Anomalies and Quantum Mechanics. 

Many people had been exposed to the wonderful ideas of Quantum Mechanics: the physics of the micro-world. 

Beyond a certain scale in that micro-world things are far from the "reality" that we perceive in the "classic" macro world. 

At that lower scale for example our two valued logic: that a given statement can only have a true or false truth value does not apply anymore: things can be true, or false and also "anything in between", the truth value of things could be a "probability" value ranging from 0 to 1, "0" for certainly false, "1" for certainly true but any real value between 0 and 1 as a probability of that truth value. 

This lead to very "weird" occurrences as for example a particle on a side of a "barrier" always will have a non zero probability of being at the other side of the barrier; "tunneling" spontaneously through it, the so called tunneling effect on Quantum Mechanics that have multiple practical applications in semiconductors. 

But what many people do not know is that quantum mechanical effects can manifest at the macroscopic level: superfluity and superconducting are two known quantum phenomenon at the macroscopic level. 

For example you can have a superconducting ring where all electric current flowing through that ring is moving in one direction AND also is moving in the opposite direction simultaneously, that will be a "contradiction" for a classically educated engineer and a cause of cognitive dissonance. 

This basic macroscopic quantum effect is used in the quantum computers being manufactured by D-Wave systems today for example. 

If a physical phenomena can be reproduced in laboratory conditions then it is natural to consider that similar occurrences can happen in nature, or even more: that it could exist phenomena that are directly or indirectly the result of quantum effects at the macroscopic level, phenomena where our classical two valued logic does not apply by being too narrow. 

And obviously the phenomena that we have in mind are Anomalies. 

If some Anomalies are plasma based lifeforms then their mastering of quantum physics is at their very being and the exploitation of macroscopic quantum effects by them will be just "natural". Superfluity and superconducting will be just two known phenomena that we know that they can use, but do we know all quantum macroscopic effects?
Obviously no.

Jeremy Thomas April 20 at 5:16pm EN + PT -- The intrinsic limitations of a dogmatic mindset





April 20 at 5:16pm


EN -- The intrinsic limitations of a dogmatic mindset. 

Dogmatic mindsets in Science are intrinsically limited for a very simple reason: people exposing a dogmatic approach in Science usually gives priority to accepted dogmas over Reality and by Reality we mean consistent observational data coming from multiple independent observers. 

Dogmatic approaches are unable to go beyond their self imposed rigid restrictions, they are unable to make "connections" beyond the obvious ones given to them by the established dogmatic framework that they accept. 

Since these people are unable to make connections beyond the existing boundaries they are unable to make new discoveries or even accept new ones since that will alter the rigid framework that they cherish. 

For example even in a very "rigid" and formal setting as Mathematics that is the intrinsic incarnation of the Platonic Universe dogmatic approaches had failed miserably. 

The dogmatic approach in Mathematics was unable to discover non Euclidean Geometries for thousands of years only very fresh approaches to the "parallel problem" in Euclidean Geometry were able to discern the "independent" character of some axioms respect to others and this indirectly opened the door to all new developments in formalization in the 20th century that lead to computers. 

But what many of these dogmatic individuals really do not know or had not internalized is this development in formalization lead to the Godel's Incompleteness Theorems around the 1930's. 

These incompleteness theorems are actually a mortal blow to dogmatism because essentially they imply that any sufficiently complex mathematical model is intrinsically "incomplete": there are going to be always some claims that can be made inside that model that will be "undecidable"; meaning that the truth value of these claims can not be derived from the given model. In any such model "anomalies" or "emergent" properties always will be found. 

And this result is a nightmare for Dogmatism and anybody that had dreamed about an "Elegant Universe" and the History of Science is just an indirect confirmation of that philosophical conclusion: Reality is intrinsically complex and our search for knowledge and understanding is a never ending process, Dogmatism is intrinsically flawed.



PT -- As limitações intrínsecas de uma mentalidade dogmática.

