10
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 3: your own research and discover the subject matter for yourself.

11
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,480
Speaker 4: Hey everyone, it's Captain Ron and each week and Beyond Contact,

12
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 4: we'll explore the latest news in ufology, discuss some of

13
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 4: the classic cases, and bring you the latest information from

14
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 4: the newest cases as we talk with the top experts.

15
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: Welcome back to another episode of Beyond Contact. I am

16
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: your host, Captain Ron, and today we're going to be

17
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 2: doing something a little bit different. There's no guests today.

18
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: I've just been getting a lot of questions lately regarding

19
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 2: the UFO alien phenomenon, and I think it's time we

20
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: do a show about perspective and the importance of keeping

21
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: an open mind with regard to these topics. Each of

22
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 2: these four segments will take a different approach to keeping

23
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: things in perspective. Some people will say to me, They'll say,

24
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 2: I have an open mind because I think some lights

25
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 2: in the sky might be UFOs okay, But an open

26
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 2: mind means that you also think that they might be

27
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: something else, something more terrestrial. I think it's important to

28
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 2: remember that with anything, you have to wait until you

29
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: have more knowledge and perhaps a different reference point before

30
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: making these determinations. It's my opinion that the vast majority,

31
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 2: like ninety nine percent of these sightings do in fact

32
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: have a terrestrial explanation. We have all seen strange lights

33
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 2: in the sky. We have all seen tricks of the

34
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 2: light or something we couldn't quite immediately identify. That doesn't

35
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 2: mean the only explanation is alien. I think some sightings

36
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,119
Speaker 2: are actually anomalous and definitely require more scientific investigation as

37
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: well as speculation from the observers, as they very well

38
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: might be looking at something else entirely. There's too many

39
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,480
Speaker 2: experienced observers who have witnessed such sightings. Sometimes just by

40
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: us physically moving, things come into focus and we realize

41
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 2: exactly what we're looking at. Sometimes you look up and

42
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 2: wonder what the heck is that, and then suddenly these

43
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 2: lights in the sky that you were looking at and

44
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: you realize it was just a cluster of birds. Like

45
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: when you look at a three D sign that's designed

46
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,959
Speaker 2: to spell out a name, but only when you are

47
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: standing in the correct position viewing it from the correct angle.

48
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: If you are off angle by just a little bit,

49
00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 2: things look like a mess. But then when you're in

50
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: a correct position and your perspective is correct, then the

51
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: science can be read clearly. Perspective is the important factor here.

52
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: Sometimes our perspective changes because we physically move, like in

53
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: the three D sign example. Sometimes our perspective changes because

54
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 2: time has passed and we can look at something from

55
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: a new perspective. What was scary at age nine may

56
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 2: not be scary and may even be silly at age fifteen.

57
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,400
Speaker 2: Things in life that were important to us at twenty

58
00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: might not be so important to us at forty. Grotcho

59
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: Marx was hugely popular and considered hilarious in the early

60
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: twentieth century, but it doesn't land the same to today's

61
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: audiences who look at it from a different perspective. Another

62
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 2: way our perspective can change is technology and knowledge gained

63
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: from that technology. There's this notion that you've probably heard

64
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 2: it from the seventeen hundreds, called the invisible ship's phenomenon.

65
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 2: It states that when the new explorers came from Europe

66
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: to the Americas, the indigenous people didn't even see the

67
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 2: ships coming because they didn't know what ships were, so

68
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 2: they had no reference or perspective to know what they

69
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 2: were looking at, so they couldn't even see the ships.

70
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: That's the perception the Europeans had based on the reaction

71
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 2: of the natives. It does illustrate the point that we

72
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: all operate from our own paradigm in worldview. We know

73
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 2: the culmination of what we have learned and experienced and

74
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: deal with on a daily basi. I think most of

75
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: us would be scared or at the very least startled

76
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 2: if we saw a ladybug that was ten inches long.

77
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 2: That's outside our belief system of what we know a

78
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,159
Speaker 2: ladybug should be. That's one way to look at things.

79
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: Another way is to think of it as we don't

80
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 2: know what we don't know. It's hard to think of

81
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: things this way. Put yet another way, there's a well

82
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 2: known quote from Arthur C. Clark that says, any sufficiently

83
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:21,159
Speaker 2: advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. That's because it's more

84
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 2: advanced and we don't yet understand it. Let's imagine you

85
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: could time travel back to eighteen seventy five, keeping in

86
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: mind that that is only one hundred and fifty years ago,

87
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 2: not ten thousand years ago, but a mere one hundred

88
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: and fifty years ago, a very short amount of time

89
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 2: in the grand scheme of things, considering modern humans have

90
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,919
Speaker 2: been around for about one hundred and sixty thousand years.

91
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: So you go up to the world's leading scientist of

92
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,479
Speaker 2: eighteen seventy five and show them your cell phone and

93
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: say you can talk to any human being on the

94
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: planet on this little device. Instantly, their minds would be blown.

95
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: They would probably have a very hard time even grasping

96
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: the idea idea of this. They have never even spoke

97
00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: on the telephone with anyone, let alone across the globe,

98
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 2: let alone on a screen face to face, let alone

99
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 2: in the palm of your hand. They have absolutely no

100
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 2: point of reference as to what you have. Then you

101
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 2: show them that you can also look up anything you

102
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 2: wanted to right in the palm of your hand on

103
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 2: that same device. This would certainly be earth shattering to them.

