An astounding number of Canadians love that polished turd.

Looks like the establishment is full of virtue signaling assholes who could t be arsed to follow their own party line.

Did we really send a bunch of Dick pics into space as a response to the wow signal???

That is a good observation. That’s why I let someone else do the tasting first.

Is this an alien bug or is this something from Earth’s past that has been reintroduced? Or both?

It sounds like a gift!

Hey the first person that finds one please report back on how they taste

Can I ask you if we have everyday machines, such as an ultrasonic transducer or sonar or radar, that inadvertently bleed off energy into this quantum “channel” that a beacon would use?

In other words, do some of our not so state-of-the-art technologies cause this “CB radio with the limiter cut” effect?

Ok no more kitchen towels and underwear haha. Thanks for sharing

That’s understandable

Better laundry? I’m listening

Thanks, I had no idea the Devorah were behind that. They did us a huge favor.

Have you ever tried plugging in a USB cable once, didn’t work, flipped the cable over, and flipped it again? At this point, if you didn’t know anything about USB cables, the rational thing to do is quit trying to plug it in because you just proved that it doesn’t fit. But because you know better, you keep trying to get the damn thing to fit because you know it was designed to fit.

What I’m getting at is yes, things that are discussed in this subreddit have not been proven, but great utility comes from knowing where the answer lies to look.

One things you may have missed was the day RD told us to watch for falling rocks in a discussion about North Korea. This was a very unusual tidbit, as it is very rare RD gives us outright predictions of short term events. Less than 24 hours later, there was an earthquake in North Korea and their nuclear test facilities were crushed in a landslide. Now, that in itself doesn’t prove that RD is who he says he is. But it does tell us that he has access to information that any old troll wouldn’t.

I agree with the sentiment that people on the web are miserable. It seems that a lot of great people just don’t have time to waste online, and the anonymity of being here makes it a lot easier to treat others like they aren’t actually people.

Man you always have a lot to say, not that we're complaining!

I once had a class where I was shown a map of North America during the Pleistocene era. The coast of the southeast US really extended out there, in some places hundreds of miles further out than it does today. those maps are really cool. Here's a page with a map if anyone's interested: https://imnh.iri.isu.edu/digitalatlas/geog/native/text/history.htm
Anyways, I always think of that when you talk about drowned civilizations.

At a different time, I had a class once where the professor argued that we do not need cash at all, and everything could be purchased using our smartphones and credit card. That irked me. Do we really want to live in a world where uncle Sam charges you for Venmo-ing money to your nephew for his birthday? Do we really want to live in a world where Amazon wipes out your savings because you walked into it's brick and mortar store and the AI checkout "glitched" and charged you for a billion cans of peas when you actually only grabbed one? Not that these things can't already happen, but there should be a fail safe in case the banking system fails and that fail safe is other forms of currency that are more hardy and not governed by a central body.

Anyways, appreciate the info, as always.

I came across this document on the CIA's website about an experiment where a clairvoyant tells about a dying race on Mars 1 million years ago. The experiment is interesting in that they give the clairvoyant a time and place inside a sealed envelope, and the clairvoyant has to tell about the events at that setting without opening the envelope. So at the time, he didn't know that he was talking about Mars, but I digress.

https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00788R001900760001-9.pdf

Could you tell us what happened to that race on Mars? Was Mars a green planet with billions of years of evolved life like Earth, or was it a work in progress from this race that failed?

Didn't you say that the moon was used by C's race to inject Mass into the Earth 1 million years ago to break the ice age?

If so, maybe this restoration of Earth was to give this race on Mars a new home as well as Life on Earth a new chance.

Please feel free to correct me if I'm getting any of this wrong.

If you don't mind me asking, what would the pros and cons be if everyone had this same power that you have? Would speech as we know it go extinct? Does speech have any significant advantages over this telepathic communication?

​

In the story about the tower of babel, God took away our power to communicate with each-other because we were too unified, too effective per se, and that decreased our dependency, our need, of God. Makes me think that our old form of communication was superior, though maybe the forcing of us to use speech instead of telepathy was a blessing in disguise?

Ah, it's all making sense now. Thanks for the clarification.

Nice dude. Are these your videos? Do you like the Alan Parson's Project? It's not quite the same music but I can see some similarities. I love that progressive electronic feel that makes you sit back and think about your place in the universe.

Though I do believe you, something's not right when I think of people living that long. Though Homo sapiens live the longest among land mammals, the lengths of our lives are still on the same order of magnitude as other old world primates.

https://chimpsnw.org/2013/03/how-long-do-chimpanzees-live/

I can't help but think that if our lives were shortened, so were the lives of other primates like us. It may even be possible that whatever shortened our lives also shortened the lives of many other creatures on Earth. Are the telomere's that cap our chromosomes somehow actively induced to shorten, or was this reprogrammed into our DNA long ago?

