“Oh, yeah, that's one of several theories that a civilization that advanced would have tremendous energy needs. And the easiest way to get energy is by encircling the mother's star with an envelope, and the envelope then would absorb most of the energy. In fact, that was an episode of Star Trek. They meet a star that is totally enveloped by a metal shell, the aliens left it centuries ago, but you know it can't be ruled out.”

“Theoretically possible, yeah, but unfortunately energy, fantastic amounts of energy, but the laws of physics do allow for the possibility of space warps. I mean, you've seen space warps on Star Trek, but where does Star Trek get the word spacewarps? It comes from physics.”

“Four and a half light years. And if you take a look at the Alpha Centauri system, the closest system to the Earth, you have red stars that could have life on them, we're not sure. They're not super hot, super large, in which case it would be very difficult to get life forms off the ground. But the point I'm raising is that the Milky Way galaxy, our backyard, has a hundred billion stars, and the probability of life existing among those stars is almost 100%. The question is, can they reach us? That means is it possible to create a space warp such that you can break the light barrier so that you can travel across the galaxy and visit the Earth?”

“That's the traditional excuse for not revealing these things, but the other excuse is that it's a cover. It's a cover for the stealth bomber. It's a cover for the fact that the military does experiment with aerodynamically novel forms of transport. And so those are the reasons why the military keeps it a secret and actually lies about these things. But now it's leaking out. Congress, the president of the United States, they're demanding these sightings to be declassified. So we physicists now are analyzing them to see whether or not they're really real or not.”

“I'm open to the possibility. 95% of the sightings we can explain using the known laws of physics. 5% are either optical illusions or they are evidence of visitation. You can't rule that out. So I'm open to the idea that maybe they're here. Now, President Trump has released the first mountain load of 160 encounters of alien technology, we think, but we haven't yet seen a close encounter of the second kind. When that happens, that's the game changer. When we have a piece of UFO hardware, that would nail it to the wall right there.”

“Well, there are three types of observations the close encounters of the first kind is when you see something in the sky looking at Close encounters of the second kind is when you have something tangible, an engine, a body, a wreckage of a UAP, that's second kind. Close encounters with the third kind is when you actually encounter them and shake their hand. Now where are we? We're at close encounters of the first kind where we see things floating in the sky, but we don't know what they are. We don't have anything tangible. Now in science fiction, we have captured the flying saucer. We have yet to see an alien in a laboratory we have yet to see an alien ship. In other words, people say I saw something. Now what does that mean? I'm a physicist, we go where the observation goes, and we have no observations to verify what you saw.”

“While gravity bends space all the time, the question is can you bend space enough so that he can go faster than the speed of light so you can visit the nearest star? That's a question mark. We physicists look at that, but we have no definite answer. But it's possible.”

“No, we are not alone because the galaxy has a hundred billion stars, of which maybe ten percent have planets that are earth like or similar to Earth, but the question is can they visit us? A Saturn five rocket would take seventy thousand years just to reach the nearest star hopskip and a jump seventy thousand years so a civilization that could reach the Earth would be hundreds, thousands of years more advanced than us. So I'm a physicist, we look at that space warps Is it possible that a flying saucer race could create a space warp so they could visit us?”

“Yeah, people think that physics is for egg heads, that it's just doing equations on a blackboard and totally divorced from the average person. They don't realize that everything about their life, about electricity, about magnetism, about the nucleophores, about industry, everything comes from physics. But the average person thinks that physics is for eggheads, it's for equations you put on a blackboard in a cartoon. Nope, it's everywhere.”

“Yeah, especially for people who are philosophical or religious, they want to know what is it all mean? I mean, where did I come from? Where is the universe going? They want to know the answer to the big questions, the question of meaning. And that's what we physicists do.”

“The physics of the future that as we physicists create the future we're the ones who understand what is possible, what is not possible, what is plausible? How does that affect the average person?”

“Gravity, light, the nuclear force, there are four fundamental forces of the universe. There's the gravitational force, which keeps us here, the electromagnetic force which lights up our whirl, and the two nuclear forces. We want a theory that explains all four.”

“An equation perhaps no more than one inch long that will allow us to quote, read the mind of God. These are Einstein's words the theory of the Big Bang, the theory of creation itself, the theory of everything.”

“I work in something called string theory, which we think is the theory that eluded Einstein for the last thirty years of his life, the theory of everything, the theory that explains the Big Bang, the formation of stars, galaxy, formation of the Earth, life. I'm a physicist working in the theory of everything.”

“I would look seriously at the possibility of emerging with them so that we don't have a civil war. Realize that we're at the edge of an eye. You tilt it the wrong way, and there's World War. You tilt it the other way, and there's food and luxury for everyone. And it's up to us to decide which way the knife will go.”

“Well, decade by decade, we see the enormous progress that we humans have made. For example, we'll probably be on the moon, maybe on to Mars, and also the artificial intelligence will help us secure cancer and many diseases. However, for the first time in human history, we have the potential of destroying ourselves with designer germs, nuclear weapons, perhaps artificial intelligence. Like this is a quantum computer. This is so powerful that even the CIA is worried about the fact that these could break into any known computer.”

“Yeah. In fact, we know that there's a clock in our body called the telomers that tracks how long we're going to live, and there's something called telomerase which stops the clock. Which means that we can live forever. That's the good news. But the bad news was we found out that cancer also uses telomers and telomerase to live forever. And so the question is, can we apply that to humans without waking up the cancers? But this is not science fiction. This is the future.”
