Wow, what a fascinating n interesting interview, a lot better than the other 1 where it's only 1 hr. n they waste 10 mins. at the top talking about unrelated things.
All of the things that jim mentioned about UFOs and more r easily explained by anti-grav propuslion, their disappearing, their motions, their apparent shape changes, the EM effects, the colour changes. Also, witnesses who do not see the event is explained by the ufonauts shutting off that witness's mind.
He touches also on the principle of binary opposites. This is a metaphysical fundamental, u can't have hot without cold n vice-versa, good without bad n vice versa, right without left n vice-versa, ad infinitum. It is just 1 reason why the Big Bang is necessarily false--u can't have a future without a past n vice versa, and the present is always in between. Also, like many people, jim uses "metaphysics" to mean the paranormal, but neither has anythng to do with the other. Metaphysics is a branch of philosophy n I have a certificate in it (from the ISP).
Extra dimensions not required in string theory, wow, that's a revelation. I had long maintained string theory to be false because it required extra dimensions as these r not possible, but now it can be possible n is a plausible theory, although it is not yet proven. Supersymmetry is not proven either but is also a plausible theory. Both have error correction codes embedded in the equations. This is significant because, altho the equations rman made, they come from nature.
He says that everything is inf. as does Tom Campbell, but it can also be seen as mind. Inf. is knowledge which is intelligence which is consciuosness which is mind. Also, all energy is really kinetic n motion itself is a mental construct. When we see an object move all we're seeing is the object, the motion is in our minds, but the object itself is motion because matter is really condensed energy. And space n time are also mental constructs that exist only because of motion n objects. So everything is mind. It's part of metaphysics. And this is how the real universe would be also. So the mental feats the interviewer was talking about near the end could also be done outside of a simulation. And the simulation question is purely intellectual--it has no practical aspects.
There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
