The discussion centers on the speculation surrounding the existence of extraterrestrials and the relationship between quantum theory and this speculation. It challenges the notion that quantum mechanics necessitates the visibility of all entities, arguing that the existence of life does not depend on being observed. The conversation also questions the necessity of aliens, suggesting that the presence of life on an alien planet does not alter the fundamental dynamics of existence. The metaphor of "dragons in the uncharted sea of space" is used to illustrate the allure of the unknown in space exploration.

This is not a serious post; I was wondering why there must be so much speculation over extraterrestrials exist or not, while they had proposed with the quantum theory on the "existence of the scrutinized" so everything MUST be seen at all times, which is only possible if life exists alongside matter, and ubiquitous.

QM does not say that everything must be seen.

Even if it did, why would aliens be necessary? I see you. You see me.
If one of us is on an alien planet that changes nothing.
 
Because in the uncharted sea of space there must be dragons.

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
