This is no longer the rock solid theory we all thought. New studies suggest it‘s roughly twice that.The universe is 13.8 billion years old

The 13.8 number is still pretty solid. Our model that places the age at this value is pretty strongly backed by a variety of measurement sources and has a lot fewer holes than the new ideas that have been put forth by Rajendra Gupta. I posted in the Physics and Astronomy thread about the Gupta study you are referring to when it hit, but the more I have read on it, the less plausible it seems. Here is a short counterpoint read on it. And another.This is no longer the rock solid theory we all thought. New studies suggest it‘s roughly twice that.The universe is 13.8 billion years old
50 years ago people were wondering how you could magically talk to people anywhere in the world remotely.I would be interested in their method to travel a few light years, let alone 10's/100's/1000's/...light years, to reach our solar system.

I didn't say it was not possible...I am interested in how it is possible.50 years ago people were wondering how you could magically talk to people anywhere in the world remotely.I would be interested in their method to travel a few light years, let alone 10's/100's/1000's/...light years, to reach our solar system.

The universe is 13.8 billion years old and it took another 4 billion or so years for our planets to form. It then took almost 4 billion years from the first single cell organism to evolve into humans. That's a third of the age of the entire universe not even accounting for the time it takes planets to form AND things had to go incredibly lucky during that 4 billion years to not wipe us out and make everything start over again.
The universe is certainly big enough for those conditions to be replicated, but I think the theory that we are the first ones or one of the few first ones in the universe is likely. We're the Sci-Fi trope ancient race of lifeforms that will end up leaving our tech all over the galaxy for later civilizations to find and fight over.
Technology uses those things.Physics and the speed of light are not technologies.50 years ago people were wondering how you could magically talk to people anywhere in the world remotely.I would be interested in their method to travel a few light years, let alone 10's/100's/1000's/...light years, to reach our solar system.

Perhaps technology can improve on the speed of light.
Kinda like, ya know, a cell phone improved on the time it takes sound to reach someone.
If the speed of sound doesn't change, why can I instantly talk to someone in China using a phone?
The speed of something is relative anyway. Relative to us right now, there are things in the universe moving faster than the speed of light.
Thanks for all that.WAT?Technology uses those things.Physics and the speed of light are not technologies.50 years ago people were wondering how you could magically talk to people anywhere in the world remotely.I would be interested in their method to travel a few light years, let alone 10's/100's/1000's/...light years, to reach our solar system.

One of the fundamental premises of relativity (a well established theory albeit incomplete) is that ALL observers, regardless of reference frame, will measure the speed of light to be exactly the same. It is measured to be a constant value. In truth, the "speed of light" is not really about light at all. It more appropriately could be called the speed of causality. Only massless things are capable of being measured at this speed and light is one of those things. This is not something that is based in technology. It is the very nature of spacetime and relativistic observation that requires this speed limit to exist. Objects with mass can not attain this speed, again regardless of who is measuring.
With regard to your comment about sound, you can talk to someone in China nearly instantaneously because the information is transmitted via microwaves (effectively the same thing as light but outside the range our eyes can see) which travel at the speed of light, as do all forms of electromagnetic radiation. Your phone is the machine that converts the information into sound waves that your ears detect.
I do not know if you are just trolling at this point or not, but this statement is utterly FALSE and contradictory to any observational, theoretical and experimental evidence in existence.Thanks for all that.WAT?Technology uses those things.Physics and the speed of light are not technologies.50 years ago people were wondering how you could magically talk to people anywhere in the world remotely.I would be interested in their method to travel a few light years, let alone 10's/100's/1000's/...light years, to reach our solar system.

However, as I said, relative to us right now, there are things in the universe moving faster than the speed of light, for example, as the earth moves away from the sun, the light going the opposite direction is moving at the speed of light plus whatever speed we are moving away from it.
No, we probably don't make the speed of light itself faster. However, sort of like the microwaves of the phone, perhaps there is a technology that will allow things to travel faster than that relative to us.

Are you confusing this with the idea that space itself is capable of expanding at a rate faster than light? That is a different notion than the speed of anything traveling through space.
ETA...I suppose I should add this...light that is moving away from you is never detectable by you and thus cannot be measured by you.
I am going to leave this video here. It goes a little beyond just the question of the speed of light by exploring the bigger idea of special relativity, but the basic idea of the speed of light being constant for all observers is covered along the way in a fairly simple and conceptual manner. I hope it sheds some light on this topic.Why does it matter if we can measure it?

No, it was going away from me.See what I did there?
This reminds me of an old Married With Children episode where little green men were stealing Al Bundys worn socks and using them for rocket fuel.I am hoping someone stages a little green man stealing an Amazon package.
I believe there are physics at play that are beyond our current understanding.

Jellyfish shaped object with tentacle type appendages and what appears to be scales/armor. Only visible on thermal imaging (not visible with night vision equipment). And appears to CHANGE heat signature during one section of the film.
There have been a few of these "jellyfish" sightings. Here is a video of a cruise ship captain describing the same thing. Her TikTok video is in the first comment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frmOlm8njCQ

That's seems pretty obviously a drone of some kind. It is the size of one of the dogs and isn't the same octopus looking shape.
Could even be a deflated mylar balloon, although the change of direction once it came in contact with the dogs is interesting.That's seems pretty obviously a drone of some kind. It is the size of one of the dogs and isn't the same octopus looking shape.

ok, but it looks identical to the thing in the film and the other film where it went into the ocean then out several minutes later. We have drones that can do that and also change heat signature?droneso you think its..... ?Creepy and weird but I don't think it is an alien

Vatican to hold press conference on aliens
Catholicism is a broad church, and it appears the Vatican is now embracing lifeforms from beyond Earth. A notice uploaded to the Holy See’s website announces that cardinals will tomorrow hold a press conference discussing how to discern between “apparitions and other supernatural phenomena”.
What would Pope Francis think? Well, one of the speakers in Friday’s alien powwow is Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernández, a close associate of the Pontifex. This will be the first time the Vatican has held an official event discussing extraterrestrial affairs since 1978, and attendees are set to hear how the Catholic Church is planning for future supernatural encounters. Perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised, though. A full decade ago, the Pope generously said that he’d baptise Martians if they asked, clarifying that he meant “green men, with a long nose and big ears, like children draw”. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Galactic Spirit?