I’ve never heard of this. Can anyone listen to it? How do you test it?

Dude I'd like to but so far the skies have been overcast. Damn hurricane.

I’m eager to hear from them. I think we all have some self reflection to do.

I’m the meantime I’ll keep my eyes open. I have some celestron skymaster binoculars that I like to use. I’m not sure if those are good enough but it sure beats the unaided eye.

Do you think they’ll make some changes to make the place more hospitable? Do they have the capability to speed up the planets rotation? It would be amazing to have a second blue and green planet in the solar system.

My cats have fish breath and I still love them XD.
I just had some anchovies on my pizza so I shouldn’t be the one to talk. Have anything to say about human’s breath?

Damn, are the ships really that noticeable?

Is it because clubs are trendy and so are (were) fidget spinners?

I’m okay with either as long as there’s a place where I can sit down and hear the people I’m trying to talk with.

Not sure if I follow. The plasma of fire results from combustion, so you are considering the meaning of him using “Fire” instead of using the word “plasma,” because plasma can occur anywhere but fire requires extra conditions such as an atmosphere and combustion?

I would also like to know; specifically what kind of diet will make us the least cattle-like.

Hey, I found something:
https://youtu.be/G9-N-nIqc4g

In this video, he drives one axle fast with a drill and the other axle turns slowly. If this would be implemented on this flywheel bike, the driven axle would be opposite as in this video. The funny thing is, this “cvt” could be implemented using levers as peddles due to the ratcheting mechanism. Also, the whole thing looks like a block and tackle!

So this simple but revolutionary thing is a test?

Or is it for exposure? I guess a bunch of people will become aware of this subreddit if people become aware that this cool new bike idea was “born” here.

I’m not sure what I did but I’ll take it! 😊

Man, I need some of that enthusiasm! Have any ideas on that block and tackle drive? I’m thinking the large distance covered by the legs “pedaling” the levers can translate into a small distance of belt pulling on the flywheel at a crazy drive ratio of 20 or 40:1. I don’t know. Gotta figure it out

Yeah, the transmission will need to be worked out. From RD’s description, it seems the power flow goes from leg levers —> block and tackle thing —> flywheel —> pulley transmission —> wheel. I guess this means you have to wind up the flywheel for a little bit when you first hop on the bike before you take off, though if you wanted to be really fancy you could design a way to bypass the flywheel when the user first starts pedaling.

I’m still not sure how to get the block and tackle to wind up the flywheel to huge rpm’s. Like, it could be done if you use enough mechanical advantage, but how do you adjust the drive ratio when you first start pedaling so that you don’t spend forever winding up the thing?

Wow, a steam engine. Were they popular at that time, or did you grandfather like to tinker/design such things?
I like the focus on using only the body for transportation. It’s elegant and upholds a certain self-reliance. Sometimes I like to think about making a bicycle trailer like the one Paul Elkins made and travel across the US in it.

https://youtu.be/ZiejAhol4Ps

There’s also the East Coast Greenway, which would be a great way to travel the coast, but there’s a lot of trouble completing it and making it continuous.

https://www.greenway.org

Anyway, bicycles are cool and I do remember some popular mechanics article in the past critiquing bicycles by saying their form factor doesn’t allow good power transfer from the body. I can see how levers really might be the way to go on this to allow a more natural pumping action.

Sure, just have to develop a drive capable of larger speed ratios.

Is an interesting suggestion. I guess it sounds a bit heavy at first thought.

The key would be using a flywheel that has almost all of its mass towards the outer portion of the wheel. Since this is a bike, I can't imagine using a flywheel that has a mass more than, I don't know, 2-5 kilograms?
To maximize the radius of the flywheel, it could be placed inside the rear wheel of the bike.
Assuming the flywheel is a thin disk, 25cm in radius, and 5 kg in mass, we can calculate the mass moment of inertia I:

I = mass * radius^2 -->
I = 5 * .25^2 = .3125 kg*m^2

Now, it looks like the average bicycle rider can sustain 100 watts. It would be great if we could get 300 watts for 10 seconds out of this flywheel, which would be 300 J/s * 10s = 3000 Joules of energy.
The formula for rotational energy is E = 1/2 * I * w^2, with w being in radians/sec.

Solving, we would need the flywheel to spin at 138.6 radians/sec, or 1323 rpm to contain 3000 Joules of energy.

