imagine thinking there is alien technology on earth


You seem appropriately skeptical for my purposes. Free answer time my man. What's your take on a major national lab investing big money into technology based on physics that is 100% wrong, according to what is publicly known? https://arxiv.org/pdf/2306.06133.pdf (please note equation 15).


if i can't understand those equations then does it mean aliens are real


It means the guys a Lawrence Livermore are investing a LOT of money into technology that is based on physics which directly contradicts Einstein's general relativity, the best tested theory humans have. In my academic experience, government funders are unbelievably risk-averse, and I bet the ones who run major DOE labs are too. They know that equation is actually right, or are extremely certain that this thing will work even without a perfect understanding of it, or they wouldn't invest the cash. More fun facts: that equation contains a term that Jack Sarfatti has introduced (check citation 29 and the first paragraph of page.3). Jack Sarfatti is a UFO researcher, he studies UFOs seriously and writes physics papers on how he thinks they work. So DOE is pumping serious money into tech based off actual UFO science, which contradicts Einstein. Does this mean aliens are real? No. It does looks very suspicious though.


i like me some conspiracy theories but this one is too much


This isn't a theory: either that paper is right, or the US taxpayer is being defrauded by DOE to develop tech based off junk science. One of those things is actually true. Do you pay US taxes?


Thank you for this. If the paper is right, it should be celebrated as a scientific achievement but instead, we got a boatload of national security state propaganda about ufos instead.


That Grusch guy says there is, and he's as honest as the day is long, according to other people, none of whom are willing to present hard evidence to corroborate his claims. Scout's honor, though.


Most people who research UFOs know that it probably isn't "alien" technology.


Reddit devs, care to comment? Who made the commit?
