Dear Physicists We don't have smoking gun evidence. That's the point. We aren't asking for conviction, we are asking for a warrant. The bar for that is reasonable suspicion. Which we have. If the bar to start an investigation was perfect knowledge of guilt, no one would ever be convicted. Stop asking us for the evidence and start helping us dig for it please. It's your job to tell us how it's possible. It's not your job to tell us to stop trusting our Navy pilots, their corroborating sensors and our own eyes. That's the enemy's job. Please get on the right side and help us crack this nut so we can all move on. Start working on theories for how these things can pull 20 Gs. If we can crack the tech, then they have no reason to keep it hidden. Also stop complaining about blurry photos. These things are hard to see and they move fast. That's just how it's going to be. @neiltyson  says that's "scary" if true. Yeah, that's the point. ...

Can we invoke the "Anthropic Principle" as it pertains to the evolutionary path of an organism? The thought experiment goes like this. 1. We most likely exist on the evolutionary path most likely to produce a civilization.  2. Most other civilizations would exist on this path.  3. Organisms that shared a common evolutionary path, would share common physical traits. Conclusion: Most aliens look like us. This feels counter intuitive. It seems that in the vast reaches of the universe  life could evolve so many different ways that we'd be unlikely to find a species that looks like us. But I think the anthropic principle indicates that we may actually be more likely to find familiar faces out there in the stars. #UFOs #UAP #Aliens 

Projection is lossy.  The "Holographic Universe" is wrong. That's really all I need to say. You can project to lower dimensions from higher because you are removing information.  You can't go the other direction without making stuff up. Projecting from a lower dimension is like upscaling a video. You need to "fill in the gaps" of the information  you deleted when you encoded it. Optical illusions exist because information is lost when an image is projected onto our eyes. Our brain makes stuff up to fill in the gaps.  Even if projecting a 3d hologram ( star wars like ) from a 2d emitter, you have to borrow from the time dimension to restore the 3rd dimension. Meaning your 2d pixel needs to emit information that will create a light at one 3d location and "then" emit more information that will create light at another location further back or closer up.  Or it needs to emit information  that will cause light to emit at two or more temporal points in ti...
