The box would need to be massive, like the size of a sports arena but also be sturdy enough to be tilted up at a 30 degree angle and to collapse down from that angle. The stick would need to be strong enough to hold up this box but light enough to pull it out of the way with a bunch of tanks or whatever. if the birds thing our nuke plants and weapons of mass death are interesting then just wait until we're scooting around our solar system in jalopies propelled by thermonuclear rockets

I'm not really a huge fan of the term UAP. It's not destigmatizing anything, it's semantically more accurate but only because it says even less than UFO, and it comes straight from the MIC.

it occurs to me that uap and ufo are both actually inaccurate terms because sometimes there are usos (which are also frequently ufos). how about umos or umps- unidentified moving objects/phenomena?

Inspector Hound posted:I know roughly how to make the detector, how do you make the accelerator? I recommend this guy Neptunium: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYSEC2mvFnE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2V3J9eSDOI One note iirc is that he did end up buying the emitter in the second thumbnail instead of machining it from scratch, if that matters)
I'd argue that citizen scientists can and have pushed the boundaries, and in the early days that's maybe what the whole of science was (except idk it was all rich fucks doing it back then). Is that what Neptunium is doing? No, he's basically redoing work that's ~80 years old at this point, something like that, maybe more. Just total normal guy doing it, no wild bullshit. Not breaking unity in the basement, not building a fuckin time machine, but getting out the wrenches and actually torquing down the bolts and everything and putting together advanced (to me at least) components and confirming that they do in fact operate the way they are intended to operate without blowing up the neighborhood or dumping microwave interference all over the place and that kind of stuff. I'm still annoyed that I started to get reccomends about shitvids with a thumbnail that's an ai generated furry in a space suit with the caption "is it ETHICAL to UPLIFT lifeforms?" and ofc I goddamn well know it's not going to be an even slightly interesting or half serious discussion of what the ramifications of doing that might be. Meanwhile, there's channels that get like 13 total views that have really intense analysis of scifi books from 1965 or some poo poo and a half century ago they've already laid out this entire concept so well that basically everyone needs to log the gently caress off. Well, that's the end of my rant. IMO Neptunium is p good and is a part of the for-real science youtube sphere, like how maybe Extractions & Ire is out there doing chemistry and crap. Np also has a vid on skinwalker ranch that I didn't get a chance to check out yet lol so when I have time I'm gonna get his take on that. (guess he thinks the show's bullshit designed to make a buck, p much?) Even if Np went out and literally bought every component of this machine and lego-pieced them together from instructions he found online, I feel like that's kind of a moderate to big deal for some random youtuber tbh and not something to scoff at. It's not like the prehistoric technology guy actually lives in his fuckin hut in the wild. e: I also wanna point out I think Anton might be doing youtube as his day job and if he is he has to get these vids out all the time. This must suck rear end if true. That would be a good way to make what could be a passion into a hell, and could explain why he's not firing on all cylinders on all vids. Still think some of this insane research is plausibly the beginning of extremely wild new technology. SniperWoreConverse has issued a correction as of 10:47 on Mar 27, 2024 |

SniperWoreConverse posted:I recommend this guy Neptunium: yeah lol i can’t stand isaac arthur. again it’s fine if people like it but it’s just some guy what iffing the same ten topics in a different way with no real science 90% of the time. and that content is fine but people keep talking about it as some kind of bastion of science comm. relatedly i think it’s dumb to see youtubers calling themselves “futurists” to be frank but anton is doing fine with his insane subscriber count i assure you. this doesn’t really have anything to do with how many videos he puts out, it’s been there since the beginning. his best videos are where he describes some observational astronomical phenomenon because it’s easy to grasp what’s happening from a straightforward read of the paper in a lot of vids tho he either doesn’t understand the science or is really bad at communicating it and it shows when he starts explaining something and then gives up and goes “basically…this thing happened” lol anyway i like seeing people trying to do more science outreach but i think it’s important to separate actual reported science from fantasy and way too many mix the two anyway that black hole paper is interesting but i really can’t see it as meaningfully new technology in the way you’re talking. mediaphage has issued a correction as of 11:26 on Mar 27, 2024 |

