      To "decode the unknown" about the "red mercury": Know how ancient Chinese emperors drank mercury to become immortal? Alchemists (proto-chemists, some of which just outright snake oil sellers, going off of outdated models of how the world worked) produced this "elixir of life" from refining a red-colored stone referred to as "the philosopher's stone", resulting in a magical-looking silvery liquid metal. Meaning, this "philosopher's stone" was simply cinnabar, the ore of mercury.

    Fun fact: things in orbit around us, like the ISS, are NOT in zero-G. The station and it's occupants experience the same pull of gravity as we do here on the ground. But, as in the parabolic arc dive of the "vomit comet' aircraft, the station etc is just falling down. But it has been given enough angular momentum to miss the actual impact....... It just keeps falling. Everything in every orbit is just falling towards a center of gravity, and missing.

    Oh! I live in Lower Silesia and I know the tunnels you are talking about. Project Riese in Owl Mountains. By the way, you can visit them and it is worth it. It is around 3 hour drive from Prague I think. While antigravity machine probably wasn't produced there, it is still crazy shit. The fact is that we have no clue what those tunnels where for. Based on the documents about building materials, we can estimate that optimistically we discovered half of the tunnels. We know that the project got a yearly budget equal to the one for building bunkers for civilians across whole Germany. Moreover, Germans were sure they will return to the area, they never thought it will be part of Poland, so they were only hiding stuff. You can feel this mystery solving urge when you are there...

      Chat GBT is decent with a pitch of salt approach. I'm currently doing some research on a politician and looking into his family's politics. Chat GBT just straight made up nonsense and said his family were not political BUT Wikipedia says his family were and then defected to another political party BUT anyone who does actual research like I did when I looked for a good political biographer said they were members of a political party but didnt overly follow up on it but did campaign on political and social issues which is basically the correct answer.
      So, yeaaah I'm not as addicted to Chat GBT as Simon is. But, it got a decent answer which I think Simon was happy with.

It was pretty silly because it had the North Koreans as the bad guys; one who basically got white face plastic surgery and was the main villain, and the other henchman had diamond shrapnel embedded in his face.

      It’s a fantastic show. I’m really glad you found and enjoyed it. It really makes me mad at how we went from the Apollo program to basically just driving around the block in a bus we called the space shuttle. It’s like my grandparents generation made this incredible space program and then my parents generation basically shuttered it because there wasn’t instant profit involved. I wouldn’t be surprised if China beats us back to the moon. In fact I almost hope it happens. That way we would take Mars a lot more seriously since the Chinese could potentially beat us there as well.

    6:10 - I couldn’t agree with you more concerning “For All Mankind.” It’s a very binge-worthy show, but it often tosses aside realistic Human behavior and motivations in favor of advancing the Very Important plot. I’m constantly yelling at the screen, “That’s not how people behave!” Although Joel Kinnaman is a very likable actor and has done some good roles, he’s not exactly killing it as Ed Baldwin. The character of Margo Madison has really grown on me, however, and Wrenn Schmidt is perfect in the role. The less said about the character of Aleida Rosales, the better. … All that said, I look forward to the next season!

      I'm still in season 1, so I'm way behind on everything, but I was wondering which actor he meant! I was kind of leaning toward the guy who played Deke Slayton. Ed Baldwin's role alone on the moon requires an outstanding actor because he isn't interacting with anyone. It's a heavy lift for a good actor, let alone a mediocre or poor one.

    If the lift is created by aerodynamics (e.g. airplane wings), then it is called flying. If the buoyancy is caused by gas or hot air, for example, we speak of driving like in shipping (at least in German, JAWOLL! :) ). Rockets "fly" not because of fins that only stabilize, but because of the recoil of what is thrown out of the engines.

    Feels like it's been forever since I heard a Katy script. Favorite Whistlerverse writer, though "Simonverse" is so much catchier. And wow, you know Simon really feels strongly about the Ancient Aliens dude when he doesn't even say "allegedly, in my opinion." But I don't understand where Interstellar came into play. Most of that movie was fairly realistic precisely because it DOESN'T have gravity-manipulation technology. All the weird gravity shit came from the black hole. And the closest thing I know of to "working out some equation" is that they created an unusually accurate visual simulation of a black hole for the movie. As I recall, there were claims in the media that the movie led to "new discoveries," but these were oversold at best.
    It's actually a stereotype that engineers are the STEM field most likely to believe in pseudoscience. Speaking of conspiracy theories, the sad fact is that the same people who believe we have Nazi antigravity technology likely believe completely contradictory conspiracy theories like that we don't have the technology to go to the moon. Conspiracy theories have this weird property where the more you get into them, the more you'll just believe any old shit so long as it's "not mainstream," & it doesn't matter if they're incompatible with each other. They're somehow all true & the person will just be unable to see the contradiction. This is a big part of why it's so hard to pull people out of conspiracy theories once they buy into them. It's almost literally like they have anti-logic armor.

    If the Nazis did possess something like Die Glöcke, I think it might be a fair chance they had no real idea what it did. Like, they built it to theoretically do A, but it actually does B, C, D, skips E, and then does F through Poundsign and then makes a last stop a "rep27@g÷$smerp!" for the memes. I mean it's full of radioactive goo, it could supposedly *desolate* an 800yd radius around itself, rot plants alive, turn your blood to ammonium nitrate crystals, and hover in place while it was at it. But what does it do that's *useful?* Or that at least doesn't turn your DNA into spaghetti.

    Back in history , a Italian monk designed a theoretical vacuum airship. If a metallic hull could be created to resist the vacuum inside it would become a mechanical buoyant craft inside of the atmosphere . While only theoretical at the time it could be put that someone knew of the design and actually made something viable and actually got it airborne.
    Multiple accounts across the lore of UAP/UFO have it that at least one of the craft was recovered from a archeology site. Supposedly India during the Nazi documentation expeditions. But also a strange sphere found in the Italian Alps under a glacier or in a glacier canyon. Fun story. What if these anti gravity items are just really cleverly made human engineering at its finest. And modern people like Lazar where brought it to see if they could figure out how it was done.
    It would be funny that if the Aerogel vacuum drone ships(actual thing) are the remnants of the project paperclip and they developed a R&D with the department of energy to replicate and perfect German tech, from just mildly older human tech.

But the poor sane guy they have on the show pointing out that the so-called "henge" for "die Glocke" is actually the foundation for a water tower and he showed pictures of pretty much identical structures built in Germany at the time. I assume Simon will address this (or, more accurately, his writer will). I will soon find out.
