12
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: we'll explore the latest news in ufology, discuss some of

13
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: the classic cases, and bring you the latest information from

14
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 3: the newest cases as we talk with the top experts.

15
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 4: Welcome back to another episode of Beyond Contact. I am

16
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 4: your host, Captain Ron, and today we're going to be

17
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 4: doing something a little bit different. There's no guests today.

18
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 4: I've just been getting a lot of questions lately regarding

19
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 4: the UFO alien phenomenon, and I think it's time we

20
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 4: do a show about perspective, and the importance of keeping

21
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 4: an open mind with regard to these topics. Each of

22
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,279
Speaker 4: these four segments will take a different approach to keeping

23
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 4: things in perspective. Some people will say to me, They'll say,

24
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 4: I have an open mind because I think some lights

25
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 4: in the sky might be UFOs. Okay, But an open

26
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 4: mind means that you also think that they might be

27
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 4: something else, something more terrestrial. I think it's important to

28
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 4: remember that, like with anything, you have to wait until

29
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 4: you have more knowledge and perhaps a different reference point

30
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 4: before making these determinations. It's my opinion that the vast majority,

31
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 4: like ninety nine percent of these sightings do in fact

32
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 4: have a terrestrial explanation. We have all seen strange lights

33
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 4: in the sky. We have all seen tricks of the

34
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 4: light or something we couldn't quite immediately identify. That doesn't

35
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,640
Speaker 4: mean the only explanation is alien. I think some sightings

36
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 4: are actually anomalous and definitely require more scientific investigation as

37
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,799
Speaker 4: well as speculation from the observers, as they very well

38
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 4: might be looking at something else entirely. There's too many

39
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 4: experienced observers who have witnessed such sightings, sometimes just by

40
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 4: us physically moving things come into focus and we realize

41
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 4: exactly what we're looking at. Sometimes you look up and

42
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 4: wonder what the heck is that, and then suddenly these

43
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 4: lights in the sky that you were looking at turn

44
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 4: and you realize it was just a cluster of birds.

45
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 4: Like when you look at a three D sign that's

46
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 4: designed to spell out a name, but only when you

47
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 4: are standing in the correct position viewing it from the

48
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 4: correct angle. If you are off angle by just a

49
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 4: little bit, things look like a mess. But then when

50
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 4: you're in a correct position and your perspective is correct,

51
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 4: then the science can be read clearly. Perspective is the

52
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 4: important factor here. Sometimes our perspective changes because we physically move,

53
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 4: like in the three D sign example. Sometimes our perspective

54
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 4: changes because time has passed and we can look at

55
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 4: something from a new perspective. Well, it was scary at

56
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 4: age nine, may not be scary, and may even be

57
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 4: silly at age fifteen. Things in life that were important

58
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 4: to us at twenty might not be so important to

59
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 4: us at forty. Grotcho Marx was hugely popular and considered

60
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: hilarious in the early twentieth century, but it doesn't land

61
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 4: the same today's audiences, who look at it from a

62
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 4: different perspective. Another way our perspective can change is technology

63
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 4: and knowledge gained from that technology. There's this notion that

64
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 4: you've probably heard of from the seventeen hundreds called the

65
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 4: invisible ship's phenomenon. It states that when the new explorers

66
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 4: came from Europe to the Americas, the indigenous people didn't

67
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 4: even see the ships coming because they didn't know what

68
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 4: ships were, so they had no reference or perspective to

69
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 4: know what they were looking at, so they couldn't even

70
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 4: see the ships. That's the perception the Europeans had based

71
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 4: on the reaction of the natives. It does illustrate the

72
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 4: point that we all operate from our own paradigm in worldview.

73
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 4: We know the culmination of what we have learned and

74
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 4: experienced and deal with on a daily basis. I think

75
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 4: most of us would be scared or at the very

76
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 4: least startled if we saw a ladybug that was ten

77
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 4: inches long. That's outside our belief system of what we

78
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 4: know a ladybug sh should be. That's one way to

79
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 4: look at things. Another way is to think of it

80
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 4: as we don't know what we don't know. It's hard

81
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 4: to think of things this way. Put yet another way,

82
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,919
Speaker 4: there's a well known quote from Arthur C. Clark that says,

83
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 4: any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. That's because

84
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 4: it's more advanced and we don't yet understand it. Let's

85
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,359
Speaker 4: imagine you could time travel back to eighteen seventy five,

86
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 4: keeping in mind that that is only one hundred and

87
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 4: fifty years ago, not ten thousand years ago, but a

88
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 4: mere one hundred and fifty years ago, a very short

89
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 4: amount of time in the grand scheme of things, considering

90
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 4: modern humans have been around for about one hundred and

91
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 4: sixty thousand years. So you go up to the world's

92
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 4: leading scientist of eighteen seventy five and show them your

93
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 4: cell phone and say you can talk to any human

94
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 4: being on the planet on this little device. Instantly, their

95
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 4: minds would be blown. They would probably have a very

96
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 4: hard time even grasping the idea of this. They have

97
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 4: never even spoke on the telephone with anyone, let alone

98
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 4: across the globe, let alone on a screen face to face,

99
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 4: let alone in the palm of your hand. They have

100
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 4: absolutely no point of reference as to what you have.

