Gen Mark Milley Don't Know Nuffin Dindu Nuffin Bout No UAP's...,

washingtontimes  |   EXIT INTERVIEW: Army Gen. Mark A. Milley has had a momentous — and at times polarizing — four-year run as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff under Presidents Trump and Biden. In the first of a series of articles ahead of the scheduled end of his tenure in October, Gen. Milley sat down with senior Washington Times military correspondent Ben Wolfgang to discuss some of the achievements and controversies of his time as the Pentagon’s highest-ranking military officer.

Some UFO sightings by military personnel are “difficult to explain,” said Gen. Mark A. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but the nation’s top general insists he has seen no evidence to back up public allegations that the Pentagon has recovered extraterrestrial beings or has engaged in decades of cover-ups to hide the truth from the American public.

In an exclusive interview with The Washington Times, Gen. Milley acknowledged that some reports of what the government now calls unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP, lack easy explanations despite serious, ongoing research inside the Pentagon and a growing belief that at least some of the craft could pose national security threats. He made the comments less than two weeks after former U.S. intelligence officer David Grusch told Congress under oath that he is aware of “a multidecade UAP crash retrieval and reverse-engineering program” and even suggested that the Pentagon has been secretly keeping extraterrestrial bodies in storage.

Gen. Milley didn’t address the credibility of Mr. Grusch’s testimony but made clear he has seen no evidence backing up the extraordinary claims.

“The guy was under oath. I’m sure that he was trying to say whatever he thought was true. … I’m not going to doubt his testimony or anything like that,” Gen. Milley told The Times during a wide-ranging interview in his Pentagon office on Friday. “I can tell you, though, that as the chairman, I have been briefed on several different occasions by the [Pentagon’s] UAP office. And I have not seen anything that indicates to me about quote-unquote ‘aliens’ or that there’s some sort of cover-up program. I just haven’t seen it.”

Reality Mechanics: Meditation? ESP? Or Something Far More Profound? (REDUX 8/9/22)

9:04 that's the only explanation I can get is that that if they if people are here 9:10 from another civilization then they if they've understood the the 9:15 higher the higher the finer points of quantum of quantum physics and how to 9:20 couple that from particles into beings that can do what quantum what particles 

The best way to understand their approach is by considering something else ordered yet non-repeating: "quasicrystals." A typical crystal has a regular, repeating structure, like the hexagons in a honeycomb. A quasicrystal still has order, but its patterns never repeat. (Penrose tiling is one example of this.) Even more mind-boggling is that quasicrystals are crystals from higher dimensions projected, or squished down, into lower dimensions. Those higher dimensions can even be beyond physical space's three dimensions: A 2D Penrose tiling, for instance, is a projected slice of a 5-D lattice.

9:25 can do now when I was at wright-patterson we had the flying saucers it went up I think they covered the distance from 9:32 Columbus to Detroit in something like equivalent of about 20,000 miles an hour 9:39 I don't think anyone in the canoe in the ordinary aerospace business would have 9:46 had any knowledge of what they were even talking about if you mentioned quantum 9:51 physics or or wormholes are the type of things we know now because if you went 9:59 to CERN and talked to the particle physicists they would tell you certainly some of this was possible because they 10:06 see it all the time where they think they see mass they really see they 10:12 really see energy frozen in it in a time quantum and what they're seeing is not 10:18 is this is really a frozen bundle of energy and it moves back and forth 10:25 almost without any restriction 

I thought there were enough credible stories that I may not be able to 10:32 explain them but they weren't phenomenon that were people's imagination whatever 10:41 they saw was real but I couldn't explain how it how it was real what made it real but I think what they I think they saw 10:48 what they saw near st. Louis there was a fairly large triangular object seen and 10:54 it covered the distance down to south st. Louis in some in some of its 11:00 sightings it was moving relatively benign Lee but then it it literally jumped about 20 miles in a sec couple of 11:07 seconds and I've received a lot of phone calls from the local newspapers and TV 11:13 stations is how can that be and 

