The idea of multiple military pilots, radar operators, analysts, etc. being mistaken simultaneously in the same way over the course of extended periods of time on multiple occasions is rather concerning. Maybe they should build in a third s

Why then do you believe Mick West over those professionals?

I wonder why ideas in this field seem to be stuck with technolgy of the last century? Sending some EM signal and hoping for an answer appears somewhat ridiculus. If at all possible, you would go yourself or send an AI capable of doing som

You could solve this by compressing the helium onboard, replacing it with air filling a balloon inside. Of course this complicates matters. Another way would be to ditch gases altogether and go for containers able to hold a vacuum against a

Notably, energy conservation is a local property of spacetime. Meaning, if you can manipulate the metric, you should be able to create (or vanish) energy. Creating the warp-bubble clearly takes energy dependent only on its volume, not the

Interstellar meetings are bound to happen first with a large developmental gap. Applicable here is obviously us being the Cavedwellers, Sumerians, Azteks, Egyptians, whathaveyou. What happens? Astronauts appear as effectively gods, being l

Only, having the possibility to use such sensors isn't the same as actually using them. Most advanced sensors are exceedingly rare and consequently locally far too restricted to be useful in this context. Social hurdles apply. The mo

Wrong isn't the same as incomplete and we have a weird tendency to overlook things, we find then "obvious" afterwards. Things we do not easily perceive are such that are too fast, too small, too high energy generally and, mos

This is a category error. Even if you subscribe to the idea of violence being justified in specific cases, there is no reason in the idea "kill everybody including yourself". People arguing in favor of doomsday-weapons fail to rec

The point of the article is exactly people in the west like yourself, comparatively rich and well-educated, applying an ill-informed subjective standard of urgency? You apply a model of reality formed in the western bubble essentially and a

You are. The physical principle of using microwaves for drilling is a sound concept, the application, refitting coal plants as geothermal, is a very good idea. Predicting the future is always error-prone. Simply predicting failure is a ch
