A Conversation about the Flying Saucer During Our Ride

Whenever my body starts to feel lighter, I always hear a soft, sweet, and clingy female voice in my ears, talking non-stop from an unknown source. On the three-dimensional virtual screen, I saw a planet appear and then rapidly vanish.

After they started the spaceship, there was nothing else for them to do, so they let the robots operate the spaceship by watching the three-dimensional virtual screen, and we began to chat.

I was curious about this spaceship, which piqued my interest in the UFO we were aboard.

"This spaceship we're on is what people on Earth often refer to as a UFO, right?"

"Yes," was the reply.

"UFOs fly very fast, right? I read in a magazine that at their fastest, they can fly at the speed of light, which is 300,000 kilometers per second. Is that true?"

"Yes, UFOs can travel at the speed of light," Suldair said, "UFOs have three spacetime states. The first is a massless excited state, where the UFO has a zero rest mass, a definite moving mass, and always moves at the speed of light. This state is actually the same as the spacetime state of light emitted naturally. The second is a quasi-excited state with minimal mass, where the UFO's mass is only about one ten-thousandth of a gram by your Earth's standards. It can hover in the air above your Earth's surface and can instantly switch to a massless excited state. The third is the normal state, where the mass transformation system inside is turned off, and it has a definite mass like ordinary objects."

"How incredible your UFOs are! What's the principle of their flight? It must be complex and profound, right?"

"The principle of UFO flight is actually quite simple, and it can be summed up in just one sentence in your language," Suldair said. "In the universe, if you reduce the mass of any object to zero, the instant it becomes massless, it will suddenly move at the speed of light. That's the principle of faster-than-light UFO travel."

The principle of UFO flight is this simple? This was far beyond my expectations. But how can we make an object's mass become zero? I think that's the real challenge.

"There are two fundamentally different modes of motion in nature: quantitative change and qualitative change. Ordinary motion is a matter of quantitative change, well described by your Earth's scientists, Newton and Galileo.

"The principles of motion for airplanes and cars that you Earthlings have mastered involve momentum, which is mass times velocity, and force, which is the change in momentum over time. Your airplanes can only fly within the Earth's atmosphere.

"However, the momentum of our UFOs is calculated as the vector speed of light minus the UFO's velocity, multiplied by the UFO's mass[1].

"Taking the derivative of this momentum with respect to time[2] four kinds of forces appear[3]. These are the four most basic forces in the universe. The force on an object is also the degree to which the object's momentum changes with time.

"The mass of the flying saucer is changing with time[4]. When the mass of the flying saucer first begins to decrease, its speed remains unchanged. When the mass of the flying saucer decreases to zero, its speed suddenly changes to the speed of light.

"The change in velocity is sudden; it can go from zero to the speed of light instantly. There are only two speeds involved: the initial velocity and the speed of light. The change in velocity isn't continuous," Norton explained.

"Our UFOs operate on a different principle of motion—qualitative change, meaning the mass of the UFO can change over time. When the mass of the UFO changes from a certain amount to zero, it doesn't need any additional force to accelerate; it will continue to move at the speed of light by inertia, unless something internally or externally changes this state of motion.

"In the universe, any object at rest relative to us is surrounded by space that moves outward at the speed of light. This movement is the fundamental reason objects have mass, with mass being a measure of the quantity of space displacement (within 4π solid angle) occurring at light speed around the object.

"If you find a way to make the light-speed movement around an object disappear, then that object becomes massless. A massless object doesn't need any additional force to move at the speed of light relative to us."

"The reason behind this is that all objects in the universe have a rest momentum - mass multiplied by the vector speed of light[5], and the rest momentum is conserved.

"When the velocity part of the rest momentum is zero[6], the mass part becomes infinite. We dislike the infinity. If the infinity that we dislike does not appear, there is another possibility - the rest mass is zero.

"You Earthlings recognize the rest energy in the theory of relativity, but you do not realize that the source of rest energy is rest momentum."

