Where is this 600M years taken from? big claims based on assumptions, I don't like this kind of science, building on too many assumptions and you are going too far from the truth and this is the opposite of what science tries to achieve.

I can't say the same about the financial system where banks were bailed out with public money or big companies "legal" tax evasion etc, this is the inequality people complain and Ezra was pointing out.

Maybe we should start taxing corporations the same way we tax the average person, no more tax heavens and special tax laws, everyone pays the same unique percentage from earnings/profits and from the extra cash the government can provide a social service to allow everyone who meets certain requirements to start a startup.

Unfortunately governments are bought by corporations and they get special treatment, they get bigger and not only we all pay higher taxes because they pay less but it's also harder to start a company because of oligopolies and government special treatment for the 1%

Europe also wants to regulate internet traffic, at the same time an internet law is passed and both us and europe want a broader commerce union with TIPP.

Are all these tools implemented to eventually censor people who will disagree with all that is coming with this new union? something like china does with everything that is against the party? what are they trying to do to our society with these baby steps?

We need the next steam engine for a new industrial revolution, space exploration and our society depends on it.

I think that all space resources should be channeled into this, our current approach to solar system exploration is the same as trying to explore the world by foot, expensive an inefficient and no matter how big our ambitions are we don't have the technology to accomplish them.

Given that we don't exactly know how the brain works, what if out of body experiences are real and the scientific explanation just tries to fit it in the general accepted world view as a brain bug just because it's too strange?

Even if sometimes it seems strange to receive a down vote there are many people with different opinions and even if they told you the reason it won't help you much, other than entering a time consuming debate I don't see what else you can do.

Down votes increased because hn got bigger, and it only means someone disagrees with you, why do you see it as a punishment?

Also having thousands confirm the event rules out a hoax, on top of that the former governor who was also a trained pilot could easily identify flares or other military plane. You need to look at all the evidence and details.

To have a piece of alien technology you can only have it if you receive it, you or me will surely not be that special to receive it and if world leaders will have the privilege you might never know.

Also it's enough proof to hover that big craft in mid day over a big city but for whatever reasons they still give us a chance to doubt, I suspect that the reason is to avoid panic as a big percentage of world population is still religious and not ready yet but they still give us a sign that we are not alone.

There are 4 videos shot from the event on youtube that you can watch, also high definition cameras still don't have very good optics to focus on moving objects at high altitude, a better sensor alone will not help much with the video quality especially in the night.

Also these kinds of events are very rare so there too many things, like good camera with good lenses, tripod, being in the right spot, last long enough etc to be in place to get that clear hd video.

I hear this extraordinary evidence claim text often and I think that people that say it in fact ask for an official government statement or a live tv streaming of a landing etc but they will never get it because the government will never admit that is not the absolute power unless it's too obvious to deny it and also to avoid population panic.

Using the above analogy the message sent from the future (the man exists) to the past will prevent the grandfather to be killed just like the decaying atom, maybe the messages send back and forth from the future rewrites the events to prevent the paradox, something like backtracking until it works.

Why is that? Another reason people lost trust is the arrogance of some scientist that seem to ignore the complexity of their subjects and don't see the limits of their research.

Also people like you that believe that everything that has gone trough a scientific study must be true, science can also get it wrong sometimes, don't stop thinking and questioning.
