1 00:00:03,189 --> 00:00:02,470 and it hits me oh my gosh this is that 2 00:00:04,309 --> 00:00:03,199 triangle 3 00:00:05,670 --> 00:00:04,319 you know there's explanation for 4 00:00:06,309 --> 00:00:05,680 everything that occurred in the rendel 5 00:00:08,470 --> 00:00:06,319 champions 6 00:00:10,790 --> 00:00:08,480 incident that doesn't involve aliens at 7 00:00:14,150 --> 00:00:10,800 all it was completely silent 8 00:00:16,470 --> 00:00:14,160 it comes right over our heads he saw a 9 00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:16,480 classic flying saucer really standing in 10 00:00:19,830 --> 00:00:18,320 the clearing he turned over to my father 11 00:00:25,269 --> 00:00:19,840 and held his hand and he looked in his 12 00:00:30,630 --> 00:00:28,630 welcome to podcast ufo for our live show 13 00:00:32,310 --> 00:00:30,640 we're live every wednesday on the dark 14 00:00:35,229 --> 00:00:32,320 matter radio network 15 00:00:36,549 --> 00:00:35,239 please remember to visit the website 16

00:00:54,160 every wednesday night at 9 00 pm 26 00:00:57,750 --> 00:00:56,480 eastern standard time on the dark matter 27 00:00:59,430 --> 00:00:57,760 radio network 28 00:01:01,910 --> 00:00:59,440 we have a great show for you tonight and 29 00:01:04,869 --> 00:01:01,920 our guest is the chief mufon 30 00:01:06,550 --> 00:01:04,879 video photo analyst his name is mark 31 00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:06,560 d'antonio he was on 32 00:01:10,230 --> 00:01:08,479 talking about astronomy a while back i 33 00:01:12,710 --> 00:01:10,240 should be a great show 34 00:01:13,429 --> 00:01:12,720 now you may be saying to yourself gee i 35 00:01:16,390 --> 00:01:13,439 thought uh 36 00:01:17,590 --> 00:01:16,400 noey torres and his co-author uh reuben 37 00:01:19,910 --> 00:01:17,600 were going to be on 38 00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:19,920 this evening well i have to tell you i 39 00:01:23,030 --> 00:01:21,200 made a big boo-boo 40 00:01:24,310 --> 00:01:23,040 and i thought he was in a different time 41 00:01:27,270 --> 00:01:24,320 zone so 42 00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:27,280 both noe and ruben had a commitment at 43 00:01:30,149 --> 00:01:27,600 our 44 00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:30,159 show time and uh you know it really 45 00:01:35,030 --> 00:01:32,320 takes a big man to admit 46 00:01:35,429 --> 00:01:35,040 he's screwed up so i'm just gonna have 47 00:01:44,069 --> 00:01:35,439 to 48 00:01:46,630 --> 00:01:44,079 our guest in the future 49 00:01:48,230 --> 00:01:46,640 and he's traveled back in time it all 50 00:01:49,590 --> 00:01:48,240 has to do with dark matter and we're 51 00:01:51,670 --> 00:01:49,600 going to be talking about that 52 00:01:53,990 --> 00:01:51,680 with andy fleming and a clip coming up 53 00:01:55,990 --> 00:01:54,000 later you know i'm wondering why 54 00:01:57,429 --> 00:01:56,000 recently a listener wrote me and he says 55 00:01:58,709 --> 00:01:57,439 you know he doesn't get my weird sense 56 00:02:00,630 --> 00:01:58,719 of humor 57 00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:00,640 um but he also said this was his 58 00:02:05,590 --> 00:02:03,360 favorite show i think they call that 59 00:02:07,109 --> 00:02:05,600 a backhanded compliment or something 60 00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:07,119 like that whatever it is 61 00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:10,319 i'll take it so in the news recently 62 00:02:17,030 --> 00:02:13,840 billionaire entrepreneur and space x 63 00:02:20,070 --> 00:02:17,040 ceo elon musk let the curtain to the 64 00:02:21,830 --> 00:02:20,080 future drop on thursday on may 29th 65 00:02:24,790 --> 00:02:21,840 to reveal his company's new manned 66 00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:24,800 dragon version number two 67 00:02:28,390 --> 00:02:26,480 and this is going to be an astronaut 68 00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:28,400 transporter i believe it'll take 69 00:02:32,949 --> 00:02:31,120 i think it is seven astronauts to the 70 00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:32,959 international space station 71 00:02:37,990 --> 00:02:35,920 and right now the russians have uh 72 00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:38,000 they're charging i believe it is 17 73 00:02:40,869 --> 00:02:40,319 million dollars per seat to get us to 74 00:02:44,229 --> 00:02:40,879 the state 75 00:02:47,430 --> 00:02:44,239 space space station and back so um 76 00:02:48,470 --> 00:02:47,440 elon plans to keep it in the u.s and who 77 00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:48,480 knows what's going to happen in the 78 00:02:52,869 --> 00:02:50,000 future with the 79 00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:52,879 russians bringing us there anyway so i i 80 00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:55,040 have a little clip here of elon talking 81 00:02:58,070 --> 00:02:56,800 about it right here 82 00:03:00,390 --> 00:02:58,080 there are a lot of interesting 83 00:03:02,710 --> 00:03:00,400 technologies in version one 84 00:03:03,589 --> 00:03:02,720 it does have a relatively conventional 85 00:03:06,470 --> 00:03:03,599 landing 86 00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:06,480 approach so it throws out parachutes to 87 00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:08,080 land in the water after it comes back 88 00:03:11,190 --> 00:03:09,120 from the space station 89 00:03:12,550 --> 00:03:11,200 and it does have a life support system 90 00:03:14,710 --> 00:03:12,560 but not one that can 91 00:03:16,309 --> 00:03:14,720 last for a long time or carry a lot of 92 00:03:18,229 --> 00:03:16,319 people and 93 00:03:20,149 --> 00:03:18,239 so it's a great spacecraft and it was a 94 00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:20,159 great proof of concept it showed us 95 00:03:23,509 --> 00:03:21,920 what it took to bring something back 96 00:03:24,229 --> 00:03:23,519 from orbit which is a very difficult 97 00:03:25,589 --> 00:03:24,239 thing to do 98 00:03:27,670 --> 00:03:25,599 usually when something comes in from 99 00:03:29,670 --> 00:03:27,680 orbital velocity it it burns up 100 00:03:31,430 --> 00:03:29,680 in a big fireball but going from dragon 101 00:03:33,910 --> 00:03:31,440 version one we want to take 102 00:03:34,869 --> 00:03:33,920 a big step in technology really create 103 00:03:37,589 --> 00:03:34,879 something that was 104 00:03:38,309 --> 00:03:37,599 a step change in spacecraft technology 105 00:03:40,229 --> 00:03:38,319 and uh 106 00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:40,239 and some important characteristics of 107 00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:42,720 that are the ability to land anywhere on 108 00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:43,360 land 109 00:03:46,710 --> 00:03:45,120 uh propulsively so that's one of the 110 00:03:47,589 --> 00:03:46,720 things that dragon version 2 will be 111 00:03:49,190 --> 00:03:47,599 able to do so 112 00:03:50,949 --> 00:03:49,200 you'll be able to land anywhere on earth 113 00:03:51,509 --> 00:03:50,959 with the accuracy of a helicopter which 114 00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:51,519 is i think 115 00:03:55,030 --> 00:03:53,280 something that a spaceship should a 116 00:03:57,190 --> 00:03:55,040 modern spaceship should be able to do 117 00:03:59,589 --> 00:03:57,200 and it'll be capable of carrying seven 118 00:04:01,509 --> 00:03:59,599 people seven astronauts for several days 119 00:04:03,270 --> 00:04:01,519 it has an improved version of our pica 120 00:04:04,630 --> 00:04:03,280 heat shield and 121 00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:04,640 it's all around really a big leap 122 00:04:08,229 --> 00:04:06,159 forward in technology it really takes 123 00:04:09,990 --> 00:04:08,239 things to the next level 124 00:04:13,030 --> 00:04:10,000 now if you look at pictures we have one 125 00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:13,040 on our homepage podcastufo.com 126 00:04:17,189 --> 00:04:15,840 all of the pictures of the crafts and 127 00:04:19,270 --> 00:04:17,199 everything that are shown are always 128 00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:19,280 like squeaky clean and white 129 00:04:23,350 --> 00:04:22,079 and uh you know i just again i'm a big 130 00:04:26,629 --> 00:04:23,360 fan of musks 131 00:04:29,990 --> 00:04:26,639 or is it musk anyway however you say it 132 00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:30,000 big fan of his and uh and uh do 133 00:04:36,469 --> 00:04:33,360 do uh join our chat room coming up 134 00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:36,479 right now we have andy fleming and he's 135 00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:39,040 gonna talk about dark matter 136 00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:42,479 hi martin and listeners now it's an 137 00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:43,520 embarrassment 138 00:04:48,390 --> 00:04:46,479 of gargantuan proportions that lies at 139 00:04:51,189 --> 00:04:48,400 the heart of modern physics 140 00:04:51,749 --> 00:04:51,199 a kind of cosmic elephant in the room if 141 00:04:54,070 --> 00:04:51,759 you will 142 00:04:55,150 --> 00:04:54,080 put simply physicists realize that when 143 00:04:58,070 --> 00:04:55,160 we look out 144 00:05:00,710 --> 00:04:58,080 13.7 billion light years across the 145 00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:00,720 visible universe with our telescopes 146 00:05:07,189 --> 00:05:04,320 whether it visible infrared gamma ray or 147 00:05:08,469 --> 00:05:07,199 x-ray wavelengths we're only seeing a 148 00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:08,479 tiny proportion 149 00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:11,759 of all that there is modern physics and 150 00:05:14,870 --> 00:05:12,400 its key 151 00:05:16,550 --> 00:05:14,880 theories of quantum mechanics and 152 00:05:18,790 --> 00:05:16,560 general relativity 153 00:05:21,990 --> 00:05:18,800 which have successfully provided us with 154 00:05:24,629 --> 00:05:22,000 everything from ipods to gps systems 155 00:05:25,350 --> 00:05:24,639 simply doesn't have a clue as to what 156 00:05:28,710 --> 00:05:25,360 makes up 157 00:05:31,909 --> 00:05:28,720 96 of our universe 158 00:05:33,029 --> 00:05:31,919 the best estimates of cosmologists and 159 00:05:35,189 --> 00:05:33,039 physicists 160 00:05:37,510 --> 00:05:35,199 reveal that only four percent of the 161 00:05:40,150 --> 00:05:37,520 universe is constituted of 162 00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:40,160 normal baryonic matter consisting of the 163 00:05:42,950 --> 00:05:41,680 things we see with our eyes and 164 00:05:44,790 --> 00:05:42,960 detectors 165 00:05:46,710 --> 00:05:44,800 this is made up of atoms and their 166 00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:46,720 constituent parts and includes 167 00:05:52,950 --> 00:05:49,759 stars planets and intergalactic 168 00:05:54,150 --> 00:05:52,960 dust einstein said that mass and energy 169 00:05:58,110 --> 00:05:54,160 are equivalent 170 00:05:59,990 --> 00:05:58,120 and since the late 1990s astronomers and 171 00:06:03,029 --> 00:06:00,000 cosmologists have found that a 172 00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:03,039 staggering 73 percent of the universe 173 00:06:08,350 --> 00:06:06,000 is made of something called dark energy 174 00:06:11,110 --> 00:06:08,360 which reveals itself by an 175 00:06:14,150 --> 00:06:11,120 anti-gravitational force it 176 00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:14,160 turns out that the expanding universe as 177 00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:16,560 first revealed by edwin hubble 178 00:06:20,550 --> 00:06:19,280 isn't just expanding at a linear rate 179 00:06:23,749 --> 00:06:20,560 the expansion 180 00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:23,759 is actually accelerating one day in the 181 00:06:27,350 --> 00:06:24,160 far 182 00:06:30,150 --> 00:06:27,360 and distant future cosmologists will 183 00:06:30,870 --> 00:06:30,160 no longer see galaxies outside our own 184 00:06:33,029 --> 00:06:30,880 cluster 185 00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:33,039 they'll simply be over the cosmic 186 00:06:36,070 --> 00:06:34,000 horizon 187 00:06:37,189 --> 00:06:36,080 too far away for light to have had 188 00:06:39,909 --> 00:06:37,199 enough time 189 00:06:42,710 --> 00:06:39,919 to travel to the earth for now though we 190 00:06:43,990 --> 00:06:42,720 have little idea as to what dark energy 191 00:06:46,150 --> 00:06:44,000 actually is 192 00:06:48,309 --> 00:06:46,160 we may have rather more success in 193 00:06:51,110 --> 00:06:48,319 identifying dark matter 194 00:06:51,749 --> 00:06:51,120 first postulated by astronomer fritz 195 00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:51,759 wiki 196 00:06:57,909 --> 00:06:55,440 in 1934 to account for the 197 00:07:00,550 --> 00:06:57,919 missing mass needed to sustain the 198 00:07:01,749 --> 00:07:00,560 orbital velocities of galaxies in 199 00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:01,759 clusters 200 00:07:06,469 --> 00:07:04,240 subsequently other observations have 201 00:07:07,350 --> 00:07:06,479 indicated the presence of dark matter in 202 00:07:09,830 --> 00:07:07,360 the universe 203 00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:09,840 including the gravitational lensing of 204 00:07:15,189 --> 00:07:12,560 background objects by galaxy clusters 205 00:07:17,589 --> 00:07:15,199 such as the bullet cluster and the 206 00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:17,599 temperature distribution of hot gas in 207 00:07:21,909 --> 00:07:18,479 galaxies 208 00:07:24,469 --> 00:07:21,919 that most 209 00:07:25,990 --> 00:07:24,479 dark matter by its very nature does not 210 00:07:28,790 --> 00:07:26,000 consist of atoms 211 00:07:29,670 --> 00:07:28,800 it doesn't interact with electromagnetic 212 00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:29,680 radiation 213 00:07:33,670 --> 00:07:32,000 and therefore we cannot detect it 214 00:07:36,390 --> 00:07:33,680 without telescopes 215 00:07:38,870 --> 00:07:36,400 there are many speculative possibilities 216 00:07:41,749 --> 00:07:38,880 as to what dark matter may be 217 00:07:42,710 --> 00:07:41,759 including a whole zoo of standard model 218 00:07:45,749 --> 00:07:42,720 or exotic 219 00:07:49,350 --> 00:07:45,759 particles including neutrinos and 220 00:07:52,710 --> 00:07:49,360 super symmetrical particles brown dwarfs 221 00:07:55,589 --> 00:07:52,720 rock dust or black holes 222 00:07:57,430 --> 00:07:55,599 whatever dark matter turns out to be and 223 00:07:58,070 --> 00:07:57,440 there are many experiments being 224 00:08:00,629 --> 00:07:58,080 conducted 225 00:08:03,029 --> 00:08:00,639 around the globe to detect it including 226 00:08:05,189 --> 00:08:03,039 at the large hadron collider at cern 227 00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:05,199 and in the zeppelin three dark matter 228 00:08:11,189 --> 00:08:08,000 detectors at cleveland potash's mine 229 00:08:13,270 --> 00:08:11,199 at booby whitby in the united kingdom 230 00:08:15,589 --> 00:08:13,280 we're likely to have an answer as to 231 00:08:16,869 --> 00:08:15,599 what this fundamental constituent of the 232 00:08:19,990 --> 00:08:16,879 universe is 233 00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:20,000 long before that for dark energy 234 00:08:24,309 --> 00:08:22,080 whichever way you look at it it's an 235 00:08:26,790 --> 00:08:24,319 embarrassment though for modern physics 236 00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:26,800 to only know what just four percent of 237 00:08:31,510 --> 00:08:28,080 the universe 238 00:08:34,110 --> 00:08:31,520 is actually made of that's right 239 00:08:35,750 --> 00:08:34,120 uh please join in our chat room at 240 00:08:39,430 --> 00:08:35,760 podcastufo.com 241 00:08:40,709 --> 00:08:39,440 and uh chime in our guests ask our guest 242 00:08:43,829 --> 00:08:40,719 some questions 243 00:08:46,550 --> 00:08:43,839 or do your regular interacting bickering 244 00:08:46,949 --> 00:08:46,560 or whatever it is you like to do and we 245 00:08:49,829 --> 00:08:46,959 have 246 00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:49,839 mark d'antonio on the line how are you 247 00:08:53,350 -->

