|content=@delbel156 Iā€™m trying to keep this channel open.
The Portal is a communal resource. It reappears when you both need it and are prepared to fight for it. I cannot answer the interpersonal attacks myself as a public figure. Think about it a bit: Itā€™s not haters.Ā  Itā€™s a bit more serious.šŸ™

|content=Iā€™m happy to answer a few.
Itā€™ll be fewer than Iā€™d like. I was invited to participate in the press conference about to start, but that project is totally separate, so I politely declined the gracious offer of my hosts, as I came here as *unaffiliated* observer.
How may I help?

|content=@andyinberlin I am not as sure as you are that this what is going on. Itā€™s a matryoshka problem. Iā€™m convinced that many people you think of as insiders are not really inside enough. The UAP/UFO community leaps to MANY conclusions as if this is fun. This is not fun if you are serious about it.

A) The basic *claimed* phenomena.</br>
B) Associate phenomena.</br>
C) Cover up of the above.</br>
D) People in the know living a lie.</br>
E) Outsiders being destroyed to keep secrets.</br>
F) Outsiders being forced to live lies.

Iā€™m not inflating my level of knowledge here. I still donā€™t know.

But it is *psychotic* not to have Particle Theorists, General Relativists and Differential Geometers all over our US effort. I have yet to meet one in two years. Makes me very suspicious.

I mean, I get it. But itā€™s nonsense. This is not about tech. Itā€™s about post-GR/SM physics or a psyop.

|content=@McLuhanStates @LueElizondo There is a lot of loose talk about dimensionality. Keep in mind that I have zero direct evidence of the phenomena. So this is wildly premature.
My interest here is that GU replaces one manifold with two in a bundle structure and adds BOTH temporal and spatial dimensions.

|content=@McLuhanStates @LueElizondo As the author of GU, I still donā€™t know how to think in multiple temporal dimensions. The math is quite exotic. But I at least know through GU that the math can FORCE us to confront ultra hyperbolic PDE. It would change everything we know if unscreened. No simple Hamiltonian.

|content=@McLuhanStates @LueElizondo I wish people would stop talking about higher dimensional beings though. If GU is on point, then we are also higher dimensional beings. So I could do without Exoticism. If this is in any way real, we should reserve speech for precise meanings. And I donā€™t know if it is real. Yet.

As I said before, I have no idea what to make of the UAP shift of our government. But I do know that this period is unlike *any* other epoch. And there are many *different* unprecedented things that could happen so close to the source code as we have been for 50 to 75 years.

The number of higher credibility officials or former officials choosing to walk right up to, yet generally not over, the line of confirming alien encounters via UAP has changed markedly.

I have always avoided UFO discussion. This makes that impossible:

High level government officials have given UAPs credibility, but it's still pretty hard for an outsider to analyze the evidence objectively. It's all video footage and testimony. We need much stronger evidence to form any real opinion on UFOs being extraterrestrial or not.

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 donā€™t know.

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 ā€œlunaticā€ per year.

Do I think Wolfram, Lisi, Kaku, Smolin, Klee Irwin, Sarfatti, Woit/Penrose etc are right or on the doorstep of new physics? No! But Itā€™s also totally irrelevant to the security risk.

I subscribe to an unpopular position. Consider 3 kinds of šŸŒŽ:

A) Ones with no life or at least no life within striking distance of the source code (ToE).

C) Root level access.

2:15 AM Ā· Jun 29, 2021

Now, if you can jack into the cosmos as ā€˜Rootā€™ it MAY facilitate stuff thatā€™s unimaginable (e.g. dimension hacking) yet only one remaining big upgrade away from being able to fuse nuclei. Which is where we are now.

Iā€™d guess all civilizations that are Root care about each other.

2:15 AM Ā· Jun 29, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

The following is pure speculation (Tutored by experience w/ GU):

I think we sent a signal to the cosmos in 1945 and then on Nov. 1, 1952. Fusing Nuclei is what you do JUST before you become root. If this is right, we let the cosmos know ā€œEarth is root adjacentā€ w/o awareness.

2:15 AM Ā· Jun 29, 2021

Is there anyone in the cosmos listening? Perhaps not. But we are all acting as if living on a terrestrial surface with the ability to fuse nuclei is some totally normal thing due to <70 years of good luck. Which is insane.