[1] Author's note: P = m(C-V). P is the momentum of the object. m is the mass of the object. V is the speed of the object. C is the vector speed of light. The direction of the vector speed of light can change. The modulus is the scalar speed of light c, and c does not change.

[2] Author's note: Their direct translation was to take the 变数 (an earlier Chinese translation of Derivatives).

[3] Author's note: F= (C-V)dm/dt+m(dC/dt –dV/dt) where d is the differential sign and t is time.

[4] Author's note: The F= (C-V)dm/dt part is the dynamic equation of the flying saucer.

[5] P_rest=m'C', where m' is the rest mass, which is different from the mass m during motion. C' is the vector speed of light in the space around an object when it is stationary. Its direction is different from the vector speed C of light around the object when it is moving at a speed V, but its modulus remains the same, both are scalar light speed c.

[6] Author's note: (C-V)=0

I seemed to understand a bit and asked, "So, your UFOs can travel at the speed of light. In the books on Earth, it's said that the distance between most stars and us is measured in light-years, which means traveling at the speed of light would still take years. How do you say it only takes a few hours to reach your planet? Are you very close to us, always hiding nearby?"

"When an object moves at the speed of light, the length of space in its direction of movement shrinks to zero," Norton's words surprised me.

Suldair added, "It's like what people on Earth say, 'Far in the sky, yet close before your eyes[1].'"

[1] Typesetter's Note: The original text is "远在天边,近在眼前", a Chinese proverb.

"When the spatial length in the direction of motion is zero, wouldn't your flying saucers not require any time to travel at the speed of light? Then why do you say it takes several hours for your flying saucers to return to your planet?"

"For instance, a flying saucer with a mass of 450 tons (the exact number is forgotten) needs time for the process of its mass decreasing from 450 tons to zero at takeoff, which is called transitioning the spacetime state. Similarly, the process of its mass returning from zero to 450 tons upon landing also requires time.

In fact, when the flying saucer is on our planet, it first uses external electrical or field energy to reduce its mass to a very minute amount, such as 0.450 grams, reaching a near-excited state. At takeoff, the flying saucer uses its own energy to reduce its mass from 0.450 grams to zero. Once its mass reaches zero, it enters an excited state and starts moving at the speed of light without needing any additional force applied.

When the flying saucer arrives at your planet, its mass is not changed back to 450 tons but to a very small amount, to save energy. This is because changing the mass of the flying saucer and transitioning to the spacetime state requires a significant amount of energy, and the flying saucer itself cannot carry too much energy.

The energy equation of the flying saucer is its mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light. From this equation, it's evident that changing the mass of the flying saucer requires a tremendous amount of energy," Norton explained.

"When there's a thin gas in front of the spacecraft, we can use the field generated by the flying saucer to transition the spacetime state of the gas, making its mass zero as well, thus preventing any interaction with our spacecraft. Two objects with zero mass can pass through each other without any interactive forces.

 This way, our spacecraft can pass through without any effect on us. Or we can use the field generated by the flying saucer to directly push the gas away. Since the nature of the field is an intangible material moving in a cylindrical spiral through space, it doesn't produce sound when it interacts with air. Both methods allow the flying saucer to fly through the air without any noise.

However, if we encounter a planet, we cannot reduce the entire planet's mass to zero or transition its entire spacetime state due to the massive amount of energy required.

We can only avoid the planet. Avoiding the planet requires changing states. If our flying saucer encounters no planets in its path, the only time required is for its mass to change to zero at takeoff. Upon reaching a planet, changing the mass from zero back to a small amount upon landing requires time, while mid-flight does not require time. The hours spent in flight are mainly for transitioning spacetime states to avoid planets."

Sudair said, "According to the theory of relativity on your planet, if we assume our planet is 50 light-years away from Earth, a flying saucer departing from our planet to yours and immediately returning would be perceived by people on both our planet and yours as taking 100 years. However, the passengers inside the flying saucer would feel the round trip only took a few hours."

"Is this true? If it is, then the people on your planet also have to wait a long time for your return. A trip to Earth wouldn't be easy," I said.

