All due respect, but cannot we not confine general 'proof' questions to their own threads?

I'm not even going to get into how you know that aliens even exist....
But, what proof do you have that aliens are capable of this feat? Remember the key word here is proof, not speculation.

Ah, yes. Especially when the title of the tread is "Can Aliens Manipulate Time?"

Is that supposed to be convincing?

When making statements like, "Aliens can however simulate the loss of time on a local basis with humans", you'd better be able to produce a document with the seal of the President of the United States of America on it; or else, you are just going to look like someone talking out of their rectum.

Hmm, you mean to have blanket immunity against any kind of questioning?
I wouldn't be surprised if it was adopted as the new motto.

remember that the black hole at the center of our own galaxy is wide enough to fit a few million of our solar systems back to back across it.
Sorry teacher, I have to put the brakes on this one. Anything that got even close to the event horizon--not even the singularity--would be ripped apart under unimaginably strong effects of gravity.
Let's look at the gravitational effects of something far, far weaker: a neutron star. Standing on the surface of one, a 6 foot man (oh, sorry, OR woman) would be reduced to the thickness of a sheet of paper.
"all things being equal" and "cause and effect":
everything seems to have an opposing factor in the world we choose to create, so perhaps time as we see it also has its (for lack of a better term) "anti-time".

ET,
Sorry I moved past your original comments, I got distracted a bit.
I see time as one of those things we have sort of created to explain how we experience events and as such it is not really possible to alter it in any real way. The fact that we can teleport things still does not alter time but it certainly alters some major elements of science and I am sure will lead to some remarkable new discoveries.

In other words, even if you take a trip back in time with the specific intention of killing your father, so long as you know he is happily sitting in his chair when you leave him in the present, you can be sure that something will prevent you from murdering him in the past. It is as if it has already happened.
"You go back to kill your father, but you'd arrive after he'd left the room, you wouldn't find him, or you'd change your mind," said Professor Greenberger.
"You wouldn't be able to kill him because the very fact that he is alive today is going to conspire against you so that you'll never end up taking that path leads you to killing him."

Just a quick comment on that article:
Some mysterious force would prevent you from doing what you willed? So when we travel back in time we loose free will?
I am considering your words ET, and will comment on them. One small thing, yes I think our sequential sense of events is learned, so yes it could, possibly, be unlearned. But to do so would disconnect you from every other human in a way I would not wish to experience.

Grouping proven fact with speculation does not make said specualtion fact.
If number 2 is a "FACT", send me a link. I'd love to see it! I read the news everyday, but I guess somehow I missed that article.

"It's a matter of statistics, really," said Barnett. "Depending on who you talk to, the universe is 12 to 15 billion years old. Humans have only been around for 40,000 years. We really are the new kids on the block. It would just be too tough a pill to swallow to believe that nothing else has evolved in all that time and space."
The universe is indeed vast. In 1924 astronomer Edwin Hubble showed that there are galaxies beyond our own. "More than a half century later, the Hubble telescope has shown that there are at least 100 billion such galaxies," said Shostak. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is home to at least 100 billion stars.
Planets are also plentiful. Since 1995, when the first Jupiter-sized planet outside of our solar system was found, astronomers have been able to identify about 100 more planets, all of them around 300 times more massive than Earth
THE laws of physics seem to permit time travel, and with it, paradoxical situations such as the possibility that people could go back in time to prevent their own birth. But it turns out that such paradoxes may be ruled out by the weirdness inherent in laws of quantum physics.
