They will be communicating faster than light with a technique we dont know about yet. And it will be secure communication that other aliens cannot listen in too. That’s a leap since we have no evidence that anything can go faster than light. And even if you’re right that doesn’t preclude them from detecting and communicating with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl.Of.Trumps Posted August 11, 2019 #78 Share Posted August 11, 2019 @OverSword, although most agree with you, the phenomena of quantum interactions are believed to happen 10,000 faster than the speed of light by this research group "...a team of physicists led by Juan Yin at the University of Science and Technology of China in Shanghai" link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way they could keep a galactic empire together with light speed electromagnetic communication. Which I highly suspect is why we haven't detected any. It doesnt take a genius to see that faster than light communication is possible: Interdependent Existence In our culture we treat something that exists as being isolated from the rest of the universe when it comes to doing science. Yet, independent existence is a falsehood. Everything has interdependent existence meaning that information can be acquired on distant things faster than the speed of light. Take a triangle for example: Angles of a Triangle: The three angles of a triangle do not exist in isolation from each other, they have an interdependent existence. Because of this we know that the three angles always add up to 180 degrees. If we know two angles we also know the third regardless of how far away it is, and even if enough time hasn't passed for light to travel from it to us to observe yet. Mathematic equations are full of interdependent relationships without the speed of light being a limiting factor. Okay, okay, so it takes a genius to realise that. I didnt want to blow my own trumpet. Edited August 11, 2019 by RabidMongoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing is being communicated. How would you send messages using your example? You can't. So you dont understand what I wrote? You can gain information about something by examining another thing which shares interdependent existence with it. Thats not quite the same as non-locality. But still, it means its possible to acquire information faster than the time taken for it to travel too you at light speed. Lets suppose you instruct friend A to go and have a look if a distant object is red or blue. If its red he will go home, if its blue he will turn back up at your house. Hence, from his later presence (or lack thereof) you have gained indirect information on the colour of the object without ever being in contact with it. Interdependent existence does not require any travel to have a look or travel back. Thats because the existence of a property or quality here is dependent on a property or quality existing elsewhere. Neither can exist without the other, they are the non-linear cause of each other, they share interdependent existence. Hence by examining the property or quality of the object here, you gain information on the property or quality of the other object elsewhere. That is faster than light information transfer. Think about it this way. Can you tell where in the universe you are not located? Of course you can. If you are here, you are not everywhere else. Therefore you have just indirectly acquired information about a point in the universe 100 million light years away. That information being, you are not there. You just gained that information faster than light, violating General Relativity. Edited August 11, 2019 by RabidMongoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you get the info from & what were you told about it in your made-up example? That specific example only shows that information can be acquired indirectly, your further questions on it are irrelevant. What matters is communicating using interdependent existence. It requires the application of logic and deductive reasoning to identify an interdependent existence relationship so that information can be acquired on a distant object. Lets go back to the example of your location. You use logic and deductive reasoning to figure out if you exist here then you dont exist everywhere else. Hence, you have indirectly acquired information that you dont exist at a point 100 million light years away. When it comes to constructing a FTL communication device, well I have thought about that too. And I`m not giving you my example as I will be filing the patent for it.

I did more than one example in my first post and you are choosing to focus on the first one, the one which isn't information transfer through interdependent existence. Therefore you are asking irrelevant questions. A relevant question would be on the example of information acquisition through interdependent existence.