101
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 4: Then you show them that you can also look up

102
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 4: anything you wanted to right in the palm of your

103
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 4: hand on that same device. This would certainly be earth

104
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,839
Speaker 4: shattering to them. Like the stories we have heard of

105
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 4: Native people seeing pictures of themselves for the first time,

106
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 4: This can actually also work in reverse. A fun YouTube

107
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 4: search is to watch young kids looking at a landline phone,

108
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 4: the old corded rotary style phones that were around even

109
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,559
Speaker 4: in the eighty They literally do not even have any

110
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,679
Speaker 4: idea how to operate it, which brings me to another

111
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 4: notion regarding perspective. That is, we can be very close

112
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 4: to something and yet so very far away. It may

113
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 4: be just out of reate. We may in fact be

114
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 4: very close to hearing a message from another civilization or

115
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:06,359
Speaker 4: even seeing another life form, but we might be just

116
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 4: off in our ability to detect them. You only have

117
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 4: to be off by a tiny fraction and something maybe

118
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 4: utterly useless, like the rotary phone. If you were trapped

119
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 4: and only had an old rotary phone to call for help,

120
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 4: if you didn't know how to use it, you're out

121
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 4: of luck. You'd be so close to being able to

122
00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 4: make a call for help, yet unable to do so.

123
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 4: This reminds me of the Gold Record that we sent

124
00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 4: out into space on the Voyager pro back in nineteen

125
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 4: seventy seven, which is still traveling through space, by the way,

126
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 4: and is about fifteen billion miles from Earth and still

127
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 4: sending back data. This gold disc was filled with music

128
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 4: and sounds and images of Earth for another alien civilization

129
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 4: to find. What a fantastic idea. Of course, if anyone

130
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 4: from another civilization did find this, they too would have

131
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 4: to have a record player and know how to access

132
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 4: those sounds. Let's say they're smart enough to realize they

133
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 4: need a record player, or for some reason they do

134
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 4: have a record player. They would then have to also

135
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 4: know what speed to play that record at. This tiny

136
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: distinction could give them an entirely different idea of what

137
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 4: we are trying to communicate. Without that specific technology used

138
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 4: in precisely the correct way, they wouldn't be able to

139
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:30,679
Speaker 4: access it correctly. So close but yet so far away.

140
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 4: That's the problem. In today's terms. We've all been there.

141
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:37,199
Speaker 4: We want to charge up our phone or another device,

142
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 4: and there's a charger right there, but it turns out

143
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 4: it doesn't fit our exact model. Therefore, we can't charge

144
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 4: up so close but so far away, just by not

145
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 4: having the exact adapter to fit our device. A charger

146
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 4: is useless to us. Like the SETI program the Search

147
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:58,199
Speaker 4: for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, this is a great idea. Also, it's

148
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 4: a telescope array that listens for radio frequencies from space. Awesome. However,

149
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 4: this too, only works if there's another civilization using radio

150
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 4: signals and using the exact same radio frequency range that

151
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,079
Speaker 4: we are listening for, and it's coming from the exact

152
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 4: place in space that we're looking at. Another way to

153
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 4: think of this perspective is that you could literally live

154
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 4: right next door to a radio station. You look out

155
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 4: your window and there's a giant a ton of broadcasting

156
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 4: all sorts of fascinating information. If you do not have

157
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 4: a receiver, you can't hear it and it's right next

158
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 4: door to you. Worse than that, let's say you do

159
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 4: have a receiver and it's right there, but you're off

160
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 4: by one millimeter when tuning it in, so you still

161
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 4: can't dial in that station, Or maybe you don't know

162
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 4: how to dial it incorrectly, like with the example of

163
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 4: the rotary phone. You know how to make a call,

164
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 4: but you don't know how to make a call on

165
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 4: that type of phone. Pondering these examples shows a how

166
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 4: close we might be to make in contact with another civilization,

167
00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 4: but we may not fully see them, hear them, or

168
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 4: realize their presence because we don't understand how to. You

169
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 4: can imagine how close we might be to understanding another

170
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 4: civilization's messages, but we may just be off station by

171
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 4: one millimeter. I think it's imperative that we keep an

172
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 4: open mind with regard to this, as perhaps as our

173
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 4: technology expands, we will in fact one day be able

174
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 4: to see here or understand another civilization's messages or presents.

175
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 4: When we come back, we're going to talk more about

176
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:42,839
Speaker 4: how technology and knowledge is continuously changing our perspective. You're

177
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 4: listening to Beyond Contact with Captain Ron right here on

178
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 4: the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.

179
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 4: Welcome back to Beyond Contact. Technology, knowledge and our perspective

180
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 4: is constantly changing and opening new avenues of discovery. Microscopic

181
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,719
Speaker 4: organisms were discovered in the late seventeenth century. Before that,

182
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 4: the notion of tiny, little living organisms being everywhere surely

183
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 4: would have been thought of as crazy. It wasn't until

184
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 4: into the eighteen eighties, after the telephone was invented by

185
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 4: the way that we discovered the first scientific evidence that

186
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 4: microorganisms are even part of the normal human system. The

187
00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 4: infrared spectrum camera was invented around nineteen ten, and it

188
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 4: allowed us to see into the infrared spectrum of light,

189
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 4: which sees beyond what our eyes can see. In nineteen

190
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:59,320
Speaker 4: fifty seven, French scientist Vladimir Gavro first began researching infrasound

191
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 4: machines that could hear well beyond that of the human ear.

