Material proof of these phenomena is very difficult to obtain. It is true that we do not have any direct material evidence for the existence of the smallest components of the matter forming the framework of quantum mechanics. At best, we have some convincing signs. At least that is how many of us will see UFO photographs and videos. Never- theless, we have been handling this concept with ease. We entered the conceptual world to understand this matter and establish its structural relations a very long time ago. This is also what has led researchers to work out string theories by combining quanta and relativity, thus allowing us to imagine what transpires beyond an inaccessible thresh- old. In actual fact, this theory does little more than affirm the existence of small vibrations, the most intangible objects, to say the least. The tate aes ata This assertion only stresses the extent of the hypotheses compared to the certainties, and to what degree the former question the latter. Let me point out that quantum mechanics (for quantities or quanta) is restricted exclusively to the study of measurable phenomena. Unlike classical theories, it does not describe what goes on between measure- ments.‘ How much do we know about quantum mechanics? We know that the observer is an integral part of the theory! The relativist theory is specifically interested in the relations between magnitudes to explain the functioning of the universe, especially gravitation. Einstein under- stood that these were dependent on the reference system. How much do we know about general relativity? We know that the gravitational fields are space-time distortions near important masses. Take an observer, add some space-time distortions and immaterialist concep- tions are born. deductive powers is caused by its self-limiting nature. It deduces its own investigative powers by the same tool that diminishes it: logic. We need to think outside the box of our traditional thought forms and rein- troduce new data to go beyond their boundaries. That is what this book is all about. This dilemma explains why skeptics are lucid and avant-garde artists are on the right track. On one side we find an instrument — reason — on the other, a concept — transcendence. Hav- ing said that, the two can be united. However, this delicate endeavor is only destined for those who agree to set aside their anthropocentric approach to research. It is impossible to be both judge and participant without falling into the trap of preconceived judgment. As we will see, however, everything can be explained! 32 The Science of Extraterrestrials: UFOs Explained at Last * Eric Julien world itself is immaterial.
