    Szydagis' point 3: Interstellar travel is too hard

    ...who think too deeply will realise that this workaround is possibly setting up a mass density high enough to create a black hole. Ooops. However, sometimes the magic is just good old-fashioned woo too, a salad of words with no clear meanings, rather than pretending to address the laws of physics.

    Preview of Luis Elizondo's UFO book: "Imminent"

    ...air molecules from in front to behind would be an alternative to your (and anyone sane's) "push the air in front of it away" - yay, more physics woo! Maybe the cavity can be maintained by emitting anti-matter! Oh, dear, that's a constant stream of way-worse-than-Nagasakis! The claims are...

    Claim: The Plasmoid Unification Model (PUM) of Malcolm Bendall provides "free energy".

    Wonky, poorly explained "physics", plus a myriad of other woo equals free money.... er, I mean free energy.

    Need debunking: Japanese researchers claim thousands of paper on vaccine side effects

    There is a society using that name: The Association for the Advancement of Restorative Medicine (AARM) is a non-profit medical association which supports cross-disciplinary learning and collaboration in the use of herbal, nutritional, and hormone medicines. AARM’s focus is on providing medical...

    House Oversight Hearing on UAPs - July 26, 2023

    I've read Davis' paper, and for three-quarters of it he gives a competent summary of the various speculations and hypotheses about wormholes in the scientific literature. The last third is all pure paranormal woo.

    Need debunking: Japanese researchers claim thousands of paper on vaccine side effects

    it's at least woo-adjacent What is Restorative Medicine? Restorative medicine is an umbrella term that encompasses all fields of medicine that work with the body's physiology and innate ability to heal in order to restore function and help prevent and treat diseases. These therapies may include...

    Claim: The Plasmoid Unification Model (PUM) of Malcolm Bendall provides "free energy".

    ...that in the currently available "educational" material provided by Mr. Bendell, it never mentions the word quantum. Why should it, Bendell has created a natural fusion reactor, who needs quantum mechanics? Or modern quantum woo, when he just uses old style pre-quantum mechanics Theosophic woo.

    Claim: UFO's May Be Stealth Aliens Living in Caves, on the Dark Side of the Moon or Alaska

    They don't have to be junk or predatory journals. There's a whole genre of climate change denial studies that get published in tangentially related journals on civil engineering, hydrology, facets of physics, or other related fields specifically of interest to engineers. The editors are amenable...

    Claim: Ancient Cultures inherited Structures and Artefacts from Pre-Historic Lost Civilizations with Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities

    Thanks! My favorite channels, are https://www.youtube.com/@WorldofAntiquity and another good one is https://www.youtube.com/@AncientArchitects. Both are 100% science backed and no chance for woo woo woooo

    Claim: The Plasmoid Unification Model (PUM) of Malcolm Bendall provides "free energy".

    they won't be kept from peddling woo by someone figuring out how the pyramids were built. In 1992,[39] Mark Lehner and stonemason Roger Hopkins conducted a three-week pyramid-building experiment for a NOVA television episode. They built a pyramid 6 metres (20 ft) high by 9 metres (30 ft) wide...

    Preview of Luis Elizondo's UFO book: "Imminent"

    ...the craft in its centre. And once that's happened, it's no longer in a cavity. Is simply makes no sense. Unless we're going full physics-woo... Let's hypothesise the "pressure" maintaining the vacuum could be purely from photons, pure energy. I propose the levels of energy required are...

    November 13 2024 Congress hearings

    My first thought when I saw Shellenberger as a witness was, why? He's just a journalist, that seems to have jumped on the Knapp, Howe and Coulthart UFO journalism bandwagon. Then I saw the post above with Gallaudet bitching about ARRO and the historical timeline. This is back to Shellenberger's...

    QAnon and Yoga Making Strange Connections

    Well, what effects did you expect mindfulness to have? (And you do get psychosomatic effects from there.) I don't think yoga necessarily crosses over into woo?

    Claim: Ancient Cultures inherited Structures and Artefacts from Pre-Historic Lost Civilizations with Advanced Manufacturing Capabilities

    I respect Matt Sibson (Ancient Architects) for admitting when he was wrong and crediting Egyptologists for being right, but he's been down the LAHT* rabbit hole and I don't know if he's made it all the way out yet. I think it's better to stick with World of Antiquity and Scientists Against Myths...

    The Congressional UAP Hearings Debrief

    The last mentioned, which is full of entertaining woo (thanks for that) gives the company affiliation of Baker, the lead author, as "Gravwave LLC", so it sounds as if he hopes to make a buck out of the gravitational wave business.

    Ross Coulthart

    Addressing @NorCal Dave and Coulthart's fascination with woo NorCal Dave said: Maybe in the past, but I think he has shown himself to be an ardent believer in various UFO conspiracies. In this tread, there is long interview with Coulthart about UFO cover ups and even includes his claim that...

    Claim: Fluctuations in Earth's magnetic field (geomagnetic storms) causes a myriad of different health problems.

    ...via: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/326501868_Possible_Biological_Mechanisms_Linking_Mental_Health_and_Heat-A_Contemplative_Review It seems like the person citing Mare has been infected with "it's all radiation, maaan!" woo.
