[snip] Eric Weinstein is a Managing Director at Thiel Capital, creator of geometric unity, a unified theory in physics, and the intellectual dark web, a loose coalition of intellectuals dedicated to free thought. Hal Puthoff is former CIA, NSA and AATIP (the government's official UFO investigation program). In the 70's, he oversaw Stargate: the government's psychic spy program at Stanford Research Institute. In this conversation, we discuss the physics of UFO's, private aerospace as the keepers of fundamental science and Hal's experience with parapsychology. Please enjoy 🛸👽

The physicist Edward Witten is a string theory guru. A non-mathematician who won the Fields Medal.
SRI and Stargate had some very unfortunate ties to Scientology which in turn had disturbing interactions with Allister Crowley.
OTOH so did I...
By coinky-dinky, Luis Alvarez was an experimentalist. His unshared physics Nobel was in 1974 I think. The last unshared physics Nobel was in 1992, and most of those unshared physics Nobels in the preceding 20 years or so were awarded somewhat as lifetime achievement awards before the groundbreaking physicists died off. Among all the awards, there is just one — John Bardeen — who has won it twice (for the transistor, and for superconductivity work), each time shared with two others.

Jack Parsons was the Scientology connection with JPL. When the family watched that documentary on Scientology a few (five? more?) years back, the mention of Jack Parsons startled me.

The mention (last three minutes) and short discussion of Bob Lazar was interesting. Before you start, know that I regard Lazar as non-credible.
The book “Out There” was a journalistic deep dive into the activities of the then-current “UFO Working Group”. I *think* (not having the book right here) that he was the one brought in to give a presentation on that earlier research, then sat down to join the meeting, but was then told to leave because the activities were compartmented.

With a mind uncluttered by the facts nor burdened by any relevant training, education or experience let me comment on the nature of reality.
I’m pretty sure time is an illusion comprised of all the dimensions beyond the familiar three. We call time a fourth dimension but it is the only one forcing us to move through it. Regarding the familiar three, we can move in any direction at any speed we want. With time we can’t.
Git it. Thx for posting this!
There are now 2068 topics in the String Theory keyword. I won't be posting that list, heh, nice though, sorted, goes back to 2002 or so. Instead, here are the 47 topics of the FTL (faster than light) keyword, sorted:
My pleasure. At first I wasn’t going to, but I got more and more interested as I listened to the vid, then started to build the various postings, then just went ahead. It has gone well, none of the usual pissing and moaning the UFO topics usually receive.
I believe I read that Blum book decades ago—probably have an old paperback around here somewhere.
There was and remains a lot of confusion about what is “official” .gov vs what is just “hobbyists” who happen to work for .gov.—and whether their “hobby” is a real hobby or just a cover story for whatever agency they work for at a time.
Compartmentalization and “special access” programs combined with disinformation along with a little sprinkling on con artists and deluded crazies has created a mess—true Alice in Wonderland stuff.
Time being an illusion is also an interesting topic that pops up in philosophies and theologies. And good presentation, btw, what are often called facts often turn out to be an illusion.
If you have not seen it—here is the Puthoff analysis of “the issue”—what are we dealing with?:

I got thinking about it, and I don’t think I have the book itself, but rather, somewhere, a cassette audiobook version. Wonder where that is? I could digitize it and thumb drive it for the car.
“what are often called facts often turn out to be an illusion”
You are way too nice.
History has shown that almost everything homo sapiens believed was total and complete garbage—designed by the elites and their witch doctors to keep the masses ignorant and the elites and the witch doctors in power.
I have seen no persuasive evidence that it is different today.
Thanks!