104
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: Like the stories we have heard of native people seeing

105
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 2: pictures of themselves for the first time. This can actually

106
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: also work in reverse. A fun YouTube search is to

107
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,679
Speaker 2: watch young kids looking at a landline phone, the old

108
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 2: corded rotary style phones that were around even in the eighties.

109
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: They literally do not even have any idea how to

110
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 2: operate it, which brings me to another notion regarding perspective.

111
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 2: That is, we can be very close to something and

112
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 2: yet so very far away. It may be just out

113
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,720
Speaker 2: of reate. We may in fact be very close to

114
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,480
Speaker 2: hear a message from another civilization or even seeing another

115
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 2: life form, but we might be just off in our

116
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 2: ability to detect them. You only have to be off

117
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: by a tiny fraction and something maybe utterly useless, like

118
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: the rotary phone. If you were trapped and only had

119
00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: an old rotary phone to call for help, if you

120
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: didn't know how to use it, you're out of luck.

121
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 2: You'd be so close to being able to make a

122
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 2: call for help, yet unable to do so. This reminds

123
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: me of the Gold Record that we sent out into

124
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 2: space on the Voyager pro back in nineteen seventy seven,

125
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 2: which is still traveling through space, by the way, and

126
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: is about fifteen billion miles from Earth and still sending

127
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: back data. This gold disc was filled with music and

128
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: sounds and images of Earth for another alien civilization to find.

129
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: What a fantastic idea. Of course, if anyone from another

130
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: civilization did find this, they too would have to have

131
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: a record player and know how to access those sounds.

132
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: Let's say they're smart enough to realize they need a

133
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: record player, or for some reason they do have a

134
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 2: record player. They would then have to also know what

135
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: speed to play that record at. This tiny distinction could

136
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: give them an entirely different idea of what we are

137
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 2: trying to communicate. Without that specific technology used in precisely

138
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 2: the correct way, they wouldn't be able to access it correctly.

139
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 2: So close but yet so far away. That's the problem.

140
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,960
Speaker 2: In today's terms. We've all been there. We want to

141
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 2: charge up our phone or another device, and there's a

142
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,200
Speaker 2: charger right there, but it turns out it doesn't fit

143
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 2: our exact model. Therefore, we can't charge up so close

144
00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,120
Speaker 2: but so far away, just by not having the exact

145
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,839
Speaker 2: adapter to fit our device, a charger is useless to us.

146
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: Like the SETI program the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, this

147
00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 2: is a great idea. Also, it's a telescope array that

148
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: listens for radio frequencies from space. Awesome. However, this too,

149
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 2: only works if there's another civilization using radio signals and

150
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 2: using the exact same radio frequency range that we are

151
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 2: listening for, and it's coming from the exact place in

152
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: space that we're looking at. Another way to think of

153
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 2: this perspective is that you could literally live right next

154
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: door to a radio station. You look out your window

155
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: and there's a giant antent of broadcasting all sorts of

156
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 2: fascinating information. If you do not have a receiver, you

157
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 2: can't hear it and it's right next door to you.

158
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 2: Worse than that, let's say you do have a receiver

159
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 2: and it's right there, but you're off by one millimeter

160
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: when tuning it in, so you still can't dial in

161
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: that station, Or maybe you don't know how to dial

162
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 2: it incorrectly, like with the example of the rotary phone.

163
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: You know how to make a call, but you don't

164
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 2: know how to make a call on that type of phone.

165
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 2: Pondering these examples shows us how close we might be

166
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 2: to make in contact with another civilization, but we may

167
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 2: not fully see them, hear them, or realize their presence

168
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:12,160
Speaker 2: because we don't understand how to. You can imagine how

169
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: close we might be to understanding another civilization's messages, but

170
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,960
Speaker 2: we may just be off station by one millimeter. I

171
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 2: think it's imperative that we keep an open mind with

172
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 2: regard to this, as perhaps as our technology expands, we

173
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 2: will in fact one day be able to see here

174
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: or understand another civilization's messages or presents. When we come back,

175
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 2: we're going to talk more about how technology and knowledge

176
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: is continuously changing our perspective. You're listening to Beyond Contact

177
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: with Captain Ron right here on the iHeartRadio and Coast

178
00:10:47,040 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 2: to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Welcome back to Beyond Contact. Technology,

179
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 2: knowledge and our perspective is constantly changing and opening new

180
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,719
Speaker 2: avenues of discovery. Microscopic organisms were discovered in the late

181
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 2: seventeenth century. Before that, the notion of tiny, little living

182
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 2: organisms being everywhere surely would have been thought of as crazy.

183
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: It wasn't until into the eighteen eighties, after the telephone

184
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: was invented by the way that we discovered the first

185
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 2: scientific evidence that microorganisms are even part of the normal

186
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 2: human system. The infrared spectrum camera was invented around nineteen ten,

187
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 2: and it allowed us to see into the infrared spectrum

188
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 2: of light, which sees beyond what our eyes can see.

