Academic Books, Chapters In Books, Contribution To Books:Davis, E. W., Foreword, in Starlight, Starbright: Are Stars Conscious?, Greg Matloff, Curtis Press, Norwich, UK, 2015, pp. xv-xix.
Wut. Barnes and Noble description: "...A simple "toy" model of panpsychism is then presented, in which a universal field of proto-consciousness interacts with molecular bonds via the vacuum fluctuation pressure of the Casimir effect. It is shown how this model is in congruence with an anomaly in stellar motions called "Parenago's discontinuity." Cool, redder, less massive stars such as the Sun apparently circle the center of the galaxy faster than their hotter, bluer, more massive sisters. This discontinuity occurs at the point in the stellar distribution where molecules begin to appear in stellar spectra. Observations of main sequence stars out to ~260 light years and giant stars out to >1000 light years using the ESA Hipparcos space observatory support the reality and nonlocality of Parenago's discontinuity. Local, more conventional explanations for this phenomena are not supported by observations of other galaxies and spiral arms of the Milky Way. If position and kinematics data for ~1 billion stars currently being obtained by the new ESA Gaia space observatory demonstrate that Parenago's discontinuity is a galaxy-wide phenomenon, the hypothesis that anomalistic star motion is due to stellar volition, as described by philosopher/author Olaf Stapledon in his classic novel Star Maker, will be strengthened, as previously discussed by the author in the peer-reviewed journal JBIS. Other observational support for panpsychism is considered as are future observational data that could support or falsify the hypothesis. It is not impossible that panpsychism is emerging from the realm of philosophy as a new subdivision of observational astronomy. Ramifications of this are that simple models of universal proto-consciousness may be subject to inductive tests using current and future space observatories." Hoookay, that's pretty open minded, like, frequent LSD use level open minded. |

Quoted: How can we profit from this? I want to believe! Edit... why a reveal? Why now? Also... is it a good thing? View Quote If any of this is true, it could be a distraction to get people to stop rioting over bullshit... or a distraction from something terrible that's going on... or Trump wants people to know and he's worried he may not have much time left to get it out... or maybe something else entirely... or it's total bullshit. |

Quoted: No. It's not real. The Pentagon didn't say or release anything in that article as others have pointed out. Although this is the kind of thing that could get Trump made God Emperor for life. View Quote The NYT article is real. The meaning of the article is open for debate. Now, if POTUS or the Pentagon start dropping more disclosure goodies, then all bets are off. Of course, it is 2020, so... |

Back in college my roommates and I used to joke that Stargate SG-1 was a fictionalized account of the real Stargate program. We really got going when the show featured Wormhole Xtreme- a fictionalized version of the Stargate program for public consumption. A show within the show and it’s purpose was to soften the blow when the government revealed the Stargate.
An episode or two involved a cameo of AF CoS General Jumper and we mused, that’s how the government would reveal something so profound as alien life. With an entertaining TV show. |

I've always believed that we've been visited by other worlds.
If the government says it's true, I'm going to miss that belief. |

Quoted: Maybe it was what was buried under the ice in Antarctica and was released a couple years back. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: What if what is known as "SARS-CoV-2" was actually let loose and started when all those people congregated around Area 51???? The timeline fits! Maybe it was what was buried under the ice in Antarctica and was released a couple years back. Maybe it was engineered to be soft on humans but lethal to aliens... |