This is assuming we have a CVT system that can smoothly transfer and extract energy out of this flywheel as you are riding.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuously_variable_transmission

Lastly, assuming the cyclist pedals at a comfortable 65 rpm, the CVT would have to have to be capable of a 20.4:1 "gear" ratio to achieve 1323 RPM.
In comparison, the highest gear ratio on a typical bike is 4:1.
If you had two sets of 4.5:1 "gears" on your CVT, you could get a ratio of 20.25:1, which is pretty good.

I'll play info-bot for those interested. The cone-like pulleys are often called CVT's. They are relatively new in automobiles but they have the advantage that you avoid the "stepping" of gear changes and can "sweep" the drive ratios to drive at the desired speed while still allowing the engine to turn at it's most efficient speed.

Here's a simple CVT: https://goo.gl/images/4xgFtD

Yeah, fungi is weird stuff, and we definitely are ignorant as a people of what plants and fungi are capable of.

There was a podcast I listened to that talked about some relationship trees have with some mycelium that allows plants to communicate and transfer nutrients to each other through a fungal “highway”. I look at trees differently now.

Lol, so Dark Matter is just a camouflage of ordinary stuff???

So we are like the homeless dude on the street, with a cup in our outstretched hand while the rest of the universe walks by avoiding eye contact? LOL. That somehow makes existentialist dread laughable. Or maybe I have a warped sense of humor...

So, that means my consciousness is still doing something when I'm sleeping, but not dreaming?

Woah!

So are there beings/people that dream the whole time they are asleep and remember it later? I wonder what is being filtered out.

Is Ra a ciggy bumma or does he buy his own smokes?

This amazing documentary:

https://youtu.be/R8VyUsVOic0

Water seems to "contain" EM signals that it is subject to.

The next question is, does this info relate to the beacon? RD dude says hydrogen dances with its brothers, and water is mostly hydrogen. He also alludes to cups of water resonating with each other.

Let's imagine an experiment:
Imagine we took a sample of pure water that's been sitting in the sunlight. Then, we divide that sample into two separate samples. Then, one sample is subjected to a pulse, while the other sample is in another room sitting on top of a "microphone" of sorts. Would we hear this other sample pulse as if it's somehow tied to the first sample through some spooky action?

If anything comes out of this experiment, imagine if we collected the light emitted from the Chi Sagittarii star group.

It is disappointing. The song isn't THAT bad.

A baboon isn't so bad, rainbow butt and all

Are you by any chance talking about the fossil remains that brought about this guy?

Oof owie my presumptions

You're right about force feilds. The only fields I know about are either electromagnetic or gravitational, and gravitational fields are really just magic because we don't know how to manipulate them without using obscene amounts of matter or energy.

Do the barriers only work on substances that conduct current? I'm imagining the barriers as a powerful magnetic field that causes any high speed electrically conductive projectile to decelerate or vaporize due to the induced eddy currents from the projectile interacting with the magnetic field.

Have you tried a star in a jar? It doesn't produce much power but it might be easier to run experiments with.

Use the force, Luke(as)

I wonder if they talked to him in person or if they used the force?

Yes I am a dingus.

Did Star Wars really happen a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away?

They will tank entire economies by oversaturating the market with deliciousness.

Yeah, I forgot about that part. Though didn't Glycon mention that all hydrogen born of the same star "dances" with its siblings? I guess I'm challenging the notion of physically aiming a signal vs feeding information into the "dance" and then using it like a computer network. Maybe the "bumping" of the hydrogen needs a direction so that the hydrogen on the other side "bumps" back?
That might make some sense in the context of "aiming" a signal.

I wonder if there's any quantum numbers of hydrogen that have yet to be discovered that would help us out with the beacon. I also wonder if communicating with hydrogen is a little like the internet. From what I know, when a computer sends out a packet of information on a network, all of the computers on the networks see the message. The way a computer knows if the message is intended for that computer is by reading the IP address in the message and then comparing it to its own address. If the addresses match, the computer deciphers the rest of the message and so on...

So here are some questions:

1. Can hydrogen atoms be configured to have their own addresses, or are they responding to all other hydrogen atoms in the universe at once?

2. Can the quantum numbers of hydrogen be manipulated to act as an address? Maybe the relative spins of the protons and electrons of the atom are a way of choosing what "network" they communicate on.

3. Lastly, does reading information from the hydrogen atom destroy or affect the ability of the hydrogen atom to communicate with its brothers? Wouldn't it be cool if we had a device for "poking" hydrogen in various ways, and a different device that could monitor some hydrogen? Then, we could "poke" the hydrogen atom #1 and then monitor hydrogen atom #2 to see if there is any correlation between their behaviors.

I don't expect anyone to have definitive answers. I'm just rambling here to get some ideas out there.

