There is no limitation on what existence can will itself to be able to do eventually through equillibreum

In order to have a functional concept of nonmaterial characteristics concerning time we need to take into account our own perceptions of things and apply them. As something moves toward or away from you it appears to grow and shrink respectively until it apparently disappears; As something speeds or slows it appears to age faster or slower. Ultimately they are following the description of space and time themselves to the letter and so I believe can be used as a proxy for identifying the truth of the "laws" (walls).
Just as we lose sight of something in the distance it is entirely possible that there is a similar occurrence in our perception of speed as well. I don't have the qualifications to get into the nitty gritty of how they correlate exactly, but the idea holds firm with observations I know of. The speed of light appears constant, but if everything is constantly moving within the universe in incalculable ways then how is it that light is the only constant? My answer is in parabolic equations, infinitely approaching a certain value but never exceeding it. Mentally bind all things to this idea for a moment then consider the perspective of consciousness as the scale it being viewed on. We can only see certain parts of it at any time, but no matter where we look on the graph or how the values change we will still see the same curve. So its not that the speed of light is insurmountable, we just misunderstand the meaning of it because we are actually moving at fluid speeds ourselves.
thought experiment. A rocket is approaching relativistic speeds and traveling toward a packet of light in front of it while an observer observers from a "fixed position".
To the observer initially light appears to be moving away from the rocket until it approaches light speed. Once it reaches that speed the rocket then appears to be in a "fixed" position relative to the packet of light.
To the rocket however, the light appears to be moving slower until it stops.
If the rocket exceeded light speed it would appear to be moving toward the rocket.
In fact, if measured from the rocket the light would literally have slowed down.
Thus the constant of the speed of light is actually entirely relative to the speed of the viewer.
UNLESS... (dundundun)
light isn't moving, a wave, a particle, or both, but a physical property of space/time that retains its position. It acts as the asymptotes of the parabola and its perceived movements are actually expressions of the scale we are "viewing the curve" with. i.e. the space(s) and time(s) being occupied while observing.
Applying this further gives the idea that the beginnings and ends we see with physical properties is actually just an inability to see its continuation in either direction. What we need to do in order to see its continuation is to zoom in more on the graph. The big picture obscuring what we all see is actually just one part of a multilayered diagram involving the nuances which make existence itself not only possible, but real and unquestionable.
If you consider the asymptote of the graph to be "the beginning" then approaching it wouldn't mean traveling to it, just changing the zoom of the graph, and reaching it would mean the cessation of observation.

I haven't addressed anything you have said about your encounter.

Then I summoned an alien and i regretted it. Now I don't feel alive anymore, and sometimes don't care if i die. I feel it would be an honor to die by the hands of a human.
After I saw the alien, I had a strange experience.

everything you posted about aliens and how you reply to others with their own opinions is obvious you believe a little too much of what you read or what YouTube videos you watch.

Makalit:
"Well guess what what you see in others is what you are yourself. If you see intelligent people who have reasons to think what they think, you are likely intelligent. If you see compassionate people everywhere, that's because it's something inside of you. You are compassionate and that's why it matters so much that you would focus on and see it in others, because it matters to you. So you are delusional not me."
Its great that you posted this along with everything else you have called me and others.
So if you see a lonely delusional troll who is like a special needs student in me is that actually what you are going by your own logic?
Makalit:
Well.. verbal communication logic would say I just showed you have.
"Verbal communication?? How can this be verbal if this is online?? You aren't making any sense." And then needing further clarification for that sentence, he will move on to the next quote. When I finally correct him, he then will say "Well why didn't you say that then?" Meanwhile not addressing the quote now that's it should have been clarified. That's why I can't re-explain myself to him. Cause verbal sometimes refer to oral spoken in some places.
The sharing of information between individuals by using speech
The Latin word verbum, meaning “word,” gives us the root verb. Words from the Latin verbum have something to do with words. A verb is a word that shows action. ... Anything verbal is made up of spoken words.
Another un-backed up remark by you in attempts to insult my intelligence..
I said knowing the true definition of verbal was "relating to or in the form of words." knowing that I was not wrong, but said it knowing that in some places it means oral and assuming inhaleexhale would potentially draw this conclusion.
That was the definition in the 1600's. Standardly it means spoken or written. Google
You write properly, interchange words like you just make up your own rules on what words mean and then insult everyone elses intellect. Me thinks:
