|content=As we saw over & over in the 20th century, any small change in physics can change everything almost overnight. From A-Bombs to Semiconductors.
The handful of PhD level claims are of negligible cost to investigate & dismiss compared to a single fighter jet.
DOE lost the plot.

|content=At this point, the story I am tracking isn’t “Little Green Men”. It is “Officials inexplicably change course on UFO narrative”.
Also, the story about “Technology never before seen.” Would make more sense with “Technology” replaced by “Physics”.

|content=The US/Europe seriously diverted attention from doing real theoretical physics almost 40 years ago in 1984 to explore physics inspired mathematics. Did China/Iran/Russia/Israel? I don’t know.
But I can tell you this: no one in government is appropriately focused on new physics.

|content=Imagine in 1900 some “crank” told you about thermonuclear weapons. Would you listen or laugh? Well, they’d be only 5 decades away with no aliens necessary. And powered flight hadn’t happened yet!
That’s how powerful a “new physics” advantage is. We’re behaving like lunatics.

|content=Any time ANYONE at least 1/2-way viable says something weird or kooky or interesting (Wolfram, Lisi, etc.) the cost of a Department of Energy 1hr phone call is negligible. Almost no one with that background says anything like this. Maybe less than 1 such PhD “lunatic” per year.

|content=Do I think Wolfram, Lisi, Kaku, Smolin, Klee Irwin, Sarfatti, Woit/Penrose etc are right or on the doorstep of new physics? No! But It’s also totally irrelevant to the security risk.
It wouldn’t matter to me at all.  I would check in with all of them: the cost is zero. The risk?

|content=The thing I like least about [[Theory of Geometric Unity|Geometric Unity]] is not being able to know what it would unlock if true, any more than Einstein and Bohr understood Lise Meitner, Stan Ulam & Edward Teller’s weaponization of New Physics.
We are talking about UFOs while not worrying about New Physics.

|content=Think about the g-2 muon anomaly. Have you heard as much about that suggesting the possibility of New Physics from high precision (rather than high energy) as you have about the TicTac [[UAP]]?
Similarly, how often do you hear about [[UAP|UAP technology]] rather than physics issues. Right??

|content=I have no idea what to make of the change in the [[UAP]] narrative. What I can tell you with certainty is that for such an ENORMOUS change in the narrative there is no sane explanation for the DOE not to be talking new physics risks and taking every one of the few claims seriously.

|content=This isn’t meant as a dig. I am trying to use your same exactly choice of normative framing that you used to dismiss my fellow inquiring minds in the wake of the UAP report. Happy to remove it if we can get rid of the invective. Thanks.
