This shit absolutely infuriates me, because it proves these physicists are a goddamn detriment to science. Because they have no imagination at all.

NGC 7217 is ~50 light years or less, +- a lot. If they launched a probe toward us, accounting for movement in space, it could conceivably reach our solar system in ~100-150 years. That's only ~500,000km/h, and the Parker probe hit 690,000km/h.

Bonus question from me to science fiction writers:

I have been watching various videos by renowned physicists detailing in very understandable terms why we haven't and *won't meet aliens, and why interstellar travel isn't possible. I'll link to a couple at the end. My question for you, and for me, is can we write science fiction that abides by the laws of physics?

U.S. President Donald Trump said he would direct federal agencies to begin releasing government files related to aliens and unidentified flying objects. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/20/world/science-health/trump-ufo-records/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #sciencehealth #donaldtrump #barackobama #ufo #aliens #supernatural

President Obama in a new interview. "Aliens are real, but I haven't seen them."

Brian Tyler Cohen: Are aliens real?
Obama: They're real, but I haven't seen them, and they're not being kept in, what is it, Area 51?
There's no underground facility, unless there's this enormous conspiracy, and they hid it from the President of the United States.

BTC: What was the first question you wanted answered when you became President?
Obama: Where are the aliens?

Whenever I see OpenAI's Sam Altman with his pseudo-innocent glance, he always reminds me of Carter Burke from Aliens (1986), who deceived the entire spaceship crew in favor of his corporation, with the aim of getting rich by weaponizing a newly discovered intelligent lifeform.

The Fermi Paradox has been a topic of conversation for decades, but... Is it really that much of a paradox?

Some more Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps last night. We still died horribly of course, but survived longer and got to see some cool expansion content (notice the queen who never moves in the pics since we didn't even get close enough to aggro her).

Rep #ZoeLofgren (D-CA) is an effective questioner. She introduced #evidence from Smith’s investigation that #LindseyGraham under oath told Smith’s team that if somebody told #Trump that #aliens came down & stole Trump ballots, that Trump would've believed it.
Rep #DarrellIssa (R-CA) behaved outrageously, he basically ranted, never allowed #JackSmith to answer & stole extra time. #JamieRaskin tried to negate that stolen time by talking simultaneously in objection so Issa couldn’t keep testifying.

Introducing a new major character in my space opera Djindak Koorliny as well as an important setting in it, NUMA (Naarm University of Martial Arts)

(Looks like I'll have to split the profile into a few posts.)

Had a super unique #TTRPG experience tonight with an #Aliens themed one-shot.

We played in the absolute darkness. Everyone had small hand flashlights to look at our character sheets & around the game map - a space station & ship experiencing systems outages & an alien outbreak.

It replicated the feeling of our characters using flashlights to look around the ship. We even had a cool paper in a file folder to simulate an xray!

(Used the Never Stop Blowing Up system.)
