it, because that is impossible. Ever since ufology came into existence, our peers have tried in vain to scientifically understand how such phe- nomena could occur. This failure has led to the choice of an opposite movement: the incorporation of the UFO or the paranormal phenome- non into our corpus of understanding. This prompted the creation of groups of skeptics that are just the result of this natural tendency to overlay our modern knowledge on the observations made by thou- sands of people. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary that the supernat- ural can be explained by means of traditional diagrams. Whereas it is quite understandable why the common man is not interested in illustrative diatribes, which would a priori not change anything about his daily life, it is much more astonishing that researchers oppose anti-conformism, no matter how speculative it may seem. There is no complete answer to the question “how does the uni- verse work?” We still do not have a comprehensive explanation. We can tell ourselves that the discussion will sprout several tracks. But some will hastily deny them since this is still a debate. By definition, if we contribute only part of the solution it remains incomplete. The his- tory of ufology is but a series of incomplete solutions that have obvi- ously been set aside because they do not suffice. The overall principles of absolute relativity presented in this book should bridge the gap that separates supporters and skeptics. lam a believer. I really believe in intelligence. I believe in the bright lucidity and the aptness of thoughts, remarks and finely expressed judgments of which everyone is capable, because in the end this is what it boils down to: individual consciousness does not form a pact with fame, but with the freedom to be who you are. I believe in the authentic human genius, because the kingdom of ideas is not ruled by a master but by ideals! This book includes numerous explanatory diagrams of the ideas mentioned in this introduction. A synthetic and, hopefully, inspiring vision of new ideas seemed a more respectful approach than a fastidi- ous formalist development. I have chosen to pay tribute to the busy reader and leave a personal interpretation of such figures up to you. It is preferable to open the door to the generative knowledge of other conceptions, because a discovery that is not shared is like an oasis that cannot expand. It quenches the thirst of only a few. Therefore, the texts and diagrams are complementary without always addressing the same things or addressing them in the same way. My goal is not to provide an exhaustive number of examples, but to introduce new models. It is
