I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. There are only two things in the universe: qualia and matter.
Qualia holds matter together. Subatomic particles pop into existence and they latch onto qualia – but most of the time they don’t endure but they pop back out of existence.
Usually, when matter endures there is some pattern to it that we can figure out. But there are more patterns to the universe than we know and it is a sure bet that life forms in other galaxies (and between them) evolve into qualiadelic patterns that are simply beyond our ken.
After all, once upon a time the laws of physics, like relativity or quantum theory were beyond us. Even common sense told us the Sun revolved around the Earth. Brilliant!
Qualia has no physicality that we can measure experimentally. Certainly we can measure patterns like the hexagons in snowflakes and Fibonacci spirals in galaxies in terms of the matter that forms around them. To illustrate how limited our earthly perspective is, we have only five senses (the mind may be a sixth sense, but it is error prone).
Indeed, there may even be things on our planet (living or “dead”) that we aren’t even aware of because long ago they developed different relationships with qualia that we know nothing of.
That is my explanation of Bigfoot. Sometime ago, when we were still “brother” (we certainly shared the same ancestors) they made a decision we didn’t.
We and Bigfoot went separate ways after our ancestors began to use that sixth sense. While our human ancestors intensified our focus on matter, Bigfoot’s ancestors decided to focus on qualia.
Today, we, and the landscapes we perceive, seem like matter clothed in a sheen of qualia (color, sound, smell, texture, and taste). Bigfoot, on the other hand, sees the world as qualia with a sheen of matter. If we are more matter- bound than qualiadelic, they are more qualiadelic than material.
More qualiadelic than material – that explains why they exist and we never see them. Chameleon-like, they can shape shift and even pass through matter, and we see them only when they are sick, like the picture of the one looking very unhappy as he is running away from the photographer.
Anyway, if you can grok this, then it is an easy step to understand that aliens are unlikely visiting us in spaceships. Qualiadelic aliens are here, but they are not arriving in material spaceships.
Rather, they evolved with different qualia in different galaxies (and between them), and they can probably shape shift and move through matter too. That is why they can do the spectacular maneuvers they do that befuddle pilots and radar.
Time, space, and size may be altogether different for them than for us. They could be from many light years away, or from Mount Shast, California.
But they are here.
