Mysterious Mt. Shasta

I have read about them - they were here before we were - remnant of an ancient civilisation that has been erased from our historical teachings

Okay I tend to believe in Science Fact rather than Science Fiction, just as Cold Fusion is currently Science Fiction it does not mean it will never be possible.

So if I wanted to travel interstellar distances, why bother with hum drum warp drives, just get a spaceship with Infinite Improbability Drive.

If interstellar space travel was available, I would sign up for it. I am facinated by space, but the facts do speak for themselves.
Sorry

If you haven't been enlisted in the 2nd NASA shadow black op by now - youv'e missed the boat - sorry.
The 'facts that speak' are limited to the ones that have been revealed

No, my way of thinking is scientific. Science invents things using amounts of imagination that are limited by reality. Not limitless theories backed by no substantial fact. I'm not necessarily commenting on UFO's here, simply a direct response to your post. As far as other life forms go I'm open to the possibility of other existence somewhere in the universe on the basis of probability - certainly not that they're already here.

The way of thinking scientifically in terms of visible matter is soon to be 'old hat'. We have been limited by what we can 'see'(your reality) - there is much more.
New developments/discoveries by quantum physicists show that all visible matter is vibrating energy and 'dark matter' has content.

The wheel wasn't a great invention, what use would one wheel be?

Surely the hole in the middle and a shaft to hold two wheels were better inventions?

We've known about dark matter for some time. I don't see how this makes any difference to my post.

The reason it was named 'dark' is because they didn't know what is is - now they do

There you go Maggie showing the exception that proves the rule!

imagination = creativity = invention

Even the humble wheelbarrow would be of no use at all if someone hadn't invented the hole & the shaft.

Who invented the hole?

Someone with enough imagination and practical sense to realise that a wheel without one is of no use at all.
