It's time for physicists to step out of the shadows and talk about the nature of the reality we live in. Scientists need to be on the team as do anthropologists, historians, sociologists, and philosophers. Who and what we are still the big unananwered questions.
UAP's demonstrate that the perameters are far wider than we ever thought. Our advances in science and technology have brought us to the brink of grasping a much larger theoretical understanding of that question.
While it has little relevance to sustaining the needs of our biological bodies and its survival, it will greatly change the nature of our beliefs and our civilization.
Having the time to come to that understanding of course, depends on whether or not we manage to survive the devastating effects of climate change.
All questions I think about daily as I write my five part science fiction/fantasy book series, and watch with tremendous sadness as the made-in-America disaster unfolds in Afghanistan. The Taliban are something out of our medieval past and as far from UAP's and advanced human and extra-planetary civilization as one could get. Or are they?
