Explanation: How far out will humanity explore? If this video's fusion of real space imagery and fictional space visualizations is on the right track, then at least the Solar System. Some of the video's wondrous sequences depict future humans drifting through the rings of Saturn, exploring Jupiter from a nearby spacecraft, and jumping off a high cliff in the low gravity of a moon of Uranus. Although no one can know the future, wandering and exploring beyond boundaries -- both physical and intellectual -- is part of the human spirit and has frequently served humanity well in the past.

Its a cool video.
As soon as we back-engineer those gravity drives Bob Lazaar worked on at Area 51 we can go anyplace.
Turns out Bob Lazar lives in Michigan, got married, keeps a low profile. His ‘explanations’ of the purported technology never made any sense, btw, fyi, imho, afaic, etc.
And it’s a must in the APoD. :’)

A deeply cool video.
Thanks
If the USA doesn’t fix the economy by eliminating most business taxes and most regulations and most government employees and departments, the whole world will be effectively socialist and before these developments can happen there will be no resources available to do them.
I have listened to every Bob Lazar interview I could find and his explanation MAKE PERFECT SENSE.
Who told you they never made any sense?
I have a Bachelors Degree in Physics- It is clear to me he has an advanced physics education, and I have never heard him say one thing that is incorrect... and I have heard him in interviews where an electrical engineer tries to play ‘gotcha” and Lazar corrects him.
I believe him 100% (SERIOUSLY!)
“All locations depicted in this short film are recreations of actual places in our solar system”.
Except for the artificial “tube” habitat at 2:13. But otherwise it’s a nice film, I just had to nitpick something. It doesn’t look like I’ll be flying on Titan any time soon anyway.
His claims make and made no sense — he offers as evidence an old phone directory and a W2, but claims to have worked at “S4” for a very short time only, before getting kicked out for helping *someone else* take photos from just off-base, while having sufficient time to familiarize himself with everything going on there.
He said that the magic ingredient for the purported ET craft was an element 115 — and that element has since been synthesized, and guess what, it isn’t stable, so there isn’t any big sample just setting around for propulsion experiments.
In short, if he actually worked there for a week (assuming there’s a ‘there’ there) either he didn’t understand a blamed thing he was told, or was told things that were not true, or he’s making up the details.
If he’s making up those details, he’s probably making up all of them. He should have stuck with doing IT and Quicken work for a whorehouse.
Yeah, it’s not the kind of place to raise your expectations, in fact it’s cold as hell.
I hated having to listen to Sagan’s line of BS, but the montage was spectacular. :’)
I don’t understand your hostility towards Lazar.
The phone book he offers as proof was AFTER the lab was asked if he worked there, and they denied that he did- when confronted with THEIR OWN phone book, they had to retract.
I have not heard of element 115 being synthesized YET they are only up to 113
Is that it? Is that your entire basis of disagreement?
I have listened to him talk, and I HAVE A BS PHYSICS EDUCATION.
I have NOT heard him make one single mistake, as far as the physics goes, and he clearly has an advanced education. You dont leanr that stuff in high school. So his education records were wiped out, but he clearly studied somewhere. (no other school has come forward and said he went there, for what that is worth)
As for no other students coming forward- I never hang around with anyone I went to college with.
I had a full-time job and did not socialize- I don’t remember the names of anyone I went to school with. But I could clearly describe the campus I went to and the cafeteria and where the bathrooms were, etc., which Lazar has also done.
Like I said- I have listened closely waiting for a mistake from him- and I have heard none.
Oh, and the element 115 he desribed does not propel the UFO’s by magic.
It is actually only used for the power generation. It is bombarded with something that kicks it up to 116 which immediately decays back to 115 and generates the enormous power as a by product, needed for the gravity amplifiers.
The power generation they seems to have gotten an idea of, but no clue about the gravity amplification (as far as he knows, from 20 years ago)
And it’s nonsense. “Bombarded by something” means energy, and his so-called information is magic, in the sense of magical thinking, rather than Clarke’s Third Law.
Neither element is stable.
Thanks to the work of chemists at Lund University in Sweden, a brand new element has taken a seat at the periodic table: Element 115, or ununpentium (Uup) as it is currently known. Ununpentium (which is sadly just the Latin/Greek for “115,” not a homage to the Intel CPU) is one of the heaviest elements ever created, extremely rare (it probably only occurs in nature a few milliseconds after a star goes supernova), and realistically won’t impact your life at all. Still, it’s a good chance to discuss how chemists create super-heavy elements — and more importantly, why.

Within less than a millisecond after its creation, the element 118 nucleus decays by emitting an alpha particle, leaving behind an isotope of element 116 with mass number 289, containing 116 protons and 173 neutrons. This daughter, element 116, is also radioactive, alpha-decaying to an isotope of element 114. The chain of successive alpha decays continues until at least element 106.