192
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 4: There are, of course, countless examples of this idea of

193
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 4: how technology has allowed us to see something that has

194
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 4: existed the entire time, but it was just out of

195
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,080
Speaker 4: reach of our perception. There are, of course, countless other

196
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 4: examples of this idea of how technology has allowed us

197
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 4: to see something that has existed the entire time, but

198
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 4: it was just out of reach of our perception because

199
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 4: we didn't have the ability to detect it. Throughout history,

200
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 4: there have been severe criticisms of anyone challenging the existing

201
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:39,120
Speaker 4: position or norm. It's a pattern that is repeated over

202
00:12:39,280 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 4: and over and over, and it seems maddening to me

203
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,280
Speaker 4: that we haven't grown more open minded as we see

204
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 4: this happening continuously throughout history. This has spanned across religion

205
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 4: and science for as long as they have existed. To

206
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 4: this day, it still goes on, and often those who

207
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:03,640
Speaker 4: challenge accepted archaeological discoveries, for example, are shunned or even

208
00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 4: excluded for having those ideas. In an oversimplification to illustrate

209
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 4: the point, it's the notion that many ancient cultures subscribe

210
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 4: to a flat earth cosmography. Then we realized, of course,

211
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 4: that the Earth was in fact round. These ideas are

212
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 4: often later established and become the new norm as our

213
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 4: knowledge evolves, which just shows we all need to be

214
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,200
Speaker 4: much more open minded with all of these ideas. Resisting

215
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 4: these new ideas so vorociously seems foolish, as oftentimes these

216
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,760
Speaker 4: ideas eventually become proven correct as we gain more knowledge,

217
00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 4: often through technological advancements. I believe many of these things

218
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,480
Speaker 4: we currently view as unknowns will become apparent to us

219
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 4: as we gain more technology and thus more knowledge. It

220
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 4: feels wrong to be so dismissive of these ideas that

221
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 4: challenge the currently held paradigm, as perhaps it's just a

222
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 4: matter of not having the right person, perspective or technological

223
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 4: know how don't just dismiss something out of hand because

224
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,400
Speaker 4: it doesn't line up with your current worldview, which will

225
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 4: one day most certainly be an archaic paradigm. It's always

226
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 4: about relative perspective. We may very well be wrong in

227
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 4: our assumptions about many of these ideas and discoveries. Perhaps

228
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 4: the ancient crystal skulls are in fact storage devices that

229
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 4: hold information about the Earth or the universe, but we

230
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 4: just don't know how to access it. We may be

231
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: so close and yet so far. Like when people dismiss

232
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 4: the notion of an extraterrestrial civilization visiting Earth, they are

233
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 4: speaking from their paradigm using their current technology. They will

234
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 4: often say, oh, you can't get there from here. What

235
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 4: they really mean to say is you can't get there

236
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 4: from here using the technology that we have today, because

237
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 4: that would take over ten thousand years. The nearest star

238
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 4: is four point two light years away. A light year

239
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 4: is the distance that light travels in one Earth year,

240
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 4: which is about six trillion miles for those keeping track,

241
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 4: So if we could travel near the speed of light,

242
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 4: it would take us about four years. With today's current technology,

243
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 4: we can travel about thirty seven thousand miles an hour,

244
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 4: so it would take us tens of thousands of years

245
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 4: to make that journey. Obviously, we could develop faster and

246
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: faster ways to traverse space, of which several are being

247
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 4: developed right now. We could perhaps even develop an entirely

248
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 4: new way to move about the universe, or perhaps even

249
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 4: inter dimensionally. There's speculation we could even fold space and

250
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 4: thus cover vast distances in short amounts of time, using

251
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 4: what some have called wormholes. As just one example, in

252
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 4: the fifteenth century, you can easily imagine Europeans saying exactly

253
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,119
Speaker 4: the same thing about the new world of North America

254
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 4: that you can't get there from here. Of course, many

255
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 4: of them didn't even believe there was a here to

256
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 4: come to, simply because they hadn't had the technology to

257
00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 4: know better. But of course, when we did discover the

258
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 4: new world, it would take a minimum of two to

259
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,680
Speaker 4: four months, depending on the weather, to make that trip

260
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 4: just one way for a reference, that's about fourteen hundred

261
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 4: to twenty eight hundred hours. Quite a journey. Let's again

262
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 4: imagine you could travel back to eighteen twenty five, just

263
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 4: two hundred years ago. This is before we had steamship

264
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 4: technology or even Morrise code. So travel and communication was

265
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 4: what we would consider today painfully slow. Then we developed

266
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 4: through technology better ships and even planes. Today boats can

267
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 4: go from New York to London in about one hundred

268
00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 4: and thirty five hours instead of the twenty eight hundred

269
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 4: hours that used to take. And I bet you two

270
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 4: hundred years from now that one hundred and thirty five

271
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 4: hour number will seem painfully slow. We now, of course,

272
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 4: even have planes yet to be imagined technology that they

273
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 4: didn't have in eighteen twenty five, and the Concord plane

274
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 4: can make the trip from New York to London in

275
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:02,040
Speaker 4: under three hours. So something that just two hundred years

276
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 4: ago would take twenty eight hundred dollars now takes under

277
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 4: three We're talking about one one thousandth of the time.

278
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 4: I can certainly imagine people in eighteen twenty five saying

279
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 4: there's no way you can get there from here in

280
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 4: anything close to that time. It was simply impossible from

281
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 4: their worldview, from their state of technology at the time.

