as an aside of course they talk about Stanford Professor garry nolan in that article. like, i have zero doubt there's a materials scientist you could go talk to that would love to see a uap crash. but no, we're giving these materials to a loving pathologist

It's because he has invented several unique analysis methods and technologies and they had already worked with him on the havana syndrome stuff. Once you are "in" they are more likely to use you in the future instead of bringing yet another person into the circle. Plus I am sure they've had plenty of material scientists in the black programs looking over the years.

analysis of a human pathology is not remotely the same as figuring out whether a material is extraplanetary

My friend has been maintaining that we tripped some sort of nuke alert back in the 40s and that's what sparked all the ET activity. Timeline seems to match up here:

the issue with that is that sort of signal would still propagate at light speed

if ets were to come here it’s because they looked from afar and found oxygen and poo poo, not some tech development

i think this is assuming a lot of things that the subject at hand demands we do not assume

no it isn’t/doesn’t. there’s plenty of perfectly good explanations for aliens that don’t require magic sensor tech, including random parked probes that we can’t detect that have been waiting and watching, as mentioned above

D-Pad posted:

Nolan has invented several proprietary analysis machines/methods etc (that aren't specifically for human pathology)

really? what sort of description of this technology is there? because his paper that got published merely reviews basic materials analysis. and mass spec is hardly innovative analysis.

rather than partner with experts he wants to invent materials analysis from first principles and it’s stupid

none of this speaks to his bio research which is very cool and good btw

The only person I want less to be President when first contact happens than Joe Biden is Donald Trump. Either would be an absolute disaster but I guess Trump would have some real dark comedy involved we could laugh at before we get vaporized when he grabs the alienussy.

Lol if their first act to prove their benevolence was reversing Biden's aging by twenty years.

maybe theyre actually adventurous eater looking for the next thrill

The files trump took and bragged about and showed to others were about ufos. 100%

And that case is coming to a head, the leak from a court filing is inevitable.


That's probably how they knew he took stuff in the first place was his bragging. Like, some mar-a-lago member saw the ufo files and emailed a 3-times removed friend they met at a party once to brag or for confirmation and the friend still worked for the gov and was like, "whaaa?".

i’m not so sure, at least some of them were related to the president of france lol. i think he really did not like macron.

honestly i find her approach to the subject (the grey zone between cutting edge physics sci fi and pseudoscience) to be a little clickbait-y and usually a little too self-assured. and she's been going pretty far outside her supposed expertise with videos on stuff like neurodivergence and trans kids. kinda turns me off

yeah her physics videos are variable from okay to great. she likes role-playing as a physics outsider boogedy-boo though (“everyone’s mad at me for my refusal to follow the mainstream!”) and this colours a lot of her content. everything else suffers from “i have a phd so i’m good at everything” disease and her analysis of social issues and understanding whether the papers are good is, to be charitable, poor

I'm thinking more like they may not know or care what their visual system is.

no reason at all to assume they are aware of the concept of physical annihilation of the self, because the self is a human brain model.

they may be way more confused than us, honestly.

i know this is the thread where people expound mostly about sci-fi stuff but i generally feel like they’re probably going to be more like us than not should they, as a biological race, exist and come to earth
