ENTERTAINMENT OVER FACTS, UNACCEPTABLE

Recently I was watching a show on the structures at Nan Madol. These structures are another incident of nobody knows how they were built. Here are a few basic facts for background. Nan Madol is on the Island of Pohnpei in Micronesia. There are around 130 structures built out of Basalt pillars that were believed to have been mined about 25 miles away. The actual date of the building of these structures is believe to be sometime around the 11th to 13th century. It is estimated that 827,000 tons of material was used to build the structures. Some of the stones/pillars are light enough to be carried by hand while others weigh up to 50 tons. And, parts of some of the structures are built in the surrounding sea. As stated above, nobody knows how these structures were built with the limited tools available at the time.

As part of the show they wanted to show what the structure under the water looked like. So, they had a small underwater drone they sent over toward the structure. Well, as the drone approached the structure under the water the video signal from the drone was lost. It just so happened they had another similar drone that was also sent over to the same area of the structure under the ocean and it too lost the video signal. They made it a point to say that both drones had been checked the day before and were operating properly.

Given the signal loss from two underwater drones it was determined that both drones failed due to some type of electro-magnetic (EM) interference from the under the ocean water part of the structure. Considered with the unique aspects and unknowns associated with Nan Madol a secondary conclusion was reached that there had to be some type of ET assistance in building the structures. And, it was further concluded that because the underwater portion of the structure had some type of electro-magnetic charge the ET help had have used some kind of anti-gravity ET technology that charged the Basalt stones.

All things considered the above line of thinking and conclusions make for a legitimate hypothesis. However, there was no testing of this hypothesis even though testing of it could have easily been done, and should have been done, given the adjacent surrounding structures. The failure to test the hypothesis and obtain further evidence regarding ET involvement in the building of the structures was a significant error. This missed evidentiary opportunity can result in significant questioning of any further conclusions associated with Nan Madol and ET involvement.

As for testing the hypothesis/conclusions stated in the show, if alien anti-gravity technology was used for the underwater part of the structures and contaminated these Basalt columns, then it was also used for the above water portions of the structure. If the ET anti-gravity technology resulted in an EM charge to the underwater portion of the structure, then it should have also caused an EM charge to the above water portions of the structure. Testing for this EM contamination could have been done by simply turning the drone on and walking up to above water wall and see if this area of the wall caused the drone signal to fail. This simple test could have been done all over the Nan Madol area. At the very least the quarry where the Basalt columns was believed to have been mined should have also been tested to verify there was nothing associated with the area of the mining that could have caused the EM charge to the underwater Basalt used for the construction.

There is a secondary evidentiary issue regarding the EM conclusion for the Basalt columns, always make sure that there is no contamination of your evidence. So, you have Basalt columns under ocean water that you are trying to view but you cannot because your underwater drones keep losing signal and your conclusion is that the Basalt columns have an EM charge due to being put into place by alien anti-gravitational technology. So what does sea water have that fresh water does not have? Salt. Salt is an ionic compound, meaning it has an extra electric charge. So if the underwater Basalt columns do in fact have an EM charge isn’t the most likely reason due to the constant sea water motion around the columns?

Let’s recap;

Two underwater drones that were working failed when they get near Basalt columns that are under sea water.

The conclusion is these columns picked up an EM charge and this is what is caused the drones to fail.

Because of the unique characteristics of the structures that are underwater and their age, the conclusion is that the Basalt columns had to have been put into place by alien anti-gravity technology.

This conclusion can easily be tested by testing nearby columns above the sea water, and testing at the quarry site. However, no verification testing is done.

And, the fact that these columns are under salt water which could account for the EM charge is never considered.

Put all of these things together and you have evidence contamination by the salt water surrounding the Basalt columns in question that could have caused any EM charge on the underwater columns. And, no side testing was done which could have easily confirmed or denied the EM charge on the underwater columns.

