4-1-2026 Artemis II Lift Off: For Greg...Ad Astra!

[B @QuantumTumbler]

One of the biggest problems in modern science communication is that people no longer distinguish between physics, theoretical physics, and speculation.

They’re not the same thing.

Physics is what survives contact with reality.

Theoretical physics is what might survive contact with reality.

Speculation is what hasn’t survived contact with reality yet.

Those categories matter.

A toy model can be mathematically beautiful and still have nothing to do with nature.

A simulation can produce amazing results and still fail when exposed to the real world.

A theory can explain existing data perfectly and still make no successful predictions.

That’s the part people often miss.

Nature doesn’t care how elegant an equation is.

Nature doesn’t care how many parameters you fit.

Nature doesn’t care how badly we want something to be true.

Reality gets the final vote.

And that’s where a lot of UFO culture, exotic propulsion claims, consciousness theories, and fringe physics go off the rails.

The people involved are often sincere.

Some genuinely believe what they’re saying.

Some may have had experiences that felt absolutely real to them.

But subjective certainty is not the same thing as objective evidence.

We already know the human brain can generate experiences that feel completely real.

Dreams feel real.

Hallucinations feel real.

LSD experiences feel real.

False memories feel real.

The feeling of certainty is not proof.

It’s a psychological state.

Science begins when we ask a harder question

“What would convince us we’re wrong?”

That’s the dividing line.

Real science puts itself at risk.

It makes predictions.

It accepts failure.

It allows reality to say no.

Theories that can explain everything often explain nothing.

Because if every outcome supports the theory, then no outcome can test it.

The tragedy is that some of the most fascinating ideas ever conceived get mixed together with claims that never leave the whiteboard.

And once that happens, the public stops knowing the difference between a mathematical possibility and a physical reality.

Physics isn’t the study of what we can imagine.

It’s the study of what survives reality’s audit.

@txrrxstrxxl @ufokimball Finally, Disclosure

[Ad Astra @SpaceScienceGod]

But also to lay it out. I’m not saying there are no such things as DEWs or DEW defense weapons, V2K, or TMS which we use in medicine. All I’m saying, that based on what I’ve seen in the case of Amy Eskridge, wounds and circumstances of where she was said to be attacked, it is highly unlikely it was a DEW. I’m also not saying there wasn’t foul play.

[Ad Astra @SpaceScienceGod]

@UAPLuigi @fratersolis “Painful Burning Sensation” is a nervous system attack, not actual burning 😂😂😂

[Ad Astra @SpaceScienceGod]

@fratersolis @UAPLuigi It’s ok 😂

[Ad Astra @SpaceScienceGod]

Dam it Frater! Can you please post the link to the paper next time not just a picture of the paper. That annoys the hell out of me...

Anywho, this paper looks to be some sort of general summary of DEW weapons and their use for jamming and targeting electronics (which by the way is their main use in the military). This is correct in that they use it to target drones and also destroy sensitive electronics (with sensitive information hopefully) of the enemy. It mentions nothing about them being used on people, the biological effects of signals, or what is required energy or design wise to do so.

@UAPLuigi @fratersolis That is true, but it takes 1200W to heat up some food to scalding temperatures and has to be 6-8 inches from the emitter, unobstructed. You starting to see the issue here? 😆

[Ad Astra @SpaceScienceGod]

That chart sort of says it all actually. Yes EMR can cause burns but under specific circumstances, and again it would affect your nervous system before you would get something like a burn. 5G guys that go up into the towers have to be careful, but they are literally right in front of the beam and that beam has a ton of energy at that range due to energy required for communication purposes. It would not be a little mark like in those pictures unless a microwave ablation tool was used on her, which could be possible, not sure where those pictures are from.

[Ad Astra @SpaceScienceGod]

Well just in case you didn't know, DEWs contain both RF and Microwave types. I am sort of biased towards RF because those were the first types of DEWs that were implemented. Plus the theory, as well as antenna design, amplification techniques, and electronic design, all come from the RF world. For sure you will need a RF engineer to design these types of systems and Microwave is just a different transmitter. It's sort of general engineer speak for this type of engineering field, sorry for the confusion.

With that being said EMR is just the energy of the signal. RF and Microwave both have EMR as that's how they propagate, but the amount of energy in the frequency range is what makes their EMRs different. And its important because the EMR due to their frequencies will determine penetration, energy delivered, and energy required.

The video is cool for sure, but it doesn't take that much energy to light up a florescent bulb, in fact you can do it with static electricity. He's also very close which due to the amount of energy, the amount of beam spread using that type of waveguide, makes sense (looks like its from a old microwave😅). Distance becomes a huge issue with DEWs and have to be designed for specific requirements to work for that purpose. Especially when it comes to the energy requirements. He's at 2m to light that bulb up, but if he was at 4m there would be a big difference. And if there was something in between him and the light, it would get worse (probably zero lighting of that bulb possibly).

If you look at these principles then you will realize the issues I have with claims that Amy was attacked by a DEW specifically.

Also LRAD uses acoustics, sound, which is essentially air pressure waves. RF based DEWs don't generate sound. What you might be thinking of is ADS but that actually covers both RF and Microwave frequencies. It's broad spectrum for maximum effect.

🔥 It’s happening!!

[UFOintros @UFOintros]

Here is a sped up clip from Mike Bautista and @Carl_Vibe’s footage as shown on @GoodTroubleShow.

You’ll notice each and every one of these “orbs” are moving in a straight light and look remarkably similar to the dozens of LEO footage i captured last year (see comments)

[Astral🛸 @The_Astral_]

It's Back. #ufotwitterweek

[Ad Astra @SpaceScienceGod]

@maamarakatti @UAPLuigi Nope. Especially if you account how ADS works and how RF would affect the nervous system. The “burns” or markings are not invective of high energy RF burns.

[Ad Astra @SpaceScienceGod]

@The_Astral_ Jacques Vallee is a f**king G, and the only ufologist I trust.

[Ad Astra @SpaceScienceGod]

@petaldairies Yes

@cosmicfauxpas Oh I know the feeling buddy…

[ProPixel Video Analysis and Research @BillyKryzak]

The more time you spend actively involved in UAP studies, the more you see that it is intertwined ultimately with the paranormal through visceral experience.
It's easy to get lost in the angels and demons theories when you don't understand the science of reality and consciousness itself. The truth appears to be far more complex with layers upon layers. Just like how the earth life system is incredible complex, this frontier is also. To boil it down to angels and demons shows a misunderstanding of the actual hidden reality living invisibly right beside us.

A Skeptical Guide to UFO Cases and Claims

With Steven Spielberg’s new blockbuster film "Disclosure Day" about to debut, scientists and educators will face a new barrage of student and public questions about UFOs (or, as they have been rebranded, UAPs).

@AndrewFraknoi has put together an updated guide to resources explaining what skeptics have found about UFO cases and claims. These include what really happened at Roswell, New Mexico, and analyses of the recent spate of military images, videos, and Congressional testimony. Most of the resources cited are easily and freely available on the Web. The free guide can be found at: https://t.co/6TOetnfM3h (PDF)
