As I explained in the thread on /x/ - most of the "explanations" in the video are just vague smatherings of physics terms with no rhyme or reason.

For example - at one point in the video the narrator claims that flying saucers use a "mercury plasma supercooled to 150 degrees kelvin" to generate some kind of 'physics cancelling' force field. There several glaringly wrong things with that sentence... least of all the fact that mercury is a solid below 234 kelvin.

I saw exactly one image during the video with any sort of formula on it - and it was very basic diagram showing how to write a discrete sum of states in bra and ket notation... which is completely meaningless in the context of the video. It'd be like putting a slide with nothing but a picture of the English and Chinese words for "asteroid" in a powerpoint for an astrophysics seminar.

I like you you're a funny guy

omg OP i was thinking the same thing

I hate to bring religion here, but I feel you guys know the answer to this question better than anyone:

A lot of people are saying the discovery of the Higgs Boson is proof of God's non-existence. Why is this so? Couldn't a theist just say "God created the Higgs Boson" or something? I mean, if they believe he created everything else, why not this?

Not a theist, by the way.

Things you didn't know about Sagan

By the age of 13, Sagan had developed an addiction to cocaine and other substances.[7][8] At 15, he harassed a group of black school children on a field trip by throwing rocks and shouting racial epithets.[9] When he was 16, Sagan approached a middle-aged Vietnamese man on the street and, using a large wooden stick, knocked him unconscious (while calling him "Vietnam fucking shit"). He also attacked another Vietnamese man, leaving him permanently blind in one eye.

Tell me why this won't work.

Space elevators main problem seems to be we don't know how to make a cable that's strong enough.

To work around this why not have powered platforms hold up sections of cable say 1 mile apart or what ever it would need to be. They could be held up by balloons or powered propellers.

Never mind how power is delivered or the logistics of having a huge number of platforms hover is it theoretically possible?

Happy Birthday Carl Sagan!

The first thought in the morning when I wake up is graditude for being alive.

I prescribe you more Carl Sagan Cosmos

Why do self aware people decide to be evil and hurtful towards other people?

I went to the librarian and asked for a book about stars ... And the answer was stunning. It was that the Sun was a star but really close. The stars were suns, but so far away they were just little points of light ... The scale of the universe suddenly opened up to me. It was a kind of religious experience. There was a magnificence to it, a grandeur, a scale which has never left me. Never ever left me.

glory...


Sit down over here boy.

Sit down over here breh.

Let me motivate you even further.

That too shall pass. No matter what you do with your life it doesn't matter. In a cosmic sense your pityful hundred years of life is a mere joke in the grand scheme of things.

If you insist having an importance to the advancment of human race and that's what you find meaningful... Delusion harder. There's hundred replacements for your actions.

Ashes to ashes, stardust to stardust
