Unless one is insane, one cannot believe in quantum mechanics and at the same time hail LIGO's "discovery" of gravitational waves. Simply because if gravitational waves, a manifestation of space-time bending caused by matter, do exist, quantum mechanics is just wrong:

http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg20727721.200-rethinking-einstein-the-end-of-spacetime.html
"Rethinking Einstein: The end of space-time (...) The stumbling block lies with their conflicting views of space and time. As seen by quantum theory, space and time are a static backdrop against which particles move. In Einstein's theories, by contrast, not only are space and time inextricably linked, but the resulting space-time is moulded by the bodies within it. (...) Something has to give in this tussle between general relativity and quantum mechanics, and the smart money says that it's relativity that will be the loser."

http://www.sciencemag.org/content/early/2015/08/05/science.aac6498
"In Einstein's general theory of relativity, time depends locally on gravity; in standard quantum theory, time is global - all clocks "tick" uniformly."

http://fqxi.org/community/articles/display/205
"If you'd asked Einstein, he would have told you that time is another dimension, much like the three dimensions of space. Together they knit together to create a spacetime fabric that pervades the universe. This notion of time as a dynamic, flexible dimension forms the basis of his immensely successful general theory of relativity, which explains how gravity manifests on cosmic scales as matter warps spacetime. On the other hand, however, the equally celebrated theory of quantum mechanics, which governs the nanoscale behavior of atoms and subatomic particles, says that time is unaffected by the presence of matter, serving as an absolute background reference clock against which motion can be measured."

Insanity just might be the case.

Mother nature appears to follow the rules of quantum mechanics *and*
relativity. The LIGO results do not contradict predictions of either
theory, but, in fact, supports both. QED

I find it very interesting that while HVAC constantly goes on and on
about all the people he thinks "believe in ESP" without any evidence
whatsoever as to what they actually believe, yet here is his butt-buddy
Bert talking about getting ESP messages from his imaginary friend "Treb"
and there is not a peep from HVAC who apparently accepts that as "science".

Is HVAC really that messed up in the head?

https://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/research/conferences/convergence/roundtable-discussion-questions/what-are-lessons-quantum
Perimeter Institute: "Quantum mechanics has one thing, time, which is absolute. But general relativity tells us that space and time are both dynamical so there is a big contradiction there. So the question is, can quantum gravity be formulated in a context where quantum mechanics still has absolute time? Or does time have to give. The answer, yes or no, is interesting. If the answer is no, then perhaps some experiment can probe whether or not time is absolute?"

The experiment is already a fact: Gravitational waves discovered by LIGO showed that "space and time are both dynamical" so quantum mechanics in its present version will have to be discarded. Unless... LIGO's discovery is a fraud.

BJ, no one is persecuting you. That's the point. Your delusional paranoia has run wild. It seems that anyone who disagrees with your insane and kooky beliefs in ghosts and ESP is and MUST BE secret government disinformation agents, sent into newsgroups in order to squash the 'truth'.

Now if you don't think that is a persecution complex, I don't know what to say. Perhaps you could ask some of your fellow travelers here like John or Maple Lips. I'm sure they will give you a satisfactory answer.

Because I still hold out hope for BJ. The shame he feels regarding his belief in ghosts is a GOOD thing. It shows that it's not too late for him.

By creating this shame, I have made a chink in his kook armor. He had begun to doubt his own beliefs and superstitions.

This is a good thing and I will not stop trying to illuminate the dark recesses of his mind. You're welcome BTW.

Now, as regards YOU, John... Well, I think that for you it's too late.
You have adopted a new age way of thinking which actually works for you. That's fine. You have no way of affecting anything in my world, so you can hold any crazy ideas you want.

I have never seen a ghost. I've never stated I "believe" in them. Only
pseduoscience is about "belief". That is HVAC's department. But HVAC has
admitted right here he believes in them! It's pretty clear who is
ashamed and it's not me.

