re: Random thought after watching the movie Oppenheimer

Oppenheimer really just piggybacked on Einstein

Well, in terms of physics, we have reached the end of discovery.

You lost me with that self righteous prick. He’s damn sure smarter than I am, but it doesn’t take long to realize that he likes the sound of his own voice and will say whatever to keep himself relevant. I can’t remember his name, but I’m pretty sure some old action star is just as qualified as Tyson is.

Funny since that is how science and any area of discovery generally works. Shoulders of giants is a phrase that comes to mind.

Everything seems to have stagnated other than smaller electronics and computer science.

Yeah because we have made a lot less progress from 1950 - current times than what was made from 1949 - before.

Its just that what these people did opened the doors for more people to do great things. Today we all carry small devises around that allow us to do a bunch of shite. Just think about everything you can do with your smartphone.

Its a GPS, you can communicate multiple ways. If I need to set a time for an alarm, I just ask my phone to set my alarm at that time. You can read books with it. Play games. There is a compass, a magnified glass, you can use it to measure shite. Its a flash light.

I am just saying. We can do a lot more today no because we lack great minds.

If the government brought the world's top scientists together Monday morning, told them it was a matter of life or death and and gave them unlimited resources, I imagine we'd have some breakthroughs within a year or two.

Yeah, but Einstein was making Earth shattering discoveries long before the war. Physicist are still proving some of his theories that were impossible to prove during his own lifetime. In fact, Einstein refused to participate in the atomic war efforts.

Aerospace’s Secret Search For Antigravity (ft. Nick Cook) Jesse Michels 11K Likes 295,629 Views Sep 16 2024

Our incredible guest today is Nick Cook. In the 1990s, Cook was the aviation editor of Jane's Defence Weekly, the UK based international defense journal. He was also an aerospace consultant and contributor to the journal from 2002 to 2008. He's won awards from the Royal Aeronautical Society in the Defense, Business, Technology, and Propulsion categories and is the last thing from a UFO nut. But in the early 90's he stumbled across an article about Antigravity that would change his life forever. This interview covers his decade long exploration into the most secretive compartments of aviation history -- the quest for antigravity. It takes him from Nazi Germany, to a forgotten American inventor named Thomas Townsend Brown until more contemporary gravity researchers today.