the last minute i 251 00:09:00,150 --> 00:08:58,800 really really appreciate it and uh 252 00:09:02,150 --> 00:09:00,160 you know you were going to be a future 253 00:09:03,350 --> 00:09:02,160 guest but um 254 00:09:05,990 --> 00:09:03,360 i just really want to thank you for 255 00:09:08,150 --> 00:09:06,000 coming on tonight oh not at all like uh 256 00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:08,160 like andy was just saying you know that 257 00:09:11,350 --> 00:09:09,839 we use dark matter here all the time 258 00:09:13,670 --> 00:09:11,360 it's rather boring now 259 00:09:15,350 --> 00:09:13,680 um but we use the technology to kind of 260 00:09:18,550 --> 00:09:15,360 jump back and forth through time 261 00:09:21,509 --> 00:09:18,560 it's you know it's little stuff so not a 262 00:09:23,590 --> 00:09:21,519 big deal to come back and do your show 263 00:09:24,710 --> 00:09:23,600 weeks after i had already not done it 264 00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:24,720 but then come back oh 265 00:09:30,949 --> 00:09:28,160 i just changed the timeline oh oh boy no 266 00:09:32,710 --> 00:09:30,959 this is just way too much from my head 267 00:09:37,509 --> 00:09:32,720 this is a problem my dog has 268 00:09:39,430 --> 00:09:37,519 five heads and that's just the beginning 269 00:09:42,070 --> 00:09:39,440 i shouldn't have stepped on it butterfly 270 00:09:46,630 --> 00:09:43,910 i do remember your sense of humor we 271 00:09:47,990 --> 00:09:46,640 recorded about astronomy um i think was 272 00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:48,000 last about a year ago or 273 00:09:51,670 --> 00:09:50,399 last fall i think it was yeah that's 274 00:09:53,030 --> 00:09:51,680 right and 275 00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:53,040 yeah that was correct that was a lot of 276 00:09:57,190 --> 00:09:54,720 fun so you 277 00:09:58,550 --> 00:09:57,200 are i have a a number of things i was 278 00:10:01,670 --> 00:09:58,560 thinking of to ask you 279 00:10:02,550 --> 00:10:01,680 you are the chief video and photo 280 00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:02,560 analyst 281 00:10:06,310 --> 00:10:04,959 am i saying that right of mufon yeah the 282 00:10:09,350 --> 00:10:06,320 chief photo video analyst for 283 00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:09,360 the mutual ufo network and um what that 284 00:10:12,949 --> 00:10:10,800 really means is that uh 285 00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:12,959 i'm i'm someone that was perfectly happy 286 00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:14,000 to do it 287 00:10:17,509 --> 00:10:16,959 well not no i'm kidding of course it was 288 00:10:19,350 --> 00:10:17,519 something 289 00:10:21,750 --> 00:10:19,360 i've actually been a member of mufon 290 00:10:25,110 --> 00:10:21,760 since 1971. 291 00:10:27,430 --> 00:10:25,120 wow yeah i was 11 when i joined mufon 292 00:10:28,870 --> 00:10:27,440 i'm not kidding i'm not kidding i am not 293 00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:28,880 that's actually true i mean 294 00:10:32,389 --> 00:10:30,800 and um everything i say is true with 295 00:10:33,509 --> 00:10:32,399 just a little jest thrown in here and 296 00:10:34,710 --> 00:10:33,519 there but it's nothing to do with time 297 00:10:37,750 --> 00:10:34,720 travel again though 298 00:10:38,150 --> 00:10:37,760 no no i knew i was gonna regret saying 299 00:10:41,269 --> 00:10:38,160 that 300 00:10:42,710 --> 00:10:41,279 but um no i i was eleven i had just uh 301 00:10:46,150 --> 00:10:42,720 i'd been out of the hospital after 302 00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:46,160 having a surgical procedure done and my 303 00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:48,079 parents brain surgery 304 00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:49,920 actually that was 18 years ago but 305 00:10:57,509 --> 00:10:56,150 no not at all i i if you can't laugh at 306 00:11:00,870 --> 00:10:57,519 yourself you can't laugh 307 00:11:02,790 --> 00:11:00,880 you know right so no but it was um 308 00:11:04,710 --> 00:11:02,800 uh you know interesting because i had 309 00:11:06,069 --> 00:11:04,720 always been interested in ufos and i 310 00:11:07,829 --> 00:11:06,079 would go outside look up 311 00:11:09,190 --> 00:11:07,839 see the gorgeous night sky and the first 312 00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:09,200 thing i want to do is take a picture of 313 00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:09,760 it 314 00:11:13,110 --> 00:11:12,480 and of course back then when i was 11 315 00:11:14,949 --> 00:11:13,120 okay 316 00:11:16,550 --> 00:11:14,959 it was uh you know kind of tough to get 317 00:11:18,870 --> 00:11:16,560 a film that could actually 318 00:11:20,550 --> 00:11:18,880 do the job number one number two it was 319 00:11:22,630 --> 00:11:20,560 tough to get a camera 320 00:11:24,389 --> 00:11:22,640 uh you know in general as an 11 year old 321 00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:24,399 who's going to go out and have the money 322 00:11:27,509 --> 00:11:25,920 to get a wonderful camera so i didn't 323 00:11:29,350 --> 00:11:27,519 get any of those things but what i 324 00:11:30,710 --> 00:11:29,360 did get was a telescope and the 325 00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:30,720 telescope was 326 00:11:34,710 --> 00:11:32,240 given to me by a dear friend of the 327 00:11:35,430 --> 00:11:34,720 family and i have to tell you that and 328 00:11:38,710 --> 00:11:35,440 one other 329 00:11:41,750 --> 00:11:38,720 interaction i had with someone at nasa 330 00:11:41,990 --> 00:11:41,760 got me fully into astronomy so i would 331 00:11:43,430 --> 00:11:42,000 look 332 00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:43,440 outside with the telescope all the time 333 00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:46,000 and then that sparked my imagination to 334 00:11:49,829 --> 00:11:48,720 create a space station plan and send it 335 00:11:51,990 --> 00:11:49,839 to nasa 336 00:11:53,670 --> 00:11:52,000 and i did just that on notebook paper 337 00:11:54,470 --> 00:11:53,680 with the lines and where i tore it out 338 00:11:57,750 --> 00:11:54,480 of the little 339 00:11:59,670 --> 00:11:57,760 you know notebook binder 340 00:12:01,990 --> 00:11:59,680 and i sent it to nasa and it was looked 341 00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:02,000 at by a man named 342 00:12:07,190 --> 00:12:05,440 um bert lee now 343 00:12:09,030 --> 00:12:07,200 most people know him as gentry lee 344 00:12:12,150 --> 00:12:09,040 gentry lee is the 345 00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:12,160 runs the directorate for uh the outer 346 00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:12,880 solar system 347 00:12:18,230 --> 00:12:16,399 robotic missions and he was a young 348 00:12:19,990 --> 00:12:18,240 scientist at the time of nasa he looked 349 00:12:21,590 --> 00:12:20,000 at my space station plan 350 00:12:23,030 --> 00:12:21,600 and instead of just dismissing it and 351 00:12:23,750 --> 00:12:23,040 laughing at it with his colleagues or 352 00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:23,760 whatever 353 00:12:27,190 --> 00:12:25,839 he actually returned it to me with all 354 00:12:29,750 --> 00:12:27,200 kinds of wonderful handwritten 355 00:12:31,509 --> 00:12:29,760 suggestions on each and every page 356 00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:31,519 and then he put it in what i called my 357 00:12:37,350 --> 00:12:33,920 space box a gigantic 358 00:12:39,350 --> 00:12:37,360 box to me anyway all right a gigantic 359 00:12:42,069 --> 00:12:39,360 box to this 11 year old kid 360 00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:42,079 that was full of cloth mission patches 361 00:12:46,150 --> 00:12:43,200 for all of the 362 00:12:48,150 --> 00:12:46,160 you know human space flight and books 363 00:12:49,910 --> 00:12:48,160 and brochures i mean he filled that 364 00:12:52,870 --> 00:12:49,920 thing to the brim 365 00:12:54,710 --> 00:12:52,880 and i have to say it was very very you 366 00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:54,720 know incredible for me and 367 00:12:57,829 --> 00:12:57,360 literally about a year and a half ago 368 00:12:59,670 --> 00:12:57,839 after 369 00:13:01,910 --> 00:12:59,680 not communicating with him since that 370 00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:01,920 point i wrote him an email 371 00:13:05,829 --> 00:13:04,160 and he responded and said i don't 372 00:13:07,670 --> 00:13:05,839 remember the incident but boy this is 373 00:13:09,509 --> 00:13:07,680 great let's keep talking 374 00:13:11,030 --> 00:13:09,519 so it was really cool to actually 375 00:13:12,949 --> 00:13:11,040 reconnect with gentry lee 376 00:13:16,150 --> 00:13:12,959 one of one of the people that i idolized 377 00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:16,160 in our human spaceflight endeavors 378 00:13:19,910 --> 00:13:18,720 wow that that is just amazing that 379 00:13:22,629 --> 00:13:19,920 really 380 00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:22,639 and then you you are actually now i'm 381 00:13:25,190 --> 00:13:23,360 sorry it's been 382 00:13:27,030 --> 00:13:25,200 you know several months you're you're 383 00:13:29,030 --> 00:13:27,040 actually an astronomer 384 00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:29,040 yeah that's what i got my degree in i 385 00:13:34,629 --> 00:13:30,959 went to i went to school for that i 386 00:13:36,550 --> 00:13:34,639 i spent many many a year in freezing 387 00:13:37,590 --> 00:13:36,560 cold observatories where the telescopes 388 00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:37,600 are so big 389 00:13:40,790 --> 00:13:39,360 that the entire floor moves up and down 390 00:13:42,790 --> 00:13:40,800 to meet the telescope 391 00:13:44,310 --> 00:13:42,800 you know as it's moving around the sky 392 00:13:46,470 --> 00:13:44,320 and that was when we had the work right 393 00:13:47,990 --> 00:13:46,480 at the eyepiece i was taking photos on 394 00:13:51,110 --> 00:13:48,000 glass plates 395 00:13:52,710 --> 00:13:51,120 because film wouldn't do the reason is 396 00:13:56,150 --> 00:13:52,720 it was part of a study called 397 00:13:58,790 --> 00:13:56,160 parallax study which which uh 398 00:14:00,629 --> 00:13:58,800 what what parallax is of course is is 399 00:14:03,910 --> 00:14:00,639 the 400 00:14:05,590 --> 00:14:03,920 finger out at arm's length and you 401 00:14:07,509 --> 00:14:05,600 hold up your index finger and you you 402 00:14:09,269 --> 00:14:07,519 blink left and right with your eye 403 00:14:11,110 --> 00:14:09,279 you're seeing the parallax effect you 404 00:14:11,750 --> 00:14:11,120 can actually see that the background 405 00:14:13,670 --> 00:14:11,760 remains 406 00:14:15,269 --> 00:14:13,680 relatively in the same position but the 407 00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:15,279 finger is shifting dramatically back and 408 00:14:18,310 --> 00:14:16,639 forth in the foreground 409 00:14:20,389 --> 00:14:18,320 well in the same way when we look at 410 00:14:22,230 --> 00:14:20,399 foreground stars that are not too far 411 00:14:24,230 --> 00:14:22,240 away from us 412 00:14:25,350 --> 00:14:24,240 we would see at each end of earth's 413 00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:25,360 orbit 414 00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:27,680 not the left and right eye but the both 415 00:14:30,310 --> 00:14:29,040 ends of the earth's orbit we would 416 00:14:32,230 --> 00:14:30,320 actually see that star 417 00:14:34,069 --> 00:14:32,240 shifting against the background stars 418 00:14:36,870 --> 00:14:34,079 and this gives us its distance to an 419 00:14:39,509 --> 00:14:36,880 extremely precise degree 420 00:14:40,150 --> 00:14:39,519 within a certain distance you know 421 00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:40,160 beyond 422 00:14:45,430 --> 00:14:43,360 parallax we have to use other 423 00:14:47,110 --> 00:14:45,440 you know techniques so there's it goes 424 00:14:48,949 --> 00:14:47,120 on and on but that was the program that 425 00:14:52,230 --> 00:14:48,959 i was involved in for a number of years 426 00:14:55,509 --> 00:14:52,240 and the glass plates would record 427 00:14:57,430 --> 00:14:55,519 a very precise image and then those 428 00:14:59,670 --> 00:14:57,440 plates would be used with a machine from 429 00:15:02,150 --> 00:14:59,680 yale university which would actually 430 00:15:02,710 --> 00:15:02,160 scan the density of the star image on 431 00:15:05,110 --> 00:15:02,720 this 432 00:15:06,550 --> 00:15:05,120 film emulsion can you imagine that film 433 00:15:07,670 --> 00:15:06,560 who's heard of film 434 00:15:09,430 --> 00:15:07,680 there's a lot of people out there that 435 00:15:10,150 --> 00:15:09,440 have never owned a film camera now you 436 00:15:17,430 --> 00:15:10,160 know 437 00:15:20,230 --> 00:15:17,440 go through that process 438 00:15:21,430 --> 00:15:20,240 um and then you know using similar 439 00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:21,440 research telescopes 440 00:15:26,710 --> 00:15:24,720 uh i did my thesis which was on finding 441 00:15:28,150 --> 00:15:26,720 uh stars that are speeding out of the 442 00:15:30,069 --> 00:15:28,160 galaxy at high speed through 443 00:15:31,829 --> 00:15:30,079 gravitational interactions 444 00:15:34,310 --> 00:15:31,839 and i found a few which is great yeehaw 445 00:15:38,150 --> 00:15:34,320 wow my claim the fame and i found some 446 00:15:41,670 --> 00:15:40,790 now getting back to our topic this 447 00:15:45,350 --> 00:15:41,680 evening 448 00:15:47,590 --> 00:15:45,360 sure i would like to talk to you about 449 00:15:49,269 --> 00:15:47,600 you know some of the i i guess some of 450 00:15:52,870 --> 00:15:49,279 the more interesting 451 00:15:53,829 --> 00:15:52,880 ufo videos and and uh and pictures that 452 00:15:56,870 --> 00:15:53,839 you have 453 00:15:57,189 --> 00:15:56,880 researched and i guess what i'd like to 454 00:16:00,389 --> 00:15:57,199 know 455 00:16:03,670 --> 00:16:00,399 is what is uh what stands out 456 00:16:05,749 --> 00:16:03,680 to you as some of the most interesting 457 00:16:07,910 --> 00:16:05,759 ones that you've dealt with 458 00:16:09,829 --> 00:16:07,920 well one of one of the things about ufo 459 00:16:10,629 --> 00:16:09,839 photos is first of all we have to find 460 00:16:13,910 --> 00:16:10,639 out 461 00:16:15,829 --> 00:16:13,920 uh what it's not so when i see a ufo 462 00:16:18,629 --> 00:16:15,839 photo or a video the first thing i do is 463 00:16:22,150 --> 00:16:18,639 i look at each and every one 464 00:16:24,470 --> 00:16:22,160 from the same set of processes okay 465 00:16:25,350 --> 00:16:24,480 that are running through my head first i 466 00:16:27,910 --> 00:16:25,360 try to 467 00:16:29,670 --> 00:16:27,920 explain it away now at first that sounds 468 00:16:31,829 --> 00:16:29,680 like i'm being a debunker 469 00:16:33,189 --> 00:16:31,839 actually it's far from it i'm trying to 470 00:16:36,949 --> 00:16:33,199 eliminate 471 00:16:38,870 --> 00:16:36,959 because someone else 472 00:16:41,030 --> 00:16:38,880 who might be doing independent research 473 00:16:41,509 --> 00:16:41,040 might find something in the image that i 474 00:16:43,749 --> 00:16:41,519 missed 475 00:16:45,509 --> 00:16:43,759 so i can't afford to really miss 476 00:16:47,189 --> 00:16:45,519 anything i have to really take the time 477 00:16:48,710 --> 00:16:47,199 to do the diligence to actually look 478 00:16:51,110 --> 00:16:48,720 through these images and say 479 00:16:52,550 --> 00:16:51,120 okay if i'm thinking that this is 480 00:16:54,069 --> 00:16:52,560 something that's in the foreground in 481 00:16:56,069 --> 00:16:54,079 this image 482 00:16:57,269 --> 00:16:56,079 i need something to back that up not 483 00:16:59,829 --> 00:16:57,279 just an opinion 484 00:17:00,629 --> 00:16:59,839 but some science and that's that's the 485 00:17:03,110 --> 00:17:00,639 thing that i 486 00:17:04,630 --> 00:17:03,120 tend to do is i tend to use science to 487 00:17:06,150 --> 00:17:04,640 help us explain 488 00:17:08,470 --> 00:17:06,160 what we're seeing in an image because 489 00:17:09,189 --> 00:17:08,480 sometimes you capture an ordinary object 490 00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:09,199 in a most 491 00:17:15,029 --> 00:17:12,240 extraordinary way and that's the thing 492 00:17:15,750 --> 00:17:15,039 that can throw people off and there's a 493 00:17:17,350 --> 00:17:15,760 lot of 494 00:17:18,870 --> 00:17:17,360 you're fighting psychology because 495 00:17:22,069 --> 00:17:18,880 there's some psychology 496 00:17:23,270 --> 00:17:22,079 of how we observe the world that cameras 497 00:17:24,710 --> 00:17:23,280 don't know 498 00:17:26,549 --> 00:17:24,720 and so when we take it when we take a 499 00:17:29,510 --> 00:17:26,559 picture of 500 00:17:30,789 --> 00:17:29,520 say birds flying through a frame we 501 00:17:32,870 --> 00:17:30,799 ignore them while we're taking the 502 00:17:36,390 --> 00:17:32,880 picture because they're just birds 503 00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:36,400 right okay but the camera of course 504 00:17:39,510 --> 00:17:38,880 captures these really interesting dark 505 00:17:42,150 --> 00:17:39,520 dashes 506 00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:42,160 flying along the horizon what's that you 507 00:17:45,350 --> 00:17:43,760 know you don't know what that is and 508 00:17:47,590 --> 00:17:45,360 that's the thing that we're trying to 509 00:17:49,510 --> 00:17:47,600 you know we have to explain again using 510 00:17:51,350 --> 00:17:49,520 science so we have to talk about 511 00:17:53,029 --> 00:17:51,360 how are birds shaped when they're caught 512 00:17:54,710 --> 00:17:53,039 in an exposure sometimes you don't see 513 00:17:56,950 --> 00:17:54,720 them crisp and clear they're blurry 514 00:17:58,150 --> 00:17:56,960 but the blur gives you lots of data 515 00:18:00,230 --> 00:17:58,160 there's interesting things you can 516 00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:00,240 deduce from that blur 517 00:18:04,950 --> 00:18:03,520 and there are shapes in for instance of 518 00:18:09,350 --> 00:18:04,960 a bird that 519 00:18:12,830 --> 00:18:09,360 looks just like um you know a ufo 520 00:18:14,310 --> 00:18:12,840 of some kind except if you then look at 521 00:18:17,830 --> 00:18:14,320 the 522 00:18:21,990 --> 00:18:17,840 if 523 00:18:24,710 --> 00:18:22,000 object the object has on the image 524 00:18:26,950 --> 00:18:24,720 or in the video you can many times see 525 00:18:28,470 --> 00:18:26,960 clues that will help you decide 526 00:18:29,830 --> 00:18:28,480 what you're looking at and i know i 527 00:18:31,190 --> 00:18:29,840 haven't talked about interesting ufos 528 00:18:34,150 --> 00:18:31,200 yet but i'm getting there 529 00:18:36,070 --> 00:18:34,160 okay um well we're getting some 530 00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:36,080 questions popping in on our 531 00:18:40,070 --> 00:18:37,760 our message board and i want to 532 00:18:40,710 --> 00:18:40,080 apologize for our live listeners i hate 533 00:18:43,830 --> 00:18:40,720 to say but 534 00:18:46,630 --> 00:18:43,840 um there seems to be some type of studio 535 00:18:47,110 --> 00:18:46,640 audio problem um the audio is going in 536 00:18:49,590 --> 00:18:47,120 and out 537 00:18:50,630 --> 00:18:49,600 um i can tell you right now keith roland 538 00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:50,640 are 539 00:18:54,070 --> 00:18:52,480 the producer of the show is working on 540 00:18:57,510 --> 00:18:54,080 that and um 541 00:18:59,990 --> 00:18:57,520 and they're actually asking um 542 00:19:01,350 --> 00:19:00,000 i would try to actually message you mark 543 00:19:02,470 --> 00:19:01,360 but they're asking if your mic can be 544 00:19:04,230 --> 00:19:02,480 turned down a little bit 545 00:19:06,310 --> 00:19:04,240 it can't really be turned down but maybe 546 00:19:09,669 --> 00:19:06,320 you can pull it away just a little bit 547 00:19:12,310 --> 00:19:09,679 um and the question that 548 00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:12,320 came up um let's see they're coming in 549 00:19:15,590 --> 00:19:13,840 pretty fast here 550 00:19:17,750 --> 00:19:15,600 are you familiar with any advanced 551 00:19:20,150 --> 00:19:17,760 photography videography methods 552 00:19:21,830 --> 00:19:20,160 such as studying infrared or near 553 00:19:24,710 --> 00:19:21,840 ultraviolet 554 00:19:25,510 --> 00:19:24,720 uh yeah as a matter of fact um one of 555 00:19:28,789 --> 00:19:25,520 the things 556 00:19:30,070 --> 00:19:28,799 uh that we're doing right now is we do a 557 00:19:31,430 --> 00:19:30,080 lot of work with drones 558 00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:31,440 but people call them drones and of 