How to perform Interstellar Travel


What would be the best way to travel large interstellar distances? Rather than wait for a few million years for civilization to develop suitably (and then not get a proper answer from NASA), it would be good to get an answer from the horse’s mouth itself.

Interstellar space travel methodology, as practiced by them, had been communicated by the friendly aliens themselves to one of their abductees (Alec Newald). Roughly, the idea is something like, the entire system — spaceship, the biological beings, and everything else of value — is deconstructed as information in the form of waves, and then it happily travels at the speed of light. Upon reaching the target star system, the system is reconstructed back into material form as required.

It would be interesting to look at an excerpt of Alec Newald’s conversation with the Aliens:




Coincidentally, this concept is not too far off and explored in depth in my book, ‘Beyond Space and Time’ (below):



If I was an alien traveling to the solar system, I would probably want to stop well at the outskirts, say, near the Oort cloud, and launch reconnaissance missions (in material form) from there. My attempt would be to: i) Direct the craft close to the plane of the planets, as time it so as to have close flybys near several of them, ii) Camouflage the craft as a rock/comet, to avoid undue attention and, and iii) keep away from the planet most likely to have advanced(?) life forms, and assess their capabilities from a distance.

Indeed, the characteristics of the space travel envisaged above have multiple similarities to the characteristics and behaviour of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. (Read about Harvard Professor Avi Loeb’s 18 anomalies (here), and his recent article (here) which states insights from Mauro Barbieri on the possibility of the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS having its origin in the solar system).

However, traveling at relativistic speeds by a quantum particle also shrinks the dimensions of space and time, and this opens up a world of other possibilities too. To get a glimpse into such possibilities, I invite you to have a look at my book:

Beyond Space and Time by Archit Goel

Cheers :-)
