[@thephilosophicalagnostic2177]

We need a balance between hard-core skepticism and totally open gullibility. If there are strange things going on, such as at Skinwalker Ranch, by all means, investigate heavily with all the tech we have at our disposal.

[@TheBrall]

For sure! Physics professor Dr. knuth in the Sol Foundation video has the best quote on this: “Always be skeptical of two things; 1. Someone who assumes that it’s an alien craft whenever they see something strange. 2. Someone (usually a scientist) that assumes that anomalous observations are in error because they know their physics and there can be nothing anomalous.”

[@JohnMichaelGodier]

That's the whole idea, destigmatize it so it can be investigated and then let's see where the data takes us. I'd add two more good quotes in regards to hyper skepticism. The first is J. Allen Hynek's characterization of it. "It can't be, therefore it isn't". And Stanton Friedman. "Don't bother me with the facts, my mind is made up".

[@johnmcdonald-6196]

Conformity to a scientific idea, with any challenge being censored is what erodes public trust.

[@Vaeldarg]

What erodes public trust is those purposefully pushing "challenges" just for the purpose of attention-seeking/financial incentive. They're not going to admit that's what it was about, so they fund-raise off of having been (rightfully) censored. It isn't censorship, it's burden of proof. It's a lose-lose situation for science.

[@mattparker9726]

This entire discussion shoves into the light that which we all know, that military classification and compartmentalization is wrong, morally, and also counterproductive to the very organizations which sponsor it's use. Barring the most extreme examples like NBC weapons security, or active military operations where disclosure could mean soldiers loss of life, there is not reason in modern times for such security to exist.

[@JohnMichaelGodier]

It's the over classification problem. Yeah, some things need to be kept classified. Methods, technologies, names of living people and operatives, soldier movements. Of course. But footage of a missile test in 1964 of a missile that you can go see in a museum? A recipe for disappearing ink from WWI that was only declassified in the 2000's that's been commercially available from magic shops since the 1950's? Documents from the 1940's that still feature huge redactions? All of it happens.

[@Vaeldarg]

There's been a lot of attention-seeking at the heart of the conspiracy theories about the government. Fact is, there will ALWAYS be those who have an incentive to push people to not trust the government (like those selling snake oil the FDA would never approve, or shows/books about UFOs), so it won't matter even if the government was 100% transparent there will always be the narrative that they haven't actually shown everything.

[@TheBrall]

Exactly. Over classification and compartmentalization is a huge problem. This isn’t N. Korea after all.

[@user-hx4it5nu5k]

I heard from researching the military on other topics is it's basically don't fix what isn't broken attitude. It worked in the past so they continue to use that philosophy today when it comes to certain operations or tech etc. There's definitely other countries after our information and would love to know what the military is doing. So being compartmentalize is a way to stop information leaking into the wrong hands. Not saying it's right, just giving an explanation on why they operate that way.

[@deirdrewalsh4177]

I think it is tremendously important that our brightest minds engage with this subject, across all of the academic and theological spectrum. Thank you to both of these academics, but particularly Professor Nolan for the courage although his amazing career to take the road less travelled. The SOL foundation is a great step forward, the other founder David Grusch has single handedly broken through to the mainstream which is a massive achievement for this topic.

[@mikemiller7377]

My question is why Nolan proposes that these alien technologies should be shopped around to (presumably) US corporations and VCs when they are the inheritance of all mankind. This should be an open source project that allows talented people from across the planet a chance to apply alien technology to the world's problems. Otherwise it will become yet another source of global inequality.

[@myboloneyhasafirstname6764]

We can dream. But it already is a source of global inequity. To get anything accomplished may require working with a screamingly imperfect system.

[@Chasear89]

I think if the knowledge of something like this exists then yes, all of mankind deserves to know, even if it was discovered by the US, we don't have IP rights on the truth. That said, the talented people across the planet capable of applying alien technology to anything, come from countries that already back engineer most of our technologies or use corporate espionage and in most cases hold the belief that the US is the source of global inequality, making it one of the world's problems needing to be solved. In a perfect world everyone has equal access to everything and there is no inequality.... but I feel some people would use advanced technology to advance the extinction of the many citizens, such as myself, who have no control over the actions of the few in power that make those decisions.

