the ground state the particles have to get rid of this excess energy. They achieve this by emitting photons (quanta of electromagnetic radiation), in the form of heat/light, and the bulb glows.

Now that we are all au fait with the Zeroth law (my apologies to those of you who were already familiar with it) we can now apply it in a way that has never been considered before – we can now apply it to the Universe as whole – as a single quantum system.
