|content=Who were Babson and Bahnson? Those stories don’t make much sense. Why Bryce and Cecile DeWitt and Peter Higgs in Chappell hill funded as part of a weird anti-gravity program?
 
Simple question: how did you tutor your priors last summer? Not at all? A tiny amount?
 
Skeptically,
E

|content=Hi Michael,
 
Not updating my priors on all UFO sightings. I’m updating my priors on [[The Golden Age of General Relativity|“The Golden Age of General Relativity”]], B DeWitt, L Witten, RIAS, the Martin Company, etc.” And I’m doing it based on a government report inconsistent with the closing report of BlueBook. And you?

|content=Dear @EricRWeinstein
According to UFOlogists 95% of all sightings for all time are explained by natural/terrestrial phenom (planes, blimps, geese, sun dogs, lens flares, etc.). 5% unexplained (≠ ET or Russian tech). X new sighting is made. Which bin is X most likely to be in?

|content=We have been spun. And as skeptics we have to notice the inconsistencies.
 
We were likely either spun this last summer, or spun at the closure of Operation BlueBook.
 
The whole thing sounds like total bullshit. But we also have a lot of weird stuff from real 1950s science.

|content=A claim that you find repeatedly when you look into [[UAP|UFOs]] is that Aerospace Companies hold the most advanced knowledge of Physics. Not academe.
 
I do **not** believe this claim. Happy to be wrong. Can someone tell me what its origin is? Why do so many believe it?
 
Thx #UFOtwitter!

|content=Note: I’m agnostic on materials science or condensed matter claims. I was trying to engage in fundamental physics beyond the [[Standard Model]] or [[General Relativity]] here. Likely unsuccessfully.

|content=And by the way, everything I put together I ran by experts like physics historian David Kaiser at MIT.
 
What do I make of the fact that most physicists know zip about this? We fictionalized this story to make it respectable. But it wasn’t. Our rigorous minds were getting jiggy.🙏

|content=You aren’t getting it.
 
For example: Feynman’s story about “The Alibi Room” is also about great math-physics minds of the 1940s-60s dipping into Aerospace companies (Curtiss-Wright in Buffalo). Same with Solomon Lefshetz. Likely Wheeler, Deser, DeWitt.
 
Y’all just never noticed.

|content=That famous “G-mu-nu” story where Feynman can’t remember which North Carolina University is hosting the Gravity conference? Is about Bahnson and an *anti-gravity* initiative. Again, you just didn’t notice because of the way we tell the story. Higgs? UNC Physical Fields institute.

|content=The entire [[The Golden Age of General Relativity|“Golden Age of General Relativity”]] is misportrayed. Feynman and Uri Geller? Pauling and Feynman at Esselen? The LSD stories? The story about nuclear powered airplane patents? It’s some super freaky pseudo-scientific seeming story about many of our greatest scientists.

|content=The fact that many of you never noticed is on you. Do I know what it means? No. My leading theory is that scientists disappeared into the military industrial complex to take $$ for pseudo-science. But that’s only one theory. Shoot the messenger if you like, but you didn’t get it.

|content=I’d like to point out that we don’t know whether we are functionally trapped in this solar system.
 
We are with modern science & technology. But we don’t know if it is easy or hard to escape this place. And we won’t know if we stagnate in [[General Relativity]] & the [[Standard Model]].

|content=This could include someone like Eric Davis, Bob Lazar, Travis Taylor, etc. maybe at blackboard talking over equations/Lagrangians, rather than merely speaking in prose
 
And if this doesn’t exist, why doesn’t it exist? Forgive me, but I don’t know the history here. Seems odd. Thx.

|content=Request for Help: have any of the technical folks claiming UAP knowledge been interviewed by technical folks w/ knowledge of General Relativity & Particle physics?
 
I would like to watch such a conversation dealing with the dry science of how UAP are claimed/thought to work. 🙏