559 00:19:33,669 --> 00:19:32,640 course when you call them drones 560 00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:33,679 immediately you think 561 00:19:37,350 --> 00:19:35,760 you know hellfire missiles and killing 562 00:19:38,870 --> 00:19:37,360 killing killing not at all 563 00:19:41,270 --> 00:19:38,880 these are search and rescue systems 564 00:19:44,230 --> 00:19:41,280 these are actually 565 00:19:45,190 --> 00:19:44,240 these are systems for use uh in scanning 566 00:19:47,029 --> 00:19:45,200 remote areas 567 00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:47,039 so one of the things that we're 568 00:19:50,470 --> 00:19:48,240 developing is 569 00:19:52,470 --> 00:19:50,480 an infrared system as a matter of fact 570 00:19:54,870 --> 00:19:52,480 that will allow us to 571 00:19:55,590 --> 00:19:54,880 do remote scans from a long long way 572 00:19:57,750 --> 00:19:55,600 away 573 00:19:59,270 --> 00:19:57,760 and when i say long long way i don't 574 00:20:01,750 --> 00:19:59,280 mean a continent away i mean 575 00:20:03,270 --> 00:20:01,760 you know 10 miles away you know because 576 00:20:05,430 --> 00:20:03,280 you know in a case where you 577 00:20:06,310 --> 00:20:05,440 you want to in a case where you want to 578 00:20:08,789 --> 00:20:06,320 locate 579 00:20:09,669 --> 00:20:08,799 or do a scan of an area you know 580 00:20:11,909 --> 00:20:09,679 anything 581 00:20:13,190 --> 00:20:11,919 within a few miles might be alerted to 582 00:20:16,549 --> 00:20:13,200 your presence so we would 583 00:20:19,190 --> 00:20:16,559 rather have a system that can kind of 584 00:20:20,710 --> 00:20:19,200 get way up in the air kind of come in 585 00:20:22,549 --> 00:20:20,720 rather unannounced 586 00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:22,559 do some scans and then leave before 587 00:20:25,430 --> 00:20:24,000 being detected and even if it is 588 00:20:27,110 --> 00:20:25,440 detected 589 00:20:29,430 --> 00:20:27,120 it may not be registered as a threat 590 00:20:32,950 --> 00:20:29,440 because it's so small 591 00:20:35,990 --> 00:20:32,960 so these kinds of things are 592 00:20:38,549 --> 00:20:36,000 uh very important to us now um 593 00:20:39,750 --> 00:20:38,559 i i told you off the air earlier that 594 00:20:41,909 --> 00:20:39,760 we're working 595 00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:41,919 with a a guy that a lot of people out 596 00:20:45,430 --> 00:20:43,520 there know his name is doug trumbull 597 00:20:47,909 --> 00:20:45,440 doug is an academy award-winning special 598 00:20:49,110 --> 00:20:47,919 effects uh legend and a producer and 599 00:20:50,789 --> 00:20:49,120 i've been working with doug for about 600 00:20:51,909 --> 00:20:50,799 five years now i think it's going on 601 00:20:54,789 --> 00:20:51,919 it's been so long 602 00:20:55,190 --> 00:20:54,799 it's amazing how long that it's been uh 603 00:20:59,510 --> 00:20:55,200 time 604 00:21:01,190 --> 00:20:59,520 flies and we're actually developing 605 00:21:03,190 --> 00:21:01,200 uh with doug in fact it was doug's 606 00:21:04,070 --> 00:21:03,200 original idea a system that will 607 00:21:07,510 --> 00:21:04,080 actually do 608 00:21:09,350 --> 00:21:07,520 autonomous detection of anomalies now 609 00:21:11,029 --> 00:21:09,360 we you know everyone's heard of skywatch 610 00:21:11,510 --> 00:21:11,039 systems and there are skywatch systems 611 00:21:15,350 --> 00:21:11,520 out there 612 00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:15,360 they're great but the problem we have 613 00:21:21,669 --> 00:21:19,120 is what i see throughout the ufo world 614 00:21:22,630 --> 00:21:21,679 which is replete with photos that are 615 00:21:25,190 --> 00:21:22,640 that singular 616 00:21:26,950 --> 00:21:25,200 fuzzy photo but then the witness says 617 00:21:28,630 --> 00:21:26,960 but it was darting across the sky and 618 00:21:29,350 --> 00:21:28,640 then it did this and then it winked at 619 00:21:30,950 --> 00:21:29,360 me i mean 620 00:21:32,549 --> 00:21:30,960 but then you just see this blurry little 621 00:21:35,029 --> 00:21:32,559 dash of light in the sky 622 00:21:36,870 --> 00:21:35,039 so the data doesn't match the the 623 00:21:39,909 --> 00:21:36,880 witness 624 00:21:43,190 --> 00:21:39,919 you know testimony so what we want to do 625 00:21:44,710 --> 00:21:43,200 is to your question use multiple 626 00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:44,720 instruments 627 00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:46,880 in a sky watch system that will actually 628 00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:49,360 be able to monitor the sky in a variety 629 00:21:54,630 --> 00:21:50,880 of wavelengths including 630 00:21:57,350 --> 00:21:54,640 infrared ultraviolet and some other 631 00:21:58,710 --> 00:21:57,360 radiation emission elements in the 632 00:22:00,549 --> 00:21:58,720 spectrum 633 00:22:02,390 --> 00:22:00,559 you know we want to look for certain 634 00:22:05,909 --> 00:22:02,400 types of 635 00:22:08,149 --> 00:22:05,919 particle interactions known to 636 00:22:09,510 --> 00:22:08,159 expel particle accelerator physicists 637 00:22:12,149 --> 00:22:09,520 because those 638 00:22:13,990 --> 00:22:12,159 indicate something to us um somewhat of 639 00:22:15,830 --> 00:22:14,000 a smoking gun if advanced propulsion 640 00:22:19,430 --> 00:22:15,840 technologies are being used 641 00:22:22,630 --> 00:22:19,440 um so you know 642 00:22:23,190 --> 00:22:22,640 eventually when when string theory and m 643 00:22:27,190 --> 00:22:23,200 theory 644 00:22:29,430 --> 00:22:27,200 you know can can be made understandable 645 00:22:31,430 --> 00:22:29,440 uh to people i think it'll become 646 00:22:33,750 --> 00:22:31,440 clearer that 647 00:22:34,950 --> 00:22:33,760 we're on a sort of a precipice here we 648 00:22:37,830 --> 00:22:34,960 have to step off 649 00:22:39,830 --> 00:22:37,840 with a leap of faith and say look our 650 00:22:40,549 --> 00:22:39,840 our standard physics model that we 651 00:22:42,549 --> 00:22:40,559 currently 652 00:22:43,750 --> 00:22:42,559 hold dear which which andy was talking 653 00:22:45,510 --> 00:22:43,760 about earlier right 654 00:22:47,669 --> 00:22:45,520 um when he was talking about dark matter 655 00:22:48,230 --> 00:22:47,679 we tried to pigeonhole into our standard 656 00:22:50,950 --> 00:22:48,240 model what 657 00:22:53,190 --> 00:22:50,960 dark matter is but that's it's hard 658 00:22:55,110 --> 00:22:53,200 because a lot of things don't work 659 00:22:56,230 --> 00:22:55,120 they don't work right within the 660 00:22:59,350 --> 00:22:56,240 standard theory 661 00:23:00,390 --> 00:22:59,360 but if we work forward here from this 662 00:23:01,830 --> 00:23:00,400 point forward we're actually on a 663 00:23:03,270 --> 00:23:01,840 precipice where we have to take a leap 664 00:23:03,990 --> 00:23:03,280 of faith and say is string theory 665 00:23:06,789 --> 00:23:04,000 correct 666 00:23:07,669 --> 00:23:06,799 if it is then we're going to have to use 667 00:23:15,350 --> 00:23:07,679 different types of 668 00:23:17,510 --> 00:23:15,360 of of setups to look for 669 00:23:19,510 --> 00:23:17,520 beings that might be using advanced 670 00:23:23,270 --> 00:23:19,520 systems in order to get here 671 00:23:26,870 --> 00:23:23,280 because you know i do this marvelous 672 00:23:28,630 --> 00:23:26,880 funny toilet paper roll analogy 673 00:23:30,789 --> 00:23:28,640 uh when i do talks around the country 674 00:23:32,789 --> 00:23:30,799 and it's the entire history of the earth 675 00:23:36,149 --> 00:23:32,799 on a giant roll of toilet paper 676 00:23:39,029 --> 00:23:36,159 and you know the very beginning sheet is 677 00:23:41,990 --> 00:23:39,039 4.6 billion years ago and then at the 678 00:23:44,470 --> 00:23:42,000 very other end of the sheet 117 679 00:23:45,350 --> 00:23:44,480 plus feet later is us you know on that 680 00:23:48,549 --> 00:23:45,360 last sheet 681 00:23:51,750 --> 00:23:48,559 in a line 682 00:23:54,230 --> 00:23:51,760 that's only 0.01 millimeter in thickness 683 00:23:55,830 --> 00:23:54,240 and that's from ancient sumer all the 684 00:23:59,110 --> 00:23:55,840 way to present day 685 00:24:02,470 --> 00:23:59,120 so just all of the extent of human 686 00:24:03,430 --> 00:24:02,480 history is consolidated only in a tiny 687 00:24:05,430 --> 00:24:03,440 little 688 00:24:07,269 --> 00:24:05,440 line that's thinner than any implement 689 00:24:12,070 --> 00:24:07,279 on earth can draw 690 00:24:14,310 --> 00:24:12,080 on the finest paper so that said 691 00:24:16,070 --> 00:24:14,320 we already see on our horizons we see 692 00:24:17,430 --> 00:24:16,080 techniques to get to the nearest stars 693 00:24:19,590 --> 00:24:17,440 in a few days 694 00:24:20,630 --> 00:24:19,600 we can't do it now we need lots of 695 00:24:23,350 --> 00:24:20,640 energy to do this 696 00:24:24,470 --> 00:24:23,360 but we see that that possibility yes 697 00:24:25,990 --> 00:24:24,480 there's questions we don't know what to 698 00:24:26,630 --> 00:24:26,000 do how do you make a warp bubble we 699 00:24:29,269 --> 00:24:26,640 don't know 700 00:24:30,070 --> 00:24:29,279 but we do know that theoretically it's 701 00:24:33,190 --> 00:24:30,080 possible 702 00:24:35,990 --> 00:24:33,200 that's new because it's never been 703 00:24:37,510 --> 00:24:36,000 theoretical before and some of it hinges 704 00:24:40,070 --> 00:24:37,520 on string theory 705 00:24:41,430 --> 00:24:40,080 um and then beyond that horizon there's 706 00:24:43,830 --> 00:24:41,440 one more horizon which 707 00:24:46,070 --> 00:24:43,840 shows a possibility for us to actually 708 00:24:47,430 --> 00:24:46,080 leave our dimensional space 709 00:24:49,269 --> 00:24:47,440 sounds like we're going down the science 710 00:24:52,230 --> 00:24:49,279 fiction road here but you know what 711 00:24:53,430 --> 00:24:52,240 it's not so much science fiction anymore 712 00:24:55,350 --> 00:24:53,440 right if we can 713 00:24:56,789 --> 00:24:55,360 show the validity of string theory and 714 00:25:00,149 --> 00:24:56,799 some of the other 715 00:25:00,789 --> 00:25:00,159 uh ways in which we can supplement or 716 00:25:04,950 --> 00:25:00,799 replace 717 00:25:06,789 --> 00:25:04,960 the standard model that we use now so 718 00:25:08,390 --> 00:25:06,799 in those farther horizons we might be 719 00:25:09,430 --> 00:25:08,400 able to navigate different points in the 720 00:25:12,549 --> 00:25:09,440 universe 721 00:25:15,110 --> 00:25:12,559 you know in minutes and 722 00:25:16,230 --> 00:25:15,120 you know this is this is something that 723 00:25:19,269 --> 00:25:16,240 is really 724 00:25:21,750 --> 00:25:19,279 groundbreaking but it in our tiny little 725 00:25:23,510 --> 00:25:21,760 thin line of existence in that entire 726 00:25:26,830 --> 00:25:23,520 toilet paper roll 727 00:25:28,630 --> 00:25:26,840 in a uh universe that's been in 728 00:25:31,750 --> 00:25:28,640 existence a little bit 729 00:25:33,029 --> 00:25:31,760 less than three times that there's 730 00:25:34,630 --> 00:25:33,039 certainly 731 00:25:37,190 --> 00:25:34,640 other civilizations that probably came 732 00:25:39,029 --> 00:25:37,200 along say one inch before us 733 00:25:40,710 --> 00:25:39,039 on that last sheet which corresponds to 734 00:25:42,230 --> 00:25:40,720 several million years 735 00:25:45,110 --> 00:25:42,240 and they would have already seen those 736 00:25:47,269 --> 00:25:45,120 horizons we see now in our 0.01 737 00:25:50,710 --> 00:25:47,279 millimeter of thickness of existence 738 00:25:51,510 --> 00:25:50,720 and gone past them so the likelihood 739 00:25:53,750 --> 00:25:51,520 that 740 00:25:55,350 --> 00:25:53,760 another species another set of beings 741 00:25:56,390 --> 00:25:55,360 could have found us is actually quite 742 00:25:59,350 --> 00:25:56,400 high 743 00:26:01,110 --> 00:25:59,360 considering that we see planets that are 744 00:26:02,870 --> 00:26:01,120 forming now and we see planets that have 745 00:26:05,269 --> 00:26:02,880 survived the death of their star 746 00:26:06,870 --> 00:26:05,279 so planetary formation has been ongoing 747 00:26:08,310 --> 00:26:06,880 from just 748 00:26:10,230 --> 00:26:08,320 slightly after the beginning of the 749 00:26:12,950 --> 00:26:10,240 universe until now 750 00:26:14,149 --> 00:26:12,960 you know i'm listening to another 751 00:26:16,870 --> 00:26:14,159 astronomer 752 00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:16,880 speak he mentioned something i thought 753 00:26:19,350 --> 00:26:18,320 kind of goes along with this when you're 754 00:26:22,310 --> 00:26:19,360 talking about 755 00:26:23,590 --> 00:26:22,320 such a tiny little spot of time that 756 00:26:25,990 --> 00:26:23,600 we've been here 757 00:26:27,350 --> 00:26:26,000 you know by the time the sun starts 758 00:26:29,669 --> 00:26:27,360 swelling up and 759 00:26:30,710 --> 00:26:29,679 you know near the end of its um 760 00:26:34,549 --> 00:26:30,720 existence 761 00:26:36,630 --> 00:26:34,559 yeah um we'll the beings that will be on 762 00:26:39,350 --> 00:26:36,640 earth will be as close to 763 00:26:40,070 --> 00:26:39,360 us as we were to uh bacteria in other 764 00:26:42,390 --> 00:26:40,080 words 765 00:26:43,110 --> 00:26:42,400 will be so different whoever is on this 766 00:26:44,789 --> 00:26:43,120 earth 767 00:26:46,390 --> 00:26:44,799 and you know almost six billion years 768 00:26:49,830 --> 00:26:46,400 from now will 769 00:26:51,990 --> 00:26:49,840 most likely not be us well 770 00:26:52,950 --> 00:26:52,000 yes the way we if you look at history 771 00:26:55,350 --> 00:26:52,960 really 772 00:26:57,110 --> 00:26:55,360 you know the extinctions and you know 773 00:27:00,149 --> 00:26:57,120 what is it 99 774 00:27:02,230 --> 00:27:00,159 of everything has gone extinct yeah 775 00:27:04,230 --> 00:27:02,240 yeah there there's been actually in our 776 00:27:04,870 --> 00:27:04,240 on our history on earth we've actually 777 00:27:07,110 --> 00:27:04,880 had 778 00:27:08,310 --> 00:27:07,120 a number of incredible extinctions which 779 00:27:10,710 --> 00:27:08,320 are really 780 00:27:11,990 --> 00:27:10,720 uh you know most people don't even know 781 00:27:15,029 --> 00:27:12,000 about because they don't really 782 00:27:18,310 --> 00:27:15,039 think about it too much but you know 783 00:27:19,750 --> 00:27:18,320 everybody knows the the uh kt boundary 784 00:27:22,789 --> 00:27:19,760 extinction you know the 785 00:27:24,950 --> 00:27:22,799 cretaceous uh paley gene you know 65 786 00:27:27,669 --> 00:27:24,960 million years ago when dinosaurs died 787 00:27:28,630 --> 00:27:27,679 everybody knows that all right what they 788 00:27:32,070 --> 00:27:28,640 don't know 789 00:27:34,470 --> 00:27:32,080 is all the other uh mass extinctions 790 00:27:37,669 --> 00:27:34,480 that occurred on this planet you know 791 00:27:39,269 --> 00:27:37,679 there have been um well finally 792 00:27:40,710 --> 00:27:39,279 five or six of them actually you know 793 00:27:43,269 --> 00:27:40,720 and if you look at you know 794 00:27:44,789 --> 00:27:43,279 way back when uh you know we had 795 00:27:47,430 --> 00:27:44,799 extinctions from 796 00:27:47,990 --> 00:27:47,440 uh you know the the uh in the ordovician 797 00:27:50,149 --> 00:27:48,000 era which 798 00:27:52,149 --> 00:27:50,159 was best known for you know uh 799 00:27:53,510 --> 00:27:52,159 trilobites and those things okay 800 00:27:55,990 --> 00:27:53,520 you know there was a mass extinction 801 00:27:57,510 --> 00:27:56,000 there uh you know 60 percent of all 802 00:27:59,990 --> 00:27:57,520 marine life died then 803 00:28:01,430 --> 00:28:00,000 amazing you know and then um you know 804 00:28:04,070 --> 00:28:01,440 moving forward there was there was 805 00:28:05,510 --> 00:28:04,080 a number of other you know uh 806 00:28:08,070 --> 00:28:05,520 extinctions you know for instance 807 00:28:10,070 --> 00:28:08,080 you know the tivonian extinction uh the 808 00:28:11,190 --> 00:28:10,080 permian triassic border i mean we're 809 00:28:14,230 --> 00:28:11,200 going back to obviously the 810 00:28:17,269 --> 00:28:14,240 to the the eras that are uh you know 811 00:28:17,990 --> 00:28:17,279 gosh uh half a billion years ago you 812 00:28:20,230 --> 00:28:18,000 know 813 00:28:21,590 --> 00:28:20,240 and then so it just goes on and on you 814 00:28:23,590 --> 00:28:21,600 know the you know we had the permian 815 00:28:25,269 --> 00:28:23,600 extinction triassic you know which 816 00:28:26,789 --> 00:28:25,279 and of course the cretaceous extinction 817 00:28:29,269 --> 00:28:26,799 that we just talked about that's the one 818 00:28:31,909 --> 00:28:29,279 that people seem to 819 00:28:33,190 --> 00:28:31,919 but earth understand been periodically 820 00:28:36,389 --> 00:28:33,200 hit 821 00:28:36,870 --> 00:28:36,399 uh by large objects from out in space 822 00:28:40,310 --> 00:28:36,880 and 823 00:28:41,750 --> 00:28:40,320 they have wiped out huge amounts of life 824 00:28:44,389 --> 00:28:41,760 on this planet you know 825 00:28:44,789 --> 00:28:44,399 and i i say one of the things i write 826 00:28:51,830 --> 00:28:44,799 about 827 00:28:53,750 --> 00:28:51,840 had the dinosaurs not become extinct 828 00:28:55,750 --> 00:28:53,760 what would have happened would they have 829 00:28:57,190 --> 00:28:55,760 developed more cranial capacity would 830 00:28:59,830 --> 00:28:57,200 they have developed the ability well 831 00:29:00,389 --> 00:28:59,840 there's actually a theory that talks 832 00:29:03,590 --> 00:29:00,399 about 833 00:29:05,590 --> 00:29:03,600 certain raptors that 834 00:29:07,269 --> 00:29:05,600 might have actually developed a larger 835 00:29:10,070 --> 00:29:07,279 cranial capacity because it looked like 836 00:29:12,230 --> 00:29:10,080 when they were extincted 837 00:29:13,830 --> 00:29:12,240 that they were actually growing larger 838 00:29:17,269 --> 00:29:13,840 brains at the time 839 00:29:19,110 --> 00:29:17,279 so perhaps that was a non-dead end 840 00:29:21,430 --> 00:29:19,120 in their in the path that could have 841 00:29:23,750 --> 00:29:21,440 gone to a more intelligent species 842 00:29:24,950 --> 00:29:23,760 so you know you would have said you know 843 00:29:25,990 --> 00:29:24,960 today you would have said well welcome 844 00:29:27,510 --> 00:29:26,000 you're our guest mark 845 00:29:29,269 --> 00:29:27,520 to the show you know so mark how are 846 00:29:31,110 --> 00:29:29,279 those scales and how the yellow eyes ah 847 00:29:33,029 --> 00:29:31,120 doing great doing great you know i mean 848 00:29:34,789 --> 00:29:33,039 we would have had a different type of 849 00:29:37,590 --> 00:29:34,799 conversation for sure so 850 00:29:39,350 --> 00:29:37,600 what you say is will life would life be 851 00:29:41,190 --> 00:29:39,360 the same elsewhere probably not 852 00:29:42,470 --> 00:29:41,200 and would