282
00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 4: So we have to be open minded, and we have

283
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 4: to remember we are using our current state of technology

284
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 4: as a point of reference. Many of these unknowns of

285
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 4: today will surely be within our scope of understanding. In

286
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 4: the future. In nineteen hundred, not that long ago at all,

287
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 4: the famed British physicist Lord Kelvin stated, now there is

288
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,439
Speaker 4: nothing new to discover in physics. What only remains is

289
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:52,959
Speaker 4: to be measured more and more precisely. Wow, holy hubris,

290
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,960
Speaker 4: What an example of us being so egotistically locked into

291
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 4: our own current point of reference. These these analogies are

292
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 4: to illustrate the point that things change. These comparisons to

293
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 4: our technology or knowledge base are from just one hundred

294
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 4: and fifty to two hundred years ago. They also illustrate

295
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 4: how fast and how dramatic our views, our technology, and

296
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 4: our knowledge and understanding can change in a very short time.

297
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 4: And now we are just beginning with another new revolution,

298
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:27,000
Speaker 4: that of artificial intelligence. Already we can see how technological

299
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 4: growth is happening exponentially. One can easily imagine if another

300
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 4: civilization created artificial intelligence, as seems inevitable, how fast their

301
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 4: technology could evolve. Not only have they most likely had

302
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 4: a huge jump in linear time on us, but depending

303
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,760
Speaker 4: on when they develop things like AI or perhaps something

304
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 4: even more advanced, something unknown to us, you can imagine

305
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,479
Speaker 4: how fast their technological growth would be a civilization reaching

306
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 4: our current level just one thousand years earlier than we have,

307
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 4: and you can imagine how far ahead they would be technologically,

308
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 4: and they, of course have had potentially nine billion more

309
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,640
Speaker 4: years to develop. Keeping in mind that the accepted age

310
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 4: of the universe is thirteen point seven billion years old

311
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,399
Speaker 4: and the accepted age of the Earth is just four

312
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 4: point five billion years old, it seems very reasonable to

313
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 4: assume that another intelligent civilization in the universe could be

314
00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 4: over nine billion years ahead of us in technological development.

315
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 4: Given what we have learned in just the last two

316
00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 4: hundred years, you can imagine a civilization wouldn't need to

317
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 4: be nine billion years ahead of us technologically, but a

318
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 4: mere nine million years or even nine thousand years could

319
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 4: mean such a vast difference in understanding of the universe

320
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 4: that it would easily be incomprehensible for us from our

321
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 4: current perspective to even understand. When you consider what a

322
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 4: profoundly rapid change AI is making in our understanding of

323
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 4: the world in the universe, you can easily extrapolate that

324
00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 4: out to a civilization that's a thought thousand or let's

325
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 4: say ten thousand years ahead of us, and you can

326
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 4: imagine how even a slight jump on us technologically would

327
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 4: put them vastly ahead of us. Faced with an advanced

328
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 4: society with higher technology, we may not even be able

329
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 4: to grasp the fanciful notions that they have mastered. We

330
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 4: just saw how a two hundred year advantage that we

331
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 4: have over those in eighteen twenty five, and how drastically

332
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 4: our understanding of the universe and the human experience is.

333
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 4: And that's from the same species, in the same location,

334
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 4: on the same planet, just simply looking at the world

335
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 4: from a two hundred year difference in perspective. Next, we

336
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 4: will look at how every major advance in science shattered

337
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 4: a previous belief that was certain and everyone accepted as factual.

338
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:50,440
Speaker 4: These new discoveries were often criticized or dismissed entirely until

339
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 4: through technology, we are able to gain the knowledge to

340
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 4: prove them. You're listening to Beyond Contact on the iHeartRadio

341
00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 4: and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast network. We are

342
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 4: back on Beyond Contact. When you sit back and take

343
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 4: a look at it, nearly every major advance in science

344
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,119
Speaker 4: shattered a previously held belief that was believed to be

345
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:35,199
Speaker 4: a certainty and everyone accepted as factual. I'd like to

346
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 4: run through a series of these examples for perspective. So

347
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 4: going back to twenty five hundred BC, the Egyptians thought

348
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 4: that the sun god Raw, carried the Sun across the

349
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 4: sky in the daytime and then brought it back through

350
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:52,639
Speaker 4: a tunnel under the earth at night. This is literally comical.

351
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 4: Today a nine year old would laugh at this notion.

352
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,439
Speaker 4: In five hundred BC, the Greeks first worked out that

353
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 4: the Earth wasn't flat, going against the common belief that

354
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 4: it was indeed flat. Two thousand years later, in fifteen

355
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 4: forty three, Nicholas Copernicus figured out that the Earth revolved

356
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:12,600
Speaker 4: around the Sun, at a time when nobody knew that

357
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,760
Speaker 4: the stars were even other suns, and he did this

358
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 4: using only the naked eye without any technology. Fifteen years later,

359
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,720
Speaker 4: in fifteen nineteen, the Magellan Elcano expedition was the first

360
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 4: to provide practical proof that the Earth was actually round.

361
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,919
Speaker 4: In the year sixteen hundred, Geodorno Bruno was buried alive

362
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 4: at the stake and his ashes were thrown into the

363
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,320
Speaker 4: Tiber River. This was for several reasons, including that he

364
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 4: proposed that the stars were distant suns surrounded by their

365
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 4: own planets what we call today exoplanets, and he raised

366
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 4: the possibility that these planets might foster life of their own.