Now what if Iā€™m right in the above and the cosmos cares?

2:15 AM Ā· Jun 29, 2021
Eric profile picture.jpg

The idea of a newly space-time-faring unwise civilization with fresh root level access is a nightmare. And no one but no one on earth takes this seriously anymore. After 1952 fundamental physics went on progressing normally for ~20yrs. So after that itā€™s been~50yrs of stagnation.

2:15 AM Ā· Jun 29, 2021

In those ~50yrs we learned to stop worrying. About Fusion-weapons, interstellar travel, a cosmos that listens or even our ability to progress to the end. In 1984, physicists were talking about the end of physics without irony. They then failed, while failing to report failure.

A key point. We use cosmic rays as if they were from an accelerator. There is an outside chance that UAP should be thought of the same way.

If weā€™re hurting for new physical phenomena to analyze, some portion of our physics effort should be spent debunking or understanding UAP.

For those of you speculating on channels reaching out to Sam Harris, myself and others on UFO/UAP. There was a minimum of one planned dissemination that got called off for reasons unknown. I am not at liberty to discuss. But I can say why people like Sam are likely to be quiet.

What has so far been released to the public by government has been minimal. No one I know wants to incinerate credibility becoming a true believer over a tiny number of relatively low quality USG videos which, at least to me, prove absolutely nothing.

So then: why be interested?

3:13 PM Ā· May 12, 2022

Because there is an ocean of weird behavior and claims coming from otherwise sober seeming USG and former USG people. And a lot of it is weirdly consistent. So Iā€™m totally underwhelmed by the direct evidence so far. But Iā€™m baffled by the indirect evidence. What generated this?

3:13 PM Ā· May 12, 2022

I wonā€™t speak for @SamHarrisOrg. But I failed to generate *any* good explanation for the repeated and fairly consistent assertions of DOD/IC types with no evident training in acting or theater. To say nothing of ordinary non-USG people. Soā€¦none of us knows what to think. Truly.

Something huge is up. It could be a psychological operation. It could be next generation spoofing by an adversary. It could be mass psychosis. But I donā€™t want to speculate beyond a decision tree. Something huge *is* up. And I dug hard, but failed to get beyond indirect evidence.

What is worse, the most parsimonious explanations are the obvious two:

One request: stop speculating. Some folks are reaching out. They pulled back a bit. And I for one may stop talking about this if asked due to the security issues. But that which has been shared with the public is not enough to go on. Itā€™s the indirect evidence we are watching. šŸ™

@MickWest Mick, I donā€™t know how to communicate this, but you seem to want to be a dedicated debunker here. What direct evidence has been shared with the public, on its own, doesnā€™t seem to require this level of aggressive debunking. Itā€™s just not that compelling. I agree with you on that.

Some portion of the USG is saying we are repeatedly being visited by non human technology. Some other portion of the government is saying ā€œDonā€™t say thatā€ either because it is a lie or they want it to stay hidden.

@MickWest Obviously a lot of serious people are scared about reputational attacks. But this isnā€™t in range of just debunking a few videos anymore. Something is going on. We just canā€™t know with confidence if it is real deception or real phenomena until real data is released. Clear?

It may all be an elaborate lie. But the basic stories are pretty consistent. And one of them is that the UAP take an asymmetric interest in our advanced militaries. Unfortunately, that is also consistent with military disinformation, weapons R&D, spying, etc. i.e. cover stories.

5:14 PM Ā· Sep 12, 2022

So one version of events is that the military holds this high quality video/data because the UAP focused on our advanced militaries. The other version is that UAP cover stories are used by the Military to disguise what are sensitive security issues. But without the hard dataā€¦ šŸ™

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.

4:43 PM Ā· Sep 14, 2022
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

Iā€™m not going to complicate the basic story with caveats. Thatā€™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.

4:49 PM Ā· Sep 14, 2022
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

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
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

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

5:05 PM Ā· Sep 14, 2022
Eric profile picture.jpg
Eric Weinstein

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 didnā€™t take #UFO seriously, it was because I thought it was *preposterous* given lack of evidence.

@McLuhanStates @LueElizondo There is a lot of loose talk about dimensionality. Keep in mind that I have zero direct evidence of the phenomena. So this is wildly premature.

My interest here is that GU replaces one manifold with two in a bundle structure and adds BOTH temporal and spatial dimensions.

