You might need to follow some of the older links (e.g. [1]) but there's a very clear and specific statement of what he's explaining: this is what he claims Bob Lazar observed at the so-called Area 51 (Groom Lake). He claims Lazar

The more I hear about these the more I'm convinced that this guy[1] was on to something. It may be that someone has become really good at this and can now make distinct shapes instead of just a glowing orb. [1] https://www.o

Disclaimer: I have no experience of this kind of thing. But I would push for a better deal, and sell. Of course, if they know that this is your plan, you obviously cannot get a better deal. So they have to think that Plan A is not to sell.

I don't think this author really understands conspiracy theorists. The gist of what he's saying is that they just have preconceived notions, and tend to reject arguments that challenge those notions. But this is a universal human

Being able to explain it in 5 minutes doesn't necessarily mean it's not complex. It really depends on how elementary the explanation is. In other words, how complex are the terms themselves in which you explained it? For instance,

This isn't a very good article. Why is there no mention of E2 visas? This is a huge category and by far the most useful for people in eligible countries, especially in the tech sector. They even mention E3, but not E2. They haven'

Would you consider -3 a number? It's certainly not a measure of quantity. A better way of thinking about it is that it's 2 things: a magnitude and a direction. Complex numbers just expand the direction into two dimensions. As long

I responded to a similar comment above with a link to what Guass called them.

That's pretty close to what Gauss said they should be called: "If ... +1, -1, and √-1 had been called direct, inverse and lateral units, instead of positive, negative, and imaginary (or impossible) units, such an obscurity would h

*complex numbers. But yes you're right. The biggest problem (at least for me) is the name. Because everyone recognizes "real" and "imaginary" as adjectives, they think that's how these words should be understoo

Still, it's a little surprising that it's the same one used in the Curiosity Rover, which launched around 9 years ago iirc. Obviously the Curiosity rover didn't use the same one as the one from 9 years before that.

I'm not sure what your point is. We all know it's a translation. I merely pointed out that it has been artificially made to look like it was scanned or photocopied, when in fact that is a special font that fakes the appearance of

Someone replied to my claim that it's a font earlier with a link to the original. It definitely is still a font, but apparently there is an original Russian document.

Look again at the document. Notice how it looks like a scanned document from decades ago, but the lines are all dead straight? Try searching for text..it's actually a font! The apparent imperfections in the letters is fake.

You could be right about those examples. But the real problem is that neither of them are particularly random. The first one is easy to guess for obvious reasons, and the second one might be a little harder, but not much. Compared to someth
