gently caress

I want to say the thing thats resonated with me in this thread so far hasn’t had anything to do with aliens, it’s been the idea that our brains can access extra stuff beyond the first five senses. not sure how to put it exactly there’s been a lot of posts about it itt.

like you can see the past, because your brain captures pictures and sounds and turns it into memories. then go back and replay it.

but the future is the same thing. play back stuff that is going to happen in your mind. like a memory. then later it pretty much goes down like you already thought. and it turns into the past

this is how it works on tralfamadore

There was a paper recently selected for publication in an A+ list academic journal. However, prior to being selected, the authors, through a suggestion of this government and others, had to remove the portion of the paper which suggested the new radio signals they discovered, were actually communicating with something/someone in our solar system.

ESP, precog, limited telepathy, these all fall under multiple intelligence theory for me. almost everyone starts with a foundation, nature/nurture happen, and you end up with your strengths and weaknesses. almost everyone has some level of access to these things, but very very few in the white western world actually end up cultivating them because their systems/institutions dont support that role within their communities.

had a pretty specific bad dream last night where i dreamt that before embarking on a long drive (heading out of state today today) i looked at my car and then decided not to bother checking the tires and then had a blowout on the highway

you can see it on my sleep tracker around 6hrs in, when the blowout/impending crash woke me up heart rate spiking

actually went out packing my car today, remembered the dream, decided to look at my tires

horrible bubble on the front right sidewall. posting this from sullivan tire waiting room where they tell me i almost would have definitely had a catastrophic blowout

the aliens are trying to save me because they know that i must post, for their existence to be revealed

The search for extraterrestrial life is one of the most exciting frontiers in science. First tentative clues were identified close to Earth in the form of the unusual interstellar object `Oumuamua and Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) in the Earth's atmosphere. The recently announced "Galileo Project" ushers the new frontier of "space archaeology" in search of extraterrestrial technological relics. The lecture will feature content from my book "Extraterrestrial", as well as the textbook "Life in the Cosmos", both published in 2021. Related material was also featured in my weekly commentaries in Scientific American.

Although vaults have been observed in many eukaryotic species, a few species do not appear to have the ribonucleoprotein. These include:[19]

Arabidopsis thaliana—a small flowering plant related to cabbage and mustard.
Caenorhabditis elegans—a free-living nematode that lives in soil.
Drosophila melanogaster—a two-winged insect also known as a fruit fly.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae—a species of yeast.

These four species are model organisms for plants, nematodes, animal genetics and fungi respectively.

A MIRACLE posted:

book scanners are much faster than they used to be at least. used to take 10 seconds between scans to convert the image into the right format. so you would scan, click a few buttons, wait, turn the page while waiting, and try to time the next scan as fast as you could the instant it was available again. lol

WEH posted:

Yeah these books absolutely need to be digitized

i think i said this already but i contacted my university library asking about their rare science books digitization so my hope is they will say "sure if these people send us books we can digitize them" and then we can work together in the thread to make it happen

Naybe he'll give you more books to scan and keep in return for the files that he could probably sell for a few bucks online.

Yeah this.

the big thing i'm unsure about is if my uni library will do a scan and digitize on things not in the collection so depending on what they say about that i can hit up Svejk or email the son and ask if he can do a solid

ArianeSpace launched a Soyuz rocket from Vostochny Cosmodrome carrying 36 OneWeb satellites on Oct. 14. Looks like your friend is in California, it could very well be a fuel dump or deorbit burn exhaust from an upper stage catching sunlight from over the local horizon. It's usually done over the Pacific Ocean for logistical reasons. It's a rare sight up here in the US northeast, especially compared to what we get to see of night launches from Wallops, but I've gone down to the beach to see it a couple of times and it's pretty spectacular.