"In reality, we also need to consider the difference in the passage of time between our planet and yours; the rate at which time passes varies across different planets in the universe.

Of course, all this can be artificially altered. When the flying saucer takes off, we use an artificial field to place the surrounding space of the flying saucer into an energy field. This allows us to artificially change the spacetime around the flying saucer. Departing from this special energy field is completely different from departing from our planet. As a result, people on our planet do not have to wait for 100 years; they might only need to wait a few hours, depending on the strength of the energy field."

Suldair's words were beyond my comprehension.

"We Earthlings have also observed your flying saucers and noticed their sudden, intense acceleration. The passengers inside must experience immense forces. How do you mitigate the forces experienced by passengers inside the flying saucer? Or are your people's bodies special, capable of withstanding forces hundreds to thousands of times greater than humans can?" I asked.

"Flying saucers travel with zero or minimal mass, so the force on passengers is acceleration multiplied by mass. If the mass is zero, even with immense acceleration, the force on passengers remains zero or very minimal. With zero or nearly zero mass, the collision and friction forces with other objects are also zero or extremely minimal. This also explains why flying saucers make no sound when flying through Earth's atmosphere," the physicist Suldair explained.

I seemed to grasp some understanding and continued to ask, "How can one build a flying saucer? Or rather, how is a flying saucer built?"

"You want to return to Earth and build a flying saucer?" Willie countered, "If you build a flying saucer, you'd just hop on it and run around everywhere."

"Ha, ha," Suldair laughed, "If Brother Qian accidentally flies it near Mars and doesn't know how to return, that would be a big problem."

"Then Brother Qian might as well live on Mars," Willie said mockingly, "If he has a girlfriend on Earth, that'd be tragic for them. They could only miss each other sadly. Isn't that a common scene in their movies?"

"I don't have a girlfriend, and I don't want to go to Mars." I wanted to counter their mockery but held back.

Norton said, "How could Brother Qian alone build a flying saucer? If he grasped the principles of the flying saucer and the people of his planet believed his theory, Earthlings would crazily invest resources to develop flying saucers, just like when they developed the atomic bomb. Only then, it's possible for Earthlings to build a flying saucer."

"How much would it cost to develop a flying saucer?" I asked.

"It would cost about the same as it did to develop the atomic bomb on Earth," Norton replied.

"It's impossible. When Brother Qian returns and tells his Earth compatriots about the flying saucer, how it works, and how to build one. Ah, guess what? His Earth compatriots would say, 'Oh! Where did this madman, this lunatic come from, spouting nonsense,'" Suldair continued mockingly.

Suldair's words were harsh, but this outcome seemed most likely.

"Then your flying saucers must carry a lot of energy. What kind of energy do you use?"

"Nuclear or neutron energy can be used. Don't forget, during long-distance inertial flight, flying saucers don't need energy. Only at the start, when taking off and the mass turns to zero to transition to the spacetime state, does it require a huge amount of energy. When the flying saucer takes off from our planet, we first use external electrical energy or field energy to significantly reduce the mass of the flying saucer to a minimal amount," Norton reminded me.

"Why are your flying saucers shaped like round disks, and in which direction do they fly? What does the propulsion system of a flying saucer look like, and how does it work? Can you explain it simply?" I asked.

"Flying saucers are actually quite similar to the accelerators found on Earth. The round edges of the saucer are an annular cavity containing a stream of charged particles.

These charged particles are of the same charge and repel each other, so their density cannot be increased. By making these charged particles move rapidly in a circle, we can convert the electric field into a magnetic field, which allows us to increase the density of the charges.

The door of a small flying saucer is usually located at the bottom. If it were on the side, it would disrupt the circular flow of charged particles. Large flying saucers typically carry high-power artificial field scanning equipment that scans the saucer's shell, putting it into an excited state, and allowing personnel to enter and exit directly through the shell, generally eliminating the need for a door.