As mentalidades dogmáticas na Ciência são intrinsecamente limitadas por uma razão muito simples: as pessoas que expõem uma abordagem dogmática da Ciência, geralmente dão prioridade aos dogmas aceites sobre a Realidade e por Realidade referimo-nos a dados observacionais consistentes, provenientes de múltiplos observadores independentes.

As abordagens dogmáticas são incapazes de ir além das  rígidas restrições auto impostas, elas são incapazes de fazer "ligações/conexões" além das evidentes que lhes são dadas pela estrutura dogmática estabelecida, que eles aceitam.

Uma vez que essas pessoas são incapazes de fazer ligações/conexões para além dos limites existentes, elas são incapazes de fazer ou aceitar novas descobertas, pois que vai alterar a estrutura rígida que essas mesmas pessoas valorizam.

Por exemplo, mesmo num ambiente muito "rígido" e formal como a Matemática, que é a encarnação intrínseca do Universo Platónico, as abordagens dogmáticas falharam miseravelmente.

A abordagem dogmática em Matemática, foi incapaz de descobrir Geometrias não Euclidianas durante milhares de anos;  apenas as abordagens muito recentes ao "problema paralelo" na Geometria Euclidiana foram capazes de discernir o caráter "independente" de alguns axiomas a respeito de outros e isso, indirectamente, abriu a porta para todas as descobertas novas, sobre a formalização no século 20, que conduziram aos computadores.

Mas o que muitos desses indivíduos dogmáticos realmente não sabem ou não interiorizaram, é que esse desenvolvimento na formalização conduziu aos Teoremas da Incompletude de Gõdel  na década de 1930.

Esses teoremas de incompletude são, na verdade, um golpe mortal no dogmatismo, porque essencialmente implicam que qualquer modelo matemático suficientemente complexo é intrinsecamente "incompleto": haverá sempre algumas alegações que podem ser feitas dentro desse modelo que serão "indecidíveis"; significando que o valor de verdade destas reivindicações não pode ser derivado do modelo dado. Em qualquer desses modelos, serão sempre encontradas "anomalias" ou propriedades "emergentes".

E esse resultado é um pesadelo para o Dogmatismo e qualquer pessoa que tivesse sonhado com um "Universo Elegante" e a História da Ciência é apenas uma confirmação indirecta dessa conclusão filosófica: A realidade é intrinsecamente complexa e a nossa busca de conhecimento e compreensão é um processo sem fim. O Dogmatismo está intrinsecamente deteriorado.

Jeremy Thomas April 19 at 4:42pm Science Types Dogmatism

Science Types Dogmatism.

Going to any kind of Science related forum or group online trying to explain the reality of Anomalies is really a great experience, sometimes comparable to the knowledge that we had gained about Anomalies.

These people reactions are essentially not different from the reactions coming from UFO/ET believers and that should be expected as both groups had been "educated" in the same schools, college and universities.

But what stand apart on Science types is their "militant" dogmatism that many times become ridiculous. These people frequently act like programmed automatons.

A typical interchange with them may look like this:

- Observer of Anomalies(OA): The reality of anomalies is an observational claim that only can be verified by independent observations.
- Science Type(ST): Is there any test done to verify this claim?

- OA: No tests so far only observational data.
- ST: Is there any published paper about this that I can read?

- OA: No, this is relative new and we are trying to spread this knowledge.
- ST: Are you familiar with the scientific method? This is not a place for pseudoscience.

- OA: This is not pseudoscience but a basic claim that can be independently verified by anyone, even you.
- ST: Is there any test done to verify any of this? Your claims are based in being ignorant of the scientific method, this is a graphics showing the process that you must follow in the scientific method....


At that point you know that there is nothing that you can say that will change their programmed dogmatic approach, they simply are doomed using that approach and the reality of Anomalies is the perfect and ongoing fact showing the intrinsic failure of their methods.