189
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: In nineteen fifty seven, French scientists Vladimir Gavro first began

190
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 2: researching infrasound machine that could hear well beyond that of

191
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: the human ear. There are, of course, countless examples of

192
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 2: this idea of how technology has allowed us to see

193
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: something that has existed the entire time, but it was

194
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: just out of reach of our perception. There are, of course,

195
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 2: countless other examples of this idea of how technology has

196
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 2: allowed us to see something that has existed the entire time,

197
00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: but it was just out of reach of our perception

198
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:31,480
Speaker 2: because we didn't have the ability to detect it. Throughout history,

199
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: there have been severe criticisms of anyone challenging the existing

200
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,319
Speaker 2: position or norm. It's a pattern that is repeated over

201
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 2: and over and over, and it seems maddening to me

202
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 2: that we haven't grown more open minded as we see

203
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 2: this happening continuously throughout history. This has spanned across religion

204
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: and science for as long as they have existed to

205
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 2: this day, it still goes on, and often those who

206
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 2: challenge accepted Ourchael logical discoveries, for example, are shunned or

207
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: even excluded for having those ideas. In an oversimplification to

208
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,119
Speaker 2: illustrate the point, it's the notion that many ancient cultures

209
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 2: subscribe to a flat earth cosmography. Then we realized, of course,

210
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 2: that the Earth was in fact round. These ideas are

211
00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 2: often later established and become the new norm as our

212
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: knowledge evolves, which just shows we all need to be

213
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 2: much more open minded with all of these ideas. Resisting

214
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 2: these new ideas so vorociously seems foolish, as oftentimes these

215
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,960
Speaker 2: ideas eventually become proven correct as we gain more knowledge,

216
00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 2: often through technological advancements. I believe many of these things

217
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 2: we currently view as unknowns will become apparent to us

218
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 2: as we gain more technology and thus more knowledge. It

219
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: feels wrong to be so dismissive of these ideas that

220
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,360
Speaker 2: challenge the currently held paradigm as perhaps it's just a

221
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 2: matter of not having the right perspective or technological know how.

222
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 2: Don't just dismiss something out of hand because it doesn't

223
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 2: line up with your current worldview, which will one day

224
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: most certainly be an archaic paradigm. It's always about relative perspective.

225
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 2: We may very well be wrong in our assumptions about

226
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,560
Speaker 2: many of these ideas and discoveries. Perhaps the ancient crystal

227
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 2: skulls are in fact storage devices that hold information about

228
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: the Earth or the universe, but we just don't know

229
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 2: how to access it. We may be so close and

230
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: yet so far. Like when people dismiss the notion of

231
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 2: an extraterrestrial civilization visiting Earth, they are speaking from their

232
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: paradigm using their current technology. They will often say, oh,

233
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: you can't get there from here. What they really mean

234
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: to say is you can't get there from here using

235
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: the technology that we have today, because that would take

236
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 2: over ten thousand years. The nearest star is four point

237
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 2: two light years away. A light year is the distance

238
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: that light travels in one Earth year, which is about

239
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: six trillion miles for those keeping track. So if we

240
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,000
Speaker 2: could travel near the speed of light, it would take

241
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,840
Speaker 2: us about four years. With today's current technology, we can

242
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 2: travel about thirty seven thousand miles an hour, so it

243
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: would take us tens of thousands of years to make

244
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: that journey. Obviously, we could develop faster and faster ways

245
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: to traverse space, of which several are being developed right now.

246
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 2: We could perhaps even develop an entirely new way to

247
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 2: move about the universe, or perhaps even inter dimensionally. There's

248
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 2: speculation we could even fold space and thus cover vast

249
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 2: distances in short amounts of time, using what some have

250
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 2: called wormholes. As just one example, in the fifteenth century,

251
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 2: you can easily imagine Europeans saying exactly the same thing

252
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: about the new world of North America, that you can't

253
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: get there from here. Of course, many of them didn't

254
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 2: even believe there was a here to come to, simply

255
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: because they hadn't had the technology to know better. But

256
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 2: of course, when we did discover the new world, it

257
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 2: would take a minimum of two to four months, depending

258
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 2: on the weather, to make that trip just one way

259
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 2: for a reference, that's about fourteen hundred to twenty eight

260
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 2: hundred hours. Quite a journey. Let's again imagine you could

261
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 2: travel back to eighteen twenty five, just two hundred years ago.

262
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: This is before we had steamship technology or even Morse code,

263
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 2: so travel and communication was what we would consider today

264
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: painfully slow. Then we developed through technology better ships and

265
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,200
Speaker 2: even planes. Today boats can go from New York to

266
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: London in about one hundred and thirty five hours instead

267
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 2: of the twenty eight hundred hours that used to take,

268
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 2: and I bet you two hundred years from now that

269
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 2: one hundred and thirty five hour number will seem painfully slow.

270
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,800
Speaker 2: We now, of course, even have planes yet to be

271
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: imagined technology that they didn't have in eighteen twenty five,

272
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 2: and the Concord plane can make the trip from New

273
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: York to London in under three hours. So something that

274
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 2: just two hundred years ago would take twenty eight hundred

275
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: dollars now takes under three We're talking about one one

276
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 2: thousandth of the time. I can certainly imagine people in

277
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: eighteen twenty five saying there's no way you can get

278
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 2: there from here in anything close to that time. It

279
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 2: was simply impossible from their worldview, from their state of

280
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 2: technology at the time. So we have to be open minded,

281
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,639
Speaker 2: and we have to remember we are using our current

282
00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 2: state of technology as a point of reference. Many of

283
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 2: these unknowns of today will surely be within our scope

284
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 2: of understanding in the future in nineteen hundred, not that

285
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 2: long ago at all. The famed British physicist Lord Kelvin stated,

286
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,439
Speaker 2: now there is nothing new to discover in physics. What