The issue of alien and UFO visitation is a very important topic with respect to today’s physics and science so it needs to be investigated completely and more important legitimately. Reporting rushed, unsupported, untested conclusions based on contaminated evidence for the sake of audience entertainment only degrades this important topic. The UFO community deserves and is entitled to much better than this. Furthermore, the unique overall design and history of the Nan Madol structures speak for themselves. They do not need sloppy and incomplete work to try and justify a pre-existing conclusion. In other words, the UFO and ET community already has an uphill fight for legitimacy; do not make this fight any harder for the sake of entertainment.

I believe that there is change afoot in the scientific community. My position has always been that when it comes to UFOs and ETs today’s scientists should not be saying they are impossible, rather they should be asking what do those flying the UFOs know that I don’t. Pushing entertainment over facts only sets back the coming changes in physics and the sciences.

PHILOSOPHICAL PHYSICS

“Physics.” Say this word in a conversation or bring it up as a topic to talk about and you will completely kill the conversation or people will immediately start walking away. The word strikes fear into the hearts of the average person. Not because it is associated with anything bad. To the contrary, the word refers to basic rules and laws regarding what makes our world and universe work. However, these universal laws and rules have the bad rap of being hard to understand and this is what scares the average person. This is especially true in our world today because of other words associated with the word “Physics.” The words “quantum,” “relativity” and “string theory” are the key words of today’s physics and in the case of these words there are so few people that understand what these things are. Today’s physics has progressed to the point well beyond the level of understanding of today’s average person. 

Is this what nature and our universe intended for us? I for one do not believe so.

How do we address the complexity of today’s physics with respect to the average person of today? One way to do this is to go back to the beginning and look at how things were at the start. In this case the start is with the ancient Greeks about 2,600 years ago.

The word “Physics” in ancient Greek comes from the word “nature” and/or “natural science.” This in turn morphs into the study of nature, and then gives us the meaning we have today which is the science that studies nature and the properties of matter and energy. And, since the word “Physics” comes from the ancient Greeks, there must be some accompanying ancient Greek Physicists. The first Greek Physicist is believed to be Thales of Miletus, (c. 624 BCE – c. 546 BCE). Also in the mix of early physicists are Pythagoras of Samos (c. 570 BCE - c. 495 BCE), known for developing the Pythagorean Theorem, and Aristotle (c. 384 BCE - c. 322 BCE).

There is another factor associated with all three of these ancient Greek Scholars that must also be addressed, and that is they were also some of the first ancient Greek Philosophers. In other words, physics and philosophy both started about 2,600 years ago, and these three scholars are part of the beginning of both of these disciplines. Since these scholars defined physics from its beginning, we should also look at how they and their contemporaries in ancient Greek also defined philosophy in its beginning.

“The love of wisdom” is the general translation of the ancient Greek word for philosophy. In essence, the ancient Greeks were working on understanding the world through their intelligence and by gaining knowledge. They were trying to move away from a world view based on religion and myths. It is important to note that nothing about this view relates to having a thorough understanding of the mathematical concepts and formalism of the physics 2,600 years ago. In today’s world the philosophical undertaking for what we are discussing is the connection of human thought and the basic workings of the universe we live in.  Again, there is nothing in the current view of philosophy that requires a working knowledge of complex mathematical concepts and formalism of any of today’s sciences. Rather, it is our own thoughts on the basic workings of our universe.    

Fast forward around 2,000 years to another philosophical principle from the 14th century, “Occam’s Razor.” The current general interpretation of this principle is that if there is more than one solution to a problem the simplest solution is most likely the correct solution. Another title for Occam’s Razor is Occam’s Principle, which it is important to note, is a philosophical principle and not a scientific principle. According to this Occam’s Principle if there is an incident/event that has two solutions/explanations, the one with the least amount of assumptions is most likely the correct solution/explanation. Stated another way, the greater the complexity of a solution/explanation, the greater the probability the solution/explanation is incorrect.

Around 1830 - 1840 Occam’s Razor led to the Law or Principle of Parsimony. In essence the Principle of Parsimony says that a theory should be the most economical or simplest explanation of an event or phenomenon. It has also been said that Parsimony suggests that a theory should be natural and have an aesthetic quality. Considering today’s physics with the Law of Parsimony indicates that Quantum Physics, String Theory and, to some extent, maybe even Relativity should be simpler and more natural. In other words, saying the word “Physics” should not be sudden death for a conversation or gathering.