I said I don't know how it can be except if you 11:18 explain it through something like a quantum physics explanation of time and 11:24 space relationships it gave you time and space travel but other than that I don't 11:30 there's no way I know that I can put the biggest rocket engine I could think of 11:36 on it it still couldn't get there at that speed and the noise and the sounds 11:42 you would make doing something like that would wake everybody up for 10 miles and 11:47 it made no sound at all it's see it starts out at hover and it literally almost disappears and pops 11:53 over here so it's not like it's not like a cartoon where it goes whoosh it's 12:00 almost like it disappears and comes up over here at least that the descriptions 12:06 that some of the police officers gave to it a lot of combat pilots routinely go 12:13 up to 7 and 8 GS but that's a very specific direction that's from your head 12:19 downward along the axis of your spine if you were to take that what's called 12:24 eyeballs in which is when you accelerate the forces this way you literally would 12:32 have your eyeballs and compressed out of their sockets and you have brain damage so that the G's the do that might be in 12:40 the level of order of so no that's not physically possible for any even even insects to take that level 12:48 of acceleration even over a short period of time you might get in an automobile 12:53 accident you might get a hundred two hundred and fifty G's and that's when the car is completely crushed so that's 13:00 what happened would happen to a human being if that were a conventional force accelerator so it's not a conventional 13:06 force accelerator because if there's people in human beings in them or something being in them that isn't 13:13 crushed then it has to be a different way of doing it the hard part is to find 13:19 a way to physically do that 

you know there are people who have been experimenting with zero-point energy or 13:25 try to tap zero-point energy for years every once in a while someone will do it 13:30 accidentally they'll call it cold fusion but I don't think it's cold fusion I just think it's a zero-point energy tap 13:36 except for three people that I know no 13:41 one has been able to control it when it happens it happens for a short period of time 13:47 and it's almost always destructive it's like drilling a hole into the base of Grand Coulee Dam and all of a sudden 13:54 this jet of water comes out that literally has enough pressure to cut you in half without a valve on it you can't 14:02 shut it off does one guy that that that 14:07 a friend of mine actually visited in Ann Arbor Michigan that was I consider a mathematical genius that actually 14:14 figured out a way to control it he was so paranoid he divorced his wife 14:20 left his wife and children and went in hiding because he was terrified that someone 14:26 would would kill him for the knowledge that he had the ability to tap this whenever he chose to and control it we 14:33 don't know worried we haven't seen him in five years I don't worry is you know right now today you've got an energy 

14:39 problem with the price of oil what do you think would happen if you introduced 14:45 an ability to attempt zero-point energy represents about 40 to 50 megawatts of 14:53 power per cubic inch of space that's a lot of power 15:00 that's 4600 million watts of power and 15:07 if you could tap it at will then no one 15:12 would have to sell gasoline or oil anymore you would just tap into it it would be it would be like taking and 15:20 going out to the Great Lakes and taking out one drop and using it it would you'd 15:25 hardly miss it and since it permeates the whole universe and it continually 15:31 fluctuates as it as as that as the matter and antimatter interact it's not 15:40 like it's a steady lake it's um you see it's a pool the size of the universe so 15:45 you'd never for what we've used before you never even miss it the only thing this one guy claimed that happened is if 15:52 you bottle it and move it to another location and release it he sounded 16:00 exactly like mr. Spock he said you create a tear in the in the time time 16:07 domain of the of local space and actually caused a problem which he 16:13 claims he did and he will never do it again which is bottle and move it the other part is that you're knock it 16:19 doesn't work on conventional jet engines one has to create an actual zero point 16:25 energy engine to do that this one guy in Ann Arbor Mich Michigan had one running in his basement 16:30 not connected to any power source whatsoever sitting in the middle of a table and it had been running for a year

Physics Without Metaphysical Assumptions

quantumphysicslady |  Quantum physics also poses major challenges to realism. In 2017, Chinese physicists experimented with two photons, that is, bits of light. The specially-created photons were separated by 700 miles. The experiment showed that the photons were able to instantaneously coordinate their behavior. This phenomenon is called “quantum entanglement.”

According to Special Relativity, no signal can travel across a distance instantaneously. How can one photon instantaneously “know” what another photon over 700 miles away is doing? What kind of reality are we living in?

When people learn about quantum physics, they find out about specific oddities like quantum entanglement. But the most fundamental oddity is its most fundamental premise: Both matter and energy are mere vibrations in an invisible, undetectable medium called “fields.” How does our very impressive, very solid physical universe arise from vibrations in a kind of nothingness?

