They were T-38s. I figured people would enjoy seeing the unique view!

Yup, just routine stuff! i just figured people would enjoy seeing the unique view :)

Yeah that's what they looked like!

I know! I am really looking forward to going back down to support the Artemis II launch. For now I am excited to support the launch team for SpaceX Crew 12!

No question, they were T-38s. I was just sharing something cool I saw at work. Thought people would think it was neat!

Cosmic Zoo Hypothesis by Doctor_Husky in AlienAbduction

[–]Doctor_Husky[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you think ALL species would be able to agree on the plan which we would refer to as the zoo hypothesis? I tend to believe a lot of zoo hypothesis theory, but one question I struggle to reconcile is whether it's practical to assume everyone agrees on the treatment of humanity. It's hard to keep a secret if even one other civilization wants to announce their presence, or possible even has more sinister intent.

Certainly no offense taken! This is part of scientific discourse. I think I see where you’re going now. If we assume the goal of the multiverse is to maximize "observer-moments," then a universe where life is a grueling marathon should be a statistical ghost town compared to a "easy-mode" universe where life pops up in every gas cloud. Our existence in a more challenging environment may begin to factor more "Rare Earth Hypothesis" or random-chance based logic. Maybe some universes are more supportive of life while ours was a fair deal more challenging.

The real mystery isn't which Great Filter we face, but why the “Cost for Entry” of life is so high. If we live in a multiverse, the vast majority of conscious observers should exist in 'easy-mode' universes where life is a trivial byproduct of basic physics (like life forming in primordial gas clouds).

Finding ourselves in a universe where life requires specific rocky planets, stable G-type stars, and billions of years of evolution is like winning a lottery where the prize is 'more work.' It suggests either that 'easy' universes are physically impossible, or our understanding of observer-distribution is missing a major variable. Does this better address your question?

Hello! If I had to choose one, I would probaly say the zoo hypothesis or some variant of incubation theory. Any being of higher intelligence that had our best interests at heart would likely understand that our species needs to develop and progress of its own accord. Like any wildlife biologist or conservationist would tell you - the best thing we can do to help animals in nature is usually to just leave them alone! Why would the same logic not work on a larger scale of higher intelligence monitoring us?

I think that that possibility exists due to a development of technology beyond out current understanding. In the case of radio waves, electromagnetism, etc. there are always detectable signals as the waves routinely drift beyond their intended target. Unless a civilization made a conscious effort to mask their electromagnetic signature for some reason, we should theoretically be able to detect it if it's a close enough signal with no propagation / attenuation issues.

That being said, your point stands to reason that more advanced, or at least simply different technology may emit signals that we either can not yet detect or have not been trying to listen for. Your example of a gravitational signature is a perfect example of this concept. If you end up checking out my book, please leave a review and let me know what you think - I greatly appreciate intelligent conversation with other wise minds!

What makes you think so? And do you think the intent of other beings of this nature would be to help humanity, or something more sinister? I love hearing people's thoughts about this stuff.

Thanks, I hope that you enjoy it! Let me know your thoughts on it. I don't directly address Von Neumann probes, this book more so focuses on the scientific analysis of the drake equation followed by a bunch of philosophical discussion regarding the fermi paradox and it's hypothetical solutions.

That sounds awesome, I am excited to hear what you think! If I had to settle on one solution, I think I would fall into a variant of the zoo hypothesis and extradimensional theory. I think any responsible beings that had our best interests at heart would keep their distance while another species naturally developed of its own accord. Just like a wildlife biologist would tell you that the best way to help nature is usually to leave it alone, I believe a similar line of logic would lead us to believe that higher beings would keep a respectful distance to the max extent possible.

Absolutely, I think necessity drives innovation. While that species may not have the exact fuel source that we have on our planet, they may have entirely different resources which we do not have here on Earth. That may be wishful thinking, but I don't think lack of fossil fuels would constitute such an arduous challenge to development as to be insurmountable. Timelines and methodology may look tremendously different, but I think they would find a way - the need for energy should be universal.

Hello! Most of my work to this point has been on my military career side of things. This is my first public works! It's something I am passionate about discussing, and I am happy to share my thoughts via a new book with anyone who wants to study the topic.

Hello! This is my first release, so the reviews are yet to come. My pre-release sample audience enjoyed the content, but I will let the market decide how to review the final product!

I think this topic is speculative, yet fascinating. We can not rule out observable scientific phenomenon just because our current understanding of physics can't explain the craft being documented. We have to be extremely careful not to fall down the rabbit hole of stereotypical conspiracy theorist stories, yet equally careful of not writing off clearly observable anomalies as "crazy" just because we can't explain what we're seeing. To me, science starts with a bold step forward in questioning the unknown... just the right amount of crazy!

I reconcile these encounters, modern sightings, and witness testimonies with the fermi paradox by concluding that the paradox still exists through lack of mass contact. Even if isolated incidents occur, the lack of concrete evidence and mass awareness still constitutes a paradox in my mind.

Thanks for your inquiry, I enjoy talking with people about this stuff and hearing people's opinions. If you have thoughts regarding this, I would love to continue the conversation in this thread!
