I am saying, they're one in the same. There is evidence for UFOs traveling faster than light. It doesn't violate physics. There are warp drives in science journals, and a recent proposal that they found warp bubbles in nature, at far smaller energy scales than theorized, making faster than light probably in our life time... If we can do it, there are other aliens doing it. We're not the sharpest species in the universal toolbox. Granted, you're not going to accept anecdotal evidence from experiencers, fair enough. That doesn't mean it's not evidence. If you accept the premise that the universe is non-local, and many physicist do, then technically it isn't faster than light to go from here to the other side of the universe, but it can be done because there is no there- there. You just step through a portal. No ship required.

I suspect you're also not going to accept any evidence for psi, though there is, which is faster than light exchange of information: it's instantaneous, regardless of distance. Global conscious project may have evidence of information traveling backwards in time. It could be something else, but that something else is even harder to explain, and perhaps scarier than the woo of time travel. I agree, the understanding of how entanglement works is not there, but if the recent modeling is accurate, and wormholes explain entanglement, and from the science community these folks that model it are the best of the best, then entanglement may be less woo, but it then offers explanations for how psi works. And it's this new information is just one reason why you now have Michio Kaku saying your kids will teleport, like on star trek, instantaneous to remote places. Faster than light.

Far from settled? Maybe. There could be other explanations. It could be, like Haldane proposed, "my own suspicion is that the universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we can suppose…" which invokes woo. Which was what you were originally lamenting- the woo factor in my essay. Scientist study woo all the time, they just pick and chose which woo they can stomach.

I write about woo all the time. If you read me, you will get woo. I like thinking about it. It interests me. I have experienced it. Do I get some things wrong? Absolutely. One thing about woo, once you have experienced in a profound way, you look for woo everywhere. It drives some people nuts. Hans Berger (1873–1941), he experienced woo and it drove him to invent the EEG in order to explain the inexplicable. Scientist have been studying woo since Francis Bacon in the 1600 wrote a book studying the force of imagination affecting physical reality. He found evidence. Scientists have been arguing about it since. Dean Radin's experiment mind affecting reality is being replicated, and there is growing evidence he is right, there is something to it. There are so many studies showing statistical relevance for woo, you'd have to blind to say no evidence. Evidence, yes. Possible other explanations, okay. When I see an alternative explanation, I will consider it, maybe even write about it.