Visual references: 

Weather balloon; any floating elongated object always will tumble and any tether will show oscillating motion as this weather balloon tether, we have to assume that any tumbling object is not anomalous unless there are others characteristics in the object that makes it anomalous, but rigid tethers or rigid elongated objects are always anomalous because that flying pattern implies autonomous motion not drifting/floating.

April 11 at 9:06pm


The fact is that two years ago almost nobody was using the word Anomaly to refer to these objects but today even Scott Browne is using it to describe his "In the Field" group goals, they intuitively know that UFO is a decaying word and many others already know about anomalies, in that sense we had made a great hole in the UFO thing, more consistent evidence and unmasking of the UFO scam will only make this grow.

The UFO business

Traditional Ufology is the "ideological base" for the UFO business with a huge customer base of global reach, this shady business is the unavoidable byproduct of traditional ufology, it is actually a very good business model with very easy to follow almost scripted rules, the UFO business manifest in the multiple online UFO sites or channels, some of them may come and go but the almost unlimited source of idiotic believers to fool is a powerful magnet for anybody that may want an easy buck, a huge demand is always a good incentive for the proliferation of many shady businesses trying to fulfill that demand.

No amount of smartness can replace direct experience

The knowledge gained by direct experience can give anybody an "edge" over anybody else that did not have that direct experience and the reality of Anomalies are the perfect example showing that.

The best and brightest minds on this planet had been unable to handle the reality of Anomalies any kid with a fresh and open mind will gain an edge over these very "bright" people after observing and internalizing this reality.

Nobody can outsmart Reality.

Jeremy Thomas April 7 at 11:58am Debunkers







April 7 at 11:58am

Debunkers 

"Debunker" in this field always had been a codeword for talking-only-people, almost exactly as ufologist, these people as a rule have zero or close to zero observational experience using optical equipment with high magnification, without that observational experience they had not been exposed to the very weird world of anomalies. 

And this experience is critical as the Lavoisier case clearly shows: you can be a renowned scientist in a given field but that do not make you an expert in another field where you lack experience; Lavoisier denied the reality of meteorites simply because he went beyond his area of expertise and experiences and made claims based on preconceptions and beliefs exactly as any debunker had done in this field. 

So the only valid assessments in this field can be done by the people with real experience observing anomalies using optical equipment with high magnification anybody else are just (or worst ) like Lavoisier making assessments about meteorites and Lavoisier actively denied the reality of meteorites.

Jeremy Thomas April 6 at 9:55pm The best captures





April 6 at 9:55pm

The best captures 

When you are looking for insights and knowledge the best captures are not the ones with lots of "brightness and colors", whoever uses that criteria is really very superficial and not really looking for information. 

In this area where we had claimed that anomalies mimic normal looking objects the best way to show that fact is actually documenting anomalies transforming from something else to a balloon for example or in reverse from a balloon to something else. 

When people see that kind of transformations is very clear what is happening, seeing only the end points of the transformations never is the same as observing the transformations. 

The same for clearly morphing anomalies as no mundane object exhibit shape shifting. 

For any object that looks like a balloon and behave like a balloon no amount of argument can dispels the doubts about the object being a balloon, that is why so many debunkers use that cheap shot all the time. 

But when clear transformations are present debunkers are always mute as many other people that continue to bring out the hardened mimics when there is already plenty of documented observations showing transformations. 

Observations showing transformations always provide more "information content" and insights, people looking for knowledge should always seek these ones.

Jeremy Thomas April 6 at 5:31pm Your most precious possession





April 6 at 5:31pm

Your most precious possession

Your most precious possession is arguably your capacity to learn.

This group is a perfect example of how damaging is the lack of being able to learn. Many people that were in this group for years left the group without actually learning anything and without improving their observational skills and thinking the same.

The main obstacle that anybody has is in their minds, that is their worst enemy.

Today there are plenty of resources to learn but still people are unable to use them simply because their worst enemy is winning the fight.

Some had argued using external limitations as money or else, but for a committed mind that is really just an excuse.