we even look the same a 853 00:29:44,710 --> 00:29:42,480 million years from now 854 00:29:46,389 --> 00:29:44,720 certainly not you know i mean just from 855 00:29:49,430 --> 00:29:46,399 the 1700s 856 00:29:50,230 --> 00:29:49,440 we've grown in height if you've ever 857 00:29:52,630 --> 00:29:50,240 been on a 858 00:29:54,230 --> 00:29:52,640 sailing ship you know by base of the 859 00:29:55,909 --> 00:29:54,240 size of the bunks and the 860 00:29:58,310 --> 00:29:55,919 ceilings you can tell that you would 861 00:30:01,669 --> 00:29:58,320 have been a very tall man back then 862 00:30:03,750 --> 00:30:01,679 that's right yeah um let's see there's a 863 00:30:05,029 --> 00:30:03,760 someone wanted you to elaborate a little 864 00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:05,039 bit on 865 00:30:08,789 --> 00:30:07,440 and i do want to apologize again to our 866 00:30:10,230 --> 00:30:08,799 live listeners um 867 00:30:12,230 --> 00:30:10,240 just keep in mind you can always listen 868 00:30:14,549 --> 00:30:12,240 to the podcast it's it's uh 869 00:30:15,830 --> 00:30:14,559 very clear on this end there is some 870 00:30:18,389 --> 00:30:15,840 audio issues so 871 00:30:19,909 --> 00:30:18,399 i do apologize if you wanted to uh still 872 00:30:21,549 --> 00:30:19,919 wanted to jump in 873 00:30:23,269 --> 00:30:21,559 to the chat room you can at 874 00:30:25,750 --> 00:30:23,279 podcastufo.com 875 00:30:27,110 --> 00:30:25,760 and um it's people are saying it's 876 00:30:30,950 --> 00:30:27,120 working fine now but we'll 877 00:30:33,750 --> 00:30:30,960 we'll see so um one of the questions is 878 00:30:34,470 --> 00:30:33,760 how does some string theory play into 879 00:30:37,269 --> 00:30:34,480 all this 880 00:30:38,789 --> 00:30:37,279 as far as you're concerned well when we 881 00:30:41,510 --> 00:30:38,799 look into string theory there's 882 00:30:41,990 --> 00:30:41,520 there's things that within string theory 883 00:30:45,830 --> 00:30:42,000 and 884 00:30:48,870 --> 00:30:45,840 i say this in in the best possible 885 00:30:49,830 --> 00:30:48,880 generic explanation because otherwise it 886 00:30:53,750 --> 00:30:49,840 quickly gets 887 00:30:55,269 --> 00:30:53,760 rather obtuse you know but 888 00:30:57,190 --> 00:30:55,279 because string theory is anything but 889 00:30:59,509 --> 00:30:57,200 intuitive but if you look 890 00:31:00,710 --> 00:30:59,519 further into the concepts behind string 891 00:31:01,590 --> 00:31:00,720 three one of the things that we would be 892 00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:01,600 looking for 893 00:31:06,470 --> 00:31:05,760 is a way to exploit other dimensionality 894 00:31:09,509 --> 00:31:06,480 to space 895 00:31:11,029 --> 00:31:09,519 now if you think about it here on earth 896 00:31:13,669 --> 00:31:11,039 and in our universe 897 00:31:15,269 --> 00:31:13,679 we know what light is we can generate it 898 00:31:18,710 --> 00:31:15,279 we can reflect it 899 00:31:21,909 --> 00:31:18,720 we can work with it we know that 900 00:31:24,070 --> 00:31:21,919 it you it is both a wave nature and 901 00:31:27,350 --> 00:31:24,080 particle nature 902 00:31:28,549 --> 00:31:27,360 we understand electricity we understand 903 00:31:31,830 --> 00:31:28,559 magnetism 904 00:31:33,669 --> 00:31:31,840 we can generate magnetic fields we can 905 00:31:35,990 --> 00:31:33,679 modify magnetic fields 906 00:31:37,830 --> 00:31:36,000 we can generate electricity we can 907 00:31:40,870 --> 00:31:37,840 modify electricity 908 00:31:41,830 --> 00:31:40,880 but what's the one force that we use 909 00:31:43,909 --> 00:31:41,840 every day that 910 00:31:45,590 --> 00:31:43,919 our life depends on that the sun is 911 00:31:47,350 --> 00:31:45,600 stable because of 912 00:31:49,909 --> 00:31:47,360 that we don't know anything about other 913 00:31:53,750 --> 00:31:49,919 than how to calculate its value 914 00:31:57,110 --> 00:31:53,760 that's gravity so now 915 00:31:59,029 --> 00:31:57,120 one of the things that we can use string 916 00:32:00,870 --> 00:31:59,039 theory for and other 917 00:32:02,389 --> 00:32:00,880 corollaries to string theory and again 918 00:32:05,269 --> 00:32:02,399 this is very generic 919 00:32:06,710 --> 00:32:05,279 is we would have a better understanding 920 00:32:10,389 --> 00:32:06,720 of what gravity is 921 00:32:10,870 --> 00:32:10,399 because if you look at how the universe 922 00:32:13,990 --> 00:32:10,880 was 923 00:32:15,590 --> 00:32:14,000 created the theory of the big bang where 924 00:32:17,190 --> 00:32:15,600 the primordial super atom exploded 925 00:32:19,830 --> 00:32:17,200 outward right well 926 00:32:20,389 --> 00:32:19,840 if you had a balloon that was inflating 927 00:32:21,750 --> 00:32:20,399 then 928 00:32:23,669 --> 00:32:21,760 every point on the surface of that 929 00:32:25,350 --> 00:32:23,679 balloon would be pulling at every other 930 00:32:27,590 --> 00:32:25,360 point on the surface of the balloon 931 00:32:28,710 --> 00:32:27,600 it wants to collapse by its nature 932 00:32:30,389 --> 00:32:28,720 correct 933 00:32:32,230 --> 00:32:30,399 well in the same way gravity is an 934 00:32:33,990 --> 00:32:32,240 attractive force so every point in the 935 00:32:35,110 --> 00:32:34,000 universe is pulling on every other point 936 00:32:37,669 --> 00:32:35,120 in the universe 937 00:32:38,310 --> 00:32:37,679 albeit small over distance i mean 938 00:32:40,230 --> 00:32:38,320 gravity 939 00:32:41,590 --> 00:32:40,240 you know falls off you know quite 940 00:32:44,630 --> 00:32:41,600 rapidly right so 941 00:32:45,830 --> 00:32:44,640 if you look at how that works with an 942 00:32:48,870 --> 00:32:45,840 expanding universe 943 00:32:51,990 --> 00:32:48,880 we would expect to see that the universe 944 00:32:55,430 --> 00:32:52,000 with it was either slowing down 945 00:32:56,789 --> 00:32:55,440 contracting or just 946 00:32:58,870 --> 00:32:56,799 holding a steady state those are those 947 00:33:01,590 --> 00:32:58,880 three theories from way way way way back 948 00:33:02,870 --> 00:33:01,600 right however one of the most perplexing 949 00:33:04,389 --> 00:33:02,880 things that was found was that the 950 00:33:05,509 --> 00:33:04,399 universe is actually accelerating 951 00:33:12,389 --> 00:33:05,519 outward 952 00:33:13,590 --> 00:33:12,399 this means that something is attracting 953 00:33:15,350 --> 00:33:13,600 the mass 954 00:33:17,029 --> 00:33:15,360 from outside the boundary of our 955 00:33:19,590 --> 00:33:17,039 expanding universe 956 00:33:21,190 --> 00:33:19,600 and pulling it outward at a faster rate 957 00:33:21,590 --> 00:33:21,200 now when i say accelerating i don't mean 958 00:33:23,269 --> 00:33:21,600 it's just 959 00:33:26,389 --> 00:33:23,279 moving fast outward it's actually going 960 00:33:29,830 --> 00:33:26,399 faster and faster outward 961 00:33:32,149 --> 00:33:29,840 now you see that's where 962 00:33:34,070 --> 00:33:32,159 that's where we scratch our heads when 963 00:33:36,789 --> 00:33:34,080 we try to put this into an understanding 964 00:33:39,190 --> 00:33:36,799 with our standard model of astrophysics 965 00:33:40,230 --> 00:33:39,200 and we can't quite do it so we have to 966 00:33:42,630 --> 00:33:40,240 look at other 967 00:33:43,909 --> 00:33:42,640 sometimes more exotic ways to explain it 968 00:33:46,070 --> 00:33:43,919 dark matter 969 00:33:47,830 --> 00:33:46,080 uh is matter that we only see 970 00:33:51,509 --> 00:33:47,840 interacting 971 00:33:54,950 --> 00:33:51,519 indirectly because it's go ahead say it 972 00:33:56,549 --> 00:33:54,960 dark okay but um 973 00:33:58,230 --> 00:33:56,559 the other thing that's important is dark 974 00:34:01,110 --> 00:33:58,240 energy and dark energy 975 00:34:01,990 --> 00:34:01,120 seems to be uh one of the culprits 976 00:34:03,750 --> 00:34:02,000 that's 977 00:34:06,230 --> 00:34:03,760 making our universe expand at an 978 00:34:07,750 --> 00:34:06,240 accelerating rate so 979 00:34:09,909 --> 00:34:07,760 dark energy is certainly one of those 980 00:34:11,030 --> 00:34:09,919 places we have to understand it's 981 00:34:11,829 --> 00:34:11,040 certainly a concept we have to 982 00:34:13,909 --> 00:34:11,839 understand 983 00:34:16,470 --> 00:34:13,919 so that we can start to harness uh 984 00:34:17,909 --> 00:34:16,480 potential you know gravitic drives 985 00:34:19,750 --> 00:34:17,919 if we are going to do that in the future 986 00:34:20,069 --> 00:34:19,760 now how are we going to do that we don't 987 00:34:22,710 --> 00:34:20,079 know 988 00:34:23,589 --> 00:34:22,720 yet because the physics hasn't been 989 00:34:25,510 --> 00:34:23,599 written yet 990 00:34:27,190 --> 00:34:25,520 that can really understand and be 991 00:34:30,550 --> 00:34:27,200 accepted by a 992 00:34:34,230 --> 00:34:32,790 how the universe works we don't know how 993 00:34:37,349 --> 00:34:34,240 that all comes together 994 00:34:40,550 --> 00:34:37,359 yet so propulsive concepts 995 00:34:42,950 --> 00:34:40,560 um in 1994 miguel alcubierre came up 996 00:34:45,349 --> 00:34:42,960 with something called the alcabery drive 997 00:34:46,869 --> 00:34:45,359 now colloquially we call it the warp 998 00:34:48,470 --> 00:34:46,879 drive right and everyone thinks star 999 00:34:51,669 --> 00:34:48,480 trek it's just sci-fi 1000 00:34:52,869 --> 00:34:51,679 well actually it's not gene roddenberry 1001 00:34:55,829 --> 00:34:52,879 although a writer 1002 00:34:56,310 --> 00:34:55,839 he was an avid reader and the concept of 1003 00:35:00,630 --> 00:34:56,320 warp 1004 00:35:03,670 --> 00:35:00,640 type systems didn't really 1005 00:35:04,630 --> 00:35:03,680 exist in in a in a fully developed 1006 00:35:06,630 --> 00:35:04,640 manner back then 1007 00:35:08,630 --> 00:35:06,640 but there were hints that down the line 1008 00:35:09,430 --> 00:35:08,640 we might be able to alter the fabric of 1009 00:35:11,910 --> 00:35:09,440 space 1010 00:35:12,710 --> 00:35:11,920 and that's a that's a term right there 1011 00:35:15,190 --> 00:35:12,720 that 1012 00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:15,200 you know people really they they'll say 1013 00:35:17,589 --> 00:35:16,720 it but they don't really know what that 1014 00:35:20,710 --> 00:35:17,599 means 1015 00:35:23,829 --> 00:35:20,720 you know the fabric of space 1016 00:35:25,670 --> 00:35:23,839 uh the time space continuum sounds like 1017 00:35:27,589 --> 00:35:25,680 a tv show but that's actually 1018 00:35:29,270 --> 00:35:27,599 a physics concept an astronomical 1019 00:35:32,230 --> 00:35:29,280 astrophysical concept 1020 00:35:33,670 --> 00:35:32,240 because the universe is not just an 1021 00:35:38,470 --> 00:35:33,680 empty 1022 00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:38,480 going on there's forces at play there's 1023 00:35:42,470 --> 00:35:40,800 global forces micro forces 1024 00:35:44,230 --> 00:35:42,480 that are all at play and they're all 1025 00:35:44,630 --> 00:35:44,240 working together and one of the things 1026 00:35:51,589 --> 00:35:44,640 that 1027 00:35:54,470 --> 00:35:51,599 and and 1028 00:35:56,310 --> 00:35:54,480 that's something that we called you know 1029 00:35:58,069 --> 00:35:56,320 gut you know grand unified theory 1030 00:36:00,950 --> 00:35:58,079 in the early days but it's really come 1031 00:36:03,829 --> 00:36:00,960 to mean something much more 1032 00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:03,839 because what happens is when you look at 1033 00:36:07,589 --> 00:36:05,040 the universe now 1034 00:36:08,870 --> 00:36:07,599 and as we understand it we actually see 1035 00:36:11,589 --> 00:36:08,880 that 1036 00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:11,599 we know far less than we thought we did 1037 00:36:15,750 --> 00:36:12,480 um 1038 00:36:19,670 --> 00:36:15,760 you know and as we try to learn 1039 00:36:22,710 --> 00:36:22,069 a gravitic drive a drive that uses 1040 00:36:25,990 --> 00:36:22,720 gravity 1041 00:36:29,670 --> 00:36:26,000 to operate we don't have that physics 1042 00:36:32,950 --> 00:36:29,680 in place yet and so we need to find 1043 00:36:35,750 --> 00:36:32,960 ways to expand that 1044 00:36:37,190 --> 00:36:35,760 avenue for us now we don't we oh sorry i 1045 00:36:39,510 --> 00:36:37,200 turned this down 1046 00:36:40,390 --> 00:36:39,520 i don't know if you heard that noise no 1047 00:36:42,790 --> 00:36:40,400 no 1048 00:36:45,589 --> 00:36:42,800 okay good and i just sounded like a fool 1049 00:36:52,630 --> 00:36:48,710 so in any case 1050 00:36:54,630 --> 00:36:52,640 when we look at dark energy for instance 1051 00:36:55,670 --> 00:36:54,640 that is a place we need to go and when 1052 00:36:58,470 --> 00:36:55,680 we explore 1053 00:36:59,910 --> 00:36:58,480 uh string theory and other uh 1054 00:37:01,910 --> 00:36:59,920 corollaries we're gonna 1055 00:37:03,990 --> 00:37:01,920 to these theories we're gonna actually 1056 00:37:07,030 --> 00:37:04,000 have a better handle on these things 1057 00:37:07,990 --> 00:37:07,040 the trouble is there's a lot of argument 1058 00:37:09,589 --> 00:37:08,000 and that's why i 1059 00:37:11,430 --> 00:37:09,599 kind of sound a little tentative right 1060 00:37:12,710 --> 00:37:11,440 now because i don't want to say 1061 00:37:14,630 --> 00:37:12,720 something that's going to 1062 00:37:16,390 --> 00:37:14,640 be expressed as a fact tomorrow when it 1063 00:37:19,030 --> 00:37:16,400 really isn't yet a fact 1064 00:37:19,750 --> 00:37:19,040 but there's an awful lot of these 1065 00:37:22,150 --> 00:37:19,760 theories 1066 00:37:23,430 --> 00:37:22,160 that still need to be proved now michio 1067 00:37:27,030 --> 00:37:23,440 kaiku he's 1068 00:37:27,510 --> 00:37:27,040 he's he is a a physicist in new york 1069 00:37:29,670 --> 00:37:27,520 who's 1070 00:37:30,790 --> 00:37:29,680 really uh well an astrophysicist and he 1071 00:37:32,950 --> 00:37:30,800 actually 1072 00:37:33,990 --> 00:37:32,960 feels that string theory is very very 1073 00:37:37,910 --> 00:37:34,000 important 1074 00:37:39,589 --> 00:37:37,920 um and i i have to agree with that 1075 00:37:41,430 --> 00:37:39,599 because i think you know 1076 00:37:43,109 --> 00:37:41,440 and he doesn't need my agreement but i 1077 00:37:46,230 --> 00:37:43,119 do think that he has to 1078 00:37:47,750 --> 00:37:46,240 um you know also prove why he thinks 1079 00:37:50,230 --> 00:37:47,760 it's important and he tries 1080 00:37:52,390 --> 00:37:50,240 but the problem is that the everyday 1081 00:37:54,950 --> 00:37:52,400 person has to understand string theory 1082 00:37:55,430 --> 00:37:54,960 because that way they understand why for 1083 00:37:58,069 --> 00:37:55,440 instance 1084 00:37:58,630 --> 00:37:58,079 money might be allocated to research you 1085 00:38:00,310 --> 00:37:58,640 know they don't 1086 00:38:02,150 --> 00:38:00,320 they don't want to research you know 1087 00:38:03,430 --> 00:38:02,160 what what is that i mean 1088 00:38:06,069 --> 00:38:03,440 this just sounds like some silly 1089 00:38:07,349 --> 00:38:06,079 intellectual pursuit shouldn't we be 1090 00:38:10,310 --> 00:38:07,359 feeding the hungry 1091 00:38:11,510 --> 00:38:10,320 well yeah but then again if you could 1092 00:38:14,069 --> 00:38:11,520 find out a way to 1093 00:38:14,790 --> 00:38:14,079 create an anti-gravity device then guess 1094 00:38:16,310 --> 00:38:14,800 what 1095 00:38:18,230 --> 00:38:16,320 plane flights are going to cost an awful 1096 00:38:21,430 --> 00:38:18,240 lot less and aid flights 1097 00:38:23,589 --> 00:38:21,440 will will be so much cheaper to fly and 1098 00:38:25,510 --> 00:38:23,599 the concept of needing money to get 1099 00:38:27,349 --> 00:38:25,520 some place on earth is going to go right 1100 00:38:29,430 --> 00:38:27,359 down the drain you're not going to need 1101 00:38:31,589 --> 00:38:29,440 to worry about that anymore so 1102 00:38:32,710 --> 00:38:31,599 these pursuits do have a humanitarian 1103 00:38:34,710 --> 00:38:32,720 end you know and 1104 00:38:35,910 --> 00:38:34,720 and you know um i don't know if you're 1105 00:38:38,950 --> 00:38:35,920 familiar with uh 1106 00:38:41,030 --> 00:38:38,960 yeah in terms of again advancing our our 1107 00:38:42,950 --> 00:38:41,040 our our physics so to speak into the 1108 00:38:46,230 --> 00:38:42,960 world of string theory and beyond 1109 00:38:46,950 --> 00:38:46,240 but um nikolai kardashev came up with 1110 00:38:49,589 --> 00:38:46,960 the 1111 00:38:51,349 --> 00:38:49,599 uh type one type two and type three 1112 00:38:52,950 --> 00:38:51,359 definitions for different societies you 1113 00:38:54,470 --> 00:38:52,960 know a type one society 1114 00:38:56,470 --> 00:38:54,480 you're familiar with this i think some 1115 00:38:57,270 --> 00:38:56,480 of your listeners your listeners are 1116 00:38:59,910 --> 00:38:57,280 probably very 1117 00:39:01,670 --> 00:38:59,920 familiar with it well the type 1 society 1118 00:39:05,030 --> 00:39:01,680 we're about 300 years from that 1119 00:39:07,750 --> 00:39:05,040 and that that's uh that can leave earth 1120 00:39:08,470 --> 00:39:07,760 well a type 1 society knows how to use 1121 00:39:12,630 --> 00:39:08,480 and 1122 00:39:15,589 --> 00:39:12,640 create energy from non 1123 00:39:17,190 --> 00:39:15,599 um well non-depleting sources for 1124 00:39:19,910 --> 00:39:17,200 instance the sun 1125 00:39:20,470 --> 00:39:19,920 wave action the wind action of the earth 1126 00:39:22,069 --> 00:39:20,480 um 1127 00:39:24,310 --> 00:39:22,079 the actual dynamo in the core of the 1128 00:39:27,109 --> 00:39:24,320 earth itself um 1129 00:39:29,030 --> 00:39:27,119 gravitational interaction among you know 1130 00:39:31,750 --> 00:39:29,040 the earth and moon 1131 00:39:34,310 --> 00:39:31,760 so there's ways okay and of course 1132 00:39:36,870 --> 00:39:34,320 that's a type 1 society now 1133 00:39:37,910 --> 00:39:36,880 type 2 would take that a step farther 1134 00:39:40,550 --> 00:39:37,920 and a type 2 1135 00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:40,560 would then be able to harness not just 1136 00:39:44,150 --> 00:39:42,640 all the resources say that the earth had 1137 00:39:46,470 --> 00:39:44,160 but it would use energy in a much 1138 00:39:48,310 --> 00:39:46,480 grander scale and it would use 1139 00:39:49,589 --> 00:39:48,320 i i know right the thing you're saying 1140 00:39:52,230 --> 00:39:49,599 now that's true 1141 00:39:53,270 --> 00:39:52,240 um just uh i'm sorry i didn't mean to no 1142 00:39:54,710 --> 00:39:53,280 that's fine 1143 00:39:56,310 --> 00:39:54,720 one of the things i was just thinking of 1144 00:39:58,310 --> 00:39:56,320 though can you imagine 1145 00:40:00,630 --> 00:39:58,320 how much of a fight it would be if there 1146 00:40:04,230 --> 00:40:00,640 was a technology breakthrough 1147 00:40:06,790 --> 00:40:04,240 that would change the paradigm of say 1148 00:40:07,270 --> 00:40:06,800 