287
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: only remains is to be measured more and more precisely. Wow,

288
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: holy hubris, what an example of us being so egotistically

289
00:17:56,640 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 2: locked into our own current point of reference. These analogies

290
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 2: are to illustrate the point that things change. These comparisons

291
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 2: to our technology or knowledge base are from just one

292
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,359
Speaker 2: hundred and fifty to two hundred years ago. They also

293
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 2: illustrate how fast and how dramatic our views, our technology,

294
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 2: and our knowledge and understanding can change in a very

295
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 2: short time. And now we are just beginning with another

296
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 2: new revolution, that of artificial intelligence. Already we can see

297
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 2: how technological growth is happening exponentially. One can easily imagine

298
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: if another civilization created artificial intelligence, as seems inevitable, how

299
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,560
Speaker 2: fast their technology could evolve. Not only have they most

300
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 2: likely had a huge jump in linear time on us,

301
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 2: but depending on when they develop things like AI or

302
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 2: perhaps something even more advanced, something unknown to us, you

303
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 2: can imagine how fast their technological growth would be. A

304
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 2: civilization reaching our current level just one thousand years earlier,

305
00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: than we have, and you can imagine how far ahead

306
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 2: they would be technologically, and they, of course have had

307
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 2: potentially nine billion more years to develop. Keeping in mind

308
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 2: that the accepted age of the universe is thirteen point

309
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 2: seven billion years old and the accepted age of the

310
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 2: Earth is just four point five billion years old, it

311
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: seems very reasonable to assume that another intelligent civilization in

312
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,600
Speaker 2: the universe could be over nine billion years ahead of

313
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,720
Speaker 2: us in technological development. Given what we have learned in

314
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 2: just the last two hundred years, you can imagine a

315
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 2: civilization wouldn't need to be nine billion years ahead of

316
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 2: us technologically, but a mere nine million years or even

317
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,840
Speaker 2: nine thousand years could mean such a vast difference in

318
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,040
Speaker 2: understanding of the universe that it would easily be incomprehensible

319
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: for us from our current perspective to even understand. When

320
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: you consider what a profoundly rapid change AI is making

321
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 2: in our understanding of the world in the universe, you

322
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 2: can easily extrapolate that out to a civilization that's a

323
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: one thousand or let's say, ten thousand years ahead of us,

324
00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 2: and you can imagine how even a slight jump on

325
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: us technologically would put them vastly ahead of us. Faced

326
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 2: with an advanced society with higher technology, we may not

327
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 2: even be able to grasp the fanciful notions that they

328
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 2: have mastered. We just saw how a two hundred year

329
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 2: advantage that we have over those in eighteen twenty five,

330
00:20:23,400 --> 00:20:26,800
Speaker 2: and how drastically our understanding of the universe and the

331
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 2: human experience is. And that's from the same species, in

332
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 2: the same location, on the same planet, just simply looking

333
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 2: at the world from a two hundred year difference in perspective. Next,

334
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: we will look at how every major advance in science

335
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,920
Speaker 2: shattered a previous belief that was certain and everyone accepted

336
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 2: as factual. These new discoveries were often criticized or dismissed

337
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 2: entirely until through technology, we are able to gain the

338
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:56,840
Speaker 2: knowledge to prove them. You're listening to Beyond Contact on

339
00:20:56,880 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal podcast network.

340
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,920
Speaker 2: We are back on Beyond Contact. When you sit back

341
00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,640
Speaker 2: and take a look at it, nearly every major advance

342
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 2: in science shattered a previously held belief that was believed

343
00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 2: to be a certainty and everyone accepted as factual. I'd

344
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,439
Speaker 2: like to run through a series of these examples for perspective. So,

345
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 2: going back to twenty five hundred BC, the Egyptians thought

346
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 2: that the sun god raw, carried the Sun across the

347
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 2: sky in the daytime and then brought it back through

348
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 2: a tunnel under the earth at night. This is literally comical.

349
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,000
Speaker 2: Today a nine year old would laugh at this notion.

350
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 2: In five hundred BC, the first worked out that the

351
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 2: Earth wasn't flat, going against the common belief that it

352
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,480
Speaker 2: was indeed flat. Two thousand years later, in fifteen forty three,

353
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 2: Nicholas Copernicus figured out that the Earth revolved around the

354
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 2: Sun at a time when nobody knew that the stars

355
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 2: were even other suns, and he did this using only

356
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 2: the naked eye without any technology. Fifteen years later, in

357
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 2: fifteen nineteen, the Magellan Elcano expedition was the first to

358
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 2: provide practical proof that the Earth was actually round. In

359
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 2: the year sixteen hundred, Geodorno Bruno was buried alive at

360
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 2: the stake and his ashes were thrown into the Tiber River.

361
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,120
Speaker 2: This was for several reasons, including that he proposed that

362
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 2: the stars were distant suns surrounded by their own planets

363
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 2: what we call today exoplanets, and he raised the possibility

364
00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:53,880
Speaker 2: that these planets might foster life of their own. Bruno

365
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,400
Speaker 2: was tried for heresy by the Roman Inquisition on charges

366
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 2: of denial of several core Catholic dot org He also

367
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 2: believed in pantheism, meaning he regarded the universe as a

368
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:08,480
Speaker 2: manifestation of God, and he believed in reincarnation of the soul.