367
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 4: Bruno was tried for heresy by the Roman Inquisition on

368
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 4: charges of denial of several core Catholic doctrines. He also

369
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 4: believed in pantheism, meaning he regarded the universe as a

370
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 4: manifestation of God, and he believed in reincarnation of the soul.

371
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,760
Speaker 4: It was only after his death that he gained considerable fame,

372
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 4: particularly by nineteenth and twentieth century commentators, who regarded him

373
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,120
Speaker 4: as a martyr for science. His case is still considered

374
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 4: a landmark in the history of free thought and the

375
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 4: emerging sciences. In sixteen ten, Galileo pretty much confirmed Comperticus's

376
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 4: belief that the Earth went around the Sun. At that time,

377
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 4: the Catholic Church classified it as heresy and warned him

378
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,679
Speaker 4: to abandon it. It is said that he luckily was

379
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 4: only spared torture and death like Bruno faced, because his

380
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 4: powerful friends intervened on his behalf. Nearly four hundred years later,

381
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 4: in nineteen eighty nine, they even launched a space probe

382
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,679
Speaker 4: with his name on it. In the eighteen sixties and seventies,

383
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:54,000
Speaker 4: when famed scientist Louis Pastor presented his findings on fermentation

384
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 4: in the role of microorganisms, some scientists and medical professionals

385
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 4: were very skeptical of the germ theory because it challenged

386
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 4: the prevailing miasma theory, which held the diseases were caused

387
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 4: by bad error or vapors. This theory was widely accepted

388
00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 4: and ingrained in medical practices of the time, so Pastor's

389
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 4: ideas were met with much resistance from those who were

390
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 4: invested in the traditional theories. By the late nineteenth century,

391
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 4: Pastor was proven to be correct and eventually revolutionized medicine

392
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 4: and microbiology. Another example, in eighteen sixty five, James Clark

393
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:33,960
Speaker 4: Maxwell's groundbreaking equations introduced a unified theory of electricity and magnetism.

394
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 4: They were initially met with resistance, as well as experimental

395
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 4: evidence and technological advances in the late nineteenth and early

396
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 4: twentieth centuries validated Maxwell's theories. The initial criticism finally diminished,

397
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,639
Speaker 4: and by the early twentieth century his work has become

398
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 4: widely accepted and recognized as a cornerstone of classical electromagnetism. Then,

399
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 4: in nineteen twenty three. Again, we're only talking about one

400
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 4: hundred years ago. Edwin Hubbell and other astronomers all thought

401
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 4: that our Milky Way galaxy was the entire universe. But

402
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 4: then at the Mount Wilson Observatory in California, they discovered

403
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:12,680
Speaker 4: the first galaxy beyond our own. Up until then, the

404
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 4: entire world believed that the entirety of the universe was

405
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 4: just what we now consider our one small, little Milky

406
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 4: Way galaxy. In fact, today we believe that there are

407
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:29,240
Speaker 4: up to two hundred trillion galaxies. It's hard to believe

408
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 4: that just one hundred years ago we thought there was

409
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,040
Speaker 4: one our own that was the whole universe, and today

410
00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 4: we know that we are one in perhaps two hundred trillion.

411
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,879
Speaker 4: Incredible to think we were again wrong by so much,

412
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 4: and that was just one hundred years ago. But thanks

413
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,359
Speaker 4: again to technology, we now know otherwise. The other galaxies

414
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,360
Speaker 4: were always there, but we didn't know how to see them.

415
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 4: In nineteen thirty, Alfred Wagner proposed the Earth's continents moved

416
00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 4: very slowly over millions of years, and move a long way.

417
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,159
Speaker 4: Between nineteen twelve and nineteen twenty nine, he published a

418
00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 4: stream of fossil and rock evidence to support this theory.

419
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 4: He died in nineteen thirty, again less than one hundred

420
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,120
Speaker 4: years ago. His theory of continental drift was rejected by

421
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 4: most scientists during his lifetime. It was only in the

422
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 4: nineteen sixties that continental drift finally became part of mainstream science.

423
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 4: In nineteen sixty four, Peter Higgs of Higgs Boson fame

424
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 4: and his team first proposed the Higgs Boson particles existence.

425
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 4: At the time, the standard model of particle physics had

426
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,080
Speaker 4: not yet even been conceived. It took nearly fifty years

427
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 4: later and the creation of the Large Hadron Collider to

428
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 4: finally prove his theory. He was one of the lucky ones,

429
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,919
Speaker 4: as he was alive and able to see his theory

430
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:48,119
Speaker 4: proven true, and he was validated during his lifetime. In

431
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:52,400
Speaker 4: nineteen ninety two, doctor Alexander Wolscand discovered the first exoplanet,

432
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 4: meaning a planet around another star outside our Solar system.

433
00:26:56,760 --> 00:26:59,960
Speaker 4: Now we are talking about just thirty five years ago.

434
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 4: This widely held consensus belief at the time was that

435
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 4: there were no planets around any stars period. Thanks to

436
00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 4: technology today, we now believe one in five stars has planets.

