If it is some kind of ALIENS! thing then it's really funny to me that rather than formally contact us or do things, they mostly just buzz around loving with us like we're monkeys in a zoo. Or maybe they're just on safari to our hosed up hell planet that we're creating and why would you talk to the insane monkeys down there.

Grapplejack posted:At this point it's like, what is easier to believe; that the US government has access to secret tactile holographic technology, that these are extremely hyperspecific atmospheric events that are very rare to trigger, or that there are just aliens? doing stuff like leaking phone recordings of a loving radar screen or posting public patents for future tech UFO navy ships without hitting the little “uhh this is secret do not post publicly” box is absolutely performative for the public and/or some adversary. There is a degree of manipulation of public perception with this stuff, to currently unknown ends. I hope it’s aliens or something cool but will be extremely unsurprised if the end result of the recent UFO media blitz is “lol we don’t know” or some other stupid poo poo.

D-Pad posted:One of the comments in the reddit thread is how to do that. He says it's compelling but I'm not taking the time. they plotted them in the linked paper (inexact without more points of reference) but the stars are roughly contained within a 500pc volume of space and are all G and F class which is interesting to say the least! Webb is booked for a long time if it gets into orbit successfully, but researchers have not stopped trying to figure this out. Considering they looked a large amount of sky data, having a concentration like that without it impacting any other non G or F stars between the affected stars from our point of reference seems incredibly unlikely. Also seems to rule out weird dust floating around between us and the stars in question messing up the view. Assuming they aren’t just misinterpreting data, I can’t think of and have not seen any explanation for “there’s a bunch of F and G class stars with odd dimming characteristics in a specific volume of space” beyond “ET is mining rocks/building dyson swarms/some other kind of big space tech thing” edit: if this data is right I think it handily disproves the crumbling exoplanet theory. If that were so, why is this only happening in one small area of the sky around specific kinds of stars? Also you have to remember there is a still a lot of woo woo stigma about ET and no one wants to be relegated to that section and be tarred with the quack brush. Every other alternate explanation will need to be exhausted first and they will keep looking for other data, which is good science anyways before you start going for fantastic explanations.

Good Soldier Svejk posted:the more I read about quantum behavior the less I think I could ever possibly understand it You could probably if you put your mind to it. It’s just deeply non-intuitive and a lot of the bleeding edge stuff is very up it’s own rear end in a top hat with math. That’s part of why the holographic wormhole thing is very cool. To even get to the holographic principle you have to go down a very deep mathematical rabbit hole and when you get experimental results that says it’s maybe real that’s pretty big. Most of this stuff is incredibly difficult to realize or verify with experiments. You can’t go stick a probe at a black hole event horizon or make a camera that can see poo poo down at Planck scales so instead you have to figure out weird poo poo like this experiment. Like part of the weight behind string theory is simply finding math that solves cleanly and has pretty symmetry, instead of ending in naked singularities at extreme conditions.

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.

That one seems likely based on the description. I wanna know what they shot down near Deadhorse. Cylindrical silvery object that "interfered with sensors" sounds very tic tac. It's also still fuckin insane to me that the first time NORAD ever got involved in shooting poo poo down we just start blasting unidentified objects. Just what the gently caress.

Rickshaw posted:(I've been told this in conversations / debates) that we aren't allowed to ask questions like where it all came from, why it all exists, why SO(3)xSU(2)xU(1) and not some other group, because that can't be answered empirically and physical empiricism is the only allowed epistemology. This line of reasoning drives me nuts when I’m trying to learn this poo poo and things are just dismissed out of hand and then I only get far enough to question the dismissal much later. my best example was learning Feynman diagrams and then understanding only later “hey wait a minute all this only works if you reverse arrows of time over here but then we also say that’s impossible” have to erase preconceived notions and simply follow where observation, math, and intuition lead. We already know we don’t understand how it works and some people seem extremely threatened at the prospect of just accepting much of what we think we know can easily be wrong or misleading.