369
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,320
Speaker 2: It was only after his death that he gained considerable fame,

370
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 2: particularly by nineteenth and twentieth century commentators, who regarded him

371
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 2: as a martyr for science. His case is still considered

372
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 2: a landmark in the history of free thought and the

373
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:28,199
Speaker 2: emerging sciences. In sixteen ten, Galileo pretty much confirmed Comperticus's

374
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 2: belief that the Earth went around the Sun. At that time,

375
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 2: the Catholic Church classified it as heresy and warned him

376
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 2: to abandon it. It is said that he luckily was

377
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 2: only spared torture and death like Bruno faced, because his

378
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:46,440
Speaker 2: powerful friends intervened on his behalf. Nearly four hundred years later,

379
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 2: in nineteen eighty nine, they even launched a space probe

380
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 2: with his name on it. In the eighteen sixties and seventies,

381
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 2: when famed scientist Louis Pastor presented his findings on fermentation

382
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 2: in the role of microorganisms. Some scientists and medical professionals

383
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 2: were very skeptical of the germ theory because it challenged

384
00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 2: the prevailing miasma theory, which held that diseases were caused

385
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 2: by bad error or vapors. This theory was widely accepted

386
00:24:12,560 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: and ingrained in medical practices of the time, so Pastor's

387
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: ideas were met with much resistance from those who were

388
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 2: invested in the traditional theories. By the late nineteenth century,

389
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 2: Pastor was proven to be correct and eventually revolutionized medicine

390
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 2: and microbiology. Another example, in eighteen sixty five, James Clark

391
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 2: Maxwell's groundbreaking equations introduced a unified theory of electricity and magnetism.

392
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 2: They were initially met with resistance, as well as experimental

393
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,240
Speaker 2: evidence and technological advances in the late nineteenth and early

394
00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 2: twentieth centuries validated Maxwell's theories. The initial criticism finally diminished,

395
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,160
Speaker 2: and by the early twentieth century his work has become

396
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:57,640
Speaker 2: widely accepted and recognized as a cornerstone of classical electromagnetism. Then,

397
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 2: in nineteen twenty three, again were only talking about one

398
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,760
Speaker 2: hundred years ago, Edwin Hubbell and other astronomers all thought

399
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 2: that our Milky Way galaxy was the entire universe. But

400
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 2: then at the Mount Wilson Observatory in California, they discovered

401
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:15,200
Speaker 2: the first galaxy beyond our own. Up until then, the

402
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 2: entire world believed that the entirety of the universe was

403
00:25:19,920 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: just what we now consider our one small, little Milky

404
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 2: Way galaxy. In fact, today we believe that there are

405
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: up to two hundred trillion galaxies. It's hard to believe

406
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 2: that just one hundred years ago we thought there was

407
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 2: one our own that was the whole universe, and today

408
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: we know that we are one in perhaps two hundred trillion.

409
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:46,399
Speaker 2: Incredible to think we were again wrong by so much,

410
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,120
Speaker 2: and that was just one hundred years ago. But thanks

411
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 2: again to technology, we now know otherwise. The other galaxies

412
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 2: were always there, but we didn't know how to see them.

413
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 2: In nineteen thirty, Alfred Wagner proposed the Earth's continents move

414
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 2: very slowly over millions of years, they can move a

415
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,119
Speaker 2: long way. Between nineteen twelve and nineteen twenty nine, he

416
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: published a stream of fossil and rock evidence to support

417
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 2: this theory. He died in nineteen thirty, again less than

418
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 2: one hundred years ago. His theory of continental drift was

419
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,320
Speaker 2: rejected by most scientists during his lifetime. It was only

420
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 2: in the nineteen sixties that continental drift finally became part

421
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: of mainstream science. In nineteen sixty four, Peter Higgs of

422
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,159
Speaker 2: Higgs Boson fame and his team first proposed the Higgs

423
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:32,679
Speaker 2: Boson particles existence. At the time, the standard model of

424
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 2: particle physics had not yet even been conceived. It took

425
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,399
Speaker 2: nearly fifty years later in the creation of the Large

426
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 2: Hadron Collider to finally prove his theory. He was one

427
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 2: of the lucky ones, as he was alive and able

428
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 2: to see his theory proven true, and he was validated

429
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 2: during his lifetime. In nineteen ninety two, doctor Alexander Wolscand

430
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: discovered the first exoplanet, meaning a planet around another star

431
00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 2: outside our Solar system. Now we are taught talking about

432
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 2: just thirty five years ago. This widely held consensus belief

433
00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:08,520
Speaker 2: at the time was that there were no planets around

434
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 2: any stars period. Thanks to technology today, we now believe

435
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 2: one in five stars has planets around them. Again, we

436
00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,439
Speaker 2: were so far off of what we now know to

437
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 2: be reality. As I mentioned before, our galaxy alone is

438
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:26,760
Speaker 2: known to have between one hundred and two hundred billion planets,

439
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 2: with approximately sixty billion of those planets in what they're

440
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,719
Speaker 2: calling the habitable zone that could potentially harbor life. Again,

441
00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:39,719
Speaker 2: that's using our paradigm for our type of life. So

442
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 2: this could in fact one day be an even bigger

443
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 2: number as well, and it could be even bigger yet

444
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 2: if you start to think about the existence of other

445
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 2: dimensions or realms. An important note here is the whole

446
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 2: time when science was considering other life in the universe,

447
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 2: it was with the understanding that there were no other