437
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 4: Around them. Again, we were so far off of what

438
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 4: we now know to be reality. As I mentioned before,

439
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 4: our galaxy alone is known to have between one hundred

440
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 4: and two hundred billion planets, with approximately sixty billion of

441
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 4: those planets in what they're calling the habitable zone that

442
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:35,320
Speaker 4: could potentially harbor life. Again, that's using our paradigm for

443
00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:38,280
Speaker 4: our type of life. So this could in fact one

444
00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 4: day be an even bigger number as well, And it

445
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 4: could be even bigger yet if you start to think

446
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:46,440
Speaker 4: about the existence of other dimensions or realms. An important

447
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 4: note here is the whole time when science was considering

448
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,560
Speaker 4: other life in the universe, it was with the understanding

449
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 4: that there were no other planets in the universe. In

450
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 4: twenty seventeen, astronomer Robert Work, working in Hawaii, detected a

451
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 4: strange object traveling through our solar system. This turned out

452
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:05,840
Speaker 4: to be the first known interstellar object in our galaxy

453
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,159
Speaker 4: and was named a Muamua Avi Lobe. The head of

454
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 4: astronomy at Harvard brought this name to prominence in twenty

455
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 4: twenty one when he speculated that this could in fact

456
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,040
Speaker 4: be a craft from outside our Solar System. In twenty

457
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 4: twenty a team of researchers led by Jane Graves from

458
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:24,439
Speaker 4: Cardiff University in the UK announced the discovery of a

459
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:28,760
Speaker 4: significant source of phosphorin, which is a biosignature gas that's

460
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 4: closely related to life on Earth in the clouds above Venus.

461
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 4: These scientists were shamed for claiming signs of life on Venus,

462
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,719
Speaker 4: but now they're back with even more evidence and this

463
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 4: is now being considered today. There are countless examples of

464
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 4: scientists who were discredited and later, often after their death,

465
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 4: proven to be correct. These examples also illustrate how far

466
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 4: off our accepted beliefs were. I mean by factors of millions,

467
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 4: sometimes trillions. It's astonishing how off we were. Perhaps there

468
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,480
Speaker 4: are in fact different dimensions, but we don't know how

469
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 4: to see them because we don't have the technological know

470
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 4: how yet to do so. Perhaps other civilizations are reaching

471
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 4: out to us, but we don't have the technological know

472
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,400
Speaker 4: how on how to hear and decipher these messages. Given

473
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 4: a little time in technology, our belief system can easily

474
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:23,240
Speaker 4: be turned on its head. As we've seen. The point

475
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 4: of all these examples is we may not understand what

476
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,600
Speaker 4: is happening with all this phenomena in and around the

477
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 4: UFO field. But that doesn't mean it's not real. It

478
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 4: may just mean we don't have the technology or the

479
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 4: knowledge to fully understand them yet. And maybe we are

480
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 4: off by one millimeters somewhere from receiving the messages from

481
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 4: across the universe. We are just now getting to the

482
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:46,600
Speaker 4: point where we are unable to tell if someone is

483
00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 4: AI or a real human being. If we did come

484
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 4: upon an extraterrestrial form of AI, and we were somehow

485
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 4: able to communicate with it, we would have no way

486
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 4: of knowing if it's in fact a form of artificial

487
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 4: intelligence itself or actually an alien intelligent as we would

488
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 4: have no point of reference or perspective on it. Again,

489
00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 4: it seems most likely to me that this would be

490
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 4: the case, as it seems to make much more sense

491
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 4: for our civilization to send out some form of AI

492
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 4: instead of a biological being to explore the universe. But

493
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 4: then again, of course, I'm thinking with our current way

494
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 4: of understanding, it is clearly ignorant to judge everything by

495
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 4: our current state of technology and our current paradigms. We

496
00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:30,160
Speaker 4: all have unique worldviews based on what science tells us

497
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 4: and what our life experience has taught us, but I

498
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 4: think it's important that we all remember that this will

499
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 4: change in the future, so we shouldn't be so quick

500
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 4: to dismiss other possibilities, as most assuredly, our technology, our knowledge,

501
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 4: and our reference point will most certainly change. Better to

502
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:49,800
Speaker 4: be open minded when these changes come than locked into

503
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 4: a worldview which will one day certainly be an archaic one.

504
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 4: Speaking of paradigms, check out the website of Danny Sheehan's

505
00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 4: organization at the New Paradigm Institute dot org, as they

506
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,959
Speaker 4: are doing incredible work on moving our knowledge in this

507
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,360
Speaker 4: area forward. When we return, we're going to take a

508
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 4: look at the latest technologies and how they may affect

509
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,560
Speaker 4: our understanding of possible extraterrestrial communication as well as our

510
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 4: own human experiences. You're listening to Beyond Contact on the

511
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 4: iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast network. Welcome

512
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 4: back to Beyond Contact. I am Captain Ron, and we've

513
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,160
Speaker 4: been talking about the importance of perspective and having an

514
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 4: open mind with regard to ET and UFO issues. We've

515
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 4: seen how technology can open up a whole new world

516
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 4: to us, often one that was always there, but we

517
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 4: just didn't know how to perceive its presence, and we've

518
00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 4: talked about how oftentimes many of these new discoveries were ridiculed,

519
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 4: were dismissed out of hand, yet eventually those outlandish ideas

520
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 4: were often later proven true. You can see how all

521
00:32:05,040 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 4: this applies nicely to the notion of alien civilizations. We

522
00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 4: have seen throughout history that mankind has been caught up

523
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 4: in its own hubris, when in fact it is very

524
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 4: often wrong in even the basic understandings of the universe

525
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 4: as we now know it to be. There are other

526
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 4: technological developments which could have a huge profound effect on

527
00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:26,600
Speaker 4: what we know about the universe and may help in

528
00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 4: the search of extraterrestrial life. There's the proposed Habitable World's Observatory,

529
00:32:31,800 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 4: which would be a large infrared, optical and ultraviolet space telescope.

