A recent study proposes that advanced extraterrestrial beings might be engaged in sightseeing Earth’s significant landmarks. The research suggests that certain types of highly developed extraterrestrial entities‚ located at a considerable distance‚ could potentially identify buildings—but only those from around 3‚000 years ago‚ owing to the time it takes for light to traverse the vastness of the universe. The peer-reviewed paper‚ titled “Are we visible to advanced alien civilizations?‚” is featured in Acta Astronautica Journal Overview. Z.N. Osmanov‚ the author and a Research Affiliate at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) institute‚ posits that by leveraging the universality of the laws of physics‚ the maximum distance for potential detection is approximately 3‚000 light-years. This implies that extraterrestrial observers might utilize extensive telescopes to discern the architectural marvels of major civilizations from the past‚ including the Romans‚ Greeks‚ and Egyptians. In addressing the question of our visibility‚ the study categorizes the technological advancement level of an alien civilization‚ with a focus on those capable of fully harnessing the energy of their local star. It is hypothesized that there might be three major technological civilizations: Type-I is an alien society that consumes the total energy incident on a planet from their host star; Type-II is an extraterrestrial civilization utilizing the total energy of the star; and Type-III is an advanced alien society‚ that consumes the total galactic energy. The study reads: “In particular‚ the question is: can the artifacts of our technological society be visible and potentially detectable by the telescopes of ETs? “Since the question is to identify our society with civilization‚ the major focus should be on the search for large ships‚ buildings and space satellites‚ etc. Such artifacts might easily be identified as artificial constructions. “For this purpose‚ it is natural to focus on the visible light reflected from the corresponding objects. To identify an observed object with an artificial one‚ the best way is to spatially resolve it. Therefore‚ optical telescopes will be used.” Further suggestions for the potential observation are several alien telescopes working together or super-advanced computations. The study says: “Instead of using large telescopes of astronomical sizes‚ one can apply long-baseline optical interferometry by using at least two telescopes separated by a huge distance. “We have shown that Type-I‚ II‚ III advanced alien societies might use quantum computers based on artificial black holes‚ which are able to record the mentioned signals.” The post Aliens could be observing ancient civilizations on Earth appeared first on Anomalien.com.

Late-night comedians on broadcast TV mock Republicans far more than Democrats in their monologues -- about four to one in 2023 -- and bring more nastiness to Republicans. Democrat jokes are often gentle Johnny Carsonesque kidding about how Joe Biden’s really old. NBC’s Jimmy Fallon joked‚ “Biden made sure an authentic Thanksgiving meal was served‚ and he would know‚ because he was there for the first one.” ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel freaked out last week when legendary quarterback Aaron Rodgers mocked him on ESPN about new documents coming out in the teenager-sexploiting Jeffrey Epstein case. “A lot of people‚ including Jimmy Kimmel‚ are hoping that doesn’t come out.” Kimmel used his platform to rip Rodgers as an idiot jock who never graduated from college. (It didn’t matter that Kimmel himself quickly washed out of college.) It was eyebrow-raising when Kimmel argued Rodgers “has a very high opinion of himself. Because he had success on the football field‚ he believes himself to be an extraordinary being” who thinks “he’s smarter than everyone else.” Look in the mirror? Zero introspection from the national jokester. Kimmel pompously proclaimed in that lecture‚ “We say a lot of things on this show — we don’t make up lies. In fact‚ we have a team of people who work very hard to sift through the facts and reputable sources before I make a joke‚ and that’s an important distinction.” Seriously?? Let’s take a brief look at Kimmel’s poisonous oeuvre‚ just since his "reputable sources" boast: On January 12‚ Kimmel claimed the Escambia County schools in Florida are reviewing dictionaries and encyclopedias for content about sex. Could this be a tactic by liberal librarians trying to embarrass conservatives calling for taking smut out of school libraries? Kimmel said conservatives wage “a war against reading.” Factual? He then showed a picture of Gov. Ron DeSantis and said‚ “In case you were wondering‚ this is how one of the offending dictionaries defines sex: something this man is definitely not good at.” “People work very hard to sift through the reputable sources….” That’s ridiculous. By contrast‚ Kimmel's hero is Hunter Biden‚ whose ring he kissed on his show in 2021. On January 18‚ he joked Congress is so ineffective: “They've only passed 34 bills. So far‚ they've produced more photos of Hunter Biden's penis than actual legislation.” Factual? A week before on January 11‚ Kimmel gushed over Hunter’s stunt‚ showing up on Capitol Hill in an attempt to embarrass House Republicans.  "He wanted to do it [testify] on TV‚ presumably so we can see what a joke this is and they said no‚ no‚ we have to do it in secret so we can spin it however we like afterwards‚” reported Kimmel. “Instead they ended up looking like they were the ones on crack.” How many hours on Google for that one? On January 17‚ Kimmel mocked stupid white Republicans in Flyover Country: “In Iowa‚ many caucuses were held yesterday. If you've ever wondered what is the polar opposite of MLK Day‚ it is the Iowa Republican Caucus.”  Kimmel suggested the caucuses were loaded with election-denying white morons: “The same people who are screaming about the Dominion voting machines are digging through a brown paper sack from Stop &; Shop to decide who will be president. Then they drop all the names into a popcorn bucket. They find the baldest guy they can to count them aloud.”  There are no "Stop &; Shop" supermarkets in Iowa (it's New England-based). Hy-Vee is the big supermarket chain in Iowa. Only the lamest chuckleheads make chucklehead claims about their “factual” insults and “research-based” snark.

Sony's unveiling of the original PlayStation to the world was a magnificent moment in video game history. As the catalyst for Sony's rise to power in the video game world‚ this precious console was home to the beginning of many iconic franchises like Metal Gear Solid and Resident Evil. To say the least‚ it was a remarkable console with a perfect catalog to sink endless time into.

During this last holiday sale‚ I picked up LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga. It had always been on my radar‚ I've loved the LEGO tie-in games ever since getting my hands on a PS2 copy of LEGO Star Wars 2: The Original Trilogy‚ to the point I even went back to also buy and play LEGO Star Wars 1 not long after. Even with all the love Traveller's Tales gave the Star Wars IP in terms of callbacks and character selection‚ what won me over was the fresh gameplay and delivery.

Leia co-founder and CEO David Fattal‚ with his Red Hydrogen smartphone. A 200-person startup named after Star Wars’ Princess Leia may have quietly cornered the market on glasses-free 2D to 3D screens — after clawing its way back from one of the biggest gadget flops of the past decade. Remember the Red Hydrogen‚ the 3D phone that crashed and burned so hard its founder decided it was time to retire? Leia is the company that designed its “holographic” screen‚ and the company has been relatively quiet since that experience. Walking into its private hotel room suite at CES 2024 in Las Vegas‚ my expectations were not particularly high! So you can imagine my surprise to find five tables full of Acer‚ Asus‚ Dell‚ Lenovo and MSI products and prototypes‚ plus a brand-new 3D OLED phone — each featuring a eye-popping...