Even though Occam’s Razor and the Law of Parsimony are recognized as philosophical principles, there is nothing that states they cannot also be applied to theories in physics.

I am reminded of a quote an old friend of mine used to say, “I am not a weatherman but I can still tell you when it is raining.” By extension, it is possible for anyone to say, “I am not a physicist, but I can still question things that don’t make sense.” I believe that we owe it to ourselves to question today’s physics. This is not to say that today’s physics is wrong, rather it is to question it to make sure that it is at least partially right and in its simplest form.

LIFE, UFOs, PHYSICS and WHAT I THINK

I believe in UFOs and ETs.

I believe in Ghosts, Spirits or Beings

I believe in physics.

The reality, these things currently do not mix very well.

Maybe we can reach an understanding between them.

Terminology, yes the term UFO is archaic, clunky and not as 21^st century as UAP, Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. However, everybody is familiar with it and there is no confusion with respect to what it means. And, just to verify when I am referring to UFOs I am referring to an Unidentified Flying Object being operated by a life form not of this earth, an ET. Yes, ET, Extra-Terrestrial, is just like UFO with respect to being old and clunky. But I like it better and it is more commonly known than ETI, Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. For me in this case, old is better.

Physics, I think physics is the greatest science out there and I truly believe that physics is the quintessential science of our universe and is the tool for us to learn about our universe. I have an under-graduate degree in physics. The students that I graduated with were all younger than my oldest daughter. I got started in my physics education late in life and already had career(s) working. This does in fact explain a lot, I never had to drink the post-graduate Kool-Aid. It is important to me to make something clear; I am not saying that there is anything wrong with physics. If we actually take the time to understand it and properly use physics as the tool that it is, I believe that physics will give us the universe.

Why do I believe in UFOs rather than taking the path that says because of physics, UFOs are impossible, and ET travel to our little planet cannot occur and Ghosts or Beings cannot exist; EVIDENCE.

I have as big of a respect for evidence as I do for physics. Evidence comes in all forms; there is physical evidence, circumstantial evidence, witness statements, observations, and all of the other various types of evidence. Experimental results are also a limited type of evidence.

What is some evidence for UFOs and ETs, in our history there are structures and unusual items that go back up to 10,000 years ago where there is no explanation or understanding as to how these structures were built and some of their pieces were constructed. Not to mention all of the different writings, carvings and wall paintings that is from the same time frame in history. And then there are all of the sightings, photos, videos, physical evidence and witness statements from our recent history up to today. There is simply too much evidence throughout our species’ history to dismiss UFOs and ETs as impossible because our physics says so.

Therefore, the conflict that we are faced with is the reality of UFOs and ETs with respect to the impossibility of interstellar travel. Since the evidence for UFOs and ETs is overwhelming and cannot be dismissed or ignored, the only conclusion left is that we must be missing something in today’s physics. A little digging into today’s physics reveals that I really believe this is in fact the case. The physicists and scientists of today are not looking out for more in our universe to learn about or what new things are there to discover. Rather, they are looking only at what is already known, and they are not questioning the validity of what is known. What today’s scientists are doing is pushing forward with what is already known without questioning whether or not it is complete or right.

Right now it is important for me to say something right up front, I am not saying that today’s physics and science is completely wrong. Not at all, what I am doing is saying that there are things that I am questioning and I feel need further explanation. I will also say this right up front, based on what I know and have discovered, I very much believe that today’s physics and science is incomplete. Physicists and scientists are not looking at the big picture and/or all of the information and evidence that is available. Here is my position:

Based on all of the information and evidence available on UFOs, today’s scientists and physicists should not be saying that UFOs are impossible. Rather, they should be asking themselves what do the entities flying these UFOs know that I/we don’t know.

So, I will start posting different things/questions about UFOs and Today’s Physics that I would like to learn more about and hopefully we can start having open and informative conversations about two very important topics for everybody in today’s world.