448
00:27:56,320 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 2: planets in the universe. In twenty seventeen, astronomer Robert Work,

449
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,639
Speaker 2: working in Hawaii, detected a strange object traveling through our

450
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 2: solar system. This turned out to be the first known

451
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: interstellar object in our galaxy and was named a Muamua

452
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,719
Speaker 2: Avi Lobe. The head of astronomy at Harvard brought this

453
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 2: name to prominence in twenty twenty one when he speculated

454
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:18,840
Speaker 2: that this could in fact be a craft from outside

455
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,080
Speaker 2: our Solar System. In twenty twenty, a team of researchers

456
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 2: led by Jane Graves from Cardiff University in the UK

457
00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 2: announced the discovery of a significant source of phosphorin, which

458
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,959
Speaker 2: is a biosignature gas that's closely related to life on

459
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 2: Earth in the clouds above Venus. These scientists were shamed

460
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 2: for claiming signs of life on Venus, but now they're

461
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: back with even more evidence, and this is now being

462
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 2: considered today. There are countless examples of scientists who were

463
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:51,200
Speaker 2: discredited and later, often after their death, proven to be correct.

464
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: These examples also illustrate how far off our accepted beliefs were.

465
00:28:56,520 --> 00:29:01,480
Speaker 2: I mean by factors of millions, sometimes trillion. It's astonishing

466
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 2: how off we were. Perhaps there are in fact different dimensions,

467
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,000
Speaker 2: but we don't know how to see them because we

468
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 2: don't have the technological know how yet to do so.

469
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: Perhaps other civilizations are reaching out to us, but we

470
00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,760
Speaker 2: don't have the technological know how on how to hear

471
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 2: and decipher these messages. Given a little time and technology,

472
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 2: our belief system can easily be turned on its head,

473
00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 2: as we've seen. The point of all these examples is

474
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 2: we may not understand what is happening with all this

475
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 2: phenomena in and around the UFO field, but that doesn't

476
00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 2: mean it's not real. It may just mean we don't

477
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,520
Speaker 2: have the technology or the knowledge to fully understand them yet,

478
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 2: And maybe we are off by one millimeters somewhere from

479
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 2: receiving the messages from across the universe. We are just

480
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: now getting to the point where we are unable to

481
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 2: tell if someone is AI or a real human being.

482
00:29:51,840 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 2: If we did come upon an extraterrestrial form of AI,

483
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:57,120
Speaker 2: and we were somehow able to communicate with it, we

484
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,440
Speaker 2: would have no way of knowing if it's in fact

485
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 2: a form of artificial intelligence itself or actually an alien

486
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,400
Speaker 2: intelligent as we would have no point of reference or

487
00:30:06,440 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: perspective on it. Again, it seems most likely to me

488
00:30:09,240 --> 00:30:11,280
Speaker 2: that this would be the case, as it seems to

489
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 2: make much more sense for our civilization to send out

490
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 2: some form of AI instead of a biological being to

491
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:21,280
Speaker 2: explore the universe. But then again, of course, I'm thinking

492
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 2: with our current way of understanding, it is clearly ignorant

493
00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 2: to judge everything by our current state of technology and

494
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: our current paradigms. We all have unique world views based

495
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 2: on what science tells us and what our life experience

496
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 2: has taught us. But I think it's important that we

497
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 2: all remember that this will change in the future, so

498
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 2: we shouldn't be so quick to dismiss other possibilities, as

499
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,959
Speaker 2: most assuredly, our technology, our knowledge, and our reference point

500
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,480
Speaker 2: will most certainly change. Better to be open minded when

501
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 2: these changes come than locked into a worldview which will

502
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 2: one day certainly be an archaic one. Speaking of paradigms,

503
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 2: check out the website of Danny Sheehan's organization at the

504
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,840
Speaker 2: New Paradigm Institute dot org, as they are doing incredible

505
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 2: work on moving our knowledge in this area forward. When

506
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:08,320
Speaker 2: we return, we're going to take a look at the

507
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 2: latest technologies and how they may affect our understanding of

508
00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 2: possible extraterrestrial communication as well as our own human experiences.

509
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: You're listening to Beyond Contact on the iHeartRadio and Coast

510
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 2: to Coast AM Paranormal podcast network. Welcome back to Beyond Contact.

511
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 2: I am Captain Ron, and we've been talking about the

512
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 2: importance of perspective and having an open mind with regard

513
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 2: to ET and UFO issues. We've seen how technology can

514
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,640
Speaker 2: open up a whole new world to us, often one

515
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 2: that was always there but we just didn't know how

516
00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 2: to person if its presence. And we've talked about how

517
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 2: oftentimes many of these new discoveries were ridiculed or dismissed

518
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,320
Speaker 2: out of hand, yet eventually those outlandish ideas were often

519
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:13,120
Speaker 2: later proven true. You can see how all this applies

520
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 2: nicely to the notion of alien civilizations. We have seen

521
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 2: throughout history that mankind has been caught up in its

522
00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:23,360
Speaker 2: own hubris, when in fact it is very often wrong

523
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 2: in even the basic understandings of the universe as we

524
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 2: now know it to be. There are other technological developments

525
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 2: which could have a huge profound effect on what we

526
00:32:32,080 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 2: know about the universe and may help in the search

527
00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:39,280
Speaker 2: of extraterrestrial life. There's the proposed Habitable World's Observatory, which

528
00:32:39,280 --> 00:32:43,680
Speaker 2: would be a large infrared, optical and ultraviolet space telescope.