SniperWoreConverse posted: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. Also the film strip feeds out differently dependent upon conditions for every observer and if you go too fast it stops. Also quantum interactions show non locality ie they do stuff outside of time. Antimatter also looks exactly like normal matter with reversed properties including their time axis, and the math involving them requires this for any of the models we’ve come up with to work. Time is weird.

gently caress You And Diebold posted:These other models are poo poo because they have to come up with some particle to make it work whereas my theory We might have accidentally detected some right handed neutrinos going backwards with a balloon/ORB in Antarctica (ANITA). Follow up experiments with the IceCube detector https://icecube.wisc.edu/news/research/2020/01/icecube-rules-out-last-standard-model-explanation-of-anita-anomalous-neutrino-events/ eliminated easy possibilities that made the observation fit with the standard model. Its very hard to detect something that only interacts with gravity or a near massless object traveling along a time reversed axis but the theory is looking pretty good so far. There’s experiments moving forward to figure out if the universe is indeed that weird and laughs at our meat brain perception of time. Copenhagen interpretation and the standard model can eat a dick. The orbs will light the way.

E Depois do Adeus posted:IMO that there are two separate psyops here working independently. One is to establish the presence of aliens as potential saviors for a subset of people who otherwise might do certain things in the face of existential catastrophic risk. The other, dumber, one, is to obscure the presence of aliens among states' actual power bases for various reasons of legitimacy and avoiding disruptions. Whoops lol we let a military 15 centuries ahead of ours establish a few undersea bases and they want nothing to do with us because we're savages who nuke each other and torture animals for sustenance, now get back to pretending to work while you pick out cheap poo poo on wish.com Hope they like old car batteries and sea cans filled with trash raining on their bases forever.

DrHub posted:Soooooo, my girlfriend works at a gold mine in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, Canada. Yesterday workers in the camp called on the radio about strange light right above them. One of them was able to take a pic before it disappeared. My girlfriend saw it along with around 10 other workers. One of them was in the RCAF for a while and said he has never seen anything like it. It seems nobody had time to take a video of it sadly. It could have been military related, but standard aircraft navigation lights will always include red on the left wing and green on the right strobing at ~90 per minute. If they didn't have any of the colored anti-collision lights then it's not following FAA/TCCA standards and is an odd one. Fun!

Sleekly posted:i hope this is good, my money is on black holes explaining everything in the end They assuredly will be tightly coupled to helping us figuring it out, assuming we ever do. It is impossible for us (and likely kind of silly) to simply build bigger and bigger accelerators to slam poo poo together at higher energy levels. Even if you build one big enough at high enough energy levels to replicate energy levels at the big bang all you do is make a black hole. All of the answers are around them and what they do. I’m hopeful we’ll get it someday. Physics spent a long rear end time up it’s own rear end in a top hat with supersymmetry and assumptions based on previous knowledge squashing lines of inquiry. Flawed Interpretations of quantum mechanics, perceptions of gravity and spacetime itself get in the way. Now though you see more and more folks that just accept what the data seems to be saying. Spacetime as we perceive it at a human scale is most assuredly not fundamental. Quantum interactions may not be fundamental. There are threads around the edges being pulled on to get the mathematical relationships unwound. If some of the things around the edge like AdS/CFT correspondence is correct, we will get closer to figuring things like gravity out by just looking closely at a quantum computing system that may be fundamentally acting as an analogue to a black hole hologram. Radars people, assuming they exist, probably figured this stuff out and are just laughing at the insane monkeys strapping themselves to chemical explosives to move around on Earth and into the atmosphere instead of making a machine that falls in the direction you want it to go.

Sleekly posted:this will sound very silly Dark Matter will probably end up either being some weird thing that’s very hard to see or interact with in any way except gravitationally or some fundamental misunderstanding on our part of what gravity even is. Dark Energy on the other hand is the part that makes you have to scratch your head and go “yeah let’s just call it quintessence maybe kind of like that magic 5th element of antiquity. It fills everything and we’ve proven you can just pull stuff out of nothing.” EDIT: Since I'm a giant fuckin nerd I actually have written part of a book that has a major premise which is basically "Magic is real and the elements of magic are electromagnetism, the weak force (radioactive decay), the strong force (what holds atoms and such together), and gravity. Wizards are people who can use "magic" which is just the ability to manipulate quintessence or the originating force of creation/destruction that gives rise to all the rest." ETs are space wizards.
