Hey, this is my first post here and it’s a video our house cameras caught a few years ago. I live in central Texas so it was one of those mid summer days where there’s no wind or life or anything to make it worth living there, so it startled my brother and I pretty bad when we saw it slide pretty fast. I can’t think of any explanation and my best offer is that my dad committed on the property in 2012. Anyways, sorry for the yap.
It appears something rushes at my dad and his dog but disappears after my dad never saw or experienced anything and the dog did not react just find it strange.
In his Dark Matter, Dark Energy Great Courses lecture 4 Sean Carroll mentions that it is possible to assume all length scales are shrinking rather than space expanding although he says making such an assumption is silly.
I was wondering if one could test the hypothesis with a tabletop experiment comprising a pair of charged masses on a frictionless track such that their gravitational attraction is balanced by their electrical repulsion.
The force balance equation is given by:
G M² / R² = Q² / 4 π ε₀ R².
If we assume natural units such that ℏ = c = 4 π ε₀ = 1 and Newton’s constant G = 1 / Mₚₗ² then the separation distance R drops out so that the balance equation simply becomes
M / Mₚₗ = Q.
If the masses of all fundamental particles, together with the Planck mass, scale inversely with their Compton wavelengths then the balance equation is satisfied for all R even as length scale shrinks. The charge Q is dimensionless in natural units.
Thus the separation distance R is a free initial condition, not set by any formula, and therefore can be used as an absolute yardstick to compare against physical clocks and rulers.
Hi did anyone record the section with Jonathan Caplan as guest?
The youtube catch up does not have the whole discussion.
Could someone take a video of the screen showing the whole discussion and make it available somehow?
Grant Cameron interviews Allene and Lucile, daughters of Reverend Turner Holt, who was shown alien bodies and the wreckage of a craft in 1935 in the sub-basement of the Capitol building in Washington by his relative Cordell Hull, Secretary of State under Roosevelt.

Allene says that her father traveled to Washington in 1935 to attend a conference of Protestant ministers representing all denominations from across the country. She confirmed that she had letters from her father in Washington dated that year.
Lucile speculates that the government may have believed there was a possibility of an alien invasion and that religious leaders were being briefed about the potential threat so they could help reassure and calm the public if such an event occurred.
It is interesting to note that, in 1938, Orson Welles produced his famous radio adaptation of The War of the Worlds, which many listeners reportedly mistook for a genuine news broadcast about an alien invasion. Could this have been a test to gauge how the public might react if such a message were ever presented as real?
The OP claims the back of the chair was not tall enough for it to be resting on the side of the table.
I was on a break, sitting in the break room alone, and the chair in front of me got inexplicably pulled, I tried to see if it slipped off of the desk corner, but the chair isn’t tall enough to rest on the desk, my feet weren’t moving, and it wasn’t resting on anything. Anyone who could explain it or debunk would be very helpful, thank you.
From my understanding, it was the official body cam footage that was uploaded and you can clearly hear the laugh of a young girl when the officer is in the bedroom closet, among other things
Has the video ever been proven to have been manipulated or staged? Or has anyone ever found a plausible explanation for the laugh?
I know some of the leading theories was the officer unknowingly stepping on a toy or doll that made the laugh
Here is the full video for anyone who hasn’t seen it,
Good documentary series on close encounters
Assuming this incident is not a hoax involving an invisible thread, how does a skeptic explain how a bottle at the back of a shelf gets pushed out on to the floor?
First off, here is the link https://youtu.be/1LG-wAdT904?is=IWo9HI1SwXtLyDmI
And here are the time stamps 0:13, 3:10, and 5:18.
All I know is that whatever it is says the same thing at every time stamp. Also, I watched a couple different uploads of the video, and the voice is on all of them at the same place in all videos. I don't know what it is, however, it sounds exactly like an EVP on every ghost hunting tv show I ever watched. It's out of place, I could not determine if it was in the fairground or background. For a second I thought it was from a Starbucks employee in the background because the video makes a reference to the employee at just about the same time as the 3:10 voice is heard, but no it wasn't that. Plus it's on two other places on the video without that employee anywhere near them and it sounds wierd, like there is no depth to voice, and again the same voice can be heard from different uploader. Anyway maybe it's all just an elaborate hoax. What do you think it is?
In Coulomb gauge:
∇·A = 0.
Scalar potential:
∇²φ = −ρ/ε₀.
Vector potential:
(∇² − (1/c²)∂²/∂t²)A = −μ₀ J_T.
The total current density J is the sum of the longitudinal J_L and transverse J_T components
J = J_L + J_T,
J_L = ε₀∇(∂φ/∂t),
J_T = J - J_L.
The fields are recovered from
E = −∇φ − ∂A/∂t,
B = ∇×A.
Is J_T a local field defined in the region of the source whereas J and J_L are non-local throughout space?
In Coulomb gauge
∇⋅A = 0.
The scalar potential φ obeys the instantaneous Poisson's equation
∇^(2)φ = - ρ / ε₀.
The vector potential A obeys the causal wave equation
∇²A − (1/c²) ∂²A/∂t² = −μ₀ Jₜ
where the transverse current Jₜ is given by
Jₜ = J − ε₀∇(∂φ/∂t).
The electric and magnetic fields are given by
E = −∇φ − ∂A/∂t,
B = ∇×A.
The electric field is made up of an instantaneous longitudinal piece −∇φ and a causal transverse piece −∂A/∂t.
Doesn't the instantaneous longitudinal piece −∇φ violate causality allowing signals to be sent faster than light?
People say that the instantaneous −∇φ term is cancelled out by an instantaneous component of the −∂A/∂t term leaving a fully causal total electric field E.
I don't see how that can happen as the magnetic potential A is completely determined by a causal wave equation so that it is entirely causal.
Consider an electric dipole p = qd at the origin.
The magnitude of the electric field at a distance r from the origin goes like
E ~ p / r^3.
If one reduces the separation d to zero so that the +q and -q charges coincide at the origin then by Gauss’s law and spherical symmetry the net electric field becomes zero everywhere instantaneously.
Does this disobey causality?
Saugus train station was moved from Saugus, California in 1980 to its new location, a couple of miles away, inside the William S. Hart Park. Brandon Alves and Joey West of the American Paranormal Research Association (2006 onwards) caught an EVP of a male ticket clerk, a woman asking a question (very clear) and a man answering, along with the noise of a train, from the second floor of the station building in its new location.
This is what I hear (click or tap to reveal)
Ticket clerk: >!That’s three dollars please (clunk)!<
Woman: >!Will that be our train?!<
Man: >!That’s certainly like ours, yeah!<
Does this give some credence to the "stone tape" theory that some ghost phenomena are recorded in the structure of the buildings themselves?