[@zrebbesh]

Mercury is crazy dense for a solar system object at 5.427 grams per cubic centimeter. This is because it's mostly metal. Not even the infamous metal asteroid Psyche is denser. In fact there's only one object we know about that's denser. And that object? The densest thing we know about in the whole solar system is Earth, at 5.551 grams. Both of these things being the result of early collisions is very likely. Both being the same collision? Hadn't considered that, but definitely possible. Now I want to see isotope ratios. In order to have as much surface gravity as Earth, a planet of "normal" or Mars-like density would have to have nearly one and a half times Earth's diameter. And that would make it's gravity field one and a half times as deep. You probably couldn't ever escape that planet (and the likely deeper denser atmosphere) with rockets. Not even if you launch from a powerful ground-based electric yeeter. Well, maybe you could with materials science well advanced over our own, but it would be capital-H HARD and we wouldn't expect any us-like life forms to survive the acceleration. So one Fermi hypothesis is that maybe nobody else was lucky enough in terms of planetary density and gravity field, that they could figure out how to ever leave their homeworld.

[@EinsteinsHair]

Every time they've announced the discovery of a "super Earth" I've wondered, how would anyone escape that gravity. Perhaps we are not giving them enough credit for ingenuity. They might fly a plane in circles until they reach the top of the atmosphere, and then launch a rocket from the plane. The Great Filter that I don't hear anyone addressing is that all land animals are descended from the same fish that ventured out of the water. (Not counting plants, insects, etc.) It only happened once. Most intelligences in the universe might be ocean dwellers with limited technology. How do they even make fire? But perhaps they start with crude circuits, beaten out of metal, powered by batteries, encased in some natural rubber, then powered up. Some alien intelligence might say of us that we would need a high vacuum for various technologies, and how would we create vacuums in air without access to space? But we have no problem creating good vacuums for our particle accelerators, and old vacuum tube technology.

[@zrebbesh]

@@EinsteinsHair There is one construction that could get off the surface of any planet no matter how dense, but its infrastructure and energy requirements are absolutely nuts. Essentially it involves building an orbital ring on the ground, including vacuum-filled tunnels with electromagnetic tracks, all the way around your planet. And then loading them with mass and bringing the mass up to orbital velocity on the ground. And then past orbital velocity, so they begin to lift (and slightly expand) the whole damn ring. The ring itself doesn't move relative to the local atmosphere, so no velocity drag. But the masses going around the world in the vacuum inside the tubes would have to be moving crazy fast. That construction could support its own weight without requiring massive input of power, at any altitude. You want it to hover ten feet off the ground, all the way around the world? If there are no hills in the way it can. You want to bring it up to an altitude of a couple miles, with tethers you can get maglev cars up and down to take fast trips around the planet? You can do that. You want to put up six of them, at different altitudes over the equator, with tethers from one to the next all the way up to orbital altitude, even though your gravity well is too deep to get a tether all the way to space? You can do that too. But it's hard to imagine a civilization being unified enough, and willing to devote that much energy and infrastructure, to have access to space. Admittedly it would be first class access, but seriously what kind of creature would value it enough to overcome all the politics and property disputes and be willing to devote infrastructure and energy, for a massive project that would take decades to build, when that stuff could be going to support better lives for its people on the surface?

