flabbins Posted February 15, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Not sure if this has been brought up before but I have a nagging problem with the abduction and missing time theory. If aliens can time travel/bend space and time to get our planet to abduct humans, why do they seem to drop abductees off somewhere else and a few hours later? If they can time travel surely they would drop them back in exactly the same spot they were abducted and at the same time? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereologist Posted February 15, 2018 #2 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I like that idea. The problem is that aliens are just like the mythical powers that be and they need to leave bread crumbs along the way. That's just how powerful groups operate. It's a universal law that cannot be violated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore it's probably because either they can't time travel/bend space or they are not here abducting people.....

Well, to be fair, the Earth is both revolving around its axis and the sun, and the sun is moving in orbit around the galactic centre, and the galaxy is moving through the universe. Even if you could somehow travel through (just) time, the Earth, etc. wouldn't exist in the exact same physical location as it was a few hours previously, so you couldn't just drop them back at the same place. Although I guess if you play pretend that aliens have magic super-light travel technology, you could pretend the aliens know enough to account for that, too. ...no wonder the Doctor has such trouble with short hops in the TARDIS. --Jaylemurph 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erno86 Posted February 16, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 16, 2018 The ability for someone or something to go back in time...is not feasible and a impossible feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You usually advocate for all sort of things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming this was happening, a logical explanation could be that travelling here takes an incredible amount of effort/energy and to warp time is not as easy as just flicking a switch. So they create a worm hole or whatever in order to get here, but then the same technology is impractical just to take someone back half an hour. Far better to just steal their womb and stop their wrist watch and put them back where they found them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
