Under Newton, we were free to explore the cosmos: 1686-1905.

Einstein then enforced house arrest to our solar system:1905-Now.

@elonmusk then said chemical rockets could get us 2 more spheres w Newtonian laws.

But survival hinges on going *beyond* Einstein, not back to Newton.

Did you really say that, Eric?

Like EVERY civilisation before us, not destroyed by some rival, we are on course to self-destruct long before we become a multi-planetary species.

Your Brother, Bret's, #EvolutionaryLens should reveal this to him, but doesn't seem to have done.

I’m not going to complicate the basic story with caveats. That’s the basic plot.

Either there is freedom to leave based on new ideas, like GU, or the Einsteinian restrictions will persist.

If they persist; we probably can mildly elongate survival here by decades via wisdom.

But if we can leave to explore the universe by going beyond Einstein, anyone else out there can visit.

This brings us to UFO/UAP. Assuming a distribution of life in the cosmos:: some life is behind us in science, with others ahead.

A (loose) argument then links UAP to survival:

5:01 PM Ā· Sep 14, 2022

If life is abundant & we’re not the top of the hierarchy (which is reasonable to me), I’d guess that UAP would be here if that is possible in Einstein’s successor theories. The absence of UAP is strong but *inconclusive* proof that Einstein’s restrictions persist in all theory.

5:05 PM Ā· Sep 14, 2022

Hence my interest in UAP. UAP from distant worlds would be a strong indication that it is possible to diversify our shared risk which is that all known technological life is dependent on one atmosphere linking our three main existential risks:

A) Climate
B) Pathogen
C) Radiation

5:08 PM Ā· Sep 14, 2022

So if #ufotwitter ever wanted to know why I didn’t take #UFO seriously, it was because I thought it was *preposterous* given lack of evidence.

And if #ScienceTwitter wants to know why I spun on a dime, it’s because it IS linked to the post-Einsteinian physics of our survival. šŸ™
