Our type of matter is entangled with 5 times more "dark matter" which is invisible to us.

The chances that there are living entities outside our range of perception is high.

This time it comes in a new "you have to use my method" flavor.

"Methods?  Where we're going, we don't need....methods." ~Doc Brown.

Just because phenomenon x is outside our perception it doesn't make it non-physical. If that were the case then both you and I would be non physical because of our inability to perceive the atoms of which we are made up of.

Another science fail brought to us by Arkilogue, the man who thinks things work differently before we find out how they work than after.