When flying at the speed of light, the direction of movement is perpendicular to the disc surface of the saucer, and it follows a right-hand screw rule. Imagine holding the saucer with your right hand; the direction of your four fingers wrapping around matches the direction of the charged particles moving inside, while your thumb points in the direction of the saucer's movement.

If the flying saucer arrives in the airspace above your Earth, in a quasi-excited state, it can fly at any speed less than the speed of light and can also be manually piloted. Its flight direction can be in any direction along the side of the saucer."

"When the flying saucer is above Earth, does it install a conventional engine like the airplanes on Earth to stir the air for flight?" I asked.

"No. Our approach is to transition the saucer from a quasi-excited state to an excited state, allowing it to move at the speed of light. However, the flight time is set to be extremely short, so after flying a very small distance, it returns to a quasi-excited state, then transitions back to an excited state and flies another small distance. The saucer continually switches between these flight states to fly. This method of flight is also controlled by computer programs or with assistance.

Flying in this manner above Earth, from the outside, the saucer can fly at any speed, exhibiting no inertia, making right-angle turns, and demonstrating extremely high maneuverability. The flight path appears very strange to Earthlings," Suldair corrected my understanding.

"What exactly powers the flying saucer? How is it able to move at the speed of light, or how does its mass become zero?" I was still trying to clarify the issue.

"The propulsion system of flying saucers fundamentally involves the transformation between electromagnetic and gravitational fields. Both uniform linear motion and accelerated motion of a charge can generate a gravitational field, adhering to two basic principles.

One is that charges in uniform linear motion produce positive and negative gravitational fields distributed on a curved surface in the opposite direction of motion.

The other is that the magnetic field generated by accelerating charges is variable. When the distribution of the magnetic field on the curved surface changes, it can generate linear gravitational and electric fields along the edge of the curve. At a certain moment, the changing magnetic field, the generated electric field, and the gravitational field are perpendicular to each other.

The gravitational field produced by moving charges is continuously distributed, while the gravitational field produced by universal gravitation is symmetrically distributed around a point. The key is how to transform the continuously distributed gravitational field into a point-symmetric gravitational field." Suldair provided me with an answer. Then, Norton told me:

"Your Earth scientist Faraday's discovery of electromagnetism, converting electricity into magnetism and vice versa, has led to the widespread use of electric power on Earth, profoundly impacting your world.

 Faraday stated that changing magnetic fields produces perpendicular electric fields. In fact, a gravitational field is also produced in another perpendicular direction. At this time, the changing magnetic field, electric field, and gravitational field are perpendicular to each other.

The principle of flying saucer flight utilizes the transformation between electromagnetic and gravitational fields. Changing electromagnetic fields can produce positive and negative gravitational fields, especially the anti-gravitational field that, when applied to an object, can reduce its mass, even to zero. Once an object's mass reaches zero, it enters an excited state and suddenly starts moving at the speed of light. This is why flying saucers can fly at the speed of light.

On Earth, electricity is widely used, whereas, on our planet, we do not use electricity but artificial field scanning. The positive and negative gravitational fields generated by changing electromagnetic fields, working under computer control, are referred to as artificial field scanning.

If Earthlings mastered the transformation between electromagnetic and gravitational fields, not only could they build light-speed flying saucers, but they could also develop artificial field scanning technology. Artificial field scanning is not just about making objects' masses reach zero to move at light speed and creating light-speed flying saucers; it has many other incredible applications.

These include large-scale cold welding in construction and industrial manufacturing, treating diseases under computer control, enabling objects to disappear instantly, establishing a global movement network, creating solar energy concentrators for cheap, clean energy, and more.

Artificial field scanning can also create many products that change time and space, manufacture virtual buildings and holographic human bodies, process information, read and store human thoughts and consciousness, and enable people to communicate directly through the brain over long distances…"

The explanations given by Norton and others were difficult for me to understand, and I decided not to ask further about flying saucers.

"So, you often pilot flying saucers to explore other planets, right?"

"Yes, we have come to your Earth many times," Norton confirmed my guess.

"You have also been a subject of our long-term observation."
