UFO Propulsion Systems



     Stanton Friedman discusses potential 'propulsion systems'. He draws on his vast knowledge in the nuclear physics field as well as years of research. If your interested in science, or still wonder the 'How' question (How would ET's get here.), this is certainly a good read.

The Anti-Matter Mirror Universe

    The four Beatles are still putting out chart topping records, the Soviets won the Cold War, and everybody has sinister goatees....probably not likely. However, anti-matter and dark matter certainly do exist, and Dr. Samuel Ting is trying to find it and even the possibility of a anti-matter universe. Ting is a professor at MIT, and is currently working with CERN and the International Space Station, and is researching data recorded using an AMS (Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer) aboard the ISS.  What Ting and his team are looking for is "an unseen 'dark universe' woven into the cosmos."

    Anti-matter functions like normal matter, just in the opposite direction (opposite spin and energy charge), so if enough of it existed it is very plausible that it collected itself together to form its own universe, just in the opposite direction.The scientific community is currently split on whether an anti-matter universe can exist, many physicists believe that most anti-matter was destroyed shortly after the Big Bang given the fact that when matter and anti-matter meet, both are destroyed. However, Ting aims to find his dark universe, and with the recent discovery of a particle that very well may be the legendary Higgs-Boson, many new doors have been opened for physicists.

    The existence of a mirror anti-matter universe would likewise open doors for the paranormal community. What would be contained in this mysterious universe? Would it be exactly like a mirror, precisely parallel? Perhaps, more likely, it would be a universe entirely of its own, with a unique timeline and a unique history? Maybe with beings who once theorized the idea of a mirror universe, then found a way to traverse between them?

Integrity, Purpose, and Intellect

     These three words are not things to be swept under the rug, but rather encouraged and defended. The unfortunate fact is that in the pursuit of anything labeled paranormal or in any way unnatural, these thing are often forgotten (or at the very least glazed over). Shows and specials such as Mermaid: Body Found and Finding Bigfoot, that produce a huge number of viewers, follow no legitimate scientific method, and are generally led by teams of people with no background too to give credence to their research.  Even though these shows are purely entertainment, which is not necessarily a bad thing, they are labeled and advertised as scientific. Their purpose is facetious, thus damaging their integrity. A side effect of this breach of integrity is that it spills over to those who do, in fact, have the proper credentials to pursue the field, as well as those who believe, but with their feet on the ground and their heads out of the clouds. A solid example of this problem is that Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson of Ghost Hunter on the ScyFy (science fiction) channel have become household names, and people eat up everything they have to say whether they label them as legitimate or  crack-pots. Both these men are plumbers in their day job. However, how many have heard the name Stanton Friedman?  If only integrity, purpose, and intellect were held at a higher esteem than simply entertainment.

Arsenic: Poison or Building Block for Life?

     This is kinda old news, but still rather interesting. It is well known to biologists, and the scientific community as a whole, that the elements that form the basic building blocks for life are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulfur (or CHNOPS), without these life couldn't, or wouldn't exist on Earth. It is also common knowledge that arsenic is toxic. However, this common knowledge is being challenged by research done by NASA and led by Dr. Felisa Wolfe-Simon. The research has shown that certain microbes, whom normally sustain themselves on phosphorous and being deprived of it, can switch to sustaining on arsenic. This find alters what we know about life on Earth, and opens the door to ideas on how life can survive in environments unlike what we have here on earth.

Godzilla vs. Bambi

     Theoretical physicist Michio Kaku discusses the possibility of intelligent ET life, and what would happen if such a society were to encounter our own society. While Michio Kaku is promoting a new National Geographic series, this interview does provide some interesting insight into what might happen in a hypothetical 'Alien invasion' including how the earth might fare in a battle scenario. He hypothesizes that an advanced alien race very easily blow us out of the water (or out of the solar system as it were). Michio Kaku then goes on to explain how such an event could unite us as a planet.
