    This was recorded on my 50th birthday so thank you! One thing I'd like to point out about UFO's that Mr. Gaensler wholly neglects to consider is that while yes, we do have cell phones with somewhat decent cameras, they are mainly designed for close up shots and not distance. It is also very difficult, if not impossible, to focus them on small objects that are far away, and especially anything in bad lighting or at night. For example, watch a plane fly by up in the sky and try and get a good picture of it. It is difficult if not impossible even under good conditions.
    Secondly, most of the recent incidents of the last two decades that have been tracked by the military and also seen by commercial pilots are often over the ocean and or at very high altitudes. Lastly, we cannot just dismiss what is actual recorded evidence by the military and pilots including radar records of objects moving in and then back out of our atmosphere at extreme speeds that we humans are not nearly capable of. There is in fact a lot of evidence that cannot be easily shrugged off.
    While some events can of course be explained by professional skeptics such as Mick West, there are still many more events which cannot be simply dismissed as "anomalies". And to be clear, it's very disturbing that people like this, people who are apparently smart and dedicated to their profession, would so quickly and wantonly dismiss such incidents simply because it's not really within their area of study (when in fact it kinda, sorta actually is lol).
    My point is that these may just be the droids we are looking for. And just because we haven't figured everything out yet, it doesn't mean other potentially advanced civilizations who could have a million-year jump or more of evolution over us...already have figured things out. Just like how we are exploring Mars with what is essentially a drone, so could an advanced civilization explore us with super-advanced drones, possibly ones that are completely autonomous free-thinking AI that have developed over tens of thousands of years.
    Think about what we have accomplished just in the last 50 years with technology and now add 1,000 or 100,000 years to that and think where we could be. Therefore we simply cannot rule out the possibility, however extreme and unimaginable, that in various places of our galaxy we may have neighbors who are doing or have already done the same and much greater. It is estimated that there are 100 Billion or more Red Dwarf stars in our Galaxy. There's quite a lot of potential out there. So I say.. let’s keep the faith!

      Just because you "see" something on RADAR does not mean that it's a solid object. RADARs can be spoofed and this is a common military tactic. It wouldn't surprise me if many of the "UFOs" were actually Russian aircraft playing wargames during the cold war.

      @@kimchristensen2175 you really need to look at modern military radar and sonor technology as opposed to anything 60+ years ago. There is substantial evidence, only a small fraction of which was released about the 2004 F-18 incidents and others since then, but if you also take the time to listen to their accounts and the others since then you get a much bigger picture of the much larger powderkeg of data the US military is sitting on. And no, it’s definitely not the Russians or Chinese. No country on the planet has multiple craft that can come in from space, down to sea level in mere seconds, and then back up and out again. Nope. They tracked this stuff for weeks. Multiple events. Its not just some anomaly to fit in with people’s safe space. Sorry, but no.

    I'm an author on the LIGO project. The explosion did not shake the universe afterward. The vibration is what's recorded just before the two neutron stars or black holes joined. This is the result of the two bodies rotating around each other as they get closer and closer. Right afterward, there is no vibration and no gravitational waves are produced from an explosion.

      @@socialmeaslesinpartnership1252 Yes, I was there at the beginning of the LIGO project. I designed the 7 pick-off telescopes and the end mass telescope of the system.
      I designed the optics housing for analysis of the return beam from the ultra-flat mirror at the end of the right angled vacuum tubes. I also designed the device that calibrated the flatness of the return mirrors, a process that took over a week to analyze.
      I interchanged concepts and engineering data with several physicists at Caltech.

      No, he means that they do not explode. And the gravitational waves are generated before they merge to gether. When they do merge they do not generete then in the same amplitude. Grav waves are produced by the interaction of 2 blacj holes. Not the actual merger. Make sense?@@ilimitless

    After seeing a ufo 10 years ago, I feel annoyed that your answer to the question "yes, no, maybe?" was just a flat out 'no' it says a lot. My own experience was like a movie but it lasted 3 seconds. The 'flying saucer' I saw was being chased or followed by two fighter jets barely keeping up. It was a clear sky, bright blue mid day. But as everyone knows it's not an everyday occurrence to see what I saw. SO no I didn't have time to take any picture even though at the time I had an iPhone and could have if I was't in shock. It just happened all too quickly for me to react fast enough.