I mean like the gels getting chemically elecrowelded and whatever other crazy poo poo. Being able to reversibly anchor materials like that seems potentially pretty big & especially for producing anything related to graphene and possibly the cyber chip still. The acoustic black hole is maybe interesting in the sense of being able to manipulate things under p wild constraints but idk it's probably not as imminently relevant. The whole trope of swirling liquid metal engines being a major component of the antigravity ufo drive has been there for a while for sure tho

mediaphage posted:like ok assuming you think a ufo uses some kind of swirling metal power source it’s still just a topographical similarity the first one's just ye classick lore of ufos where you have this mysterious substance with ~quantum properties~ that are macroscopical, but the second one is more concrete, concrete enough that even i could come up with a sort of coherent plan to develop something. This wouldn't be a "chip" in the same sense that musk might mean it, it's going to be more like an integrated layering system that's not inside anyone's braincase and isn't drilled into some poor monkey's spine or anything grotesque. The first thing you need to do is categorize all your electrically conductive plate materials, and see which ones are biocompatable and under what circumstances. This is probably in literature, you don't wanna be leaking idk toxic lead into someone's rear end. The next part of this is to then go over all your gels and see which ones are biocompatable in the same way. How do they interact with living organisms, particularly mammals, especially humans. Ofc . This base level compilation of all the existing research is p much the most critical and boring part of the whole thing, and is super laborious. Ironically an "ai" would be super useful here if they didn't just hallucinate lies all the goddamn time. Then you start doing the actual experimental analysis part, which is also a two parter. You gotta confirm that the paper is real and all the gel fusion stuff exists and works the way they say it does. Then you also take the compiled info and do your own paper extending their work so that you have more comprehensive information about how these bonds bond and all this kind of poo poo. Gel abc on plate xyz with voltage 123 for time etc. Then all this poo poo again for as complicated as you want to get. Knowing this allows you to build multiple forms of complex, potentially very thin, gels on top of each other. Once you have a good grip on this, the next phase is to examine how these bonds behave in the context of a living organism. Inside and between actual tissue layers. This also involves doing a lot of work prepping these different gels and materials in sterile environments. There's a lot of steps but what you're heading towards is this: We already have the ability to print extremely thin and small electronic circuits and effectively sterilize and encapsulate them. We already have long had the ability to induce currents from external sources, you don't need to directly plug in, particularly over short distances. If you have the ability to produce these complex gel layers, you have the ability to dope them with various kinds of hormones or cells, cells taken from the patient's own body even. All of this can, at least in theory, be entirely automated using robotics that create these extremely thin layers, which a doc then oversees the implantation of. The biological "chip." Why would you plug in a loving ethernet cable into your brainstem like it's the matrix when you can have all the "serious" or "difficult" part of the so-called cyberchip completely outside of the body itself? You can instead implant a layer into the skin of Fatty McGoon's hand so when he's in his mom's basement he puts on a fingerless bluetooth glove and he's automatically jacked in and able to stumble around posting by braille. When they're not wearing this glove it's an inert part of their body indistinguishable from anything else. It's not the fully advanced cyberweb future yet. You don't want that future, it's stupid. The basic concept of the cyberchip, as i'm thinking of it, is more the question of "why would you intercept information from any part of somebody's neurology or whatever, when you could instead merely present to or accept from them?" You're literally making more work for yourself for no reason other than to make it more dangerous to everyone involved. There's a side track as well. This kind of gel bonding can work with plates, right? And it can work with some gels regardless of the direction of voltage flow, right? So why wouldn't it work with particles instead of plates? Or platelets? Why couldn't you produce a, well, medgel? You get wounded and someone can slop this crap into the injury and induct a voltage and it fuses the wound shut? Yeah if you get a complex wound like a blood vessel rupture that's not going to work outside of surgery, but what about people who have complicated injuries like muscle tears that literally have no way to be fixed, or people who have injuries that are not as serious as getting your arm shot off but more serious than a bandaid? Paramedic but not life flight? If that can be made to work it could then also be directly applied to the whole cyberchip bullshit and make it more plausible. It could at least be used to stabilize injuries and speed the body's ability to heal, if you have this gel with various medications dispersed within it and it's already literally touching the injury site, and applied to all forms of surgery.