11:24 PM Ā· Oct 24, 2022

Eric Weinstein

@McLuhanStates @LueElizondo As the author of GU, I still donā€™t know how to think in multiple temporal dimensions. The math is quite exotic. But I at least know through GU that the math can FORCE us to confront ultra hyperbolic PDE. It would change everything we know if unscreened. No simple Hamiltonian.

@McLuhanStates @LueElizondo I wish people would stop talking about higher dimensional beings though. If GU is on point, then we are also higher dimensional beings. So I could do without Exoticism. If this is in any way real, we should reserve speech for precise meanings. And I donā€™t know if it is real. Yet.

After studying this issue for 2yrs, Iā€™m pretty convinced that there ARE wild looking vehicles in secret high security locations. But I also find NO SIGN OF OUR TOP PHYSICISTS. That is a huge red flag. If you had fake UFOs, you would have a puzzle for physics: What is the science?

4:13 PM Ā· Nov 10, 2022

A true recovered interstellar craft would be like LHC or LIGO data: potential scientific data for physics beyond the Standard Model and General Relativity.

4:13 PM Ā· Nov 10, 2022

So my ignorant question is this: are there stories of building fake UFOs for sites in Nevada? Ohio? Are there fake retrieval teams? To what extent does faking military equipment spill into faking a UFOgasm for decades?

So, at this point, the stories of craft kept at secret locations is most likely to be true in my opinion. But it is also true that all the top physics talent that was working only semi-covertly on suspicious gravity projects left by the early 1970s. So any craft may be faked.

4:13 PM Ā· Nov 10, 2022
Eric profile picture.jpg

Either way, itā€™s a big deal. Everything changed in the early 70s. Itā€™s impossible to say how much. The moment the Mansfield amendment came in, physics began to stagnate. And ā€œQuantum Gravityā€ destroyed our culture of science. We donā€™t even whisper about its ā€œAnti-Gravityā€ origin.

So to sum up: there do *appear* to be craft. But advanced armies all build dummy weapons.

I donā€™t mean to rain on any parades, but the complete absence of high quality data made available to scientists is both a MAJOR clue and an impediment to figuring this out. It is interpreted as the government not wanting scientists to investigate. Thus, it makes it sound like BS.

Many of you are asking for my reaction regarding the just released @DoD_AARO report. There is much to say. I want to think carefully before saying more. I am not unsympathetic to US National Security needs in this.

In February of 2023, @joerogan invited me for four hours onto the world's largest English Language program (episode #1945) to describe in detail the mystery of potential US Government involvement in UFOs and Post-Einsteinian physics during the mysterious "Golden Age of General Relativity". It has been seen and discussed by millions as expected. I was thus eager to see how thorough this report would be by combing it for search strings raised in my research.

CONCLUSION: This report purports to have studied the questions raised surrounding UFO/UAP related research of the US federal Government. It, in fact, appears to have studied a carefully chosen SUBSET of the claims selected from among those which appear to have mass appeal to the so-called "UFO Community." It completely, or nearly completely, avoided reporting on all questions surrounding issues which have been raised in serious research and by PhD level researchers who have raised scientific questions in this area. This continues the pattern of using PhD level government scientists who appear to avoid the actual research questions most likely to involve sensitve Special Access Programs and Stovepiped Research which are compartmentalized by design. Whether the omissions are due to issues of avoidance, misdirection (e.g. so-called Limited Hangout strategy), ignorance or incompetance cannot be discerned from the information given.

RECOMMENDATION: It is simply not possible to treat the current AARO report as historically complete or comprehensive. To gain the public trust, the successor to AARO would have to expand and redo this analysis with input from domain professionals who are trusted by the public not to have an apparent agenda or government background (e.g. Prof. David Kaiser of MIT or Dr. Nima Arkani Hamed of IAS, Prof. Brian Keating of UCSD, Avi Loeb of Harvard) Otherwise, it is relatively easy for scientists to "Follow the Silence" in government reports to see what is *not* being addressed or discussed.

Today the DoD released our Historical Record Report Volume 1.

AAROā€™s report covers more than 70 years of the U.S. record relating to UAP, draws from interviews, archival research, and partnerships across government and industry.

NOTE: Above reference to the work of Prof. Kaiser and to JRE #1945 are included to establish that both were in the public domain, independent, in high levels of agreement, and that there was *ample* time for AARO to investigate these claims which appear not to have any impact.

