What's important is that if it works it will continue to be controlled by the few and artificially throttled to oppress the many.

Maybe this is the breakthrough the birds are waiting for before they come and wipe our rear end?

someone who understands this poo poo figure out if you can in practice swap out whatever substation facility for an energy teleporter or not. Is it actually possible to slap one of these bad boys on a dyson-harrop and have it phone the energy to wherever it's needed without dicking around with aiming big energy emitters and receivers?

Quantum teleportation relies on exchanging classical signals in advance of the quantum teleportation. So there'd be no way to snap your fingers in space and teleport the energy to the surface. You'd have to (at minimum, I haven't read the paper) exchange an entangled pair between the surface and satellite first, for each teleportation. If you're sending particles up and down the gravity well, might as well simplify things by just beaming the energy down as microwaves.

They'd have to figure out a way to scale the thing and shape the enormous amount of negative energy required for a theoretical warp bubble. However, being able to manipulate small amounts of it in a laboratory setting would be extremely useful for experimental purposes.

Not clear exactly how scalable or practically useful such a thing would be, but it's neat.

I once saw a huge fireball in northern Michigan, was orangish as I remember, but was so bright you could see smoke trailing behind it and it made a ripping sound as it passed overhead. I recall it travelling fairly slowly, compared to others. I've seen a lot of meteors (used to count Perseids as part of the Junior Astronomy club in my hometown) but that is the only one that I heard.

Apparently part of it splashed down in Grand Traverse Bay

I kinda got existed and aborted it but that was a definite breakthrough. Was bored and a little sleepy earlier and thought i might as well just do a mediation/nap. Listened to the whole thing but kinda spaced out with the energy body thing(did do the stretchings and the imagnings a couple times before this one) and I guess fell asleep after listening to a couple rounds of the "All Night Loop" one of them was kind of amplified and I thought it had woken me up but I stayed still(a little annoyed it had woken me) when suddenly my hands felt as if they were being electrocuted but no pain and I lifted them up slightly and there was no resistance to do it and looked down at them but thought to myself "no they just fell asleep no worries and laid back" and as I did i felt myself going up in the air, threw my eyes open, saw my ceiling getting closer, look to the side, saw my room from way up there angle and disappeared into the ceiling. Got existed, woke up, hands still in my hoodie pocket.

Lucid Dream or OBE I don't know, but it felt like nothing I've ever experienced.

My OBE-test for ifwhen I manage to control it will be to go down to some clothing store I'm never in nearby and see if I can identify actual clothes.

Which ones were you listening to exactly? I believe the BMV Series 4 - Theta Brainwaves was the one recommended in this thread but its split into upper, middle, lower, and holovibe and not sure which one to use? I also went back and there are a metric fuckton of BMV beats for all kinds of whacky poo poo. I saw several all night loops but the one I checked out had some dude repeating "I will have an out of body experience" the entire track and that just seems dumb and annoying.

I've only had two really weird things happen to me:

1) For a good two or three years, there were regularly voices in my house that sounded like living people I knew. They weren't there though. The sound quality was perfect, as if they were in the same room.
2) The raspberry bush in my backyard has essentially teleported multiple times. This sounds nuts, but it was planted, then disappeared for a period of time, then moved to another part of the yard at least two or three times.

Additionally, at my grandparents' house, my grandmother said there was at least one instance of what sounded like music and a party in their kitchen. When she walked to that part of the house, the sounds stopped suddenly.

I've had recurring dreams with various dead people and pets for the last few years. They always feel deeply real, but I don't think there's anything strange there, it's just depression. :yaycat:

What Doth Life?

A great, fun, quick read. My take after reading this: is parallel dimensions exist, in the Sliders sense. The 'rules' of existence, or 'constants' of science, are the same in these universes, or negligibly different such that the closest parallel dimensions can interact with each other since they speak with the same rules. A way to look at these parallel universes might be that they are similar realities where history is different.

As for some scientific pontifications: gravity could pervade all these dimensions, binding the locations of physical matter such that the Earth is 99.999999% the same in these parallel dimensions, thereby propagating the same amount of gravity through all of these parallel dimensions. The effect is that 'massive' objects in the universes are in the same spot, enabling parallel dimensionality. This effect works seamlessly up until the point that beings in parallel dimensions start loving with gravity; so a UFO we "see" might actually be the effects of a ship or other object bending space with gravity throughout parallel dimensions.

Thank you for listening.

raspberry plants love to send off shoots off and grow new stems elsewhere. they also have canes that die off every year or 2 or w/e.

Was the BMV Series 2. It has those all night loops and I made a playlist that repeats them for a couple hours after all the other stuff has played. but you're right it is annoying and probably keeps me from falling asleep. I've tried two times afterwards and I just can't fall asleep with it going.

The time previous to that post I spaced out and thought about other stuff while it played and dozed off in spite of it I think. though I also think it was one of those loops that prompted it, maybe my adhd working in favor of me for once.

the hypocenter guy put out another hour+ video on that pair of sightings that was obviously ground lights illuminating a very low cloud ceiling

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=63hQSKMA60c

for whatever reason i'm watching this whole drat video and this guy is damaging his own credibility going on about this so much. he's claiming no agenda but he's creating his own counterarguments for which he has very pat responses, while ignoring much more obvious responses that an actual adversarial voice would bring (eg. what you see in a lot of the comments on both videos). like, he argues they can't be ground lights because he's talked to "experts" that can't think of what specific light set could do that. and then like pointing out how those light shows are usually programmed, and in these videos there's that sixth light that flies in from the side, and why would a programmed light show include that??? ignoring the completely obvious counterargument that it was a malfunction and a light got stuck then released, moving back into position. this whole thing is so absurd. disappointing given he was doing some interesting pilot sighting videos before, but now i have trouble taking him seriously at all

If you look online you can find instructions for like two of them. It's frustrating since a lot of the titles don't make their purpose very clear. For instance it's not clear what's meant to be listened to awake and what's meant to play as you sleep.

Very frustrating try to find info on BMV. He names himself as Mark Vand[unsure]. Can't find anything.