dependency on oil and things like that i 1149 00:40:10,390 --> 00:40:07,280 mean 1150 00:40:13,670 --> 00:40:10,400 you know think of who would kill for 1151 00:40:15,270 --> 00:40:13,680 to stop something like that yeah 1152 00:40:17,349 --> 00:40:15,280 you're absolutely right that that that 1153 00:40:20,790 --> 00:40:17,359 is something we face as a species 1154 00:40:22,470 --> 00:40:20,800 um however there are also a tremendous 1155 00:40:24,069 --> 00:40:22,480 number of benefits to being able to go 1156 00:40:26,870 --> 00:40:24,079 into that arena because 1157 00:40:28,710 --> 00:40:26,880 if power companies uh were able to 1158 00:40:31,829 --> 00:40:28,720 utilize an anti-gravity 1159 00:40:34,870 --> 00:40:31,839 technology or uh be able to harness 1160 00:40:35,829 --> 00:40:34,880 energy from the sun a thousand times 1161 00:40:37,349 --> 00:40:35,839 just even just 1162 00:40:40,150 --> 00:40:37,359 a thousand times more efficient than 1163 00:40:42,470 --> 00:40:40,160 they do now efficiently 1164 00:40:44,230 --> 00:40:42,480 then there are plenty of opportunities 1165 00:40:45,030 --> 00:40:44,240 and new technologies that can be spun 1166 00:40:46,870 --> 00:40:45,040 out of that 1167 00:40:49,109 --> 00:40:46,880 the people that use those technologies 1168 00:40:50,390 --> 00:40:49,119 will become the future trillionaires you 1169 00:40:51,910 --> 00:40:50,400 know if they want to look at it from a 1170 00:40:54,150 --> 00:40:51,920 business perspective 1171 00:40:55,589 --> 00:40:54,160 and but there's a lot of things we have 1172 00:40:58,790 --> 00:40:55,599 that are weak right now 1173 00:41:01,589 --> 00:40:58,800 we have an above ground energy grid 1174 00:41:04,150 --> 00:41:01,599 and it's subject to weather it's subject 1175 00:41:06,790 --> 00:41:04,160 to solar storms it's subject to 1176 00:41:08,390 --> 00:41:06,800 accidental destruction it's subject to 1177 00:41:11,910 --> 00:41:08,400 all kinds of things and 1178 00:41:13,829 --> 00:41:11,920 you know that energy is not free 1179 00:41:15,589 --> 00:41:13,839 um and i'm not going to go down a path 1180 00:41:16,390 --> 00:41:15,599 of free energy because in physics there 1181 00:41:18,710 --> 00:41:16,400 really isn't a 1182 00:41:20,950 --> 00:41:18,720 free energy and i know there's a lot of 1183 00:41:22,950 --> 00:41:20,960 devices out there that purport that but 1184 00:41:24,470 --> 00:41:22,960 all the ones that i've actually analyzed 1185 00:41:27,990 --> 00:41:24,480 because i have gotten my fair share 1186 00:41:30,390 --> 00:41:28,000 of those as parts of cases uh have been 1187 00:41:31,829 --> 00:41:30,400 you know uh not the real thing i'm not 1188 00:41:35,190 --> 00:41:31,839 saying it isn't out there but 1189 00:41:35,990 --> 00:41:35,200 um i think we need to be within uh the 1190 00:41:37,829 --> 00:41:36,000 next 1191 00:41:39,750 --> 00:41:37,839 level of physical understanding before 1192 00:41:42,069 --> 00:41:39,760 we'll actually be able to see that but 1193 00:41:44,390 --> 00:41:42,079 anyway you're right a lot of people are 1194 00:41:48,069 --> 00:41:44,400 going to fight for this technology 1195 00:41:50,470 --> 00:41:48,079 except if the energy is created by 1196 00:41:51,990 --> 00:41:50,480 a global consortium and then made 1197 00:41:53,990 --> 00:41:52,000 available to everybody 1198 00:41:55,030 --> 00:41:54,000 who's to fight for it you know it's 1199 00:41:57,030 --> 00:41:55,040 available to everybody 1200 00:41:58,630 --> 00:41:57,040 you know and i know that that's 1201 00:42:02,710 --> 00:41:58,640 simplifying a huge 1202 00:42:04,790 --> 00:42:02,720 uh hornet's nest of politics and 1203 00:42:05,829 --> 00:42:04,800 that's one of the problems though of 1204 00:42:09,990 --> 00:42:05,839 growing as a 1205 00:42:12,150 --> 00:42:10,000 as a planet 1206 00:42:13,190 --> 00:42:12,160 that's why when a lot of people talk 1207 00:42:14,790 --> 00:42:13,200 about well 1208 00:42:16,390 --> 00:42:14,800 maybe we'll be able to leave the earth 1209 00:42:16,950 --> 00:42:16,400 if we could ever stop fighting amongst 1210 00:42:19,910 --> 00:42:16,960 ourselves 1211 00:42:20,710 --> 00:42:19,920 yeah well that's also true but i think 1212 00:42:23,589 --> 00:42:20,720 that war 1213 00:42:24,710 --> 00:42:23,599 and and those kinds of squabbles what 1214 00:42:26,870 --> 00:42:24,720 are they over 1215 00:42:28,390 --> 00:42:26,880 i mean there are religious undertones to 1216 00:42:31,190 --> 00:42:28,400 a lot of it but you know what 1217 00:42:31,829 --> 00:42:31,200 a lot of the wars are over energy and 1218 00:42:38,309 --> 00:42:31,839 who owns 1219 00:42:40,550 --> 00:42:38,319 an ultra superior 1220 00:42:42,230 --> 00:42:40,560 solar panel was out there not with an 1221 00:42:45,270 --> 00:42:42,240 efficiency of like 42 1222 00:42:47,829 --> 00:42:45,280 which some can even do now but 1223 00:42:49,030 --> 00:42:47,839 95 and of course you say well how can 1224 00:42:52,069 --> 00:42:49,040 that possibly be 1225 00:42:54,550 --> 00:42:52,079 well there are ways because 1226 00:42:56,550 --> 00:42:54,560 as we progress we will improve on all of 1227 00:42:59,750 --> 00:42:56,560 the technology that we tend to 1228 00:43:00,790 --> 00:42:59,760 create here on earth and as a type one 1229 00:43:03,589 --> 00:43:00,800 society we will 1230 00:43:04,790 --> 00:43:03,599 use geothermal we'll use sun we'll use 1231 00:43:07,109 --> 00:43:04,800 wave energy 1232 00:43:07,910 --> 00:43:07,119 and so forth i developed um gulfstream 1233 00:43:10,470 --> 00:43:07,920 windmills 1234 00:43:12,309 --> 00:43:10,480 that would were that would be so big 1235 00:43:15,589 --> 00:43:12,319 that they would actually 1236 00:43:16,550 --> 00:43:15,599 um not even uh hurt a whale if it was 1237 00:43:19,589 --> 00:43:16,560 going through it 1238 00:43:21,750 --> 00:43:19,599 because they're basically giant fabric 1239 00:43:23,270 --> 00:43:21,760 veins on the windmill that would flex 1240 00:43:26,470 --> 00:43:23,280 with a creature and then retain their 1241 00:43:29,109 --> 00:43:26,480 shape once they got spinning again so 1242 00:43:31,190 --> 00:43:29,119 and those could generate a huge amount 1243 00:43:34,710 --> 00:43:31,200 of torque and a huge amount of 1244 00:43:36,790 --> 00:43:34,720 uh energy i mean little things like that 1245 00:43:39,430 --> 00:43:36,800 so bottom line is that there's a lot of 1246 00:43:42,630 --> 00:43:39,440 energy energy sources here on earth 1247 00:43:45,430 --> 00:43:42,640 the most important thing though is that 1248 00:43:46,790 --> 00:43:45,440 you have to understand that every single 1249 00:43:49,270 --> 00:43:46,800 energy generation 1250 00:43:51,349 --> 00:43:49,280 technique that we use except for nuclear 1251 00:43:54,790 --> 00:43:51,359 fission which is dangerous as all 1252 00:43:58,150 --> 00:43:54,800 get out is done by 1253 00:44:00,390 --> 00:43:58,160 burning dead things and that 1254 00:44:01,430 --> 00:44:00,400 is something that is gonna end we're 1255 00:44:05,030 --> 00:44:01,440 gonna run out of 1256 00:44:06,550 --> 00:44:05,040 dead things to burn so a lot of free 1257 00:44:09,349 --> 00:44:06,560 energy like i said 1258 00:44:09,990 --> 00:44:09,359 wave action you know what waves go up 1259 00:44:12,150 --> 00:44:10,000 and down 1260 00:44:14,470 --> 00:44:12,160 all day long i don't know a couple of 1261 00:44:16,470 --> 00:44:14,480 little bobbers out there that could 1262 00:44:18,550 --> 00:44:16,480 you know harness the energy and then 1263 00:44:20,710 --> 00:44:18,560 just put half a million of them 1264 00:44:22,309 --> 00:44:20,720 uh along the fringe of a of a 1265 00:44:24,309 --> 00:44:22,319 uninhabited harbor 1266 00:44:25,430 --> 00:44:24,319 um and you know you're getting free 1267 00:44:28,470 --> 00:44:25,440 energy 24 1268 00:44:29,910 --> 00:44:28,480 7. you know the sun is the generator of 1269 00:44:31,670 --> 00:44:29,920 all energy as they say 1270 00:44:33,589 --> 00:44:31,680 with the wind and you name it and 1271 00:44:36,630 --> 00:44:33,599 everything but also 1272 00:44:39,750 --> 00:44:36,640 if there's a lot of energy stored 1273 00:44:40,790 --> 00:44:39,760 in dead things compared to the energy 1274 00:44:42,950 --> 00:44:40,800 you can grab 1275 00:44:43,910 --> 00:44:42,960 that's live from you know the sun itself 1276 00:44:45,589 --> 00:44:43,920 which is 1277 00:44:47,030 --> 00:44:45,599 uh but you're right you know eventually 1278 00:44:49,349 --> 00:44:47,040 we'll we'll get these things 1279 00:44:50,870 --> 00:44:49,359 perfected more but you said something 1280 00:44:52,470 --> 00:44:50,880 very important though 1281 00:44:54,230 --> 00:44:52,480 there's a lot of energy stored in dead 1282 00:44:56,309 --> 00:44:54,240 things right 1283 00:44:57,750 --> 00:44:56,319 right now we're trying to acquire energy 1284 00:45:00,710 --> 00:44:57,760 from the sun 1285 00:45:01,670 --> 00:45:00,720 on earth through a large atmosphere 1286 00:45:03,990 --> 00:45:01,680 that's fickle 1287 00:45:06,309 --> 00:45:04,000 fickle at best where much of that energy 1288 00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:06,319 is reflected back off into space 1289 00:45:10,069 --> 00:45:08,800 so what we need to do is have energy 1290 00:45:13,510 --> 00:45:10,079 generating facilities 1291 00:45:15,030 --> 00:45:13,520 in space and sci-fi as that sounds 1292 00:45:16,550 --> 00:45:15,040 it's on the books it's something that 1293 00:45:19,910 --> 00:45:16,560 will happen and the reason 1294 00:45:22,790 --> 00:45:19,920 is because we know of the inefficiencies 1295 00:45:23,430 --> 00:45:22,800 on earth put the same solar panel up in 1296 00:45:26,150 --> 00:45:23,440 space 1297 00:45:27,910 --> 00:45:26,160 and you get more efficiency because you 1298 00:45:29,510 --> 00:45:27,920 have more direct sunlight without 1299 00:45:31,109 --> 00:45:29,520 anything in between 1300 00:45:32,870 --> 00:45:31,119 so it'll be running at maximum 1301 00:45:36,069 --> 00:45:32,880 efficiency all the time 1302 00:45:38,230 --> 00:45:36,079 close to maximum efficiency so 1303 00:45:41,030 --> 00:45:38,240 if you take the type 1 society is one 1304 00:45:43,990 --> 00:45:41,040 that takes a lot of energy from its sun 1305 00:45:44,309 --> 00:45:44,000 has no longer been burning dead things 1306 00:45:52,150 --> 00:45:44,319 on 1307 00:45:53,109 --> 00:45:52,160 that are renewable then we're looking at 1308 00:45:54,950 --> 00:45:53,119 something important 1309 00:45:56,150 --> 00:45:54,960 fusion i don't know if you're familiar 1310 00:45:59,270 --> 00:45:56,160 maybe you are 1311 00:46:02,150 --> 00:45:59,280 fusion research right now commands more 1312 00:46:04,550 --> 00:46:02,160 research dollars than every other 1313 00:46:06,630 --> 00:46:04,560 alternative energy combined 1314 00:46:07,990 --> 00:46:06,640 and that's because they believe fusion 1315 00:46:11,109 --> 00:46:08,000 is a coming reality 1316 00:46:14,230 --> 00:46:11,119 a sustainable reaction will happen 1317 00:46:17,670 --> 00:46:14,240 and you know what if fusion goes amok 1318 00:46:19,030 --> 00:46:17,680 uh the reaction shuts off you know 1319 00:46:20,870 --> 00:46:19,040 it's like you know okay pour out that 1320 00:46:22,550 --> 00:46:20,880 glass of water yeah okay because you 1321 00:46:26,230 --> 00:46:22,560 make water and you make uh 1322 00:46:27,990 --> 00:46:26,240 you know you need tritium okay which is 1323 00:46:29,510 --> 00:46:28,000 made in a breeder reactor before going 1324 00:46:32,309 --> 00:46:29,520 through the fusion process 1325 00:46:33,750 --> 00:46:32,319 but this tritium is interesting because 1326 00:46:37,030 --> 00:46:33,760 you could 1327 00:46:38,630 --> 00:46:37,040 you um 1328 00:46:41,990 --> 00:46:38,640 most of the tritium that's in your body 1329 00:46:44,550 --> 00:46:42,000 right now was inhaled 1330 00:46:45,670 --> 00:46:44,560 but it's not cumulative it also leaves 1331 00:46:49,109 --> 00:46:45,680 your body 1332 00:46:51,670 --> 00:46:49,119 so and it can't get through your skin 1333 00:46:52,550 --> 00:46:51,680 so you could rub it on your skin and be 1334 00:46:55,270 --> 00:46:52,560 perfectly safe 1335 00:46:56,150 --> 00:46:55,280 until you sniffed your arm you know 1336 00:46:57,990 --> 00:46:56,160 where you put it in 1337 00:47:00,390 --> 00:46:58,000 and then you have some that you ingest 1338 00:47:00,870 --> 00:47:00,400 but so so tritium is a relatively low 1339 00:47:03,270 --> 00:47:00,880 level 1340 00:47:04,470 --> 00:47:03,280 radioactive contaminant that is required 1341 00:47:08,390 --> 00:47:04,480 as a fuel 1342 00:47:10,230 --> 00:47:08,400 in the process and it's easy to make 1343 00:47:11,750 --> 00:47:10,240 and it's something that is easy to 1344 00:47:14,870 --> 00:47:11,760 control and like i said 1345 00:47:16,550 --> 00:47:14,880 a fusion reactor uh when the energy is 1346 00:47:19,109 --> 00:47:16,560 disrupted or if 1347 00:47:19,910 --> 00:47:19,119 electricity goes out the reaction shuts 1348 00:47:21,990 --> 00:47:19,920 off 1349 00:47:23,829 --> 00:47:22,000 unlike a fission reactor where we know 1350 00:47:24,790 --> 00:47:23,839 that we look at fukushima we know the 1351 00:47:26,950 --> 00:47:24,800 outcome 1352 00:47:28,390 --> 00:47:26,960 um you know a tsunami a tsunami would 1353 00:47:31,270 --> 00:47:28,400 shut down the plant for a while 1354 00:47:33,109 --> 00:47:31,280 if it was fusion in a fission reactor it 1355 00:47:36,230 --> 00:47:33,119 causes a potential meltdown 1356 00:47:37,349 --> 00:47:36,240 and dead zones so fission is not really 1357 00:47:41,589 --> 00:47:37,359 the best 1358 00:47:43,030 --> 00:47:41,599 generating energy but we're getting 1359 00:47:44,150 --> 00:47:43,040 there we're getting it when the fission 1360 00:47:47,190 --> 00:47:44,160 reactor goes online 1361 00:47:49,829 --> 00:47:47,200 world's gonna change 1362 00:47:51,430 --> 00:47:49,839 so the that type of energy when it 1363 00:47:53,750 --> 00:47:51,440 becomes available you see 1364 00:47:55,109 --> 00:47:53,760 it's a global research project like 1365 00:47:57,349 --> 00:47:55,119 we're talking before 1366 00:47:58,309 --> 00:47:57,359 fusion isn't going to be dominated by 1367 00:48:00,549 --> 00:47:58,319 any one company 1368 00:48:01,670 --> 00:48:00,559 because too many other people are 1369 00:48:03,270 --> 00:48:01,680 already working on it 1370 00:48:06,069 --> 00:48:03,280 and they're all going to have 1371 00:48:08,150 --> 00:48:06,079 competitive edges and competitive offers 1372 00:48:09,589 --> 00:48:08,160 so yes it will be a big business for who 1373 00:48:10,950 --> 00:48:09,599 you get your energy from 1374 00:48:12,470 --> 00:48:10,960 but then the time is going to come when 1375 00:48:13,430 --> 00:48:12,480 someone's going to generate a small 1376 00:48:15,670 --> 00:48:13,440 scale 1377 00:48:16,630 --> 00:48:15,680 energy generation system of some kind 1378 00:48:18,549 --> 00:48:16,640 for your home 1379 00:48:20,549 --> 00:48:18,559 for your personal use like walking 1380 00:48:21,990 --> 00:48:20,559 around with a pack of double a batteries 1381 00:48:24,390 --> 00:48:22,000 in your back pocket 1382 00:48:25,190 --> 00:48:24,400 you will have some other type of energy 1383 00:48:27,430 --> 00:48:25,200 system that will 1384 00:48:29,190 --> 00:48:27,440 run everything in your house and you 1385 00:48:33,030 --> 00:48:29,200 know that way the grid 1386 00:48:36,069 --> 00:48:33,040 can be dismantled the grid can go away 1387 00:48:37,349 --> 00:48:36,079 i think the people and you know in the 1388 00:48:39,270 --> 00:48:37,359 corporate world are just going to kill 1389 00:48:41,589 --> 00:48:39,280 everyone 1390 00:48:43,270 --> 00:48:41,599 well you know there is that distinct 1391 00:48:45,030 --> 00:48:43,280 possibility 1392 00:48:47,109 --> 00:48:45,040 now i want to get uh i want to get a 1393 00:48:49,109 --> 00:48:47,119 little bit more back on topic because we 1394 00:48:51,829 --> 00:48:49,119 have you know about eight minutes left 1395 00:48:52,390 --> 00:48:51,839 so um and you know as i said in the 1396 00:48:54,790 --> 00:48:52,400 beginning we're 1397 00:48:55,990 --> 00:48:54,800 going to talk about you know ufo videos 1398 00:48:58,710 --> 00:48:56,000 and and 1399 00:49:00,710 --> 00:48:58,720 photos you analyze but one of the things 1400 00:49:02,069 --> 00:49:00,720 i would like and i really do appreciate 1401 00:49:03,670 --> 00:49:02,079 you talking about all this and i can 1402 00:49:05,589 --> 00:49:03,680 talk to you for hours 1403 00:49:06,870 --> 00:49:05,599 and we have questions coming up on the 1404 00:49:08,470 --> 00:49:06,880 message board 1405 00:49:10,710 --> 00:49:08,480 that have to do with energy and stuff 1406 00:49:12,950 --> 00:49:10,720 like that but i would like to move on 1407 00:49:14,069 --> 00:49:12,960 um sorry everyone listening to that's on 1408 00:49:15,910 --> 00:49:14,079 the message board 1409 00:49:17,589 --> 00:49:15,920 yeah i apologize i sidetracked you there 1410 00:49:19,670 --> 00:49:17,599 but no no no i think it 1411 00:49:21,270 --> 00:49:19,680 started what started with you know 1412 00:49:22,630 --> 00:49:21,280 talking about the automated ufo 1413 00:49:23,829 --> 00:49:22,640 detection systems that are going to use 1414 00:49:26,470 --> 00:49:23,839 multiple wavelengths 1415 00:49:27,510 --> 00:49:26,480 and then you know you you needed me to 1416 00:49:29,990 --> 00:49:27,520 talk about 1417 00:49:31,829 --> 00:49:30,000 string theory and you opened that one up 1418 00:49:34,150 --> 00:49:31,839 i know i did 1419 00:49:35,750 --> 00:49:34,160 i take full blame that's okay it's a 1420 00:49:38,710 --> 00:49:35,760 good blame to have 1421 00:49:39,270 --> 00:49:38,720 now i wanted to talk about i when i 1422 00:49:40,710 --> 00:49:39,280 googled 1423 00:49:43,109 --> 00:49:40,720 i was trying to look for a picture to 1424 00:49:46,309 --> 00:49:43,119 put on on our show of you 1425 00:49:50,309 --> 00:49:46,319 and when i googled your name up came the 1426 00:49:51,829 --> 00:49:50,319 dome ufo in in jerusalem i wanted to 1427 00:49:53,589 --> 00:49:51,839 talk to you about that because 1428 00:49:55,510 --> 00:49:53,599 that is probably one of the most 1429 00:49:57,829 --> 00:49:55,520 controversial and if real 1430 00:49:58,630 --> 00:49:57,839 it was the most amazing you know ufo 1431 00:50:01,109 --> 00:49:58,640 sighting 1432 00:50:03,030 --> 00:50:01,119 i you know i didn't get a chance to read 1433 00:50:04,630 --> 00:50:03,040 the outcome of your investigation of 1434 00:50:08,069 --> 00:50:04,640 that but can you talk about it 1435 00:50:10,549 --> 00:50:08,079 sure when i uh first received that video 1436 00:50:11,990 --> 00:50:10,559 um you know i i looked at it with the 1437 00:50:14,150 --> 00:50:12,000 same excitement that i first looked 1438 00:50:15,270 --> 00:50:14,160 at the norway spiral that occurred and 