FBI *claims* they can't unlock an iPhone. How would they benefit from getting a court order making Apple provide hacking software for iPhones?

An antigravity device is real.

The public releases have been pulled, the info is packed away somewhere tighter than a frog's ass.

Consider this -

Personal electrical power generation at every home powered by the potential energy of a weight.  All that is required to move the weight to the top of its tower is turning a simple disc looking object under the weight.  When the weight is in position, swing the disc out of the way.



So you believe that this anti-gravity device breaks the law of conservation.  You believe that you can put less energy into moving something up than you get when it comes back down.
Apparently the EMP Drive ALSO breaks the law of conservation ... but it works  


One of your two assumptions is wrong. Either it doesn't work or it doesn't violate conservation.

I got to listen to a former CIA operative who (you could say) single handedly ended the Cold War by obtaining a shoebox full of KGB codes from a defector and somehow getting the defecting KGB agent and his wife and daughter out of the Soviet Union safely. If you feel like getting into the details of the operation, read "Red Rabbit" by Tom Clancy. Not one of his most well known books, but the CIA guy said the level of accuracy is ridiculously high, so high that the CIA had to threaten Clancy to stop publishing shit like that or otherwise there were gonna be problems.

Anyway, the guy said we already have technology beyond your wildest dreams, the only reason they don't (or can't) release it to the public is that doing so would cause a "technology shock" in America aka society couldn't handle such a degree of technological change so quickly without serious negative repercussions.

Some guy asked him whether he had ever seen an alien, to which he replied "What, alive or dead? Next question!"

That's a little bit of an odd statement, google scholar right now returns 21,700 articles on adaptive camouflage.  And the Russian research paper that started the stealth movement has been available on the internet since I can remember -- I don't recall it ever vanishing, nor would it be that easy to make that happen.

Typically once something hits the internet that's the end of keeping it a secret.

From what some very brilliant sciencey types tell me, we're more or less at a point where we can edit a human being's DNA to make radical changes. Here in the US ethics has held a lot of that research back, but in China, there aren't the inhibitions, they wouldn't blink at killing 250K people in trials to get a desired result.

Y'know, it's entirely possible he was just referring to Project Orion.  It's not something that would have been widely know of in 1993, it's entirely capable of interstellar travel at the larger ends of the model scaling, and it's a technology that would indeed take an act of God to get the government to actually build and deploy in a useful manner.

I remember seeing those photos of the high-flying delta wing aircraft about a month ago in another thread...and then the USAF goes off and published a rendering of the B-21 today that looks damn similar.  I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that the original guy posting that did indeed see some of the B-21 prototypes flying that day.

You mean the theoretical device which they're just now experimenting with on a small scale and lord knows when they'd actually be able to build a human sized craft based on the idea, let alone the support mechanisms?  Hardly the same as claiming we currently have interstellar travel...

It was from a USAF source, USAF printed document with the classification.  Why we had a copy of it I don't know.  But we also had some other documents I have no idea why we had as well, except they dealt vaguely with air defense suppression (with ICBMs) and defeating radar networks (which may have been the reason for the Russian paper).

Cleaning up after classified material packrats had its scary moments.
