So it turns out UFO's are a thing.

You want a real kick? You go Bernoulli.
OR you get a ZPM (zero point module).

Glad you are 10 years out from that surgery. Some are not.

Thanks.

Avi Loeb had decided that the recovered 'item' from the Pacific could be 'alien' iron. Is theirs different from ours? New alloy of iron? Not man made and not a space rock. Hmm. Guess Avi needs more $ for his books. Don't bother to read them, bunch of hype. He thinks he has evidence of space craft as (unfortunately no pics) that travel 'slower' than the orbiting stuff in space. Yup, head of Galileo project. Like the cave guy they found in UK, try to trace his origin, decided he came from Africa (that is the Genome project origin of humanity) as he had blue eyes and dark skin which is an anomoly. Dark skin as the genetics of light skin was not found in his inner ear bone. But the analysis didn't state what other genetic traes were NOT found. Skimpy science to 'prove' a pre-assumed result.

Sorry to butt in but I was reading about how our brains are more than likely working on quantum mechanics. It’s really huge and if explored could bridge the gaps to so many unexplained phenomena.

 

[msharley]

What round for a UFO? Asking for a friend.

I'm convinced that any alien beings of advanced intelligence would take one look at us and keep on going.

You Earth people. Are so strange.

When my people get here? Yinz will be food. Or fertilizer!

My guess is that intelligent beings with interstellar travel capability are less likely using star trek style warp drive and more likely using some sort of artificial wormhole technology, or some other space folding / tunnelling technology. They've also doubtlessly mastered anti-gravity, and may be using some sort of gravity generator or gravity harnessing device as the source of their FTL mechanisms.

They're also doubtlessly a much older race than our own, with more advanced medical sciences, more advanced weapons, and more advanced communications systems. If they wanted to cause us harm, they could. No doubt wipe us out faster than we can wipe ourselves out - but probably smart enough to be the ones pulling the strings from the shadows, if they figure we have any use to them at all.

Depends on whether they land in the US or cross the border.

 

[John Sam Rayburn]

Please keep in mind that most UAP's are actually electric plasma phenomena that Scientists don't yet understand very well.

Makes good sense, but thank youtube for 1.5x...

 

[jmohme]

Quantum physics says that's not true. Nope!
Maybe other life in the Universe, I don't care, I live here.
If you can't tout UFO stuff, you can't get $$$ for space investigation - i.e. no JOB.
Do you see Ru or China worrying about UFOs? Or spending any $ on investigations? Nope.

I doubt that you see even 5% of what Russia or China spending money on.
Hell, the leaders of both of those countries look a bit off world alien to me!

That's how the world will end. Some billionaire will try to bring it close to home to mine it and evert asteroid comet movie will come true.

If it's worth 10 thousand quadrillion dollars, it'd probably be bad to bring it all home at once. You'd crash markets, spike inflation, all kinds of bad things. Better might be to stream that in over decades, maybe centuries.

But that much iron/nickel (if they're correct) can build a lot of stuff. Since it's already in space, well, if we want to build things in space (like space stations or moon bases or Mars bases or Venus sky stations or etc, etc), then that might be a source of materials to use. It'll save tons of money not having to launch those materials out of our gravity well and up into space.

 

[IXLR8]

Unless the asteroid is made out of the “unobtantium” they found in the Avatar movie, it is unlikely to be economically viable to recover.

it is just a fanciful dream to actually believe that any effort towards the recovery of any materials would be profitable. As described, the mass of the asteroid would make it impossible to move with our current technology. It sounds like we are putting too much money into the exploration of the unobtainable.

we are putting too much money into the exploration of the unobtainable. Yup, that's what the Dems do, spend our money on stupid stuff.
