reverse engineering of highly advanced alien technology would be akin to ancient Myans trying to reverse engineer an Intel CPU chip ... it’s not possible ...
it’s complete fantasy that the human race could make nearly instantaneous leaps into super advanced technologies and science by emulating super advanced alien technology and science if only we could be exposed to such ... technology and science growth is a process of accretion of additional knowledge and technology based on the foundation of existing knowledge and science ... technology and science growth are fundamentally an evolutionary process, with rare spurts of revolutionary advances ...

Interesting post—a couple of comments.....
The first thing “alien technology” would do is tell scientists that they had a lot to learn—and they better start tossing out the “rules” of establishment science and creating better ones.
Some whistleblowers claim there has been actual alien contact and that the aliens have helped the process along.
This guy makes that type of claim:

The other issue is how scientific revolutions actually happen.
It turns out that the “scientists” often get their inspiration from “angels” or “dreams”:

Check out this info on Isaac Newton as one example:

It may be that major scientific breakthroughs have always involved a little “help from our friends”....
