How the Navy might better locate and even attempt communication with UFOs

Jack Coleman is an Oregon native with a degree in mathematics and computer and information science.

In the last 150 years, our understanding of physics has taken humanity from kerosene lanterns to LED lightbulbs.

That said, recent videos of unidentified flying objects, or what the military refers to as "unidentified aerial phenomena," challenge the assumption that our understanding of physics is fundamentally sound. On the contrary, I would suggest we need a rethinking that allows us to explain UFOs better.

To start my little theoretical experiment, choose a standard unit of measurement at a convenient scale. Next, consider a sphere’s volume when r=1. In three dimensions, the volume of a unit sphere is (4/3)pi [units^3]. Now, compare volumes of all unit spheres in three or more dimensions. Of all n-dimensional spheres, a maximal volume of (8/15)pi^2 [units^5] occurs at n=5. Physicists have observed that nature's physical properties tend to be maximized or minimized.

The following question: Why must nature exist as a three-dimensional universe when an alternative has more degrees of freedom and maximizes a physical value?

It is possible that any three-dimensional world of condensed energy (matter) is actually a "surface" in a five-dimensional reality. Consider an analogous geometry of a one-dimensional line that curves through three dimensions. To remain on this line, a point can move in only one direction or its negative.

However, it is possible at any point to move off the line in a mixture of two orthogonal directions. Also, an infinite number of lines, none of which intersect, can co-exist in three dimensions. Likewise, any location on a three-dimensional surface has two degrees of freedom off that subspace.

A five-dimensional geometry can contain an infinite number of three-dimensional subspaces, none of which share any matter. If physics uses five orthonormal coordinates, e1 through e5, as one of its first principles (ab initio), we might have a framework that admits other three-dimensional worlds (a la dark matter).

Videos of UFOs moving with disregard for contemporary laws of physics imply those laws are actually just suggestions. Take the video recently released by Jeremy Corbell, which showed a UFO splash down into the ocean. I did not see the video in the way that many others did.

First, there was no physically apparent "splash" or impact-driven displacement of water. Second, the UFO appeared to move behind the ocean, which would be expected when transitioning into another 3-space. Another expectation, if observed, would support the claim that reality has five physical dimensions. Fortunately, there's a way to test my hypothesis better.

The U.S. Navy should release video of a UAP from two perspectives at the same time: from a "head-on" angle and from a 90-degree angle. I would expect that the UFO would appear from the 90-degree angle as a thin, one-dimensional slice but as a solid object from head-on and just before vanishing.

I'd also venture that UFOs might be propagating in proximity to nuclear energy sources due to being attracted to those sources of high-energy, circularly polarized light.

Again, the Navy could and should test this hypothesis. For one, why don’t we use a variation of Morse code to attempt communication with UFOs?

Specifically via a large, shielded rectangular container with a significant, noncritical amount of radioactive material distributed lengthwise. Allow one end of the container to rotate around its z-axis but only between the x and y axes. UFOs should be able to decipher an oscillating signal into time-modulated symbols. Just an idea!

Here's the thing: This protocol seems too obvious. This idea, or something like it, must have been tried at some point over the last 70+ years.

Regardless, it's worth attempting now.