The LIGO system is fraudulent by design:

http://beforeitsnews.com/space/2016/02/gravitational-wave-dicosvery-fraud-or-real-scientists-leave-device-running-unattended-as-they-head-to-hotel-2496320.html
"The LIGO team includes a small group of people whose job is to create blind injections—bogus evidence of a gravitational wave—as a way of keeping the scientists on their toes. Although everyone knew who the four people in that group were, “we didn’t know what, when, or whether,” Gabriela González, the collaboration’s spokeswoman, said. During Initial LIGO’s final run, in 2010, the detectors picked up what appeared to be a strong signal. The scientists analyzed it intensively for six months, concluding that it was a gravitational wave from somewhere in the constellation of Canis Major. Just before they submitted their results for publication, however, they learned that the signal was a fake. This time through, the blind-injection group swore that they had nothing to do with the signal. Marco Drago thought that their denials might also be part of the test, but Reitze, himself a member of the quartet, had a different concern. “My worry was—and you can file this under the fact that we are just paranoid cautious about making a false claim—could somebody have done this maliciously?” he said. “Could somebody have somehow faked a signal in our detector that we didn’t know about?” Reitze, Weiss, González, and a handful of others considered who, if anyone, was familiar enough with both the apparatus and the algorithms to have spoofed the system and covered his or her tracks. There were only four candidates, and none of them had a plausible motive."

The Nobel prize was not a motive? The 2010 event was a dress rehearsal; the premiere took place recently:

http://motls.blogspot.bg/2016/02/ligo-journal-servers-behind-scenes.html
Luboš Motl: " On September 9th, the LIGO folks were already convinced that they would discover the waves soon. Some of them were thinking what they would buy for the Nobel prize and all of them had to make an online vote about the journal where the discovery should be published. It has to be Physical Review Letters because PRL (published by the APS) is the best journal for the Nobel-prize-caliber papers, the LIGO members decided. Five days later, Advanced LIGO made the discovery. Four more days later, as you know, they officially started Advanced LIGO. ;-) "

John to HVAC words only mean what he SAYS they mean. In fact to him
words can been opposite mutually exclusive things to him at the same
time. That is the power of a great fantasy life.

Things with no volume or of infinite extent make perfect sense to HVAC

Yes, because of experimental confirmation of theories that involve them.

Yes, because travel without consumption of energy has been known since
about 1600. See Galileo. Also see experimental confirmation.

They can, yes. Most (not all) engineers can show you the calculations.

So you see the difference? You measure ideas by what makes sense inside
your head, REGARDLESS OF EXPERIMENTAL CONFIRMATION. In your scheme of
things, if something experimental is surprising and you thought such a
thing would be impossible, then it is STILL impossible and your mind
just rejects the evidence. It doesn't seem to occur to you that your
mind might be WRONG.

Yup. Which makes it all the more interesting that he would hold up a

Where is the documentation of millions of reports?
Don't just pull it out of your ass and say, there are millions of people
in Mexico City, and they all must have seen it, so there must be

This is just like you seeing Boyd Burgerflipper having the title of

Well, of course there are many natural phenomena that aren't fully understood.


I love it when someone reports a UFO 50 ft in diameter and metallic and
the "official" explanation is he mistook Venus for a UFO. Of course,
what you need to know and nobody notices is that UFOs at a distance DO
look like Venus! Which shows the officials know more than they are
letting on.

Anecdotal evidence is worth nothing in science. If you had ANY science training you'd know that.

I want a hunk of alien metal or ANYTHING which can be examined, then sent to another lab where THEY can examine it.

Humans are easily fooled, just look how you and John have been fooled.
Humans lie. Human memory is subject to error. Humans are unreliable.

The bottom line is that there are NO aliens visiting the earth. Possibly we are the only intelligent, technological civilization in the universe.

You mad BJ?

I'm happy to just point out shit you make up, John.

Last year there was a UFO sighted in NYC in September. There were a
number of 911 calls. Do you know how many calls? Of course you do. There
are 8.4 million people in NYC, so there were 8.4 million reports.

Oh whoops. No.

Seven 911 calls.
About a dozen calls to newspapers and TV stations.
So let's say 20.

Or let's do what John does and say millions.

Does it make you feel better to "fill in the blanks", John?

Oh- people have to CALL someone?
Who do they call?
How are the calls tallied?
If I see a UFO and DONT call, does that
mean there was no UFO?

In 2015, there were 8000 reports by March.
Look it up.
Now, if 1 in 100 actually REPORTED what they
saw, there were 300,000 sightings in 2015, alone.

So- 10 years = 3 million.
How many did I say?