Excellent work! To have some measure of wealth in our society, is to have access to currency or materials that one can spend at their whim. To be truly wealthy, however, is to garner influence through technology, and set planetary policy. To be anywhere in our solar system in a days’ time, that is worth more than most fortunes built here on earth. I often refer to President Eisenhower’s farewell address; we must protect against the unwarranted influence of a “scientific and technological elite” from within our military industrial complex. I do not think that this is purely a matter of greed, however. The scariest part of the entire subject of exopolitics, is that the United States was NOT the First Nation in modern times to exploit the technologies of other civilizations. It would appear that Nazi Germany beat us to that exploitation. Though the early reproduction vehicles from the late 30’s and 40’s were crude, the ability to somewhat-efficiently travel through space was worth more than any fortune on the planet at that time. If we look at what happened after conflict ended on the continent, the way that many (but not all) German scientists were absorbed into the American and Soviet military industrial complexes, how and why the extraterrestrial/exopolitical issue is handled the way it is handled seventy years later becomes very clear; access to alien technologies is administered in a top-down, fascistic way, with a very small scientific and technological elite reaping the benefits, and the rest of our planetary population left in the proverbial dark. Art imitates life, often. One of my favorite films is Star Trek’s “Wrath of Khan”. In a prequel installment, threatening to destroy our world with his private armies and weapons, Khan is placated when the militaries of our world gift to him a crude alien reproduction vehicle (not named as such in the book), to take himself and his genetically-augmented followers to colonize a new world, instead of destroying our current one. “If I cant have it, then nobody can” is a mantra of many of the truly wealthy of our time. Let us pray that these fears never come to fruition.

These guys just agreed there are non-human created vehicles - which makes the change of name from UFO to UAP derisory. The term UAP embraces natural atmospheric phenomena - and that's Not what anybody is talking about.

[@TheBrall]

The acronym UAP "Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena" replaced UFO “Unidentified Flying Object”. Using the phrase UAP is all encompassing and helps replace both UFO and USO (Unidentified Submerged Object) due to the fact that these trans medium crafts seem to move through water as easily as air and space.

[@frogisis]

You don't really hear people talk about this idea, but I think a lot of people sense it implicitly and it's potentially a big reason for some people's adamant unwillingness to consider that sometimes there could be a weird machine in the sky: if there truly are sneaky, deceptive, extremely advanced aliens active around this planet, then potentially in principle _anything could happen, or be engineered to seem to happen,_ no matter how impossibly magical or absurd or inane, because it could just be another twist of incomprehensible alien whimsy or just another layer of some superhumanly intricate psychosocial prodding of humankind for study and/or manipulation. The world becomes effectively re-enchanted out from under you, and you have to face that the world you've developed a metaphysical & spiritual grounding in as being fundamentally logical, understandable, and possessed of a literally sublimely beautiful crystalline elegance might be being technologically twisted into an epistemic fever swamp of illogic and esotericism by the hidden caprice or calculation of beings functionally not so different from the gods you've insisted couldn't possibly exist. How embarrassing! If you've long treasured majestic visions of glittering starfaring civilizations extending human dreams of the power of knowledge and cooperation across the lightyears, longing to one day meet the Vulcans or the Culture, it's hard to consider the reality you might be getting is something more like the mischievous Trelane jingling toy saucers and dummy spacemen in front of our eyes or the surreally incomprehensible colossi of _Roadside Picnic,_ but the scientifically rigorous are always among the first to say we should be ready to be surprised by things too weird for us to have imagined.

[@Sq7Arno]

It's good to consider potential negative consequences of disclosure, and to manage them. However, in all fairness, some level of attempt to quantify the harm from non-disclosure is also critically necessary. I'd love to know, for example, if anthropogenic climate change could have been averted, or drastically mitigated, if disclosure had occurred a tad more urgently. In the end, if there is something pertinent to disclose in that regard, then I'm sure history will judge those who withheld said pertinent information in the most negative light possible. Right now we can only speculate about what we're destroying, i.e. losing. Eventually the tally will be known. The value, lost or squandered, will be known.

Hello, sorry for the somewhat off topic question, but is Event Horizon planning on having Avi Loeb back on anytime soon to get a status on his research (regarding the spherules from the Pacific Ocean and his search for UAP)?

[@TheBrall]

It would be great to hear an update on that. His YT video on the Sol Foundation s Amazing! But that’s also from November 17th 2023.

[@JohnMichaelGodier]

It'll happen. The next step for the spherules is another expedition to try to recover the main mass, which I believe is already funded. For the UAP, it's a matter of collecting data with the observatory at Harvard, and building the other observatories. There was a solid test however of the Harvard observatory recently, they had a multiple sensor detection of a meteorite fall over New England and they put out a call asking if anyone visually saw it. Just a meteorite, but it proved that the systems in place are working.

