Yesterday, Mr. Guo who wished to speak up for UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) set up a challenge booth outside the North Gate, drawing a crowd of onlookers. Intern Fan Yuanzhi took the photograph.
Claiming his theory could prove that UFOs are extraterrestrial spaceships, one teacher from Peking University's Physics Department said this theory was "not worth commenting."
Yesterday morning, a man erected an advertisement board outside Peking University's West Gate, claiming he could theoretically prove the existence of UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) and challenged the physics teachers of Peking University, but by 4 PM when he packed up, no one had "accepted the challenge." A teacher from Peking University's Physics Department said such theories were not worth commenting on.
The sign was placed less than 10 meters away from Peking University's West Gate on the sidewalk, about two meters long and one meter high, with the words "UFOs deserve recognition" written on it. Two red flags hung on either side, inscribed with "A marvel of the ages, the UFO challenge." The man in front of the advertisement board called himself Guo Yingsen, 50 years old, who did not graduate from junior high school. He participated in the national college entrance examination twice in 1977 and 1978 but was not admitted. He used to be a pipeline worker at Fushun Gas Company and was laid off in 2003. He said many scholars in China have consistently denied the existence of UFOs. Since he first saw a UFO with his own eyes in August 1994, he began self-studying physics and researching UFOs. In 2000, he completed his own theory, proving that UFOs are extraterrestrial spaceships and can derive their manufacturing and flight principles from the basic theories of physics.
Guo Yingsen told the surrounding students, "Go find the teachers who study physics," "If they can refute me, I'll immediately pack up my things and leave." His advertisement board attracted many students from Peking University and passersby, but most left without saying a word. By 2 PM, only two questioners managed to communicate with Guo Yingsen. One, who claimed to be a teacher at Peking University, found it impossible to continue the conversation after just starting and had to say, "Your assumptions are too broad." Another student studying economics pointed out that Guo Yingsen made a common sense error by proving the existence of extraterrestrial spaceships before proving the existence of extraterrestrials. Guo said, "You're an amateur."
In the afternoon yesterday, a teacher engaged in theoretical physics research at Peking University's Physics College said, "There are many similar 'folk scientists,' these theories aren't even worth commenting on. Physics is rigorous and requires extensive experimental evidence; which of them has conducted experiments?" At around 4:30 PM, still not having met his "patron," Guo Yingsen packed up. He said there were too few people at the West Gate, so he would set up at the East Gate of Peking University. If that didn't work, he would go to Tsinghua University and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