Sorry
2000 reports by March 2015
8000 per year
If 1 in a 100 report, 800,000 last year alone

And if 20 people call, your certainty that the same thing was seen by
millions of people who DIDN'T call is based on what, exactly?

Oh, I get it.
"Because those few called, it MUST have happened. And because it MUST
have happened, then millions of people MUST have seen it. And because
millions of people saw it, then it's an absolute certainty that it
happened. Nobody can dispute millions of eye witnesses."

Really, John? Really???

But 1 in 100 didn't report. Had this number been right, then there would
have been 840,000 reports from the September 2015 NYC reported UFO.
There weren't. There were 20 max. So instead of 1 in 100, that's 1 in
42,000. And you're presuming that 41,999 DID see it but didn't report
it, which you can't possibly know.

Request denied.

John just so you'll know, a UFO report is worth absolutely zero as evidence.

I will believe anything so long as there is evidence to support it.
However, the more outrageous the claim, the more outrageous the evidence must be. Note that some old, fat guy with a picture of a toy alien and that alien's ghost do not qualify unless your name is John or BJ.

The fact that you two space cadets even buy into that story for a minute would be enough to deny you a security clearance

Aliens are NOT the issue. The issue is the near century of government
cover-up of UFO data. How can anyone know what is involved when the
gummint has clowns like you making up all sorts of shit to keep the
cover-up going? The cover-up is BEYOND DOUBT!

You mad as being exposed again, HVAC?

HVAC is paid to deny it all. He says he will believe, but he's a
professional liar. Military reports, police reports, commercial pilot
reports, radar reports, crowds of people all seeing the same thing (mass
hallucination he says, whatever that is). He denies it all and won't
even read or consider it. It doesn't get any more irrational and
ignorant than that. No offense.

Of course I have read and examined the case for UFOs and aliens.

When I was a kid.

But childhood must end or you wind up like BJ or John. (MapleLoops too).

I read everything I could get my hands on. I was very interested in UFOs. But at the end of the day, I realized that most were frauds and the remaining unexplained were exactly that... Unexplained. To take the leap of faith that you have, to believe that unexplained = proof of aliens, was a leap I was not and am not stupid enough to make.

Secret branches of the government and military use retards like you to mask classified projects. I cannot say much regarding these projects but having you UFO freaks to divert attention away from reality is playing right into our hands. You are useful idiots.

"It was, said the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, which has invested US$1 billion (Dh3.67bn) in the project, "one of history's greatest scientific discoveries". Cue unquestioning celebratory headlines around the world. In the ensuing excitement, even US president Barack Obama found time to Tweet "Einstein was right!". Only, he wasn't. Einstein believed in neither gravitational waves nor black holes. While there are few theoretical or experimental physicists who would dispute Einstein's immense significance to their field - his 1915 general theory of relativity nailed gravity and is the foundation of all modern astrophysics - a handful of scientists outside the Ligo magic circle have expressed scepticism about the discovery."

"On September 16, 2010, a false signal - a so-called "blind injection" - was fed into both the Ligo and Virgo systems as part of an exercise to "test ... detection capabilities". At the time, the vast majority of the hundreds of scientists working on the equipment had no idea that they were being fed a dummy signal.

The truth was not revealed until March the following year, by which time several papers about the supposed sensational discovery of gravitational waves were poised for publication.

"While the scientists were disappointed that the discovery was not real, the success of the analysis was a compelling demonstration of the collaboration's readiness to detect gravitational waves," Ligo reported at the time.

But take a look at the visualisation (www.ligo.org/news/blind-injection.php) of the faked signal, says Dr Kiriushcheva, and compare it to the image apparently showing the collision of the twin black holes, seen on the second page of the recently-published discovery paper (tinyurl.com/h3wkvmo).

"They look very, very similar," she says. "It means that they knew exactly what they wanted to get and this is suspicious for us: when you know what you want to get from science, usually you can get it."

The apparent similarity is more curious because the faked event purported to show not a collision between two black holes, but the gravitational waves created by a neutron star spiralling into a black hole. The signals appear so similar, in fact, that Dr Kiriushcheva questions whether the "true" signal might actually have been an echo of the fake, "stored in the computer system from when they turned off the equipment five years before"."
