As revolutionary as this stuff is, it fits within our current understanding of the universe, or maybe a tiny bit outside (for now). Intelligent interstellar aliens using unfathomable technology, secretly interacting with humans doesn’t. What you’re asserting at this point is that all of science as we know it is wrong, and everything we’ve built was just incredible, one-in-a-trillion fortune that any of it worked at a…

And our goggles to see far away aren't that great. We barely know anything about the surface of these planets. The main argument in favour of the non-existence of aliens are religious books.

Try the Rare Earth Hypothesis. There are only 10^11 stars in the Milky Way galaxy, you don't need to stack up many terms in a "Drake equation" to push the result to n…

Absent the former explantation, I'm starting to believe this is real. Also, it's not like all the author's are unknown hacks. Hyun Tak Kim has about 10k citations (Google scholar, which sometimes combines people who have the same name t…

According to this video: https://twitter.com/xmal/status/1300754522218913799 it is possible to have stable levitation using a copper plate below the magnet. OP's video has two stacked metal objects – could the lower one possibly contain copper?