1439 00:50:18,069 --> 00:50:15,280 you can look that one up 1440 00:50:20,150 --> 00:50:18,079 down the line but the jerusalem dome of 1441 00:50:21,030 --> 00:50:20,160 the rock ufo was really interesting to 1442 00:50:22,950 --> 00:50:21,040 me because 1443 00:50:25,190 --> 00:50:22,960 here we had what looked like multiple 1444 00:50:29,109 --> 00:50:25,200 witnesses videotaping 1445 00:50:32,470 --> 00:50:29,119 a ufo over old jerusalem 1446 00:50:32,870 --> 00:50:32,480 over the dome of the rock now first of 1447 00:50:34,470 --> 00:50:32,880 all 1448 00:50:37,270 --> 00:50:34,480 i don't believe that extraterrestrials 1449 00:50:38,069 --> 00:50:37,280 would recognize the significance of our 1450 00:50:41,270 --> 00:50:38,079 monuments 1451 00:50:43,030 --> 00:50:41,280 i do not here's what i found 1452 00:50:44,630 --> 00:50:43,040 there were several videos taken by 1453 00:50:47,589 --> 00:50:44,640 purported witnesses and 1454 00:50:49,190 --> 00:50:47,599 one of the videos showed the ufo another 1455 00:50:50,950 --> 00:50:49,200 one was sort of a zoomed in version of 1456 00:50:52,390 --> 00:50:50,960 that same ufo 1457 00:50:54,150 --> 00:50:52,400 all right then there were some others 1458 00:50:54,790 --> 00:50:54,160 that were clearly fake you know computer 1459 00:50:57,589 --> 00:50:54,800 generated 1460 00:50:58,549 --> 00:50:57,599 that were kind of thrown into the batch 1461 00:51:00,710 --> 00:50:58,559 by people that 1462 00:51:01,829 --> 00:51:00,720 just didn't know you know the chronology 1463 00:51:03,190 --> 00:51:01,839 of the case and stuff and 1464 00:51:05,270 --> 00:51:03,200 so i ended up of course having a look at 1465 00:51:06,790 --> 00:51:05,280 those as well and i've been misquoted 1466 00:51:07,430 --> 00:51:06,800 all over the internet as saying that you 1467 00:51:10,150 --> 00:51:07,440 know 1468 00:51:12,390 --> 00:51:10,160 uh that that cg ufo proves without a 1469 00:51:13,589 --> 00:51:12,400 doubt that you know uh the jerusalem ufo 1470 00:51:14,230 --> 00:51:13,599 was fake and that's not at all what i 1471 00:51:16,710 --> 00:51:14,240 said 1472 00:51:18,549 --> 00:51:16,720 what i was really saying the most 1473 00:51:21,030 --> 00:51:18,559 important aspect was 1474 00:51:22,470 --> 00:51:21,040 when you looked at the actual witness 1475 00:51:25,829 --> 00:51:22,480 footage taken with their 1476 00:51:28,630 --> 00:51:25,839 phones okay and their cameras 1477 00:51:29,030 --> 00:51:28,640 they were two different things they 1478 00:51:31,109 --> 00:51:29,040 showed 1479 00:51:33,190 --> 00:51:31,119 two different sets of details when you 1480 00:51:35,670 --> 00:51:33,200 looked at the details and that's 1481 00:51:37,190 --> 00:51:35,680 as we all know where the devil hit where 1482 00:51:38,630 --> 00:51:37,200 the devil lives right the devil is in 1483 00:51:41,750 --> 00:51:38,640 those details and 1484 00:51:43,270 --> 00:51:41,760 when i looked at the first one this 1485 00:51:45,829 --> 00:51:43,280 light came down 1486 00:51:46,870 --> 00:51:45,839 and then it shot up into the sky it 1487 00:51:49,349 --> 00:51:46,880 didn't go straight up 1488 00:51:51,510 --> 00:51:49,359 incidentally it went at a slight curve 1489 00:51:53,510 --> 00:51:51,520 as seen from the first perspective 1490 00:51:55,109 --> 00:51:53,520 from the second perspective it looked 1491 00:51:56,549 --> 00:51:55,119 like it went um 1492 00:51:57,670 --> 00:51:56,559 you know straight up out of frame but 1493 00:51:59,670 --> 00:51:57,680 you couldn't tell it's trajectory 1494 00:52:00,950 --> 00:51:59,680 because it was zoomed in more 1495 00:52:03,270 --> 00:52:00,960 and then there was the flash of the 1496 00:52:06,309 --> 00:52:03,280 ground 1497 00:52:07,750 --> 00:52:06,319 now um based on the time of the night 1498 00:52:10,069 --> 00:52:07,760 there were still plenty of young people 1499 00:52:12,390 --> 00:52:10,079 out and about even down there 1500 00:52:13,670 --> 00:52:12,400 where it was all taking place but 1501 00:52:15,349 --> 00:52:13,680 curiously 1502 00:52:16,950 --> 00:52:15,359 now one other report showed up other 1503 00:52:20,230 --> 00:52:16,960 than what those those 1504 00:52:23,589 --> 00:52:20,240 couple of witnesses uh showed 1505 00:52:25,349 --> 00:52:23,599 now in the second video i actually saw 1506 00:52:27,910 --> 00:52:25,359 ufo spinning 1507 00:52:29,670 --> 00:52:27,920 all right and as it was spinning the 1508 00:52:31,430 --> 00:52:29,680 light was changing 1509 00:52:33,910 --> 00:52:31,440 uh looking at us as you could see the 1510 00:52:35,829 --> 00:52:33,920 light changing like it was a 1511 00:52:37,030 --> 00:52:35,839 maybe a disc shaped thing it wasn't a 1512 00:52:39,270 --> 00:52:37,040 round thing 1513 00:52:41,430 --> 00:52:39,280 uh in the previous video it looked very 1514 00:52:42,950 --> 00:52:41,440 different it wasn't doing any of that 1515 00:52:44,870 --> 00:52:42,960 yet it was supposed to be happening at 1516 00:52:47,670 --> 00:52:44,880 the same time so i 1517 00:52:49,750 --> 00:52:47,680 i felt like that was just not corrupt 1518 00:52:50,950 --> 00:52:49,760 those those data were not corroborating 1519 00:52:53,190 --> 00:52:50,960 each other 1520 00:52:55,109 --> 00:52:53,200 all right again i'm really hard on the 1521 00:52:56,630 --> 00:52:55,119 data but i'm not a debunker i've had 1522 00:52:58,150 --> 00:52:56,640 experiences of my own 1523 00:52:59,430 --> 00:52:58,160 which i cannot explain and which i 1524 00:53:00,230 --> 00:52:59,440 attribute to a potential 1525 00:53:03,430 --> 00:53:00,240 extraterrestrial 1526 00:53:06,230 --> 00:53:03,440 influence i have you know not 1527 00:53:08,230 --> 00:53:06,240 i saw one on a u.s nuclear submarine in 1528 00:53:09,349 --> 00:53:08,240 the mid 90s i saw an unknown submerged 1529 00:53:12,549 --> 00:53:09,359 object and 1530 00:53:14,150 --> 00:53:12,559 before another time you know but um 1531 00:53:15,430 --> 00:53:14,160 i was told in no short order i went 1532 00:53:16,309 --> 00:53:15,440 right up to the joint chiefs of staff 1533 00:53:19,829 --> 00:53:16,319 and sat with them 1534 00:53:20,390 --> 00:53:19,839 and and um uh talked to them about it 1535 00:53:22,069 --> 00:53:20,400 and and 1536 00:53:24,230 --> 00:53:22,079 got the same answer that they can't tell 1537 00:53:25,510 --> 00:53:24,240 me anything about the uh fast mover 1538 00:53:27,349 --> 00:53:25,520 program 1539 00:53:28,870 --> 00:53:27,359 so and that's like i said another thing 1540 00:53:32,309 --> 00:53:28,880 for another time but 1541 00:53:33,190 --> 00:53:32,319 um so when that jerusalem ufo showed up 1542 00:53:35,990 --> 00:53:33,200 i looked at that 1543 00:53:37,430 --> 00:53:36,000 and i felt that the the main videos that 1544 00:53:39,270 --> 00:53:37,440 purported to show it 1545 00:53:40,470 --> 00:53:39,280 were just too different from each other 1546 00:53:41,270 --> 00:53:40,480 for an event that was occurring at the 1547 00:53:44,150 --> 00:53:41,280 same time 1548 00:53:45,430 --> 00:53:44,160 and then there was a flash of down below 1549 00:53:47,990 --> 00:53:45,440 no one reported that 1550 00:53:48,630 --> 00:53:48,000 now in this age of social media you know 1551 00:53:50,870 --> 00:53:48,640 facebook 1552 00:53:52,630 --> 00:53:50,880 myspace okay and all these other places 1553 00:53:54,790 --> 00:53:52,640 even youtube commentary 1554 00:53:56,870 --> 00:53:54,800 all right you would expect someone would 1555 00:53:59,270 --> 00:53:56,880 have said yeah i saw it too 1556 00:54:00,870 --> 00:53:59,280 oh yeah i saw it too and here's my video 1557 00:54:02,470 --> 00:54:00,880 okay when i saw this thing hovering over 1558 00:54:05,510 --> 00:54:02,480 there i took a video too 1559 00:54:06,150 --> 00:54:05,520 not any of it and then later on so i 1560 00:54:07,990 --> 00:54:06,160 pronounced 1561 00:54:09,430 --> 00:54:08,000 as i believed at the time i said you 1562 00:54:10,790 --> 00:54:09,440 know what as much as we'd like to 1563 00:54:12,309 --> 00:54:10,800 believe it and you know unless i'm not 1564 00:54:13,190 --> 00:54:12,319 seeing something i have to call this a 1565 00:54:14,870 --> 00:54:13,200 hoax 1566 00:54:16,390 --> 00:54:14,880 it looks to me like a computer generated 1567 00:54:18,870 --> 00:54:16,400 hoax because i do 1568 00:54:20,870 --> 00:54:18,880 all the things in my company that i own 1569 00:54:22,790 --> 00:54:20,880 i do all those kinds of 1570 00:54:24,230 --> 00:54:22,800 um you know computer graphics things 1571 00:54:26,549 --> 00:54:24,240 that i'm seeing here 1572 00:54:27,829 --> 00:54:26,559 and i can generate this hoax i can 1573 00:54:29,910 --> 00:54:27,839 create this too 1574 00:54:31,109 --> 00:54:29,920 so you know it doesn't mean it's a hoax 1575 00:54:32,790 --> 00:54:31,119 for sure but 1576 00:54:34,870 --> 00:54:32,800 i'm saying that it's well within 1577 00:54:36,549 --> 00:54:34,880 capability and it's real easy 1578 00:54:37,990 --> 00:54:36,559 in this particular case because you get 1579 00:54:40,390 --> 00:54:38,000 it's night it's a point of light 1580 00:54:41,430 --> 00:54:40,400 you know it's very easy to create that 1581 00:54:42,789 --> 00:54:41,440 it's much harder to create something 1582 00:54:44,069 --> 00:54:42,799 during the day flying through city 1583 00:54:47,349 --> 00:54:44,079 streets for instance 1584 00:54:49,109 --> 00:54:47,359 well in any case 1585 00:54:51,430 --> 00:54:49,119 later on it was like i don't know a few 1586 00:54:54,549 --> 00:54:51,440 weeks later an israeli reporter 1587 00:54:57,349 --> 00:54:54,559 got a hold of the story and 1588 00:54:58,150 --> 00:54:57,359 he started looking into it um and he 1589 00:55:01,349 --> 00:54:58,160 discovered 1590 00:55:02,309 --> 00:55:01,359 that the two or three main witnesses to 1591 00:55:06,390 --> 00:55:02,319 the event 1592 00:55:09,349 --> 00:55:06,400

think it because the 1631 00:56:34,230 --> 00:56:30,720 students got together they 1632 00:56:36,549 --> 00:56:34,240 did this as a hoax i think that the 1633 00:56:37,510 --> 00:56:36,559 the way the investigative reporter in 1634 00:56:39,270 --> 00:56:37,520 israel 1635 00:56:40,789 --> 00:56:39,280 phrased it it was sort of a production 1636 00:56:43,750 --> 00:56:40,799 project that was supposed to be part of 1637 00:56:46,230 --> 00:56:43,760 a viral ad campaign 1638 00:56:48,230 --> 00:56:46,240 so they were using their their 1639 00:56:51,990 --> 00:56:48,240 techniques they learned in their classes 1640 00:56:55,270 --> 00:56:52,000 to create a generated host but 1641 00:56:57,829 --> 00:56:55,280 that all said again 1642 00:56:59,030 --> 00:56:57,839 you know my mind is not closed uh if 1643 00:57:01,589 --> 00:56:59,040 there's other data that 1644 00:57:02,470 --> 00:57:01,599 has not been seen or even if you know 1645 00:57:07,190 --> 00:57:02,480 there are other 1646 00:57:08,789 --> 00:57:07,200 agencies or groups out there that 1647 00:57:10,549 --> 00:57:08,799 put out a lot of this information of 1648 00:57:12,470 --> 00:57:10,559 some kind and said well hey 1649 00:57:14,390 --> 00:57:12,480 you know let's just say it was a hoax so 1650 00:57:16,549 --> 00:57:14,400 that they don't find out the truth 1651 00:57:18,549 --> 00:57:16,559 well see i don't i try not to fall 1652 00:57:21,670 --> 00:57:18,559 victim to that i just look at the data 1653 00:57:23,030 --> 00:57:21,680 data is not opinionated the data simply 1654 00:57:25,510 --> 00:57:23,040 stands on its own and when i looked at 1655 00:57:28,549 --> 00:57:25,520 the jerusalem ufo 1656 00:57:31,589 --> 00:57:28,559 data the different video 1657 00:57:33,430 --> 00:57:31,599 imagery they looked different to me it 1658 00:57:35,990 --> 00:57:33,440 didn't look like it was the same 1659 00:57:37,589 --> 00:57:36,000 object there were more details in one 1660 00:57:38,870 --> 00:57:37,599 than in the other one than the other you 1661 00:57:41,670 --> 00:57:38,880 should have seen them too 1662 00:57:42,390 --> 00:57:41,680 so i don't you know i i just don't get 1663 00:57:45,349 --> 00:57:42,400 it and then 1664 00:57:46,549 --> 00:57:45,359 the flash and the lack of any social 1665 00:57:48,710 --> 00:57:46,559 media uproar 1666 00:57:51,349 --> 00:57:48,720 the dome of the rock one of history's 1667 00:57:53,430 --> 00:57:51,359 most important locations has this ufo 1668 00:57:54,789 --> 00:57:53,440 over it and this giant flash illuminates 1669 00:57:58,710 --> 00:57:54,799 old jerusalem 1670 00:58:01,430 --> 00:57:58,720 and no one but two people see it 1671 00:58:02,789 --> 00:58:01,440 sorry you know right there just that you 1672 00:58:04,069 --> 00:58:02,799 don't need to be a photo and video 1673 00:58:06,950 --> 00:58:04,079 analyst to know 1674 00:58:07,510 --> 00:58:06,960 that something's wrong with that picture 1675 00:58:10,710 --> 00:58:07,520 well i 1676 00:58:11,750 --> 00:58:10,720 i think you know they they really picked 1677 00:58:15,270 --> 00:58:11,760 out 1678 00:58:18,710 --> 00:58:15,280 too big of a monumental you know uh 1679 00:58:20,150 --> 00:58:18,720 monument to uh to do this from like you 1680 00:58:22,470 --> 00:58:20,160 say there's always 1681 00:58:23,750 --> 00:58:22,480 thousands of people around that thing at 1682 00:58:25,190 --> 00:58:23,760 all times if there are 1683 00:58:26,789 --> 00:58:25,200 all night long i was going to say all 1684 00:58:28,870 --> 00:58:26,799 night long 24 hours 1685 00:58:30,710 --> 00:58:28,880 now there are curfews in israel there's 1686 00:58:31,990 --> 00:58:30,720 okay there are curfews you know and so 1687 00:58:33,270 --> 00:58:32,000 but and that was something i was working 1688 00:58:34,950 --> 00:58:33,280 with into was to understand you know 1689 00:58:37,510 --> 00:58:34,960 okay what was the curfew 1690 00:58:39,349 --> 00:58:37,520 okay because they were out and it wasn't 1691 00:58:43,190 --> 00:58:39,359 illegal for them to be 1692 00:58:44,950 --> 00:58:43,200 uh within um missile range 1693 00:58:46,309 --> 00:58:44,960 you know shoulder-mounted missile range 1694 00:58:48,390 --> 00:58:46,319 of the dome of the rock 1695 00:58:49,349 --> 00:58:48,400 so clearly other people had to have been 1696 00:58:53,349 --> 00:58:49,359 able to now 1697 00:58:56,150 --> 00:58:53,359 and be closer so 1698 00:58:56,950 --> 00:58:56,160 they would have seen it plus up on that 1699 00:58:58,390 --> 00:58:56,960 ridge 1700 00:59:00,390 --> 00:58:58,400 you didn't just hear the two of them 1701 00:59:02,470 --> 00:59:00,400 talking or the three of them talking 1702 00:59:04,150 --> 00:59:02,480 you heard all kinds of people talking 1703 00:59:06,150 --> 00:59:04,160 going ah 1704 00:59:07,990 --> 00:59:06,160 and not one further report from any of 1705 00:59:09,990 --> 00:59:08,000 those other ancillary people 1706 00:59:12,150 --> 00:59:10,000 so you see these are the these are the 1707 00:59:14,470 --> 00:59:12,160 factoids that you have to consider you 1708 00:59:18,390 --> 00:59:14,480 cannot let it sit you've gotta 1709 00:59:21,589 --> 00:59:18,400 you've got to let you you to consider 1710 00:59:24,630 --> 00:59:21,599 that information you know i talked to 1711 00:59:28,230 --> 00:59:24,640 dr bruce mcabee about you know 1712 00:59:29,270 --> 00:59:28,240 situations of you know analyzing photos 1713 00:59:31,829 --> 00:59:29,280 and videos and 1714 00:59:33,589 --> 00:59:31,839 the first thing he said is you know that 1715 00:59:35,349 --> 00:59:33,599 it's all secondary the first thing is 1716 00:59:36,950 --> 00:59:35,359 the witnesses 1717 00:59:39,510 --> 00:59:36,960 you know do you basically agree with 1718 00:59:41,430 --> 00:59:39,520 that well i mean 1719 00:59:43,349 --> 00:59:41,440 bruce and i are friends he's a great guy 1720 00:59:45,589 --> 00:59:43,359 and what i do is 1721 00:59:47,349 --> 00:59:45,599 when i actually do an analysis i do not 1722 00:59:50,069 --> 00:59:47,359 look at the witness report 1723 00:59:52,789 --> 00:59:50,079 until i do my analysis because i don't 1724 00:59:55,109 --> 00:59:52,799 want to be influenced by what i'm seeing 1725 00:59:55,910 --> 00:59:55,119 um you know what i've read i'll tell you 1726 00:59:58,549 --> 00:59:55,920 why i just did 1727 00:59:59,190 --> 00:59:58,559 i did four cases tonight just tonight 1728 01:00:04,630 --> 00:59:59,200 really 1729 01:00:09,109 --> 01:00:07,670 i was dead set on you know not 1730 01:00:11,270 --> 01:00:09,119 wanting to know anything about the 1731 01:00:12,069 --> 01:00:11,280 sighting and what it was was it was a it 1732 01:00:14,230 --> 01:00:12,079 was a bright 1733 01:00:16,630 --> 01:00:14,240 little tiny bit of light and you know in 1734 01:00:19,670 --> 01:00:16,640 a shot taken looking directly at the sun 1735 01:00:21,910 --> 01:00:19,680 which i always say to people don't 1736 01:00:23,990 --> 01:00:21,920 do that and then submit planet x to me 1737 01:00:27,349 --> 01:00:24,000 okay i'm not going to go down that path 1738 01:00:29,190 --> 01:00:27,359 you can't see a planet next to the sun 1739 01:00:31,190 --> 01:00:29,200 in full bright light of day and take a 1740 01:00:32,950 --> 01:00:31,200 picture of it with your cell phone 1741 01:00:35,030 --> 01:00:32,960 you can do that with a telescope when 1742 01:00:36,789 --> 01:00:35,040 you isolate the field of the sky and you 1743 01:00:38,710 --> 01:00:36,799 see a tiny little dot of venus you can 1744 01:00:40,390 --> 01:00:38,720 actually see venus during the day 1745 01:00:42,230 --> 01:00:40,400 all right if you know where to look and 1746 01:00:43,750 --> 01:00:42,240 i can even see it with my eyes when i 1747 01:00:45,589 --> 01:00:43,760 know if i know where to look 1748 01:00:47,190 --> 01:00:45,599 and you got to stare at it for a while 1749 01:00:48,150 --> 01:00:47,200 and let all the floaters in your eye get 1750 01:00:51,270 --> 01:00:48,160 out of the way 1751 01:00:52,870 --> 01:00:51,280 i'm not kidding all right but it is a 1752 01:00:53,430 --> 01:00:52,880 rite of passage to find venus during the 1753 01:00:55,270 --> 01:00:53,440 day 1754 01:00:57,270 --> 01:00:55,280 but try taking a picture of that with 1755 01:00:57,750 --> 01:00:57,280 your cell phone you're just not gonna 1756 01:00:59,910 --> 01:00:57,760 get it 1757 01:01:02,150 --> 01:00:59,920 all right so what most people see is 1758 01:01:04,950 --> 01:01:02,160 these large 1759 01:01:06,390 --> 01:01:04,960 light you know lens flares and specular 1760 01:01:08,710 --> 01:01:06,400 reflections 1761 01:01:09,990 --> 01:01:08,720 off of dust on the lens cover and more 1762 01:01:13,430 --> 01:01:10,000 likely the filter that's over 1763 01:01:16,630 --> 01:01:13,440 the lens and so uh you know 1764 01:01:18,630 --> 01:01:16,640 those types of things are not ufos 1765 01:01:19,910 --> 01:01:18,640 you know but one of the things that we 1766 01:01:22,069 --> 01:01:19,920 have to look at is that the witness 1767 01:01:25,109 --> 01:01:22,079 