529
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,680
Speaker 2: It would be optimized to search for and image Earth

530
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 2: sized habitable exoplanets in the habitable zones of their stars

531
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 2: where liquid water can exist. There is also the ELT,

532
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:58,960
Speaker 2: aptly named the Extremely Large Telescope in Chile's Atacama Desert.

533
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,960
Speaker 2: This telescope is to be operational in twenty twenty eight

534
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:05,040
Speaker 2: and will be one hundred and thirty feet across, making

535
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 2: it the largest ever built. It will track down earthlike

536
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 2: planets around other stars and could become the first telescope

537
00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 2: to find evidence of life outside of our solar system.

538
00:33:14,760 --> 00:33:17,520
Speaker 2: The leap forward with the ELT can lead to a

539
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,960
Speaker 2: paradigm shift in our perception of the entire universe, much

540
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: like Galileo's telescope did four hundred years ago. Next, I'd

541
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: like to talk about us being on the verge of

542
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,719
Speaker 2: yet another scientific revolution which is poised to utterly change

543
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 2: the human experience as we know it. The first part

544
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 2: of this is the onset of artificial intelligence. Given the

545
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 2: digital computing is fundamentally based on mathematics, which is a

546
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 2: universal language that describes patterns, structures, and relationships, these systems

547
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 2: reflect fundamental principles that are likely to be universal. Therefore,

548
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 2: does stand the reason that another advanced civilization may develop

549
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 2: its own form of digital artificial intelligence, and or perhaps

550
00:33:57,760 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 2: something even more intriguing. As we are just getting a

551
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 2: handle on understanding this technology, we can already see how

552
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: it could vastly improve our space exploration, and as I

553
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 2: mentioned earlier, it seems like a much more logical choice

554
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 2: to send AI out into space to explore the universe

555
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 2: instead of humans. AI doesn't need breaks does it need

556
00:34:16,239 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 2: to eat, doesn't get sick, doesn't die, doesn't have to

557
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:23,279
Speaker 2: report to the wife. Nothing. It can continuously learn and

558
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 2: send back data to us. We are starting to see

559
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,799
Speaker 2: artificial general intelligence systems emerge that possess general cognitive abilities

560
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:34,000
Speaker 2: that are similar to human intelligence. We are already hearing

561
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:37,759
Speaker 2: about artificial superintelligence, which is a form of AI that

562
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 2: would surpass even the best human minds in every field,

563
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 2: including creativity, problem solving, and social intelligence. And it's just

564
00:34:47,560 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 2: going to continue exponentially from there. Elon Musk is currently

565
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 2: building the world's largest supercomputer called XAI. This computer will

566
00:34:55,320 --> 00:35:00,000
Speaker 2: have over one hundred thousand of these specialized Navidia superconductors

567
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 2: to train and run the next version of his gronk AI.

568
00:35:04,080 --> 00:35:06,680
Speaker 2: It's just massive. It's being built in a facility that

569
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 2: has over seven hundred and eighty five thousand square feet

570
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 2: and is set to open in twenty twenty five. And

571
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 2: this is not the only one. Others are being designed

572
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,040
Speaker 2: to be built right now as well. Not only will

573
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 2: AI greatly enhance our ability to explore the universe, but

574
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 2: it will give us better technology to understand what's happening

575
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,319
Speaker 2: in our skies right here on Earth. It can help

576
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,840
Speaker 2: us search for UFOs by analyzing large amounts of data

577
00:35:29,880 --> 00:35:34,880
Speaker 2: from various sources such as radar, satellite imagery, radio signals,

578
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,040
Speaker 2: and even eyewitness reports. It has the ability to identify

579
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:42,400
Speaker 2: things like planets, planes, drones, and the space station. AI

580
00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 2: algorithms can be trained to detect patterns or anomalies shifting

581
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:50,320
Speaker 2: through just massive amounts of information, making it much easier

582
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:53,200
Speaker 2: for researchers to focus only on the anomalies and the

583
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 2: data and investigate those further. Additionally, there are new artificial

584
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:00,719
Speaker 2: intelligence models that can detect alien life. According to a

585
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 2: study published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National

586
00:36:04,120 --> 00:36:08,560
Speaker 2: Academy of Sciences. They say this algorithm can distinguish between

587
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:13,279
Speaker 2: samples of biological and non biological origin ninety percent of

588
00:36:13,320 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 2: the time. This method should be able to detect alien

589
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 2: biochemistries as well as things similar to Earth life. It

590
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,359
Speaker 2: states that these results mean that we may be able

591
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 2: to find a life form from another planet, another biosphere,

592
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 2: even if it's very different from the life we know

593
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 2: here on Earth. And if we do find signs of

594
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 2: life elsewhere, we can tell if life on Earth and

595
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:38,520
Speaker 2: other planets derived from a common or a different origin. Obviously,

596
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 2: this is not necessarily intelligent life, but it will verify

597
00:36:42,080 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 2: confirmed life out there to mainstream science, which is a

598
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,799
Speaker 2: massive step on its own. If we do discover some

599
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 2: new message sent from an alien civilization, we would need

600
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 2: AI systems to decode and figure out the translation of

601
00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,880
Speaker 2: such messages. Not to mention, if we do actually have

602
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 2: an interaction with another intelligence, we would again need an

603
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:05,919
Speaker 2: AI system in order to be able to communicate with them.