[@RAZORREVOLUTION1]

57:35 Nolan says we anthropomorphise or we apply a human level of logic to things in response to John's notion that tech of non human origin, perhaps millions of years old, could be running errors and misbehaving. Well, Garry, like us, they supposedly crash, so they're not infallible, an attribute shared by humans. Taking that into consideration it could have probes here that are not acting as they should, because - ya know - they make mistakes, much like us.

[@tuomasronnberg5244]

It's also dangerous anthropomorphisation to assume that UAPs are vehicles. It is entirely possible that they are the entities themselves, whose non-terrestrial composition allows them to move in Earth's gravity well in a manner that resembles propulsion.

[@RAZORREVOLUTION1]

@@tuomasronnberg5244That could be possible, however, they have explicitly stated that a *technology* that has undergone an industrial process, i.e. an unorthodox atomically layered *material* of non-human origin, had been discovered and was being kept by certain aerospace corporations, with the goal being the back engineering of these craft. It was also stated that *occupants* and/or biologics were discovered with these craft. I suppose I can entertain your hypothesis that these are organic flying beasties, but.where are the occupants coming from? Are they riders atop them flying around our atmosphere, much like we ride horses on the ground? 🤔 😂

[@tuomasronnberg5244]

@@RAZORREVOLUTION1 I believe that UAPs have been detected, and I believe that crash landings have been reported. However, I am not yet convinced that UAPs of true alien origin have crash landed on Earth i.e. these recovered materials could be explained by secret weapons projects of other Earth nations and other such sources. There is an argument to be made that extraterrestrials are of multidimensional origin, that is, they reside at least partly outside the spacetime we are familiar with. Consider dipping your fingers in a lake and moving them around. From the fishes' point of view they behave against the known laws of nature, gliding around without using fins or muscles for swimming. Nevertheless, fingers are still entirely natural from our point of view. In a similar fashion aliens could be "dipping" into our universe from some higher dimension, which would explain the unusual flight properties of UAPs.

[@nutyyyy]

I think there's a fine line to run when it comes to anthropomorphising. For example the idea that we shouldn't apply any logic to UAP because they might be capable of what amounts to magic and their goals may be totally unknowable to us seems like a cop out. If an organism exists and created technology, then it's going to have convergent features with us. Stars are all more or less the same, and it's stands to reason that life capable of creating technology like we do would share some basic traits with us. It might be quite different in a lot of ways but you'll still be able to recognise it as intelligent life or as technology.

[@EinsteinsHair]

I've watched a lot of SETI Institute videos and interviews and talks they've given, and I don't think they will be embarrassed at all. Seth Shostak has said something to the effect that people have shown him a lot of fuzzy photos but no convincing evidence. Jill Tarter has shared her own encounter when she was in a plane with her pilot husband at night. There was something coming directly towards them, but air traffic control said there was nothing on radar. For a couple of minutes there was something very real, then a cloud they couldn't see stopped obstructing their view, and it was clearly just the moon. Why should they be embarrassed? All of the evidence they have seen is fuzzy photos and misidentification. And SETI has been ridiculed. In 1992, one of the few times the government has put up any money, NASA started a ten year search. One Senator mocked it publicly, and NASA dropped the program. They've had to rely on donations. They got Paul Allen to fund the Allen Telescope Array. Before that they had to get permission for radio telescope time. Once they got permission to put a second receiver on Arecibo. So astronomers would point it wherever they wanted, and the SETI receiver would be pointed just to the side of that. They have also done commensal searches, where they got a copy of an astronomer's raw data and did their own search for signals within it. If UAPs are real, well they are not trying to communicate, so SETI is looking for someone who will. Is there only one intelligent civilization in the galaxy?

Definitely an interesting episode, enjoyed it a lot. More of this, it’s an absolute interesting topic that gives some thought that really gives of some cool ideas. When that I said, the US government will probably never declassify this for the simple fact that if this is true, the US has guaranteed been poking and killing all around them, it’s just how the US government is. Therefore, it would be most optimal it came from other countries before, then US will be shown as a joke once again, for keeping everything away from people which goes far beyond own country interests. It’s sad, but reality is the US has always, and will always be corrupt as hell, putting themself ahead regardless of the after effects.