      So true. I feel the same way when I hear people say, “... is impossible because it violates the laws of physics”. The “laws” of physics. Aren’t most of those so called “laws” just theories? Even, arguably, the most important one isn’t even a “law”, “the theory of relativity”. The “Laws” of Physics are simply the theories of physics as we understand it “now”. If “we” are unwilling to think, design and function outside of the “laws of physics”, we will continue to stagnate instead of innovating and constantly making giant leaps in technology, advancing our civilization & species, in harmony with our galactic neighbors.

      @Phil Silverman The tech to get a human to alpha-centauri is soo very extreme, it is likely we will find other ways to achieve our goals (or find other more valuable ones) by the time civilization gets that advanced. While its a worthy attempt and will undoubtedly have important spinoff technologies (like Alchemy to Chemistry), the attempt to get a soft bodied creature like ourselves to the EXTREMELY violent high velocities needed for interstellar travel is even more crazy than the Alchemist desire to create gold from lead. You being hit by a grain of sand at those velocities is equivalent to a Hiroshima type nuclear bomb. In the 20th century, we "could" devote a quadrillion dollars to build particle accelerators to transmute a few grams of lead into gold, but it would be a huge waste of resources when we can do so much more interesting things with that technology that Alchemists never dreamed of. Along the same line, my feeling is by the time we have technologies which could make interstellar travel possible for humans, wasting our resources to create actually realize that would be silly. Long before we can rocket to the stars, we would have very advanced telescopes that will be able to allow us to virtually examine those worlds as if we were there, and possibly quantum supercomputers that can run simulations of an encounter with known aliens to 99.9999% accuracy, making the real thing quaint and unnecessary, and possibly also less valuable, intrusive, and dangerous. If our future culture desires or needs some form of intrusive agency on the universe (which is doubtful if any kind of prime directive is developed), we may be able to send out more "disruptive" probes or even our consciousness out into the universe through some complex electromagnetic soliton propagation that would be much more effective than sending our soft bodies. Who really knows, but whatever is the case, it is unlikely to be Star Trek or Star Wars, even if fantasies along those lines will allow us to the develop the more interesting and important stuff.

Also, the "hyperspace" drive used in Star Wars is closer to the wormhole idea than it is to warp drive.

    Just because we have a theorem or law that accurately describes a phenomenon, doesn't necessarily mean it is a correct representation. They are merely best fits, and if they are wrong even slightly, it can lead us down paths that may seem logical, but still wrong.
    Ex: Newton's laws describe accurately the motion of bodies in space to a point, but it took a complete shift in perception to get Einstein's relativity and special relativity.

Same with CERN, its an agreed theory that there's a tiny bit more matter than anti matter, and if there was even the same amount of antimatter as matter the whole universe would implode inwards on it's self. Yet... Here we are making antimatter.

    The craft is pointed perpendicular to the magnetic field of whatever star they're launching from. Depending on the mass of the star they want to decelerate at (stellar braking), the craft will launch from a certain percentage BELOW the chromosphere of the 'launch star' which allows them to come to a stop near the center of the 'brake star' at the destination. Journeys originating from very high-mass stars to very low-mass stars are possible but not typically used routes because if you're propelling from the corona of the launch star as opposed to the interior, they have to give something up....speed. The crafts speed is subject to the stellar depth it launches from while also subject to the stopping power of the brake star they're arriving at, so as not to overshoot the target destination system (star).

      The presenter made an error when he pronounced Dr. Miguel Alcubierre's surname; he mispronounced it as Alcubee-err which would be correct if the surname came from France. I have researched the origins of Alcubierre, and it's of Spanish origin, and in Spanish (I have learned to speak Spanish), the last vowel is always pronounced, thus Alcubierre is correctly pronounced Alcubee-err-eh.
      There was also an omission in the presentation on the Alcubierre (pronounced Alcubee-err-eh) Drive; Dr. Alcubierre used Einstein's General Relativity (this is the theory that models gravity as a warping of space-time around an object with mass, and deals with accelerating frames of reference) partial differential mathematical model, to find a solution for the 1D (1 dimensional) case, to demonstrate that it's theoretically possible to generate a localized space-time warp field, to allow a star ship to travel without moving because it's the localized space-time warp field that can move faster than the speed of light, carrying the star ship within this field.
      The idea for a localized space-time warp field that can travel faster than the speed of light, came from the Hyperinflationary model of the expansion of the Universe, worked out by theoretical physicists such as Dr Alan Guth. In this model, after the Big Bang the Universe's 'fabric' or framework of space-time expanded much faster than the speed of light. This was devised to explain why the Universe looks like the way it does as we currently see it. The basic idea is the faster than light expansion of space-time, allowed Quantum Mechanical fluctuations in the density of the energy-matter plasma mix to be 'locked in', and the initially 'grainy' texture of the varying density from vacuum to the energy-matter plasma mix expanded resulting in the current Universe, in which the energy-matter mix is not uniformly distributed throughout the Universe, but the energy-matter mix is localized into regions with vast voids in-between these localized regions. One good way to visualize this, is the 'soap bubble' Universe model, where the surface of the bubbles are the localized regions where the energy-matter mix is traced out as galaxies, and the space inside these bubbles are the vast dark voids, in which Astronomers have found no signs of any energy (i.e. no gamma rays, X-rays, Ultraviolet light, visible light, infra red light, radio waves) or matter at all.

