Gonna be hilarious when we bury down deep enough, smaller and smaller, and discover the entire thing is a simulation, and the way we find out is a group of scientist sitting around watching what they think will be an image of the smallest possible particle slowly load, but instead it's just goatse.

It can't really be understood other than mathematically, because we can't perceive 4 spacial dimensions.

Basically it's showing you what it looks like when you perceive things in 2 dimensions and manipulate in 3 dimensions, to show that if you were a 2D entity, things would seem trippy and weird, and things would change size and location without explanation. Apply the same logic, they show what would happen if you manipulate in a 4th spacial dimension and viewed it as a 3d entity. But becuase we ARE actually 3d entities, there's no real way to represent a 4th spacial dimension the way they did in the earlier exercise. That's why it's weird and basically impossible to understand unless you understand the math (which I don't)

This reminded me of a book I read in like 2nd or 3rd grade:

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/841091.The_Boy_Who_Reversed_Himself

Kids gain the ability to transcend three dimensions and meet four dimensional aliens. It stuck with me because it sort of introduced concepts like chirality (although backwards ketchup was rendered narcotic, iirc) and the idea of having trouble trying to perceive 4d space.

What was the alien story of those dudes in like the hills of Kentucky or whatever where they claim to have had a bunch of aliens start popping up everywhere that look like owls so they started shooting but when they shot the aliens the bullets made rattling sounds like hitting metal?

It was clearly a bunch of hillbillies hosed up beyond belief on moonshine shooting at owls and instead hitting their own rickety pieces of tin equipment. But man they sold the poo poo out of it.

I think life probably does exist elsewhere. How could it not? The universe is incredibly vast, and there are a large number of planets with equivalent conditions to Earth. We don't even know if Earth is the only conditions in which life can thrive anyways.

It makes sense to think the universe is loaded with alien germs and jellyfish, sure. But in an admittedly limited sample size of one we do see that over a few hundred million years of advanced life only one species has gotten smart enough to launch satellites and invent internet porn, and it's looking a lot like getting that smart may be an evolutionary dead end. Add up how rare intelligent life is on a planet that's loaded with life plus how far apart everything is both in distance and it's point in time, and it starts to seem pretty reasonable to think that even if billions of smart aliens pop up over the lifespan of the universe there's a good chance none of them are gonna bump into each other.

Don't be ridiculous. How would quartz JO crystals even be ambulatory? ...christ.

Now, if you look at the hideous things that actually DO come out of the alien craft, simply gazing upon their corporeal forms will instantly charge YOUR JO crystals to their maximum levels instantly, however. And it is this technology that they have traveled so far to bring to humanity.
Just think of it, friends. Finally. Eons of instant JO crystal power at our fingertips, at last. Our disgustingly grotesque benefactors without name from beyond the stars, our ultimate saviors.

Not only are UFOs real but aliens are real and they come to our planet but the intergalactic non-interference accord says they are not allowed to enter Earthspace, so sometimes they send Men in Black which are humanoid robots (frankly dated technology so they don't use them much any more) and also sometimes aliens fly around in the atmosphere like joyriding or going to the zoo, even though it's a breach of the accord but who's gonna stop them the space police? yeah right those guys are useless
