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."

Physics’ Overton Window.

We can talk about CRAZY stuff that’s irrelevant to our lives & never progresses: Boltzmann Brains, Many Worlds, String Theory Unification, AdS, Super-partners, etc.

We can’t talk about anything that COULD suddenly change everything. UAP, other TOEs, etc

My point isn’t at all that low probability topics are likely to change everything. It’s that we feel *safe* knowing certain crazy ideas always seem to lead nowhere. But we feel unsafe when we don’t know if what we’re looking at *could* surprise us by suddenly changing our world.

The unwillingness to turn our own physical data over to our own scientists makes this whole thing sound to me like we are choosing to fake extra-terrestrial visitation. That would be the main reason to think this is all a moronic psy-op. But why do that? It can't work in the end.

“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.