testimony sometimes 1768 01:01:27,109 --> 01:01:25,119 relays something extraordinary but the 1769 01:01:29,750 --> 01:01:27,119 data doesn't support it 1770 01:01:30,390 --> 01:01:29,760 so i can't say like like the cases 1771 01:01:32,950 --> 01:01:30,400 tonight 1772 01:01:34,390 --> 01:01:32,960 i said well the witness says that this 1773 01:01:37,349 --> 01:01:34,400 thing came out 1774 01:01:38,870 --> 01:01:37,359 it shot around at extremely high speed 1775 01:01:40,710 --> 01:01:38,880 was flying around at this 1776 01:01:42,069 --> 01:01:40,720 unbelievable speed he went back and 1777 01:01:44,630 --> 01:01:42,079 forth 1778 01:01:46,309 --> 01:01:44,640 you know toward the sun and back but he 1779 01:01:46,789 --> 01:01:46,319 submitted a photo looking right at the 1780 01:01:49,030 --> 01:01:46,799 sun 1781 01:01:51,190 --> 01:01:49,040 showing a gigantic lens flare but in 1782 01:01:53,430 --> 01:01:51,200 addition 1783 01:01:55,589 --> 01:01:53,440 he saw or he he also recorded this 1784 01:01:57,109 --> 01:01:55,599 little tiny white dot 1785 01:01:59,109 --> 01:01:57,119 uh that was in there and it wasn't even 1786 01:02:02,230 --> 01:01:59,119 a dot it was sort of a smudge 1787 01:02:04,069 --> 01:02:02,240 way way off in the distance you know and 1788 01:02:06,230 --> 01:02:04,079 um i was asked to corroborate what the 1789 01:02:07,750 --> 01:02:06,240 witness was saying and i couldn't 1790 01:02:09,829 --> 01:02:07,760 i said well he can't the data certainly 1791 01:02:10,470 --> 01:02:09,839 doesn't support this this rapidly flying 1792 01:02:13,029 --> 01:02:10,480 thing 1793 01:02:14,630 --> 01:02:13,039 however if he was looking at the sun 1794 01:02:16,390 --> 01:02:14,640 with his camera because it was a 1795 01:02:18,069 --> 01:02:16,400 samsung phone that he used to take the 1796 01:02:20,630 --> 01:02:18,079 picture and he was moving it around 1797 01:02:22,230 --> 01:02:20,640 guess what that lens flare and any other 1798 01:02:24,549 --> 01:02:22,240 object that's a result of the sun is 1799 01:02:27,190 --> 01:02:24,559 going to dance all over the sky 1800 01:02:29,190 --> 01:02:27,200 you know in you know apparently in that 1801 01:02:32,390 --> 01:02:29,200 on that camera screen and it was a big 1802 01:02:33,910 --> 01:02:32,400 tablet sized screen so i'm sure that 1803 01:02:35,829 --> 01:02:33,920 you know there was plenty to see and it 1804 01:02:39,270 --> 01:02:35,839 was a really good camera you know 1805 01:02:41,670 --> 01:02:39,280 on this phone so you know the data 1806 01:02:43,829 --> 01:02:41,680 doesn't corroborate what he saw 1807 01:02:45,589 --> 01:02:43,839 yeah you know you know so or claims to 1808 01:02:47,349 --> 01:02:45,599 have seen so i couldn't call it what he 1809 01:02:49,109 --> 01:02:47,359 said i couldn't say it was what he said 1810 01:02:51,109 --> 01:02:49,119 but i could say that this looks similar 1811 01:02:51,750 --> 01:02:51,119 to a specular reflection of dust on a 1812 01:02:55,990 --> 01:02:51,760 lens 1813 01:02:57,910 --> 01:02:56,000 this we know from physics 1814 01:02:59,430 --> 01:02:57,920 so i'm sorry your data doesn't 1815 01:03:00,950 --> 01:02:59,440 corroborate you may have seen something 1816 01:03:03,349 --> 01:03:00,960 really cool 1817 01:03:04,470 --> 01:03:03,359 but i can't verify it with this one 1818 01:03:06,630 --> 01:03:04,480 picture right 1819 01:03:08,309 --> 01:03:06,640 now earlier we had on our message board 1820 01:03:12,309 --> 01:03:08,319 someone wanted to ask you 1821 01:03:15,829 --> 01:03:12,319 what you thought about rods oh rods yeah 1822 01:03:16,470 --> 01:03:15,839 um i have um i have analyzed rod footage 1823 01:03:17,829 --> 01:03:16,480 quite a bit 1824 01:03:19,750 --> 01:03:17,839 and and one of the things that i thought 1825 01:03:22,230 --> 01:03:19,760 was really interesting about them 1826 01:03:23,190 --> 01:03:22,240 is that they look like these strange 1827 01:03:25,270 --> 01:03:23,200 creatures that are 1828 01:03:28,950 --> 01:03:25,280 traveling along with these little 1829 01:03:31,589 --> 01:03:28,960 gossamer spirally wings 1830 01:03:33,109 --> 01:03:31,599 but you can go out and find them 1831 01:03:36,549 --> 01:03:33,119 yourself you can create them 1832 01:03:39,109 --> 01:03:36,559 right away all you have to do is find 1833 01:03:40,069 --> 01:03:39,119 uh insects flying through the video 1834 01:03:45,270 --> 01:03:40,079 frame 1835 01:03:46,390 --> 01:03:45,280 where the sunlight is you can actually 1836 01:03:50,069 --> 01:03:46,400 generate that little 1837 01:03:51,829 --> 01:03:50,079 sine wave look in your images in fact i 1838 01:03:54,630 --> 01:03:51,839 i reference that quite a bit when i'm 1839 01:03:58,549 --> 01:03:54,640 looking at some images i can 1840 01:04:01,270 --> 01:03:58,559 deduce by how many peaks of that curve 1841 01:04:03,430 --> 01:04:01,280 are are visible in an exposure of a 1842 01:04:07,109 --> 01:04:03,440 certain amount of time say it was a 1843 01:04:10,829 --> 01:04:07,119 30th of a second right and you see 1844 01:04:13,349 --> 01:04:10,839 uh four peaks in that curve 1845 01:04:14,390 --> 01:04:13,359 right that's four peaks in the 30th of a 1846 01:04:17,589 --> 01:04:14,400 second 1847 01:04:21,029 --> 01:04:17,599 right so that means you're gonna get 1848 01:04:24,069 --> 01:04:21,039 roughly uh 12 peaks per second 1849 01:04:26,950 --> 01:04:24,079 times 60 seconds okay 1850 01:04:27,750 --> 01:04:26,960 gives you you know over 600 and change 1851 01:04:30,470 --> 01:04:27,760 wing beats 1852 01:04:32,309 --> 01:04:30,480 per minute and now based on the wing 1853 01:04:34,789 --> 01:04:32,319 beats per minute that this this 1854 01:04:36,069 --> 01:04:34,799 photo captured you can go look at the 1855 01:04:39,109 --> 01:04:36,079 location they're at and 1856 01:04:39,990 --> 01:04:39,119 actually come up with a reasonable guess 1857 01:04:42,150 --> 01:04:40,000 as to what that 1858 01:04:43,190 --> 01:04:42,160 actually was and what insect it was 1859 01:04:45,349 --> 01:04:43,200 because some of them 1860 01:04:47,109 --> 01:04:45,359 have extraordinary wing beat frequencies 1861 01:04:48,470 --> 01:04:47,119 and some you know some are high some are 1862 01:04:52,150 --> 01:04:48,480 extremely low 1863 01:04:54,950 --> 01:04:52,160 um are you talking like the denver 1864 01:04:56,230 --> 01:04:54,960 video yeah like like in the denver video 1865 01:04:57,190 --> 01:04:56,240 where you actually see 1866 01:04:59,589 --> 01:04:57,200 i think that's the one right where you 1867 01:05:02,630 --> 01:04:59,599 actually see objects flying through 1868 01:05:04,230 --> 01:05:02,640 yeah in when i uh analyzed that one up 1869 01:05:05,589 --> 01:05:04,240 close and i took still frames you can 1870 01:05:08,150 --> 01:05:05,599 actually see 1871 01:05:09,349 --> 01:05:08,160 uh the body if it's the same one we're 1872 01:05:10,390 --> 01:05:09,359 talking about it was the body of an 1873 01:05:13,190 --> 01:05:10,400 insect 1874 01:05:13,750 --> 01:05:13,200 that was elongated slightly because the 1875 01:05:16,630 --> 01:05:13,760 footage 1876 01:05:18,390 --> 01:05:16,640 wasn't taken at 120 frames per second or 1877 01:05:19,829 --> 01:05:18,400 60 frames per second it was like at 30 1878 01:05:21,670 --> 01:05:19,839 frames per second 1879 01:05:23,510 --> 01:05:21,680 so effectively each still frame is a 1880 01:05:24,630 --> 01:05:23,520 30th of a second photograph that's why 1881 01:05:27,829 --> 01:05:24,640 they're always fuzzy 1882 01:05:28,309 --> 01:05:27,839 right right at 120 frames per second you 1883 01:05:30,630 --> 01:05:28,319 have 1884 01:05:31,349 --> 01:05:30,640 a photo that's real very sharp 1885 01:05:33,029 --> 01:05:31,359 relatively 1886 01:05:34,789 --> 01:05:33,039 and at a 60th of a second that's pretty 1887 01:05:36,470 --> 01:05:34,799 much the minimum for getting a sharp 1888 01:05:38,710 --> 01:05:36,480 still frame as long as the camera's not 1889 01:05:40,789 --> 01:05:38,720 moving a whole lot 1890 01:05:42,270 --> 01:05:40,799 now in the film work i do we've actually 1891 01:05:45,349 --> 01:05:42,280 done frame rates of 1892 01:05:47,589 --> 01:05:45,359 1600 frames per second 1893 01:05:48,630 --> 01:05:47,599 it was one burger king commercial that i 1894 01:05:51,750 --> 01:05:48,640 worked on with 1895 01:05:53,270 --> 01:05:51,760 doug and we actually you know had this 1896 01:05:54,390 --> 01:05:53,280 this this special camera called the 1897 01:05:58,230 --> 01:05:54,400 phantom which was 1898 01:05:59,029 --> 01:05:58,240 taking images of a 2500 rpm giant oreo 1899 01:06:01,349 --> 01:05:59,039 cookie 1900 01:06:02,789 --> 01:06:01,359 spinning around and it was spewing out 1901 01:06:05,029 --> 01:06:02,799 liquid nitrogen because that's 1902 01:06:06,470 --> 01:06:05,039 i created this thing you know to to make 1903 01:06:08,309 --> 01:06:06,480 us this and we put up if you have too 1904 01:06:10,309 --> 01:06:08,319 much time in your hands 1905 01:06:11,750 --> 01:06:10,319 oh no this was a great job i loved it 1906 01:06:13,270 --> 01:06:11,760 you know and that's the kind of thing 1907 01:06:15,029 --> 01:06:13,280 this is why i love working with doug 1908 01:06:17,270 --> 01:06:15,039 trumbull because he's he's just 1909 01:06:18,789 --> 01:06:17,280 it's so cool we do organic effects so 1910 01:06:20,470 --> 01:06:18,799 this spinning cookie and there's a point 1911 01:06:22,549 --> 01:06:20,480 to this the spinning cookie 1912 01:06:24,150 --> 01:06:22,559 you literally saw this brown blur now it 1913 01:06:25,990 --> 01:06:24,160 was 10 inches in diameter by the way it 1914 01:06:27,910 --> 01:06:26,000 was an oversized oreo so a lot of people 1915 01:06:29,670 --> 01:06:27,920 really wanted an oreo cake 1916 01:06:31,510 --> 01:06:29,680 you know when we were done but there's 1917 01:06:33,990 --> 01:06:31,520 none to be found so 1918 01:06:35,510 --> 01:06:34,000 this spinning cookie had liquid nitrogen 1919 01:06:38,789 --> 01:06:35,520 coming out of the edges 1920 01:06:40,150 --> 01:06:38,799 and the entire take all right was done 1921 01:06:42,309 --> 01:06:40,160 in a second and a half 1922 01:06:43,190 --> 01:06:42,319 so i would run the liquid nitrogen down 1923 01:06:46,470 --> 01:06:43,200 through the rig 1924 01:06:49,750 --> 01:06:46,480 the cookie would spin up 2500 frames per 1925 01:06:51,190 --> 01:06:49,760 2500 rpm it was a brown blur with a 1926 01:06:53,190 --> 01:06:51,200 white center 1927 01:06:54,549 --> 01:06:53,200 okay and all this liquid nitrogen coming 1928 01:06:56,789 --> 01:06:54,559 out of the white center 1929 01:06:58,710 --> 01:06:56,799 and so you had all the steam and a fan 1930 01:07:01,270 --> 01:06:58,720 blowing it back like a comet 1931 01:07:02,549 --> 01:07:01,280 and the whole exposure the whole shot 1932 01:07:05,670 --> 01:07:02,559 was 1933 01:07:10,870 --> 01:07:05,680 right 1934 01:07:12,230 --> 01:07:10,880 it was a 1600 frame per second take so 1935 01:07:14,549 --> 01:07:12,240 when you play it back at normal frame 1936 01:07:17,109 --> 01:07:14,559 rate you've got this beautiful slow 1937 01:07:17,910 --> 01:07:17,119 graceful massive cookie coursing through 1938 01:07:21,029 --> 01:07:17,920 space 1939 01:07:24,950 --> 01:07:21,039 spewing cometary debris and and 1940 01:07:26,870 --> 01:07:24,960 and and uh clouds of dust and steam 1941 01:07:28,230 --> 01:07:26,880 blowing back behind it it looked 1942 01:07:31,510 --> 01:07:28,240 gorgeous all right 1943 01:07:32,630 --> 01:07:31,520 so you see this is why 1944 01:07:34,549 --> 01:07:32,640 you know i can see the world in 1945 01:07:36,630 --> 01:07:34,559 different ways because i look at the 1946 01:07:37,990 --> 01:07:36,640 world this way i see the world at fast 1947 01:07:40,870 --> 01:07:38,000 and slow rates 1948 01:07:41,430 --> 01:07:40,880 right so when i see an insect on film i 1949 01:07:43,430 --> 01:07:41,440 see 1950 01:07:44,870 --> 01:07:43,440 a sine wave of a wing beat pattern that 1951 01:07:45,829 --> 01:07:44,880 was caught based on the length of the 1952 01:07:49,029 --> 01:07:45,839 exposure 1953 01:07:50,390 --> 01:07:49,039 see and that's where this all comes from 1954 01:07:51,510 --> 01:07:50,400 this is stuff i've been doing since i 1955 01:07:55,029 --> 01:07:51,520 was a kid 1956 01:07:55,829 --> 01:07:55,039 you know again you you heard me and i'm 1957 01:07:58,470 --> 01:07:55,839 not lying 1958 01:08:00,230 --> 01:07:58,480 1971 i joined at age 11 and it was then 1959 01:08:00,710 --> 01:08:00,240 when i started looking into the science 1960 01:08:03,029 --> 01:08:00,720 of 1961 01:08:03,910 --> 01:08:03,039 what makes those things tick that people 1962 01:08:06,390 --> 01:08:03,920 see out there 1963 01:08:07,750 --> 01:08:06,400 and of course that meant i had to 1964 01:08:09,670 --> 01:08:07,760 explore the natural world 1965 01:08:12,069 --> 01:08:09,680 like you know like crazy in order to 1966 01:08:13,990 --> 01:08:12,079 understand the laws the natural laws 1967 01:08:15,829 --> 01:08:14,000 physical laws the laws throughout 1968 01:08:16,630 --> 01:08:15,839 science i went to school for science i 1969 01:08:18,630 --> 01:08:16,640 was a 1970 01:08:20,229 --> 01:08:18,640 science geek and a nerd throughout 1971 01:08:21,749 --> 01:08:20,239 college other people are playing 1972 01:08:24,550 --> 01:08:21,759 football i'm in the basement of the 1973 01:08:27,749 --> 01:08:24,560 science library studying physics 1974 01:08:30,070 --> 01:08:27,759 what the heck is wrong with me well 1975 01:08:31,430 --> 01:08:30,080 uh you've led an interesting life i'm 1976 01:08:34,390 --> 01:08:31,440 sure because of that 1977 01:08:35,749 --> 01:08:34,400 um one of the questions that came up on 1978 01:08:39,590 --> 01:08:35,759 the message board 1979 01:08:42,229 --> 01:08:39,600 was what was your most interesting 1980 01:08:43,990 --> 01:08:42,239 analysis and i'm going to add to that 1981 01:08:45,749 --> 01:08:44,000 have you ever seen anything that you are 1982 01:08:49,189 --> 01:08:45,759 totally convinced 1983 01:08:50,630 --> 01:08:49,199 is possibly extraterrestrial or just 1984 01:08:52,789 --> 01:08:50,640 plain unexplainable 1985 01:08:54,390 --> 01:08:52,799 yeah absolutely but it wasn't the ufo it 1986 01:08:57,749 --> 01:08:54,400 was actually a uh 1987 01:08:59,749 --> 01:08:57,759 a close encounter um really yeah 1988 01:09:01,110 --> 01:08:59,759 and and this is why you know what people 1989 01:09:02,789 --> 01:09:01,120 like to call me a debunker but they got 1990 01:09:04,630 --> 01:09:02,799 to understand 1991 01:09:07,349 --> 01:09:04,640 these people they don't have a clue i am 1992 01:09:10,229 --> 01:09:07,359 not a debunker i actually 1993 01:09:11,430 --> 01:09:10,239 not only believe okay i show i do talks 1994 01:09:12,709 --> 01:09:11,440 around the country explaining the 1995 01:09:15,189 --> 01:09:12,719 science of why they 1996 01:09:16,390 --> 01:09:15,199 certainly can be here i don't walk 1997 01:09:18,070 --> 01:09:16,400 around and saying they're not here i 1998 01:09:18,870 --> 01:09:18,080 walk around saying i think they are and 1999 01:09:21,510 --> 01:09:18,880 here's why 2000 01:09:22,070 --> 01:09:21,520 so that's really the the way that i work 2001 01:09:24,789 --> 01:09:22,080 um 2002 01:09:26,149 --> 01:09:24,799 but i am hard on data and and one of the 2003 01:09:28,789 --> 01:09:26,159 things that happened to me that 2004 01:09:30,789 --> 01:09:28,799 uh two things um the first was seeing 2005 01:09:32,550 --> 01:09:30,799 the fast move around the nuclear sub 2006 01:09:34,149 --> 01:09:32,560 now it was in the middle of the 90s i 2007 01:09:36,070 --> 01:09:34,159 was a guest 2008 01:09:37,749 --> 01:09:36,080 because uh to this day i still do a lot 2009 01:09:39,269 --> 01:09:37,759 of work for the navy and i end up 2010 01:09:41,269 --> 01:09:39,279 sometimes they'll say hey do you want to 2011 01:09:42,789 --> 01:09:41,279 go check out an aircraft carrier or hey 2012 01:09:44,789 --> 01:09:42,799 how about a ride on a submarine you know 2013 01:09:46,550 --> 01:09:44,799 i know that sounds kind of flippant but 2014 01:09:48,709 --> 01:09:46,560 believe me they're very sparing and they 2015 01:09:49,749 --> 01:09:48,719 are you know they're only after doing 2016 01:09:52,550 --> 01:09:49,759 something that's you know 2017 01:09:54,149 --> 01:09:52,560 really above and beyond so i try to do 2018 01:09:56,470 --> 01:09:54,159 that from time to time 2019 01:09:59,270 --> 01:09:56,480 um so i did go on board us sub it was 2020 01:10:02,709 --> 01:09:59,280 the most fun i had getting seasick 2021 01:10:04,790 --> 01:10:02,719 no don't lie and uh you know i uh 2022 01:10:06,550 --> 01:10:04,800 while hanging on the sky periscope half 2023 01:10:09,830 --> 01:10:06,560 the time just so i can just see 2024 01:10:11,110 --> 01:10:09,840 a horizon there's no windows no windows 2025 01:10:14,310 --> 01:10:11,120 in these things you know 2026 01:10:15,590 --> 01:10:14,320 um i then went into the sonar shack 2027 01:10:17,350 --> 01:10:15,600 they called the sonar shack it's a 2028 01:10:18,709 --> 01:10:17,360 little alleyway along the control room 2029 01:10:20,310 --> 01:10:18,719 and the submarine and 2030 01:10:21,750 --> 01:10:20,320 that's where all the you know the the 2031 01:10:23,270 --> 01:10:21,760 sonar guys sit and they look at the 2032 01:10:24,630 --> 01:10:23,280 screens and they look like the you know 2033 01:10:26,229 --> 01:10:24,640 in the matrix remember the green letters 2034 01:10:28,790 --> 01:10:26,239 going down the screen 2035 01:10:30,310 --> 01:10:28,800 yeah okay well now take those and 2036 01:10:31,910 --> 01:10:30,320 dissolve them from being letters into 2037 01:10:33,990 --> 01:10:31,920 static 2038 01:10:35,830 --> 01:10:34,000 and that's what a sonar display on a 2039 01:10:37,590 --> 01:10:35,840 submarine looks like you know on a los 2040 01:10:38,390 --> 01:10:37,600 angeles class sub that i was on at the 2041 01:10:41,350 --> 01:10:38,400 time 2042 01:10:42,070 --> 01:10:41,360 well um but within that data you 2043 01:10:43,830 --> 01:10:42,080 actually see 2044 01:10:46,070 --> 01:10:43,840 hard lines and other types of 2045 01:10:47,669 --> 01:10:46,080 information and curving lines that 2046 01:10:50,390 --> 01:10:47,679 change over time 2047 01:10:52,229 --> 01:10:50,400 the refresh rate is much slower you know 2048 01:10:53,430 --> 01:10:52,239 can be much slower than you see in the 2049 01:10:55,030 --> 01:10:53,440 matrix that kind of thing 2050 01:10:57,189 --> 01:10:55,040 but that's exactly you know what it 2051 01:11:00,470 --> 01:10:57,199 looks like okay now 2052 01:11:02,390 --> 01:11:00,480 take this and imagine when a 2053 01:11:03,990 --> 01:11:02,400 sonar guy looks at that screen he knows 2054 01:11:04,790 --> 01:11:04,000 exactly what he's looking at most of the 2055 01:11:07,189 --> 01:11:04,800 time 2056 