530
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 4: It would be optimized to search for and image Earth

531
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 4: sized habitable exoplanets in the habitable zones of their stars

532
00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 4: where liquid water can exist. There is also the ELT

533
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,600
Speaker 4: aptly named the Extremely Large Telescope in Chile's Atacama Desert.

534
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 4: This telescope is slated to be operational in twenty twenty

535
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 4: eight and will be one hundred and thirty feet across,

536
00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 4: making it the largest ever built. It will track down

537
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:03,720
Speaker 4: earthlike planets around other stars and could become the first

538
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 4: telescope to find evidence of life outside of our solar system.

539
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,240
Speaker 4: The leap forward with the ELT can lead to a

540
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 4: paradigm shift in our perception of the entire universe, much

541
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 4: like Galileo's telescope did four hundred years ago. Next, I'd

542
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 4: like to talk about us being on the verge of

543
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 4: yet another scientific revolution which is poised to utterly change

544
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 4: the human experience as we know it. The first part

545
00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 4: of this is the onset of artificial intelligence. Given the

546
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 4: digital computing is fundamentally based on mathematics, which is a

547
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 4: universal language that describes patterns, structures, and relationships, these systems

548
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 4: reflect fundamental principles that are likely to be universal. Therefore,

549
00:33:42,280 --> 00:33:46,240
Speaker 4: does stand a reason that another advanced civilization may develop

550
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:50,400
Speaker 4: its own form of digital artificial intelligence, and or perhaps

551
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 4: something even more intriguing. As we are just getting a

552
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:56,360
Speaker 4: handle on understanding this technology, we can already see how

553
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 4: it could vastly improve our space exploration, and as I

554
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 4: mentioned earlier, it seems like a much more logical choice

555
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 4: to send AI out into space to explore the universe

556
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 4: instead of humans. AI doesn't need breaks, does it need

557
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 4: to eat, doesn't get sick, doesn't die, doesn't have to

558
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:16,000
Speaker 4: report to the wife. Nothing, It can continuously learn and

559
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:18,879
Speaker 4: send back data to us. We are starting to see

560
00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:23,520
Speaker 4: artificial general intelligence systems emerge that possess general cognitive abilities

561
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,720
Speaker 4: that are similar to human intelligence. We are already hearing

562
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 4: about artificial superintelligence, which is a form of AI that

563
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 4: would surpass even the best human minds in every field,

564
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 4: including creativity, problem solving, and social intelligence. And it's just

565
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 4: going to continue exponentially from there. Elon Musk is currently

566
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:48,040
Speaker 4: building the world's largest supercomputer called XAI. This computer will

567
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 4: have over one hundred thousand of these specialized Navidia superconductors

568
00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:56,440
Speaker 4: to train and run the next version of his gronk AI.

569
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 4: It's just massive. It's being built in a facility that

570
00:34:59,440 --> 00:35:01,880
Speaker 4: has overset one hundred and eighty five thousand square feet

571
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 4: and is set to open in twenty twenty five. And

572
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:06,840
Speaker 4: this is not the only one. Others are being designed

573
00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:09,759
Speaker 4: to be built right now as well. Not only will

574
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 4: AI greatly enhance our ability to explore the universe, but

575
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 4: it will give us better technology to understand what's happening

576
00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 4: in our skies right here on Earth. It can help

577
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 4: us search for UFOs by analyzing large amounts of data

578
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 4: from various sources such as radar, satellite imagery, radio signals,

579
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 4: and even eyewitness reports. It has the ability to identify

580
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:35,120
Speaker 4: things like planets, planes, drones, and the space station. AI

581
00:35:35,200 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 4: algorithms can be trained to detect patterns or anomalies sifting

582
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 4: through just massive amounts of information, making it much easier

583
00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:45,920
Speaker 4: for researchers to focus only on the anomalies and the

584
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 4: data and investigate those further. Additionally, there are new artificial

585
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 4: intelligence models that can detect alien life. According to a

586
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 4: study published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National

587
00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:00,879
Speaker 4: Academy of Sciences, they say this algorithm can and distinguish

588
00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 4: between samples of biological and non biological origin ninety percent

589
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,280
Speaker 4: of the time. This method should be able to detect

590
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 4: alien biochemistries as well as things similar to Earth life.

591
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,719
Speaker 4: It states that these results mean that we may be

592
00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 4: able to find a life form from another planet, another biosphere,

593
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:21,640
Speaker 4: even if it's very different from the life we know

594
00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,319
Speaker 4: here on Earth, and if we do find signs of

595
00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 4: life elsewhere we can tell if life on Earth and

596
00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:31,280
Speaker 4: other planets derived from a common or a different origin. Obviously,

597
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:34,520
Speaker 4: this is not necessarily intelligent life, but it will verify

598
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 4: confirmed life out there to mainstream science, which is a

599
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 4: massive step on its own. If we do discover some

600
00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 4: new message sent from an alien civilization, we would need

601
00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 4: AI systems to decode and figure out the translation of

602
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 4: such messages. Not to mention, if we do actually have

603
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 4: an interaction with another intelligence, we would again need an

604
00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:58,640
Speaker 4: AI system in order to be able to communicate with them.