How does our reality arise from vibrations? [Image source: David Chalmers and Kelvin McQueen, “Consciousness and the Collapse of the Wave Function” (modified to omit a label) http://consc.net/slides/collapse.pdf]

But it gets worse. The vibrations represent a cornucopia of possible physical realities, only one of which becomes the solid reality that we perceive. (If this sentence is baffling to you, you are not alone. It condenses the heart of quantum physics, which is puzzling enough, into one sentence—which is a terrible idea. See the footnote below.**)

Do the oddities of quantum physics mean we must abandon realism? No. Many physicists have come up with interpretations of quantum physics that are based in realism. It’s also true that some of these interpretations describe very odd realities. For example, the Many Worlds Interpretation, perhaps the oddest, describes us as having infinite copies of ourselves in infinite numbers of universes. The desire to salvage realism may be an important reason that the Many Worlds Interpretation is gaining popularity among physicists. But there are other realistic interpretations of Special Relativity and quantum physics that are less mind-blowing.

Quantum physics undermines the solidity of the physical universe. When people learn that quantum physics is based on the proposition that matter and energy are, at bottom, vibrations of questionable reality which shake invisible, undetectable fields, the solidity of our universe loses some of its impressiveness. Thoughts pop up like: Could our physical universe have no more solidity than a dream?

To the dreamer, the houses, the cars, and the monsters all seem completely real. So, too do to the hallucinations of the psychotic and those of someone on LSD. Our minds are quite capable of creating solid reality without any necessity of an independent external world.

Quantum physics may also create wonderings about the mysterious invisible medium for the vibrations of matter and energy: Could the vibrations of matter and energy be vibrations in a new kind of energy that makes up consciousness?

In other words, some begin to entertain the notion of idealism.

Mesostratum, Twistor Space And Aether...,

Interview Transcript. (helpful for following along)

researchgate |  We present a critique of mathematics as the sole means for discovery and validation of physical  truths and offer a conceptual alternative to the now virtually abandoned notion of a luminiferous  aether. We propose a ‘new physics’ embracing the central idea that spacetime itself is to  regarded as a secondary reality, constructed from something more primitive: twistor space, a  transcendent substratum or mesostratum.

Introduction
In his latest book [1], Roger Penrose contemplates the fashion, faith, and fantasy which have  entrapped most theoreticians in their pursuit of truths about ultimate physical and transcendent  realities. Penrose reexamines the uncanny enfolding of mathematical truths with the minutest and  largest properties and phenomena of the physical world and the remarkable effectiveness of  mathematics in describing and predicting those properties and phenomena. However, Penrose  implicitly cautions that discovering mathematical truths is not the same as discovering physical  truths: “. . . as regards what is really going on in the physical world, there is something profoundly  missing. To get a proper solution [for example] to the measurement paradox, we need a change in  the physics, not just some clever mathematics, brought in to cover the ontological cracks!” 

Discussion
Theoreticians have built ingenious mathematical structures and objects - virtually without  empirical content - which are applied to help improve understanding of almost every aspect of the  physical world. They have uncovered mathematical truths that echo and illuminate empirical  observations and discoveries - certainly contributing to knowledge of the physical world. Based on  strict adherence to fashion, faith, and fantasy, as elucidated by Penrose, they have tyrannically  insisted that mathematics is the exclusive instrument for the discovery and validation of such  knowledge. 


Large, powerful, expensive high energy facilities are often demanded by theoreticians who have  adopted iron-clad premises based essentially on combinations of fashion, faith, and fantasy.  Extreme high energy apparatuses - like CERN's Large Hadron Collider - are designed to duplicate  conditions assumed to have prevailed at the onset of a super-hot Big Bang. Alternative hypotheses  based on abundant evidence that the Cosmos emerged quiescently from a Bose-Einstein Condensate substratum are ignored or dismissed [2].

Theoreticians have imbued space with metric attributes and properties. Synthetical spaces  ostensibly produce quantum particles, quantum waves, and force fields that interact energetically.  Current concepts of spacetime are not restricted to just four dimensions. In an attempt to explain  quantum particles and waves, string theory posits ten-dimensional spacetime. M-theory, an  elaboration of string theory, posits compactified dimensions which reside unnoticed in Minkowski  spacetime. Synthetical sub-spacetime manifolds are considered able to manifest as physical  objects. Various vibrational modes of the manifolds are taken as being the origins and constituents  of quantum particles, fields and forces that pervade the cosmos.