No. You are correct.

Assume even that beings were using additional hidden dimensions to traverse space and time. You still wouldnā€™t talk like this. Itā€™s just mental sludge.

I can riff a bunch of equally vapid vibe terms:

ā€œDigital Seraphimā€
ā€œEnergetic Consciousnessā€
ā€œDistributed Cognitionā€
ā€œDisembodied Guardiansā€
ā€œPlasmic Willā€
ā€œResonance Lifeformsā€
ā€œVibrational Travelersā€
ā€œRetrocausal Projectorsā€
ā€œTrans-Temporal Sentinalsā€
ā€œAutonomous Vaccum Faunaā€

This is just super embarrassing. This is the level of us as a country now.

Am I crazy to assume that this is internally facing propaganda rather than actual interdimensional beings?

šŸ”„šŸšØBREAKING NEWS: Rep. Anna Paulina Luna just broke the internet after claiming she has seen evidence of "interdimensional beings" with credible people reporting "movement outside of time and space."

"They call them interdimensional beings. I think that they can actually operate through the time spaces that we currently have."

"I can tell you without getting into classified conversations that there have been incidents where very credible people have reported that there have been movements outside of time and space."

This comes after claims of a possible alien invasion in December by Harvard scientist, and several reports of aliens and UAPs in the last 4 years like the incident at the Bayside mall in Miami which has never been fully reported.

Something is coming whether it be real or fake be prepared.

Yes.

I think the US almost certainly has at least one fake UFO program. A decoy.

Think of that decoy as putting out bad information to confuse adversaries. But what does it due to our own scientists?

Now imagine a post relativistic gravitational theory group PRTG here on earth. You would imagine that our own government would be working with that PRTG. Because that group is trying to figure out if we are trapped here, the last thing you want to do is to have the f****ng decoy program polluting our own understanding.

I think the morons in our decoy program forgot to bring in their own PRTGs. Because to a PRTG, UFOsā€¦.real NHI craftā€¦.would be key data. And fake craft is just feeding your own scientists poison and polluting their own understanding.

So we donā€™t have ANY top tier PRTG in this game. Thatā€™s what makes me think there is only a fake UFO decoy program. OTOHā€¦

Can you explain your thoughts a little better?

Have you put any thought into whatā€™s actually going on specifically in the null hypothesis case? Whatā€™s this all for? Itā€™s not clear to me at all that there is any sensibility in either direction.

Continuedā€¦.on the other hand it sure looks like in the 1950s we set up two cut outs and created ā€œThe Golden Age Of General Relativityā€.

And then in the wake of Howard Morland and John Aristotle Phillips, it kinda looks like we stagnated and soft sunsetted real open research in fundamental physics with a preposterous story about String Theory and Quantum Gravity. Which makes no sense to anyone honest after 40 years of failure.

So that is pretty odd. Scientists donā€™t shoot down new ideas for 40 years to protect one known not to work. That isnā€™t how science works.

So that opens the question, is there a second secret physics program (like a Manhattan Project for Gravity 2.0) and perhaps a second UFO program. A non decoy. And while I see no direct evidence of NHI craft, we do have a mystery as to why the U.S. would destroy its own commanding advantage in fundamental Physics over string theory and its obvious failure. It just doesnā€™t pass the laugh test.

The only thing I can wonder about is if we figured a bit of new physics out that lead to new Manhattan Project-level secrecy around all fundamental physics. Maybe 50 high ranking people (e.g. @SecRubio ) arenā€™t lying with the skill of Pacino and Brando. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø.

Something is way off. We arenā€™t doing physics in the open any more. And we arenā€™t asking our own people for help. So you would be crazy not to wonderā€¦WTAF?

This is, unfortunately, consistent with a second Manhattan project on Gravity. This is exactly how secret science works. For example: We stagnated chain reaction research outside los Alamos and continued doing successful physics inside the compound.

Well, the first part of this is true today. We are dead in the water in university level fundamental physics beyond GR and the SM. The second part is unknown. Is there a place where you can get paid to succeed at physics rather than paid to do things which are known not to work? I just donā€™t know.

Moral: Physics when done well and right, is very very dangerous after all. And I want us to get back to doing physics that will go way beyond Einstein.

Even the kind that goes boom:šŸ’„