605
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 4: AI did start off a language model, after all, and

606
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,959
Speaker 4: as has been said earlier, not only would we send

607
00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 4: AI up to Explorer space because AI travels better than

608
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 4: a biologic being like humans, but aliens too would most

609
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,120
Speaker 4: likely be sending some sort of artificial intelligence as well.

610
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 4: So it is actually quite likely that the first official

611
00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:23,680
Speaker 4: alien human communication would really be AI to AI. This

612
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 4: is such a new frontier that we really don't know

613
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 4: where it's headed. Neither do the top people in this field.

614
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,080
Speaker 4: For example, Jeffrey Hinton, considered the godfather of AI, has

615
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:38,400
Speaker 4: expressed concerns about the dangers and fears of artificial intelligence.

616
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,120
Speaker 4: Here's a couple quotes that he has said on the subject,

617
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 4: the alarm bell I'm ringing has to do with the

618
00:37:44,480 --> 00:37:48,399
Speaker 4: existential threat of them taking control. I used to think

619
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:50,759
Speaker 4: this was a long way off, but I now think

620
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 4: it's serious and fairly close. He also wrote, it's quite

621
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 4: conceivable that humanity is just a passing phase in the

622
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 4: evolution of intelligence. Wow. Pretty incredible. Sam Altman, the CEO

623
00:38:04,040 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 4: of open AI, has been quoted as saying, I prep

624
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 4: for survival, including AI that attacks us. So clearly, we

625
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 4: really don't know what AI will become or what it's

626
00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 4: capable of, but it's important to note how the top

627
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 4: people in this field are clearly concerned. There is yet

628
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 4: another development, also by Elon Musk. They may have an

629
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:26,319
Speaker 4: equally profound effect on the world. That is his Neurallink

630
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 4: company and their brain computer interfaces or BCIs. These are

631
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:35,640
Speaker 4: computer chip brain implants that could potentially transform various aspects

632
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,879
Speaker 4: of medicine, technology, and human enhancement in the future. These

633
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 4: BCIs could enable direct brain to brain communication or allow

634
00:38:44,360 --> 00:38:49,120
Speaker 4: individuals to communicate with outspoken language, creating an entirely new

635
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:53,080
Speaker 4: form of interaction. Not to mention the speed of this communication,

636
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 4: which will be much faster than anything we have now.

637
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:59,319
Speaker 4: As you can imagine, it will continuously get faster. Just

638
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 4: as computers of ten years ago are unusuably slow today,

639
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 4: the same will happen here. More importantly, these brain computer

640
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 4: interfaces could allow for more seamless interaction between humans and

641
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:15,920
Speaker 4: artificial intelligence, enabling an almost cyborg like instant integration with

642
00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:19,640
Speaker 4: AI systems. These computer interactions could take place at speeds

643
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 4: ten times as fast as we communicate, and up of

644
00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,960
Speaker 4: what we now take to communicate with a computer system.

645
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:28,759
Speaker 4: They are already saying that the slow part of our

646
00:39:28,840 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 4: interaction with AI is the time it takes for the

647
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,240
Speaker 4: human being to input to the computer. Computers can already

648
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:40,839
Speaker 4: calculate one quintillion calculations per second. The human experience as

649
00:39:40,840 --> 00:39:42,960
Speaker 4: we know it and have known it to be is

650
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 4: about to go through profound changes over just the next

651
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 4: couple generations, and this is already happening right now. Two

652
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,359
Speaker 4: people have already had a computer chip implant, and two

653
00:39:53,400 --> 00:39:56,440
Speaker 4: more are getting it imminently. Neuralink is a form of

654
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,080
Speaker 4: human augmentation, but this too could potentially assist in the

655
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,399
Speaker 4: search for UFOs. It could potentially enhance human perception by

656
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 4: connecting our brains directly to sensors or devices that can

657
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,520
Speaker 4: detect signals related to UFO sightings. This enhanced perception could

658
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:15,480
Speaker 4: allow individuals to detect and interpret signals or phenomenon related

659
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,799
Speaker 4: to UFOs that are beyond our natural senses. It could

660
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:22,920
Speaker 4: enable direct access to an analysis of vast amounts of

661
00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 4: data related to UFO sightings and experiences. People could analyze

662
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,919
Speaker 4: and interpret this data more efficiently, potentially leading to new

663
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,919
Speaker 4: insights and discoveries about the UFO phenomenon. This technology could

664
00:40:33,920 --> 00:40:37,439
Speaker 4: potentially enhance human capabilities and allow us to perhaps gain

665
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:41,320
Speaker 4: a better understanding of many of these different mysterious phenomenon.

666
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 4: AI and neurlink have a huge potential to utterly change

667
00:40:45,239 --> 00:40:48,319
Speaker 4: the human experience and the way we both understand and

668
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,400
Speaker 4: interact with our world. Perhaps these technologies will lead us

669
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,040
Speaker 4: to be able to detect and even interpret messages from

670
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,839
Speaker 4: an alien civilization. Once again, it's possible these messages are

671
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 4: already coming here, we just haven't had the technology to

672
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 4: hear them yet. These are just a couple examples, The

673
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,520
Speaker 4: point being that I believe we should stay at the

674
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:10,000
Speaker 4: very least open minded with regards to these topics as

675
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,600
Speaker 4: history has shown us time and time again. Eventually our

676
00:41:12,640 --> 00:41:15,800
Speaker 4: way of thinking will become an archaic, ignorant way of thinking.
