FLHerne: been watching old sci-fi?
<Althego>
hehe
* packbart
just been listening to a mixed bag of sci-fi books
<packbart>
ship acceleration varies greatly. for some, 10g is the maximum, while the Space Carrier Avalon can "only" do 200g, with smaller ships and missiles pulling 500-1000g
<Althego>
funny thing is there are things called inertial dampeners, thy just do something elser
<packbart>
yeah, I think The Antaran Codex had those. and "bubble drives" instead of the "Alcubierre-Stetson" (the Stetson fields nullify the bad effects of an Alcubierre shifter)
<SporkWitch>
interestingly, was somewhat talking about this with someone else the other day because of the nonsense UFO testimony in the US congress last week (read: "don't look at what's actually been confirmed about dirty deals, look over here at the aliens!"
<SporkWitch>
was trying to explain why we KNOW aliens haven't come here because there'd be no way to hide it. We have nothing conclusive to even imply a reactionless drive is possible, and thus we'd have decades to watch the solar system capture burn
<packbart>
that also varies greatly depending on author :)
<packbart>
some can only "warp" far outside the system's gravity while others can drop in anywhere without notice
<SporkWitch>
the alien testimony was absolutely hilarious, though. "did you find the pilots?" "we found biologics in the debris" (not what she asked, "biologics" could be a leaf from the ground), forget the phrasing on the next question, but the guy says it's "non-human," rather than saying outright it's not from earth lol (once again, a leaf would fit the phrasing and he wouldn't be lying under oath)
<packbart>
while the wormhole jumps in The Expeditionary Force produce noticable gamma bursts
<SporkWitch>
packbart: oh sure, i was talking RL, though
<SporkWitch>
guy kept insisting the EM drive is confirmed because they keep getting the same results, despite those results being so weak that no one can decide whether it's noise or an actual effect
<packbart>
ah, right. well, the usuall assumption is that The Aliens have much better laws of physics than we peasants do
<SporkWitch>
my position is that we have no reason to think we're THAT wrong about basic physics. While we still find out we're wrong about things, the degree to which we were wrong is exponentially smaller with each refinement
<packbart>
I think the "non-human" thing was not to exclude the possibility of lizar people from the hollow earth
<packbart>
+d
<SporkWitch>
(e.g. Asimov's "Relativity of Wrong," in which he uses the shape of the Earth: flat earth is wrong, but so is sphere, but sphere is less wrong than flat compared to equatorial bulge, and equatorial bulge is less wrong than sphere compared to the bulge being slightly off from the equator)
<SporkWitch>
it's all just distraction from the real stories that broke that week. But my position is that the UFO stuff has always been a counterintelligence op. We know they were working on experimental aircraft at Area 52. Come up with an intentionally bad cover story (weather balloon and swamp gas), do an intentionally bad job of selling it, and seed the alien story. Now the government's covering up
<packbart>
I did find it interesting how the story morphed, though. Chinese whispers and all that
<SporkWitch>
aliens, and people aren't looking at what things actually are.
<packbart>
according to one streamer, Congress interviewd the "Chief of Intelligence" and the "Carrier Commander"
<SporkWitch>
*area 51
<SporkWitch>
yeah, the whole thing is just ridiculous lol
<packbart>
ah, well. as long as I don't get probed, I don't care :)
<SporkWitch>
no, they just teach about probing to 6th graders now lol
<packbart>
if it *is* aliens, I'd rather expect Douglas Adams to be right. It's just rich alien kids in dad's space racer, trolling them stupid planets for fun
<Althego>
hehe imagine if one is caught after crashing into a building. i am sorry, it was just a prank
<packbart>
maybe we get some shiny baubles if we don't call the Space Police
<Mat2ch>
How much lead time does a congressional hearing have?
<Mat2ch>
Should be weeks or even month.
<Mat2ch>
So how do they plan month ahead to distract from something that happens then?
<packbart>
the first hearing was last year, I think. I wouldn't read too much into the timing
<Mat2ch>
I'm just destroying conspiracy theories here.
<Mat2ch>
Please move along. :P
<SporkWitch>
the difference is that past hearings actually appeared to be legitimate concern over unidentified craft in US airspace. Now it's "aliens!" with perfect distraction timing. And the ~~propaganda~~ news is running stories complaining about people not being interested in the aliens, because they don't want people looking at the real news that's coming out
<Althego>
what are they distracting from?
<Althego>
elections or what?
<Althego>
more than a year away
<SporkWitch>
things i'm not allowed to go into detail in on this channel and why i've limited my statements to saying it's a distraction from what actually came out the last couple weeks
<Mat2ch>
They're destracting from the summer slump.
<SporkWitch>
if you're giving a temporary exception on the politics rule, i'll explain, but otherwise i'll leave it as what i have: it's a distraction
<Althego>
cant do, i would rather stay ignorant
<packbart>
I think I know and I don't really care, tbh. It's far-away-land from here :)
<SporkWitch>
perfectly fair, and out of respect for the rule, i kept it intentionally vague
<raptop>
Calling terrestrial craft "UFOs" to obscure their actual capabilities (and nationality) is definitely plausible
<SporkWitch>
it is a technically correct term, it's the counterintelligence/psyop that has people conflate UFO with extraterrestrials

going back to area 51 again, we know they were doing work on experimental aircraft there at the time. More recent stuff sounds like experimental drones.
<SporkWitch>
Government more openly investigating I think is an indication that they're not sure whose they are (read: they're not ours). But that's not what last week's testimony was; that's not legitiamte investigation, that's nonsense and distraction
<packbart>
raptop: the new term seems to "UAP", so it doesn't really need to fly nor be an object
<Mat2ch>
Well, I would just ignore what some newspapers publish and wait if there will be something published after the hearing behind closed doors.
<Mat2ch>
Next year we might get to know more.
<SporkWitch>
i wouldn't hold my breath lol
<Mat2ch>
For a year? Nah. :P
<Mat2ch>
But could result in an easier way to report such phenomena, which would help to explain them if there's more evidence.

oh, in my bag of sci-was a short story "Sitting Around the Pool, Soaking Up the Rays" (1984). Aliens offer to buy or nuclear materials. And then realize they can just trigger a nuclear war and harvest the result.
<packbart>
*our
<Mat2ch>
But that would mean losing nuclear materials
<packbart>
the premise was that it makes more of it. It was a nice short story that I didn't think about it much. It involved interstellar mind-control and such

I just remembered that one of the questions in the hearing was "Do they want to steal our nukes?" "Yes, I believe they want to steal our nukes" or similar