    If the neutron stars colliding was "felt" through the entire universe - was that "shock wave" across the space time fabric at the speed of light such that it coincided with the visual observation of the neutron stars as they collided? Was the shock wave a gravitation force spike/notch tugging on the space/time fabric? Is this why you suggested a black hole was created momentarily? Why would gravity 'waves" propagate at the speed of light? Is there a connection therefore? Is the universe infinite in distance yet expanding at the same time? If so is a gravitation tug responsible for this accelerating expansion in all directions? Why is there no observable light based phenomena for this expansion force? Does phenomena in the universe share any similarities as we approach "infinitely" small and infinitely large phenomena? If so is there any commonality between black holes and this accelerating expansion force? Thanks.

    • @Razmatazuk

      Great questions and ones that I personally think have something to do with the foundations of reality. The waves from the colliding neutron stars must have been felt instantly through quantum entanglement, so there was no time delay and they were not travelling as such as light does. Just like if I held one end of a taught rope in Europe, and you held the other end in America, if I tugged the rope you would feel it instantly. Quantum entanglement I believe will unlock much more understanding into the reality of nature

    • @carloscastanheiro2933

      Answer 1- It's a gravity wave, it moves a little slower than light, so you would actually pick it up first on the telescope, and later on the laser detectors that detect gravity waves. Quantum Entanglement has nothing to do with this Raz, we don't have any way to detect Quantum entanglement. John Bell made a great experiment, that is still not proof of it, though. Answer 2-The connection is all physical matter can only travel at the speed of light. To travel faster, one must warp space, like the Alcubierre equation, which is theoretical. Answer 3- The Universe is not infinite, it's expanding. According to Buddha, this is actually the 84th Big Bang. Answer 4- Dark Energy is responsible for the acceleration of physical matter beyond gravity. This is why we have Stars moving faster on the outer rims of galaxies. The Universe is expanding and accelerating the expansion, it's Newton's law of thermodynamics and Dark Energy. Answer 5- The light hasn't reached us yet. Answer 6-Black Holes are points of incredible mass, they don't speed up expansion, they are also too small to slow it down. It is Dark Energy that is responsible for the acceleration of expansion.

      @@carloscastanheiro2933 the thing is, gravity doesn't travel. It is an effect on space time that we observe. If the universe is accelerating apart faster than the speed of light, this shows that it is not in effect travelling. Time is only subjective to us, in our frame of reference. So objects appear to be moving in time. But the true reality is everything is happening at once. This is what I'm referring to when I mention quantum entanglement, which is probably the wrong phrase for such a thing. My head starts to hurt thinking about such things, but they are fascinating none the less

      Well. Most probably the C/Lightspeed barrier is a major obstacle ,and most people don't even understand what C describes, and how slow light actually is.
      Primarily speed is defined from C, not the other way around.
      To talk about light one must first understand the both photo-electric effect and then the General relativity (including where it contains some problems/contradictions).
      Photons spends 30 000 earth years to travel along our own galaxy and 8 minutes from the Sun to us.
      On the large scale that is a real donkey.
      But in theory one could surpass it ,yet to know how one must know exactly what the problem with GR is, one must be very well studied in plasma physics and charge mechanics, and most don't/aren't.
      Let me put it this way : The issue is not sorted by having an evening course in anthroposophy or having watched an american TV show, coming to the lab with a high school equation written on a weed rolling paper.