Penrose bemoans the multitude of compact extra sub-space dimensions of string and M-theory  although they may well lead to an ultimate destination and next level of understanding. In his view,  that destination resides in twistor space which he studiously sets apart from the domain of  Minkowski spacetime. Twistor space is envisioned as a separate domain which coexists with and  complements Minkowski spacetime. Twistor space transcends Euclidian space and time wherefrom  Minkowski objects - such as light rays and light cones - are mapped onto corresponding twistor  objects - such as twistor points and Riemann spheres, receptively. 


Twistor space attributes may be best understood and explained with reference to the Penrose  impossible tribar. The tribar, an imagined three dimensional object. cannot exist in ordinary  Euclidean space, yet, its individual parts can. Penrose notes that locally there is nothing impossible  about the tribar concept. The impossibility is non-local, and disappears if one considers a small  enough region of the tribar. Penrose devised a cohomological context in which the local parts may  be joined, as illustrated by arrows in the figure.

 


Penrose resolves the impossibility issue with twistor theory in which the basic idea is to regard  conventional Minkowski spacetime as being subsidiary to twistor space: “Being a fully complex  space, [twistor space] provides the potential to exploit complex-number magic in ways that do not  readily present themselves in the standard spacetime framework. Accordingly, rather than using  descriptions in terms of real spacetime coordinates, one uses the complex twistor variables. . . .  twistor functions are not really to be viewed as 'functions' in the ordinary sense, but as what are  called elements of holomorphic sheaf cohomology.”
 

Penrose explains that although the notion of sheaf cohomology is sophisticated mathematically, it is
inherently simple. He suggests that the easiest way to picture this notion is to think of the way in  which a conceptual manifold can be constructed with a number of coordinate regions or patches.  Each ‘patch’ may be defined such that there is a transition function or ‘overlap’ between pairs of  patches. The transition function provides the glue that unites the patches to construct the manifold  and analogously provides the means to join the three ‘local’ parts of the Penrose tribar. 


Twistor space provides the cohomological foundation for realization and study of strings and other  types mathematical ‘continuum’ objects that are impossible to realize solely in particulate  space-time reality. Consider the emission of a quantum ‘particle’ from a physical device, the  detection of the ‘identical’ particle by another device and the curious and seemingly inexplicable  mode of transit from source to detector. The process alternates between two completely different  states: transit (involving state evolution U which is continuous and deterministic) followed by  detection and measurement (involving an abrupt state reduction R which is discontinuous and  probabilistic) as depicted by Penrose:

 


Since the state function ψ, describing state evolution U is continuous, it is a valid descriptor only of  the in-transit process conceptually occurring in twistor space (the mesostratum) [3]. The instant the  electron or photon is detected and measured, the wave function is said to have ‘collapsed’. This  simply means that ψ does not anticipate reduction R as a particle ‘jumps’ from twistor space to  Minkowski spacetime. 


Einstein stressed that special relativity took away the last mechanical property of the aether:  immobility. However, he asserted that special relativity does not necessarily rule out the aether,  because the latter can be used to give physical reality to notions of acceleration and rotation. This  concept was fully elaborated within general relativity, in which physical properties (which are  partially determined by matter) are attributed to space, but where no substance or state of motion  can be attributed to Einstein’s aether. 


Penrose’s twistor space which corresponds to the transcendent mesostratum substratum [3]  conceptually overcomes the problem of attributing substance to aether. Twistor space is not a  substance but a venue or domain where ‘continuum things’ such as light waves, electromagnetic  waves and fields transpirate and evolve as U before reduction R, i.e., detection/measurement in the  physical world.  
 

Conclusion
After an incisive critique of current theoretical physics [1], Roger Penrose offers a ‘new physics’  embracing the central idea “. . . that space-time itself is to regarded as a secondary notion,  constructed from something more primitive, with quantum aspects to it, referred to a twistor  space.” Penrose has in effect revived the notion of ‘luminiferous aether’ which in the late 19th  century, was the postulated medium for the propagation of light. The negative outcome of the  Michelson-Morley experiment suggested that the aether as a substance was non-existent. Instead  of characterizing it as a substance, Penrose’s twistor space aether is a substratum, which  corresponds the transcendent mesostratum [3] a hyperspace domain, wherein state evolution U  prevails exclusively, for example as Schrödinger wave functions and other wave propagation  modalities.
