it seems reasonable enough to assume you can analogize time into a film strip, one frame after another spooling out at the speed things are moving in time. But 2d time probably wouldn't be a grid of timelines all in a row, and it maybe wouldn't be an arc of timelines progressing across a 2d surface either. Because those two things are the same thing i think, just rearranged.

You can try to traverse "outside" of time by scrolling back and forth remembering it or looking at the film strip or w/e.

you'd really have to sit and figure out how the gently caress cause and effect works in 2d time. Even if you're gonna be like "alright here's a fuckin emerald tablet that is inscribed with all events in all locations of time and space," having two times is wildly different than 1. Simplify it down and you can have a film strip of 60 seconds worth of the first cartoon walking down the street or w/e, the most stunning 1900s era poo poo ever perceived, and that makes enough sense, this happened and then this happened and then this happened.

But then do this with two directions of causation, traverse that.

During an appearance on the “Full Send” podcast, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson recalled a recent discussion with a Stanford professor, who, 11 years ago, was allegedly tasked by the Defense Department to investigate numerous cases of troops dying due to UFO-inflicted brain injuries.

The polarizing host of “Tucker Carlson Tonight” shared that his source, who claimed to have expertise in traumatic brain injury, studied the brains of more than 100 troops who died following such encounters. The professor also told Carlson that there are dozens of open court cases that support his claims.

“[In] a number of cases, these things have landed on military bases. ... Servicemen have approached them and they get traumatic brain injury, or they’re killed,” Carlson said on the podcast. “I’m like, why isn’t this on the front page of the New York Times? I don’t know.”

plenty of people have brought that up before, including him I think
the analogy is normally something like "if you wander onto a runway and get sucked into a jet, the jet hurt you sure but that's kinda on you too"

However, Neil Turok of the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics in Ontario reckons that these models’ reliance on ad-hoc parameters means they increasingly resemble Ptolemy’s description of the solar system. One such parameter, he says, is the brief period of rapid expansion known as inflation that can account for the universe’s large-scale uniformity. “There is this frame of mind that you explain a new phenomenon by inventing a new particle or field,” he says. “I think that may turn out to be misguided.”

Instead, Turok and his Perimeter Institute colleague Latham Boyle set out to develop a model of the universe that can explain all observable phenomena based only on the known particles and fields. They asked themselves whether there is a natural way to extend the universe beyond the Big Bang – a singularity where general relativity breaks down – and then out the other side. “We found that there was,” he says.

Hi thread,

I had an incredibly vivid dream set in a dive bar wherein Mr. Luis Elizondo was sobbing his eyes out in the background on a bar stool over the fact that some kind of governmental agency had confiscated his beloved pet duck.

Presumably I was set to meet with him, but could not, as Leslie Kean was between myself and crying Lue, explaining in an impeccable Leslie Kean voice that "He just really loved that drat duck!"

What does this mean. Please respond.

But problems aside, Turok says that the new model provides a natural candidate for dark matter. This candidate is an ultra-elusive, very massive particle called a “sterile” neutrino hypothesized to account for the finite (very small) mass of more common left-handed neutrinos

Lol that this is coming from Tucker but it sounds like his source would be Gary Nolan based on the description. I am sure that somebody will ask him (Nolan) about it the next time he does a podcast so I am looking forward to seeing what he says. If it was true that would certainly explain why they don't want disclosure.

It sounds like Tucker is describing Nolan, and it sounds like Nolan is describing Jim Penniston (and the Rendlesham incident). And Penniston is 100% verifiably full of poo poo. He said he touched the craft and decades later he remembered it downloaded a binary code into his brain, and the binary code just happened to be........ ASCII! And then you can translate the ascii code to latitude and longitude coordinates.

edit: to be clear though Nolan describes some other cases that definitely aren't Penniston. Stuff where like the orb flew through a guy's head, that sort of thing. But this game of telephone via Tucker Carlson is hopelessly scrambled beyond the point of usefulness. This is why inspecting primary sources is always the first thing to do with UFO stories.
