Craziest things about the Annunaki is they "wanted us to mine gold because their ozone was destroyed and the needed to hang gold particles in the air to reflect back light." but whats insane is that actually would work...

[@bryanergau6682]

Here's my problem with that....the way they capture gold is by exploiting the fact that gold is heavy, on a molecular level. So heavy gold particles floating in the atmosphere doesn't really jive.

[@notravelerreturns7903]

A few of these make more sense than what we taught in school.

[@brendanbeatty2955]

Not that I'm trying to defend the ancient alien theory (in not) but gold can be used for a ton of different applications. From top shelf microchips to radiations shields. Gold is more than just a shiny metal so of course aliens would have a use for gold.

[@myfriendsean]

+Brendan Beatty Seriously. It's non-magnectic, very malleable and conducts heat rather well

[@brendanbeatty2955]

I know right? It's more than just a decoration which is what they were implying. If I were an Alien species I'd be looking for gold wherever I could find it.

[@Xunkun]

+Brendan Beatty Then they missed a _fuckton_ of it. There's about enough gold on this planet, we can *plate the surface a meter deep.* ...................... trick is that it&'s mostly in the core. Beyond the reach of current human technology. But _surely_ such advanced aliens could have the tech to get to it, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight? But if you honestly believe aliens were here on earth--- I don't doubt they _exist,_ Fermi Paradox notwithstanding (tl;dr: "Where the fuck is everybody??"), but a solid knowledge of science lets you know how fucking huge the universe is: they're just elsewhere--- that humans weren't that smart enough to figure out modern technology and techniques (you know... the _exact same process_ that modern humans used to figure out modern technology and techniques), that you *require* an even more advanced being to teach them, be it Jesus or Xenu-- which in themselves then requires a even more complex being, if beings aren't naturally as smart as you think they can be-- then why did Jesus seem to fuck off in personal appearances as soon as the video camera was invented, and the aliens seemed to have fucked off as soon as HD became the recording standard (and apparently a lot of the epileptic/Alzheimer/seizure patients who love espressos and happen to carry camcorders everywhere have died off and stopped filming reflections and shiny clouds)? Since they missed so much gold, and had an interest in ruling us: why'd they leave? Hell, Doctor Who presents a more plausible theory: He tricked one of The Silence into ordering us to kill them all on sight. Guess they weren't so advanced after all.

[@brendanbeatty2955]

+Xuncu I wasn't implying the ancient alien theory is true ( though I would rather believe in IT then any religious theories) I was just saying that aliens (which undoubtedly exist, just most likely havnt visited us) would have a reason to want a source of gold on an uninhabitable planet unlike what the video claims.

[@alzahranihamod3433]

yeah you are right but the only problem in that theory is if the aliens doesnt know anything but than gold but there is a shit tons of materiels and other metalic components in outer space that would put gold to shame that have better effects than gold and the space has a lot of radiation s that would make most metal build resistance for it

Another one is that Aliens are humans from the future who are planetless who evolved into the beings they are now with the pale skin & huge eyes due to living only in space for so long.

For the atheists out there, stop wasting your time arguing about something you don't believe in, and to the Christians, don't waste your time arguing when you could exercise your faith instead. I personally believe in Jesus Christ as Savior of the world, but that makes no difference what any of you believe in. Go enjoy your lives instead of participating in fruitless arguments.

[@devonlovett5065]

Honestly until people can have scientific conversations without religion having a sway the world will always have this issue, religion has no place in science. All throughout history science has been hindered by religion and while I believe religion is very important to human society i also believe humanity as a species would be far more advanced without it.

The one that gets me is that how do you know that everything out of your field of sight exists. You close a door and nothing is on the other side until you see it or hear it? How do I know you actually exist or just projections from my brain.

Craig Young well we see everything on a slight delay AND we are just seeing our brain's interpretation of light, so you can't know. You might like some videos from the World Science Festival, they gather panels of scientists and a philosopher to talk about all sorts of stuff. They sometimes speak like you

What really gets me is how nothing actually exists the way we see it, that's just our brain's interpretation of light waves and such. AND we are on a like 7 microsecond delay; everything that we see happened in the past, technically. Science is kind of terrifying :D

I'm caught up between the Earth being flat, round, or hollow? To be quite honest I wouldn't be surprised to find out that I really have no idea what the correct theory is! I find out that I was lied to when I was a kid in school, about everything. "The answer is blowin' in the wind," I guess it is something like Bob Dylan said so many years ago. Truth is an elusive concept. Perspective is so different from person to person. I used to think I knew a lot. I was incorrect.

