mdemone posted:the one part I still truly doubt is the "we have their bodies" part. Demon Of The Fall posted:but the guy said we had bodies as well, so its not just probes. also I wonder if it turns out to be more than one different alien.. i can believe this easily, i suspect 'bodies' is sorta flexible on what is a 'body' anyways. if they found the pnutty equivalent to data in wreckage, what would they think in the 1950s? 'weird body' Wheeee posted:reddit will truly die when they kill old.reddit.com my fav example right now of "it used to work, they broke it on purpose!". at least i can still turn off the new stuff while i yell at clouds

hell yeah im gonna keep whining about this. It's amazing how much functionality just about every major site has lost in the last 10 years. Almost every single one, alphabet's stuff, reddit, meta stuff; i am new-ish to using microsoft products anywhere close to seriously (talking about .net and whatnot) but I mean, each successive windows 10 update seems to take away functionality or further occlude advanced features. My brain wants to get conspiratorial about it, because I haven't quite figured out the "pure-strain capitalist mode of thought" rationale for intentionally breaking products that worked, when there's no lifetime cycle to abuse like, say, a household appliance or phone does, but even if that's the right angle of attack for understanding why it's happening, it's the most on its face boring conspiracy ever

'weird body' I'd guess they found what we would call non-mechanical components, and said "is this a body?" that's as far as I'll go otherwise we are talking about a hilariously amazing conspiracy to hide the single most important thing that has ever happened to the human race. von Neumann drones are one thing. alien craft that are "mechanical", okay fine, it's global news and a major change to human history. actually having physical proof of alien life is a level above that. again, it would be the single most important thing that has ever happened to humanity. secrets like that don't get kept because they can't be.

Maybe at the very outside possibility they're von neumann probes going the slow way, which just leads to questions about their power unit and propulsion. Like what could they be doing under the hood that lets them travel for thousands of years and still be able to dart around in a thick atmosphere with no resistance?

They're more likely to be auxiliary craft deployed from something bigger, like that thing about the mothership being in the ocean.

I'm still going with the Meissner effect. watch a pendulum be stopped by the expulsion of B-fields, it looks unphysical. of course this requires both a magnetic field to move around in, and also a room-temp superconducting material that is hella optimized for Meissner effect (super-low surface density OR some fancy-rear end materials)

mdemone posted:they don't get to break the law. the universe is non-local. exploit strings if you want to do that. you still can't use entangled particles with lightcones that don't touch Ok, I've skimmed a few articles about quantum entanglement now and my understanding is that if there were some means to force a quantum state in one entangled particle, the other would take the opposite state. So there is possibly a way to have faster than light communication but it would just require something that is currently considered impossible, much like ufos. Case closed!

communication is (ok … may be) possible across interstellar distances on other planes as well so you don’t need to get discouraged that entanglement is a dead end

So there is possibly a way to have faster than light communication but it would just require something that is currently considered impossible, much like ufos. if you can "force" a quantum state then you're controlling either the propagation of that state through the multiverse or the decoherence of that superposition into a single state, depending on which view you take of QM. (The entangled particle doesn't matter because it's the *same particle* just in a different spacetime location.) In either case you are able to control the fundamental nature of "local reality" for certain classes of observers. this is god-like behavior and we don't even have the language to discuss it. mdemone has issued a correction as of 22:11 on Jun 6, 2023 |

i like the idea of self replicating von neumann probes that don't phone home, it helps to simultaneously solve the 'time' dimension of the drake equation as well. representatives of long dead civilizations exploring and studying the stars over a millennia as they pack the universe with exponentially self-replicating sky trash

If it's all true, they have played us for absolute fools. Or, if the latest outburst is nonsense, they have played us for absolute fools. In either case, I guess they have played us for absolute fools.
