UFO's at ISS

Post by GIThruster »

"Documents also reveal that UFOs are constantly tracked on ground radar, air radar, accompanied by visual conformation by military pilots who are scrambled to take a closer look."

That means the MIB must also be real.

TEDxLimassol 2014 - Robin Hanson - The Great Filter

Published on Dec 3, 2014


TEDxLimassol 2014 - Robin Hanson - The Great Filter

Robin Hanson is an associate professor of economics at George Mason University, a research associate at the Future of Humanity Institute of Oxford University, and chief scientist at Consensus Point. After receiving his Ph.D. in social science from the California Institute of Technology in 1997, Robin was a Robert Wood Johnson Foundation health policy scholar at the University of California at Berkeley. In 1984, Robin received a masters in physics and a masters in the philosophy of science from the University of Chicago, and afterward spent nine years researching artificial intelligence, Bayesian statistics, and hypertext publishing at Lockheed, NASA, and independently.

Robin has over 70 publications, and has pioneered prediction markets since 1988, being a principal architect of the first internal corporate markets, at Xanadu in 1990, of the first web markets, the Foresight Exchange since 1994, of DARPA’s Policy Analysis Market, from 2001 to 2003, and of Daggre/Scicast, since 2010.

TEDxLimassol - Everything you know is wrong

"The earth is flat”. “Home computers are useless”. “Humanity is condemned to be starved”. “Women are born inferior”. Throughout the years, pioneering scientific discoveries overturn established theories, vibrant societies transcend dominant perceptions, bold individuals expand physical and intellectual limits proving everything wrong: This is the way in which we seek to improve our lives and to deepen the understanding of the world around us. At TEDxLimassol we are searching for the next refute in small and large things: In the universe and subatomic particles. In our societies and in our bodies. In our behavior, attitudes and perceptions. In our mental, physical and personal capabilities. Proving everything wrong is always the right thing to do.

What made me want to take a look is his UChicago Connection. Some very bright boys there in the hard sciences.

And the soft sciences too. Saul Alinsky. Who, though dead, is whipping conservatives up one side and down the other.

conservative author William F. Buckley said he was "very close to being an organizational genius."[4]
I probably should add that my promotion of Polywell owes a bit to Saul.

I listened to most of it...still think one could explain the observed results of "dead" out there without needing some great scary filter by just making one Occam's Razor assumption; that intelligent life (at least of the tool making technology developing) kind is just very rare. Life of the microbial or simple multi-cellular type can be fairly common, but maybe complex multi-cellular life is just rare with intelligent life very much more so. That even works if I assume some kind of Sonny White type warp drive or something being possible. If there are just 0-10 technological civilizations active at any one time in the galaxy even assuming aggressive exploration/colonization/terraforming/mega-engineering going on when they are around, there could maybe be not much recent activity to detect in our part of the galaxy. I could even explain UFO's if I stretch the concept of rare a bit; assuming some kind of FTL they could get to us if they know about us in the first place. Their interest would be in our rarity; we would be a novelty no matter how relatively primitive we are compared to them; our complex multi-cellular life equally interesting (cattle mutilations) for the same reason, rarity.

Search for advanced civilizations beyond Earth finds nothing obvious in 100,000 galaxies

The orange color represents emission from the heat of stars forming in the galaxy's spiral arms. The G-HAT team used images such as these to search 100,000 nearby galaxies for unusually large amounts of this mid-infrared emission that might arise from alien civilizations. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/WISE Team


After searching 100,000 galaxies for signs of highly advanced extraterrestrial life, a team of scientists using observations from NASA's WISE orbiting observatory has found no evidence of advanced civilizations in them. "The idea behind our research is that, if an entire galaxy had been colonized by an advanced spacefaring civilization, the energy produced by that civilization's technologies would be detectable in mid-infrared wavelengths—exactly the radiation that the WISE satellite was designed to detect for other astronomical purposes," said Jason T. Wright, an assistant professor of astronomy and astrophysics at the Center for Exoplanets and Habitable Worlds at Penn State University, who conceived of and initiated the research.

Roger Griffith, a postbaccalaureate researcher at Penn State and the lead author of the paper, scoured almost the entire catalog of the WISE satellite's detections—nearly 100 million entries—for objects consistent with galaxies emitting too much mid-infrared radiation. He then individually examined and categorized around 100,000 of the most promising galaxy images. Wright reports, "We found about 50 galaxies that have unusually high levels of mid-infrared radiation. Our follow-up studies of those galaxies may reveal if the origin of their radiation results from natural astronomical processes, or if it could indicate the presence of a highly advanced civilization."

In any case, Wright said, the team's non-detection of any obvious alien-filled galaxies is an interesting and new scientific result. "Our results mean that, out of the 100,000 galaxies that WISE could see in sufficient detail, none of them is widely populated by an alien civilization using most of the starlight in its galaxy for its own purposes. That's interesting because these galaxies are billions of years old, which should have been plenty of time for them to have been filled with alien civilizations, if they exist. Either they don't exist, or they don't yet use enough energy for us to recognize them," Wright said.

WISE cannot image infrared to points small enough on the surface of for example a planet, which it cannot see at all. It can't detect planets.

If what you want to do is search for extraterrestrial intelligent life, you need to look for a gravinertial signature, which is what the acceleration in the expansion of the universe is. We've a;ready found evidence of life in the cosmos.