[@chrissymayhew6059]

I completely agree...u know nothing. Lol jk. I feel exactly the same way. What's beginning to bother me about my most recent concept however, is this the conclusion we are intended to come upon? That we know nothing and that the truth really doesn't exist? Also, if that is the case, then should we assume that our first assumptions were correct just because there are those that would have us believe the opposite??

I like how these theories are just dismissed as "stupid" or "unreasonable" without further argument. I mean, yes, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof, but that's why it's a theory. If there was proof, they'd be fact.

[@MrAzkhare]

+TheAmusingOddities What do you mean by "scientific theories"? If you mean "theories supported by scientists or visual proof", then Geocentrism fits the criteria, and it isn't actually true.

[@evbb]

+MrAzkhare Couldn't agree more. The one on the 'growing earth' theory really got to me personally, because they try to dismiss it by simply saying 'but plate tectonics'. What about plate Tectonics? Why are these ideas mutually exclusive? The blind dismissal of legitimate questions is every bit as bad as religious indoctrination, if not worse.

The most we believe about alien technology as a whole species is that they use magnetive technology. Perhaps that's where gold comes in handy for them. If I'm not mistaken it can conduct electricity and under specific circumstances become unconductibe. It certainly will not be pulled apart by magnets any time soon, and is easier to shape as a soft metal than copper. If they're traveling far distances by light years and using any form of teleportation then gold will stretch but hold it's shape much better than copper would.

dude shut up, a hypothesis IS a theory. By definition.

Gavlick Apthesycerski - No its not. Both are scientific terms with very clear definitions. So, please do your research before you tell me to shut up.

[@cosmonaut379]

D4l4m4r all hypothesis are theories ...

[@D4l4m4r]

Its the other way round. Every theory has been a hypothesis at some point. A theory is defined as a hypothesis that has been successfully tested on several occasions. So a theory is widely regarded as "truth" until something better comes along. Thats why the vast majority of people accept the theory of Evolution by natural selection as truth. A hypothesis, however, is just an idea how something could have worked. Until it has been succesfully tested (either by experiment or by prediction), its only a hypothesis not a theory. This is basicly what we scientist call "the scientific method" and you might wanna google that.

[@jack_the_sparrow]

Pretty much this. An even more basic distinction is that a 'theory' attempts to explain multiple occurrences, and 'hypothesis' a single occurrence.

@cherkas: Things that are not historic are not historical. And that includes everything that Gavin brought up as specific examples.

[@Richard_Nickerson]

I remember when the History Channel was all WWII and the American Revolution.

[@tyty2fly2]

SpookeyR "Things that are not historic are not historical" Your statement is false. You have it ass backwards. The statement "Things that are not historical are not historic" is true, but not the other way around like you stated. Both terms, historic and historical, refer to past events. How they differ is that historical refers to any event which happened in the past. Historic, however, refers to past events of high importance, or great significance. So all things historic are historical. But not all historical things are historic. So you were essentially saying "Things that are not important events of the past are not events of the past." Which is false because there were many past events that were of little to no importance. That being said, I assume that your intent was to state that all past events are not of high importance. To then proceed to claim that the shows 'ancient aliens, pawn stars, and storage wars' have nothing to offer its viewers of any historic (important) value. I can't speak for storage wars because I've never seen an episode. But I will tell you that in many episodes of pawn stars people have brought items, artifacts, or memorabilia to sell or pawn that were either historic or claimed to be historic. Not only is the viewer shown these items, but the viewer is informed as to why the item may be historic, the events which occurred to make it historic, as well as a lot of historical information in general. And as far as ancient aliens is concerned, the series as a whole probably contains the most historic content of any series ever produced in the history of telivision. You may disagree with the hypothesis presented in their attempts to provide answers to the many unsolved mysteries of antiquity, but that doesn't change the historic value of the events presented. For example, not coming to the same conclusion from the evidence displayed as to how the great pyramids in Giza were created does not subtract any historic value of that evidence. To say that ancient aliens contains no historic content has got to be one of the most stupid comments I have ever heard. I don't believe that any person can be both literate, and stupid enough to say that while believing it. No fucking way

[@losgryfog]

@tyty2fly2 SPOT FUCKING ON COMMENT BRO People who dismiss shows like ancient aliens, speak in double talk, like you just presented. They make the notion that ancient people were both extremely smart and extremely stupid at the same time. AA literally can be broken down into 2 halves. they are saying either what ancients were describing was A) True, exactly as it sounds. or B) called magic but really technology it literally attempts to take modern religious ideas and ground them into reality. If you call yourself a man of science and fact but don't find interest in that, you are lying to yourself.
