I kind of believe him, I don't see what benefit he would have to make it up

Are you aware that his he has said that they don’t have the evidence to ascertain origin and has speculated that they may not be from another planet but from another dimension?

With voyeuristic intentions?

Well secluded… they see all!

It's astounding.

No reason to think there aren't other dimensions, and if there are any there might as well be an infinite number, and surely in an infinite number of dimensions someone in at least one of them discovered how to travel between them.

I think you're confusing dimensions with parallel universes.

Dimensions are just coordinates needed for describing an object.

In practical physics, we have 4 dimensions, 3 to define an objects location (e.g. x, y, z) and 1 for it's moment in time.

[–] muddybulldog@mylemmy.win 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m not trying to be argumentative or even contrary. I was just legitimately curious if you were aware that some of the claims and speculation being made go WELL beyond the headline here.

[–] gabe@literature.cafe 2 points 1 year ago

Oh no, I didn’t think you were at all. I’m aware of what he believes and says and I think some of it is kind of plausible to me personally