I think I could handle being a mosquito. Breed, feed, stick around for a couple weeks, fly around, then die. Doesn't sound very exciting either I guess.

I bet Gazprom likes the sound of that.

Now that you mention it, there are some intense pulsing sensations that sometimes arise when I am relaxed.

Hold on a second...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/8475009/

I am going to take you literally if/when I come down with cancer, you know that right?

Wait, we can't teleport? What a rip-off!

Since the hydrogen atom is just a proton and an electron, perhaps the nuclear magnetic resonance (proton resonance) and the electron resonance, can be measured against each other, eliminating the need for a universal North Pole.

Have any thoughts on the electron?

Huh, and to add onto that, the melody even becomes repetitive, becoming a foundation onto which variations of it can be expressed.

Maybe music has two parts: the repeated portion, and the "irregularities". The repeated portion establishes a structure that which the irregularities can be seen.

By any chance, does the glass bottle "ring" as it hits the stairs?

I bet the blue collar workers of West Virginia would be thrilled to start mining again XD

I agree. This extremism is tiring and distracts from viewing other issues at hand. It seems every reactionary movement feeds an opposite reactionary movement.

*pokes brain a few times

Yeah, it's a little mushy

Glass is a dielectric. So lowering the permittivity is done with a dielectric of some sort. All dielectrics man knows of raise the permittivity...

I wonder if glass makes a good enclosure.

C'mon, throw me a bone here!
I've read that the permittivity of free space was derived from the force acting on two parallel wires carrying current. I haven't come across any experiments testing the assumption that this constant can't be manipulated.
I've been thinking about an experiment: accelerate a charged capacitor while measuring the voltage across it. If the permittivity of free space changes under acceleration, you should be able to see a difference in capacitance via the measured voltage. I'm making a few assumptions, such that acceleration is the same as gravity, that gravity either changes or is the product of distortions in electromagnetic properties of free space, and that extreme acceleration is needed-because if the effect was too obvious, someone would have measured it before.
Any thoughts?

Are there any instances of a civilization going to war with the A.I. they created? Is A.I. going to be much of a problem?

Let's see, I have a recording of a local young men's choir I can share:

https://soundcloud.com/user-48362620/sound-of-silence-young-mens-choir

The recording quality is subpar but the performance was excellent.

I'm a bit late here, but I've been wanting to ask this question: Does faster than light travel use some sort of mechanism to manipulate the permittivity of free space? If so, what are the basics of this mechanism?

There could be quite a lot of "water worlds" in the area. Does Europa count?

Oh God. They showcased that "program" every chance they got at my Univerity. For some strange reason "Vagina Monologues" just didn't peak my interest at the time.

Is there a way to "heal" ourselves to see these things?

Funny story,
One time when I was a kid I ate some rotten walnuts that had been cooked over the campfire. Later that night I had gotten sick and I saw the ugliest looking flying creatures in the trees. I was paralyzed with fear. They had faces like the goblins in Harry Potter and had heads disproportionately large for their small bodies... was probobly just the walnuts though XD

I guess two particles could be entangled by an intermediary particle or signal? Hmmm

Yes. It intrigues me that there may be a way to entangle particles light years apart using a recorded message. Previous intuition always told me that particles had to interact locally with each other at one point in time to be entangled... anybody have any thoughts on that?

There's one other thing that comes to mind when I think of capacitors...they are great for "tuning", or attenuating unwanted frequencies out of a signal. Usually this is done with an array of capacitors, as each one attenuates a band of unwanted frequencies out of a signal. Many variations of capacitors can be used to produce the desired filter...

This is possible because different capacitors charge and discharge at different rates. If your capacitor is across your signal, and If your capacitor charges and discharges much faster than the rate of change of your signal, then the capacitor does not affect your sinusoidal signal much. But, if your capacitor charges or discharges much slower than your signal, your signal is shorted. Due to the nature of waveforms, ANY predictable waveform is equivalent to a multitude of "added" sinusoidal signals. If you short out some unwanted sinusoids but leave others, you have filtering.

Edit: I would like to add a little background: Sometimes, usually when napping, I experience a semiconscious state where I hear lots of static, and a lot of voices, as if I'm at a convention and people are talking among themselves. On other occasions, a voice among the crowd will be directed at me. I'm wondering if this transition between being awake and sleeping is a sort of "tuning", or maybe I'm experiencing a different phenomena :p

Thank you for posting this info, garbotalk. Here is a link to the Ohio's big ear telescope. One thing that brings up questions is they say no audio recording equipment was present to record the signal at the time. What they do say is that the recording had the same frequency that hydrogen emits when excited.