01:11:09,350 --> 01:11:07,199 they can they have biologics which are 2057 01:11:11,910 --> 01:11:09,360 whales and schools of fish 2058 01:11:14,229 --> 01:11:11,920 um you know some animals in the sea make 2059 01:11:15,189 --> 01:11:14,239 popping noises no show up the submarine 2060 01:11:18,149 --> 01:11:15,199 listens 2061 01:11:19,990 --> 01:11:18,159 um you know to find out where it's going 2062 01:11:21,110 --> 01:11:20,000 it listens to the surroundings to know 2063 01:11:23,110 --> 01:11:21,120 where it's going 2064 01:11:24,310 --> 01:11:23,120 you know it can't see ahead you know 2065 01:11:28,229 --> 01:11:24,320 what i mean it has to listen 2066 01:11:30,070 --> 01:11:28,239 listen ahead so um so accurate charts 2067 01:11:31,669 --> 01:11:30,080 and sonar or how a submarine 2068 01:11:33,510 --> 01:11:31,679 you know moves around in the ocean um 2069 01:11:35,110 --> 01:11:33,520 for the most part so 2070 01:11:36,470 --> 01:11:35,120 imagine now i'm sitting there watching 2071 01:11:38,229 --> 01:11:36,480 the sonar display the reason i'm in 2072 01:11:40,390 --> 01:11:38,239 there is because it's a it's a seat 2073 01:11:41,750 --> 01:11:40,400 it's out of the way the mainstream you 2074 01:11:44,390 --> 01:11:41,760 know you got a hundred and 2075 01:11:45,030 --> 01:11:44,400 you know 30 guys on board a sub or more 2076 01:11:46,709 --> 01:11:45,040 and 2077 01:11:48,709 --> 01:11:46,719 you know walking down a hallway is a you 2078 01:11:52,870 --> 01:11:48,719 know con especially the height of 2079 01:11:55,669 --> 01:11:52,880 a of a shift is crazy because 2080 01:11:56,709 --> 01:11:55,679 it's in the hallways you know uh 30 2081 01:11:58,950 --> 01:11:56,719 inches wide 2082 01:12:00,790 --> 01:11:58,960 and to get by someone especially the six 2083 01:12:01,990 --> 01:12:00,800 foot submariner i don't know why he 2084 01:12:04,390 --> 01:12:02,000 would get on a submarine 2085 01:12:06,149 --> 01:12:04,400 at six feet tall but you have to turn 2086 01:12:07,669 --> 01:12:06,159 your body sideways to let them squeeze 2087 01:12:09,990 --> 01:12:07,679 by and then you keep going 2088 01:12:11,750 --> 01:12:10,000 and so the quiet was what i was looking 2089 01:12:12,390 --> 01:12:11,760 for for some of the time when i was on 2090 01:12:14,149 --> 01:12:12,400 board 2091 01:12:15,750 --> 01:12:14,159 so i would sit in the sonar shack it's 2092 01:12:16,310 --> 01:12:15,760 dark and all you see is this green 2093 01:12:18,790 --> 01:12:16,320 screen 2094 01:12:20,229 --> 01:12:18,800 going down green green green and so i 2095 01:12:21,990 --> 01:12:20,239 was like ah this is nice 2096 01:12:23,189 --> 01:12:22,000 and i had learned how to read sonar a 2097 01:12:24,310 --> 01:12:23,199 little bit before i went on board 2098 01:12:25,510 --> 01:12:24,320 because i was really interested in the 2099 01:12:27,110 --> 01:12:25,520 technology 2100 01:12:28,950 --> 01:12:27,120 um and i actually had a simulator that 2101 01:12:31,189 --> 01:12:28,960 showed me how to read 2102 01:12:32,229 --> 01:12:31,199 los angeles class submarine sonar so i 2103 01:12:34,310 --> 01:12:32,239 was looking in 2104 01:12:35,990 --> 01:12:34,320 and by getting into something it took my 2105 01:12:38,870 --> 01:12:36,000 mind off the fact that i was feeling 2106 01:12:40,950 --> 01:12:38,880 i was gonna get sick you know um so i'm 2107 01:12:42,229 --> 01:12:40,960 sitting there and all of a sudden 2108 01:12:43,350 --> 01:12:42,239 amidst all the other lines that are 2109 01:12:45,110 --> 01:12:43,360 showing up on there which is like a 2110 01:12:46,790 --> 01:12:45,120 distance ship that's a tanker 2111 01:12:49,990 --> 01:12:46,800 that one has you know that one's a 2112 01:12:51,830 --> 01:12:50,000 single screw four-bladed propeller and 2113 01:12:52,790 --> 01:12:51,840 this tanker that's you know 12 miles 2114 01:12:54,630 --> 01:12:52,800 away i mean 2115 01:12:56,790 --> 01:12:54,640 that's the kind of resolution you know 2116 01:13:00,149 --> 01:12:56,800 they can get in beyond that 2117 01:13:01,510 --> 01:13:00,159 um nowadays well anyway 2118 01:13:03,669 --> 01:13:01,520 as i'm sitting there all of a sudden on 2119 01:13:06,070 --> 01:13:03,679 the screen you see this this line 2120 01:13:07,430 --> 01:13:06,080 up here yeah and just go through the 2121 01:13:10,470 --> 01:13:07,440 field 2122 01:13:13,270 --> 01:13:10,480 um and it was moving you know i 2123 01:13:15,189 --> 01:13:13,280 i can't i can't discuss the actual shape 2124 01:13:17,270 --> 01:13:15,199 and and so forth because that 2125 01:13:20,070 --> 01:13:17,280 you know gives away some of the sonar 2126 01:13:22,550 --> 01:13:20,080 stuff so but i can tell you this 2127 01:13:24,950 --> 01:13:22,560 we saw something on this owner that 2128 01:13:27,990 --> 01:13:24,960 executed a path that was not like 2129 01:13:30,070 --> 01:13:28,000 anything um known 2130 01:13:32,470 --> 01:13:30,080 and the first thing that the sonar i 2131 01:13:35,189 --> 01:13:32,480 call the kid the sonar kid 2132 01:13:36,950 --> 01:13:35,199 did okay was he corroborated with 2133 01:13:40,390 --> 01:13:36,960 another sonar 2134 01:13:42,470 --> 01:13:40,400 all right that wasn't working with 2135 01:13:44,070 --> 01:13:42,480 this sonar with a separate system just 2136 01:13:45,990 --> 01:13:44,080 for that purpose in other words if 2137 01:13:47,270 --> 01:13:46,000 there's a torpedo coming at you you 2138 01:13:49,590 --> 01:13:47,280 really want to make sure you're not 2139 01:13:51,430 --> 01:13:49,600 going to fire um unless you can 2140 01:13:53,030 --> 01:13:51,440 corroborate that the sonar is not acting 2141 01:13:55,030 --> 01:13:53,040 up or doing something 2142 01:13:56,550 --> 01:13:55,040 so anyway and that's sort of a 2143 01:13:58,229 --> 01:13:56,560 simplification because 2144 01:13:59,750 --> 01:13:58,239 sonar systems are really really good and 2145 01:14:00,870 --> 01:13:59,760 you don't need a whole lot of double 2146 01:14:03,189 --> 01:14:00,880 coverage but 2147 01:14:04,870 --> 01:14:03,199 that all said um in this particular case 2148 01:14:06,229 --> 01:14:04,880 he looked at a second one and confirmed 2149 01:14:07,990 --> 01:14:06,239 it was there too 2150 01:14:10,390 --> 01:14:08,000 different shape different look but it 2151 01:14:13,270 --> 01:14:10,400 was there so he immediately calls 2152 01:14:15,510 --> 01:14:13,280 the xo the executive officer he says 2153 01:14:17,350 --> 01:14:15,520 sonar fast mover 2154 01:14:18,790 --> 01:14:17,360 oh like oh my god i'm in a science 2155 01:14:21,350 --> 01:14:18,800 fiction movie holy crap 2156 01:14:23,669 --> 01:14:21,360 i mean no no lie i suddenly just if i 2157 01:14:25,590 --> 01:14:23,679 was sick i had forgotten all about it 2158 01:14:27,350 --> 01:14:25,600 the executive officer i could hear him 2159 01:14:28,790 --> 01:14:27,360 coming and he comes right around into 2160 01:14:30,870 --> 01:14:28,800 this little sonar alley 2161 01:14:32,310 --> 01:14:30,880 followed by a couple other people and he 2162 01:14:35,270 --> 01:14:32,320 looks at the screen what do you got 2163 01:14:36,709 --> 01:14:35,280 and he shows them okay and as the other 2164 01:14:37,750 --> 01:14:36,719 guys came in they kind of crowded around 2165 01:14:40,390 --> 01:14:37,760 the screen and kind of 2166 01:14:40,870 --> 01:14:40,400 i backed away because it's not my boat 2167 01:14:42,390 --> 01:14:40,880 right 2168 01:14:43,990 --> 01:14:42,400 and i let them do their thing but i 2169 01:14:46,709 --> 01:14:44,000 overheard very clearly 2170 01:14:47,830 --> 01:14:46,719 and very precisely i heard the uh the 2171 01:14:49,350 --> 01:14:47,840 kids say 2172 01:14:51,510 --> 01:14:49,360 that it was moving at several hundred 2173 01:14:53,590 --> 01:14:51,520 knots wow 2174 01:14:54,870 --> 01:14:53,600 and he said and the and and then the 2175 01:14:57,030 --> 01:14:54,880 kids then 2176 01:14:58,790 --> 01:14:57,040 they actually looked at it did some 2177 01:15:01,510 --> 01:14:58,800 fiddling and and checked out 2178 01:15:03,189 --> 01:15:01,520 different ranges and stuff on the screen 2179 01:15:05,510 --> 01:15:03,199 were you talking about water or 2180 01:15:06,950 --> 01:15:05,520 below water no this was below water 2181 01:15:09,990 --> 01:15:06,960 that's what i thought you meant 2182 01:15:13,510 --> 01:15:10,000 yeah goodness and so he you know 2183 01:15:15,430 --> 01:15:13,520 the kid at the sonar said disposition 2184 01:15:16,870 --> 01:15:15,440 and he looked at the exo and the xo just 2185 01:15:19,669 --> 01:15:16,880 looked at him for a second and 2186 01:15:21,270 --> 01:15:19,679 and again i try to be very precise when 2187 01:15:22,630 --> 01:15:21,280 i retell this because 2188 01:15:25,350 --> 01:15:22,640 you know how what happens over time 2189 01:15:27,430 --> 01:15:25,360 people kind of add and embellish 2190 01:15:28,390 --> 01:15:27,440 i'm telling you all that i know and only 2191 01:15:29,910 --> 01:15:28,400 what i know i don't 2192 01:15:31,510 --> 01:15:29,920 there's nothing to add okay so i'm just 2193 01:15:33,750 --> 01:15:31,520 telling you exactly what it was the xo 2194 01:15:37,030 --> 01:15:33,760 just looked at the kid and he said 2195 01:15:39,669 --> 01:15:37,040 log it and dog it wow now 2196 01:15:40,790 --> 01:15:39,679 um what was uh that i guess you'd call 2197 01:15:43,189 --> 01:15:40,800 it a uso 2198 01:15:44,310 --> 01:15:43,199 what was the uh range how far away was 2199 01:15:47,189 --> 01:15:44,320 it from your 2200 01:15:48,870 --> 01:15:47,199 your sub actually don't know but i don't 2201 01:15:52,070 --> 01:15:48,880 know that actually in 2202 01:15:55,030 --> 01:15:52,080 if i did i probably um i probably forgot 2203 01:15:56,149 --> 01:15:55,040 over time and so i don't know because i 2204 01:15:57,110 --> 01:15:56,159 couldn't remember what the range was 2205 01:15:58,550 --> 01:15:57,120 because what happened was 2206 01:16:00,149 --> 01:15:58,560 when when it first happened he was 2207 01:16:01,510 --> 01:16:00,159 flicking back and forth and you can 2208 01:16:03,590 --> 01:16:01,520 flick back and forth all these different 2209 01:16:05,669 --> 01:16:03,600 range settings anyway 2210 01:16:07,189 --> 01:16:05,679 um and i couldn't really tell you know 2211 01:16:08,709 --> 01:16:07,199 most people think of a radar screen when 2212 01:16:11,030 --> 01:16:08,719 they think of sonar that's not what this 2213 01:16:13,110 --> 01:16:11,040 is it's it's a square screen you know 2214 01:16:14,790 --> 01:16:13,120 and stuff moves from top to bottom 2215 01:16:16,790 --> 01:16:14,800 you know if you look up los angeles 2216 01:16:18,790 --> 01:16:16,800 class submarine sonar online 2217 01:16:20,390 --> 01:16:18,800 you'll actually find you know some 2218 01:16:22,149 --> 01:16:20,400 really good examples 2219 01:16:23,750 --> 01:16:22,159 uh just don't go to the hollywood movies 2220 01:16:24,709 --> 01:16:23,760 they they turn them into you know air 2221 01:16:27,270 --> 01:16:24,719 traffic controller 2222 01:16:28,470 --> 01:16:27,280 type screens it's ridiculous um that's 2223 01:16:32,790 --> 01:16:28,480 not the reality 2224 01:16:35,990 --> 01:16:32,800 um so that all said you know uh 2225 01:16:37,590 --> 01:16:36,000 later on i walked up to the xo um 2226 01:16:39,030 --> 01:16:37,600 still very excited i was actually kind 2227 01:16:42,550 --> 01:16:39,040 of breathless when i saw this 2228 01:16:43,910 --> 01:16:42,560 because i i couldn't use you know uh 2229 01:16:45,830 --> 01:16:43,920 there was no one i could talk to you 2230 01:16:48,790 --> 01:16:45,840 know and back then 2231 01:16:50,790 --> 01:16:48,800 i think i had uh i don't even know if i 2232 01:16:53,110 --> 01:16:50,800 had a cell phone back then 2233 01:16:54,070 --> 01:16:53,120 holy cow in the mid 90s i must have had 2234 01:16:55,590 --> 01:16:54,080 it must have been 2235 01:16:57,189 --> 01:16:55,600 it was probably i think it was this 2236 01:16:57,910 --> 01:16:57,199 older one where you know every minute 2237 01:16:59,990 --> 01:16:57,920 was 2238 01:17:02,070 --> 01:17:00,000 25 cents or 18 cents i forget what it 2239 01:17:03,110 --> 01:17:02,080 was if it existed at all i don't even 2240 01:17:05,430 --> 01:17:03,120 remember back then 2241 01:17:06,950 --> 01:17:05,440 but i uh i went up to the executive 2242 01:17:09,189 --> 01:17:06,960 officer and i said 2243 01:17:10,310 --> 01:17:09,199 exo um i'm very familiar with fast 2244 01:17:12,149 --> 01:17:10,320 movers you know can you 2245 01:17:13,990 --> 01:17:12,159 tell me anything about this and he 2246 01:17:15,910 --> 01:17:14,000 looked at me and he said 2247 01:17:18,229 -->

show on artificial 2452 01:23:50,629 --> 01:23:48,239 structures on the moon 2453 01:23:52,390 --> 01:23:50,639 and i i can't give away any data other 2454 01:23:56,629 --> 01:23:52,400 than to tell you 2455 01:23:58,310 --> 01:23:56,639 that some of the images stumped me 2456 01:24:00,470 --> 01:23:58,320 and i don't believe they were 2457 01:24:01,750 --> 01:24:00,480 artificially created i believe 2458 01:24:03,590 --> 01:24:01,760 not the structures i don't believe that 2459 01:24:04,950 --> 01:24:03,600 the images were faked is what i'm 2460 01:24:07,430 --> 01:24:04,960 getting at 2461 01:24:09,110 --> 01:24:07,440 when i looked at these i was stunned so 2462 01:24:11,189 --> 01:24:09,120 that's 2463 01:24:13,350 --> 01:24:11,199 to me very interesting okay so i looked 2464 01:24:15,910 --> 01:24:13,360 at that and i was like wow 2465 01:24:17,830 --> 01:24:15,920 you know because that's that's that does 2466 01:24:21,189 --> 01:24:17,840 strike a visceral core to me because 2467 01:24:24,229 --> 01:24:21,199 to me if i were an alien 2468 01:24:27,189 --> 01:24:24,239 race of being certainly a tiny tiny 2469 01:24:29,430 --> 01:24:27,199 minority maybe just a handful coming to 2470 01:24:31,270 --> 01:24:29,440 a planet with billions of inhabitants 2471 01:24:33,350 --> 01:24:31,280 i would probably set up shop far enough 2472 01:24:35,030 --> 01:24:33,360 away that i knew they couldn't get to me 2473 01:24:36,629 --> 01:24:35,040 and then just kind of reach out and get 2474 01:24:38,390 --> 01:24:36,639 to them because 2475 01:24:39,750 --> 01:24:38,400 with some of the futuristic propulsion 2476 01:24:40,629 --> 01:24:39,760 we might be able to get to mars in just 2477 01:24:42,470 --> 01:24:40,639 a few minutes 2478 01:24:44,070 --> 01:24:42,480 so going from the moon to the earth 2479 01:24:46,870 --> 01:24:44,080 would you know 2480 01:24:48,950 --> 01:24:46,880 take you know no time at all for people 2481 01:24:51,430 --> 01:24:48,960 with that kind of advancement so 2482 01:24:52,629 --> 01:24:51,440 i'd set up shop did these pardon me for 2483 01:24:54,390 --> 01:24:52,639 interrupting did these yeah 2484 01:24:57,430 --> 01:24:54,400 images come from the orbiter or where 2485 01:24:59,189 --> 01:24:57,440 they come from well 2486 01:25:00,790 --> 01:24:59,199 that'll be made clear in the show i i 2487 01:25:01,510 --> 01:25:00,800 signed a document saying i can't talk 2488 01:25:04,709 --> 01:25:01,520 about it 2489 01:25:06,629 --> 01:25:04,719 but but gosh i really want to but 2490 01:25:07,830 --> 01:25:06,639 um oh i promise i'll edit it out if you 2491 01:25:12,070 --> 01:25:07,840 tell oh no 2492 01:25:15,270 --> 01:25:12,080 no no i'm just kidding yeah yeah i know 2493 01:25:17,270 --> 01:25:15,280 no but but the thing is um even in 2494 01:25:18,070 --> 01:25:17,280 person i i would respect the agreement 2495 01:25:21,110 --> 01:25:18,080 right but 2496 01:25:24,149 --> 01:25:21,120 um i'll tell you this um these 2497 01:25:25,189 --> 01:25:24,159 objects were in uh data that was 2498 01:25:28,950 --> 01:25:25,199 acquired 2499 01:25:31,430 --> 01:25:28,960 during the apollo years and with modern 2500 01:25:33,350 --> 01:25:31,440 orbiters that were circling the moon and 2501 01:25:35,590 --> 01:25:33,360 the thing that got me 2502 01:25:36,550 --> 01:25:35,600 was when i would look at an old apollo 2503 01:25:39,350 --> 01:25:36,560 image and see 2504 01:25:41,030 --> 01:25:39,360 something you know from lunar orbit and 2505 01:25:42,390 --> 01:25:41,040 say okay well i want that same frame 2506 01:25:44,629 --> 01:25:42,400 using you know 2507 01:25:48,070 --> 01:25:44,639 you know lro or clementine or something 2508 01:25:51,990 --> 01:25:48,080 like that and then see it again 2509 01:25:53,110 --> 01:25:52,000 that that was what i found to be very 2510 01:25:55,910 --> 01:25:53,120 compelling so 2511 01:25:57,350 --> 01:25:55,920 um right here at home our own moon for 2512 01:25:59,669 --> 01:25:57,360 crying out loud there might be something 2513 01:26:01,030 --> 01:25:59,679 going on there who knows i'm not a big 2514 01:26:03,189 --> 01:26:01,040 you know lunar anomaly guy 2515 01:26:05,110 --> 01:26:03,199 in fact i think most are you know they 2516 01:26:07,510 --> 01:26:05,120 say tricks of light and shadow 2517 01:26:09,590 --> 01:26:07,520 but one of the things that i did was i 2518 01:26:12,550 --> 01:26:09,600 created a way to actually demonstrate 2519 01:26:13,669 --> 01:26:12,560 live how those things actually occur by 2520 01:26:15,350 --> 01:26:13,679 literally creating 2521 01:26:17,750 --> 01:26:15,360 again i'm a special effects guy right 2522 01:26:20,310 --> 01:26:17,760 with with you know with the film arena 2523 01:26:21,110 --> 01:26:20,320 so i actually created a lunar surface 2524 01:26:23,510 --> 01:26:21,120 that we could 2525 01:26:24,149 --> 01:26:23,520 help with meteorites and other things to 2526 01:26:26,790 --> 01:26:24,159 generate 2527 01:26:27,830 --> 01:26:26,800 actual landforms dynamically right live 2528 01:26:31,430 --> 01:26:27,840 on camera 2529 01:26:32,709 --> 01:26:31,440 so um that that display 2530 01:26:34,310 --> 01:26:32,719 that thing in fact i used to take this 2531 01:26:35,270 --> 01:26:34,320 thing around i would actually take this 2532 01:26:38,550 --> 01:26:35,280 around 2533 01:26:40,550 --> 01:26:38,560 actually show people i've done this 2534 01:26:42,550 --> 01:26:40,560 before 2535 01:26:44,149 --> 01:26:42,560 and use different materials well anyway 2536 01:26:47,270 --> 01:26:44,159 it's really neat but 2537 01:26:48,470 --> 01:26:47,280 um you know we'll see how much gets into 2538 01:26:50,390 --> 01:26:48,480 the show i know that 2539 01:26:51,830 --> 01:26:50,400 again i can't say anything more about it 2540 01:26:55,189 --> 01:26:51,840 i won't but 2541 01:26:57,110 --> 01:26:55,199 i do know that uh there are uh 2542 01:26:58,310 --> 01:26:57,120 one or two images that i was shown that 2543 01:27:00,790 --> 01:26:58,320 i simply 2544 01:27:01,590 --> 01:27:00,800 couldn't explain and that i found 2545 01:27:03,669 --> 01:27:01,600 corroborative 2546 01:27:05,830 --> 01:27:03,679 data for you know from what they 2547 01:27:08,070 --> 01:27:05,840 provided so i was like wow 2548