604
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,640
Speaker 2: AI did start off as a language model, after all,

605
00:37:08,880 --> 00:37:11,879
Speaker 2: and as has been said earlier, not only would we

606
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,800
Speaker 2: send AI up to Explorer space because AI travels better

607
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:19,040
Speaker 2: than a biologic being like humans, but aliens too would

608
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:22,400
Speaker 2: most likely be sending some sort of artificial intelligence as well.

609
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:26,120
Speaker 2: So it is actually quite likely that the first official

610
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 2: alien human communication would really be AI to AI. This

611
00:37:31,000 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 2: is such a new frontier that we really don't know

612
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:36,720
Speaker 2: where it's headed. Neither do the top people in this field.

613
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 2: For example, Jeffrey Hinton, considered the godfather of AI, has

614
00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 2: expressed concerns about the dangers and fears of artificial intelligence.

615
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,400
Speaker 2: Here's a couple quotes that he has said on the subject.

616
00:37:48,880 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 2: The alarm bell I'm ringing has to do with the

617
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 2: existential threat of them taking control. I used to think

618
00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 2: this was a long way off, but I now think

619
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:02,959
Speaker 2: it's serious and fairly. He also wrote, it's quite conceivable

620
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 2: that humanity is just a passing phase in the evolution

621
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 2: of intelligence.

622
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 4: Wow.

623
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 2: Pretty incredible. Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, has been

624
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:16,839
Speaker 2: quoted as saying, I prep for survival, including AI that

625
00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:20,279
Speaker 2: attacks us. So clearly, we really don't know what AI

626
00:38:20,360 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 2: will become or what it's capable of, but it's important

627
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,680
Speaker 2: to note how the top people in this field are

628
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,680
Speaker 2: clearly concerned. There is yet another development, also by Elon Musk.

629
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,160
Speaker 2: They may have an equally profound effect on the world.

630
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 2: That is his Neurallink company and their brain computer interfaces

631
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:40,560
Speaker 2: or BCIs. These are computer chip brain implants that could

632
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:45,840
Speaker 2: potentially transform various aspects of medicine, technology, and human enhancement

633
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:49,759
Speaker 2: in the future. These BCIs could enable direct brain to

634
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:54,520
Speaker 2: brain communication or allow individuals to communicate with outspoken language,

635
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 2: creating an entirely new form of interaction. Not to mention

636
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,840
Speaker 2: the speed of this community, which will be much faster

637
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 2: than anything we have now. As you can imagine, it

638
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 2: will continuously get faster. Just as computers of ten years

639
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 2: ago are unusuably slow today, the same will happen here.

640
00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 2: More importantly, these brain computer interfaces could allow for more

641
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:20,720
Speaker 2: seamless interaction between humans and artificial intelligence, enabling an almost

642
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 2: cyborg like instant integration with AI systems. These computer interactions

643
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,640
Speaker 2: could take place at speeds ten times as fast as

644
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 2: we communicate, and up of what we now take to

645
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:34,880
Speaker 2: communicate with a computer system. They are already saying that

646
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:37,799
Speaker 2: the slow part of our interaction with AI is the

647
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:40,440
Speaker 2: time it takes for the human being to input to

648
00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:46,400
Speaker 2: the computer. Computers can already calculate one quintillion calculations per second.

649
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,480
Speaker 2: The human experience as we know it and have known

650
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,560
Speaker 2: it to be is about to go through profound changes

651
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,720
Speaker 2: over just the next couple generations, and this is already

652
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 2: happening right now. Two people have already had a computer

653
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 2: chip implant, and two more are getting it imminently. Neuralink

654
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 2: is a form of human augmentation, but this too could

655
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 2: potentially assist in the search for UFOs. It could potentially

656
00:40:09,760 --> 00:40:13,719
Speaker 2: enhance human perception by connecting our brains directly to sensors

657
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:17,120
Speaker 2: or devices that can detect signals related to UFO sightings.

658
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,960
Speaker 2: This enhanced perception could allow individuals to detect and interpret

659
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,359
Speaker 2: signals or phenomenon related to UFOs that are beyond our

660
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:28,879
Speaker 2: natural senses. It could enable direct access to an analysis

661
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 2: of vast amounts of data related to UFO sightings and experiences.

662
00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 2: People could analyze and interpret this data more efficiently, potentially

663
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:40,000
Speaker 2: leading to new insights and discoveries about the UFO phenomenon.

664
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 2: This technology could potentially enhance human capabilities and allow us

665
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 2: to perhaps gain a better understanding of many of these

666
00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:51,480
Speaker 2: different mysterious phenomenon. AI and neuralink have a huge potential

667
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,080
Speaker 2: to utterly change the human experience and the way we

668
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 2: both understand and interact with our world. Perhaps these technologies

669
00:40:58,200 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 2: will lead us to be able to detect and eva

670
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 2: and interpret messages from an alien civilization. Once again, It's

671
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 2: possible these messages are already coming here, we just haven't

672
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,680
Speaker 2: had the technology to hear them yet. These are just

673
00:41:09,719 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 2: a couple examples, The point being that I believe we

674
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 2: should stay at the very least open minded with regards

675
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 2: to these topics. As history has shown us time and

676
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 2: time again, Eventually our way of thinking will become an archaic,

677
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:24,720
Speaker 2: ignorant way of thinking. Hit us up on social media
