:) but how would you know? And, if you did, wouldn't they still be physical laws applicable to earthlings? If earthling physical laws allow us to fly a helicopter on Mars, does that mean we know Martian physical laws or that the laws are the same?

It's true that we don't know all physical laws. But all the physical "laws" we know are universal afa we can "know." There may be physics that we don't know, but if they're not knowable to earthlings, we'll never know them --because they're not knowable. If, otoh, they're knowable to earthlings, they're universal until proven otherwise.

Hey, there may be a limit to human understanding; but, we can only understand within that limit. So, I agree that the laws we identify are universal as far as we're concerned.

back to the UAP, do they obey any laws we know of?


The question is whether they disobey any laws we know of. That's why people suggest they're aliens. People can't explain what they see.

They "disobey" our engineering abilities. Those G forces, if the calculations on acceleration are correct from correct readings from the Navy jet instruments, would supposedly rip apart our jets.

Also, not sure about the faster than sound w/ no sonic boom thing. That seems to be a disobeying of our understanding of physics laws.
https://www.popularmechanics.com/milita ... onic-boom/
When an aircraft increases its speed, pressure waves build up on it and eventually coalesce into a single shockwave. When the plane outruns that shockwave and travels faster than the speed of sound in air, it causes a sudden change in pressure, which in turn creates the sonic boom. There’s no publicly available scientific data to suggest any aircraft can break the sound barrier without producing a sonic boom; while engineers can take steps to try to reduce sonic booms, physics says it’s impossible to outright eliminate it.

perhaps the messaging and secrecy aspects are more interesting than the physics aspects (since roughly speaking our understanding of physics seems to be not too great afawk. physicists seem to have a lot more interesting questions than answers.).

1. the US Navy confirmed that leak footage is real.
2. the US Navy also said it should not have been leaked/released.
3. the USAF apparently has other footage or observations from instruments, but it seems like those observations are not release/declassified.
4. presumably the USAF has more observations than the Navy if it's sensing "stuff in the air" more.
5. what the heck is US Space Force? I guess Space Force is way too new to have much information, but presumably over time it would have the most information.
6. why would anyone with "important secrets" want the public to know? It doesn't seem like it would be a good idea to make certain info public assuming they are trying to be able to have/use military secrets of some kind of defensive value. Not sure why a former intelligence official would reveal a few things (about having a lot more information).... although doesn't seem like any real information is released.
7. if there are any scientists who worked at Area 51 starting in 1955, they would have to be really old or deceased now. If they knew anything unusual, where are their reports? Who has access now?
8. this kind of just goes on and on with no end ... may as well just read/watch sci-fi... like the show "Roswell" about the alien teens crash landing there, then growing up with human teens and having lots of alien/human teen angst, lol.

Also, not sure about the faster than sound w/ no sonic boom thing.


A sonic boom/s (loudest) at the point the object/vehicle breaks the sound barrier in the atmosphere. The closer to the ground, the louder it is. You won't hear the craft coming, but hear the compressed sound catching up after it passes. The sound travels in a cone shape with the plane at the front. The lower to the ground the greater surface area of that cone. As the craft goes higher, the area of sound that hits the ground decreases.

Yeah, the question is why nobody reports a boom or sound of air movement. That is where the rules seem to be broken. The object can be seen. Lightning causes thunder because it disturbs the atmosphere. If something can move through the atmosphere without disturbing it, the issue is more than a matter of engineering.

This might interest you, and it's recent.

it seems that should make the UAP interesting enough for scientists to take a look.

alternatively, maybe something is wrong with the sensors and "seeing is not believing". in that case, engineers should be able to troubleshoot (and assume current laws of physics apply) without needing some new theory.

Thanks I'll have to rewatch.

Perhaps those experimental results point to the idea that the Hawking radiation escaping from the black holes ends up ... as mass.

I couldn't quite follow the weak nuclear force = electromangetism. Will have to revisit.

these make me think of a few pop culture references.

In SEE (on HBO), they call the Sun "the god-flame".

In Big Bang Theory, early on, Penny asks Leonard during their first (non)date, "So what's new in physics?". He says "nothing much. ... really nothing is new since about 1930... what's new at The Cheesecake Factory?".

Most cosmologists are interested in nothing more than finding intelligent life outside Earth. You read Kaku; you think he wouldn't investigate what he could research?

Afa the weak nuclear force/interaction being the same as electro-magnetism, put it like this; the strong nuclear force holds atoms together; the weak nuclear force radiates --er, is the source of most radiation.

I can't explain why it's the same as electromagnetic force. Then again, I can't explain why light, magnetism, and electricity are the same force.:)

thinking they think it'd be bad for their credibility, or not as helpful as the other "serious" work, or has no good theoretical or empirical work to do. but probably in private they have some interesting thoughts to share.

I can't either. I think some of it seems intuitive in steps, though.
We experience UV radiation indirectly even though (to human eyes) UV rays are not part of "visible light" (except in some cases after cataract surgery). So intuitively (through sunburn or whatnot), we know there are "rays" and "radiation" that can quickly harm us.

We can experience (indirectly) other EMR via radio waves (for 20th c radio or wifi signals "Dad, what happened to the wifi?!").

There are kid's science kits that can help you use magnets to spin coils that can then turn on a light or something like that. After that, it seems to get less intuitive. Light (visible light) is part of EMR, but stuff like https://www.bbvaopenmind.com/en/science ... ory-light/ - I start to not understand it.

I haven't really been following, but I thought the four fundamental forces were weak and strong nuclear force, electromagnetism, and gravity.

How is the distinction being muddled?
