Since this thread was created, the James Webb Space Telescope has made a shambles of the BB model. I've collected probably 100 articles about scientists being shocked, flabbergasted, stunned and just plain annoyed by the "early" universe's refusal to conform to BB predictions. The most distant...

Turns out Van Flandern was right. The 30 biggest problems with the Big Bang loom larger than ever before, thanks to Webb: https://www.spaceandmotion.com/cosmology/top-30-problems-big-bang-theory.htm The final nail in the coffin--the point at which a critical mass of BB proponents finally throw...

LOL. It must be so easy to be a pseudo-skeptic. You can just make stuff up and pretend to explain things. Never seen a football field sized balloon, but if you say so! Do you happen to have an image of these alleged helium balloons or 100-yard wide, masterfully engineered wired balloons? Sure...

Okay, fine points. My assumption is that the universe is teeming with life and civilizations of all stages. Groups that are here now are probably millions of years advanced compared to humans, who have gone through various stages of evolution over our existence.

I thought I made it clear that I don't care about convincing you. I'll say it again: I don't care what you have concluded after doing no research. You can't even be bothered to watch the hearing. The only reason I ever engage with pseudo-skeptics is to encourage those watching from the sidelines...

It depends on the criteria, of course. The fact that humans can't go a millisecond without bombing each other suggests we've barely evolved beyond "monkey." With my apologies to the actual monkeys out there. In the hearing all three of the witnesses admitted our most advanced jet fighters would...

It's not my job to convince you of anything. Create whatever standards and ignore whatever evidence you like. It doesn't matter to me. Others can check out the hearing. Given the obvious direction the UAP discussion is going (that aliens are a threat to national security), I'd also suggest...

There is no observational evidence of any of those things. All of them are inferred from indirect evidence, much of which is only in the minds of humans (and their computers). That's my point. We infer models based on educated guesses. The only reasonable interpretation of the testimony we...

I was skeptical going into the hearing. However, Grusch in particular had a shocking amount of candor. He basically said he had the names of the perpetrators both in government and the corporate world. He has locations and a significant number of first-hand witnesses. The other witnesses said...

So you must think the "dark matter" and "dark energy" and the Oort Cloud are shams since they can't be detected and/or have never been observed. Or the "big bang," or black holes, both of which are logical impossibilities. Correct? Or are you fine with inferring their reality indirectly? Defense...

I have no doubt every possible verification of ET material has been done already. The problem is that it's hidden away in illegal Special Access Projects that 99.999% (there's your five-nines) of us will never see. So you'll likely be waiting a long time before someone delivers you a peer...

Those seem like some pretty unreasonable standards. Our entire judicial system rests on testimony, "expert" and otherwise. In the vast number of cases we have to make a judgment about whether something reflects consensus reality without benefit of "a box full of samples." Maybe O.J.'s glove...

Why are you arguing about something you haven't bothered to watch? Kinda silly, if you ask me. I share your bitterness in not ever being included in whatever these guys do behind the scenes. Blame the military-industrial complex and its trillion dollar per year black budget. They've got the...

So you didn't watch the hearings, I guess. Because Grusch says he interviewed 40 witnesses, including several first-hand, who have project names, locations and dates. Congress members vowed that they will convene the Special Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs) in which such top secret...

Have you watched the hearing? If not, why not? Have you already made up your mind until you're hand delivered physical proof? That's a tenuous position at best. But we all have our way of dealing with this topic. It's very clear to those of us who have been reading about this subject, viewing...
