*If* we are being visited, it is likely not with conventional propulsion. It is insane that we are not talking about this as possible new physics. The conversation will go right back to technology, security, skeptism etc.
Anything but physical discussion of a physical phenomena.
And the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physics does not go to physics...
“Anything but Physics” has tremendous predictive power.
We can discuss Spin Foam.
Or Boltzmann Brains.
Or 3D Chern-Simons.
Or Strings.
Or Alien warp drives.
Or Quantum computing.
Or Calabi-Yau manifolds.
Or Machine Learning.
Or Tenure/PeerReview/Grants.
Etc Etc
But not physics.
Mark my words: “Anything-But-Physics”.
And I badly want to eat those words.
But we’ll literally do anything around advancing physics that does not amount to advancing theoretical physics.
There’s an “Anything But Actual Theoretical Physics” force field shielding us from GR+SM.
🇺🇸 NEW NASA CHIEF JARED ISAACMAN: TRUMP'S SPACE ORDER IS "MOST SIGNIFICANT COMMITMENT SINCE KENNEDY ERA"
Isaacson revealed that Trump's sweeping space executive order signed last week represents America's biggest space commitment in over 60 years, laying out plans for a permanent lunar base and nuclear-powered deep space exploration:
"It's been a week, we've been going near 24-7.
The president's national space policy is probably the most significant commitment to American leadership in space since the Kennedy era.
It reaffirms our commitment to return to the moon and establish the infrastructure so we can maintain an enduring presence.
Build the moon base.
From there we're gonna start making investments in nuclear power in space, nuclear propulsion so we can make that next giant leap in human space exploration. Extraordinarily exciting time at NASA."

We’ll do quantum computing.
We can do quantum information.
We’ll try fusion.
We’ll fund String Theory.
We’ll do space exploration.
We’ll celebrate chemical rockets.
We’ll have space stations.
We’ll talk meta-materials.
We’ll launch telescopes.
All to starve fundamental physics.
Has anyone else noticed how consistent this is? Anyone?
Anything that sounds like theoretical physics, but isn’t fundamental physics gets a green light.
This is glaring at this point.
Unmistakeable.
