In 2008, I filmed a UFO on my old LG flip phone in South Wales - it was completely invisible to the naked eye, yet clearly visible on the phone screen. Around the same time, a South Wales police helicopter was forced to take evasive action to avoid colliding into a similar object. When the History Channel’s UFO Hunters team arrived to investigate, they interviewed me and took my raw footage. However, both my full interview and the actual footage were left out of the final episode. I believe this happened because I described the UAP as a "spiritual phenomenon" - what many now call interdimensional - instead of the space aliens they expected. After staying silent for many years, I’ve finally decided to share the full, uncut story... including the footage UFO Hunters didn't show you. Watch the video and tell me honestly - was this just normal TV editing... or did they deliberately bury a story that didn’t fit their narrative? #ufo #uap #nhi #interdimensional #nonhuman #extraterrestrial #ufohunters

I don't see how that's an unpopular opinion, it's actually an excellent question! For someone not well versed in the metaphysics of anything, I might say that since the universe means time and space, what caused it cannot be bound by time and space since it didn't exist yet. If we were to get into a little detail, I would say we could describe it as infinite (not limited by space because it didn't exist yet) and eternal (meaning time has not yet started). I would also say it must be a conscious interactor, because the effect always resembles the cause and we (the effect) are conscious interactors.

Unpopular opinion, but this is actually a good question. It is of course an atrocious argument if you understand what is meant by ”God”, but for someone not well versed in the metaphysics of Aristotle and Aquinas, it’s actually not something unreasonable to say.

I just explained it. Here's my preprint... zenodo.org/records/184964… The Hubble tension - the disagreement between early-universe (CMB-derived) Hubble constant H₀ ≈ 67 km/s/Mpc and local distance-ladder values ≈ 73-74 km/s/Mpc - has grown stronger with recent James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) observations. JWST's precise calibrations of Cepheid variables, Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB) stars, and Type Ia supernovae independently confirm the higher local expansion rate, pushing the discrepancy to even higher statistical significance. This follow-up note builds on my earlier proposal (Powell_3Torus_HubbleTension_2026) that a finite 3-torus (T³) topology - motivated by Thomas Buchert and collaborators' CMB analyses - can resolve the original tension without new physics. The key mechanism remains: the torus wavelength cutoff suppresses large-scale modes, biasing global CMB fits low when assuming an infinite universe, while local probes (on sub-torus scales) measure the undamped rate. JWST's reinforcement of the high local H₀ fits perfectly into this picture, treating it as the accurate, unaffected measurement. The strengthened tension thus becomes further evidence for finite topology rather than a crisis for ΛCDM.

James Webb just uncovered a serious problem with our understanding of the universe. New data from the James Webb Space Telescope confirms a major discrepancy in the universe's expansion rate, suggesting our current understanding of physics may be fundamentally incomplete. For years, astronomers have been caught in a tug-of-war over the "Hubble tension," a baffling disagreement between two methods of measuring how fast the universe is growing. While measurements of the early universe suggest one speed, observations of local stars suggest another. Many scientists hoped this gap was simply the result of measurement errors; however, new high-precision observations from the James Webb Space Telescope have now confirmed the discrepancy is undeniably real. By analyzing more than 1,000 pulsating stars across galaxies millions of light-years away, the telescope has validated previous findings and ruled out the possibility of technical glitches. This confirmation puts modern cosmology at a crossroads. If the math is right but the numbers do not match, it suggests that our standard model of the cosmos is missing a vital ingredient. This could mean the existence of unknown subatomic particles, a new form of dark energy, or a fundamental misunderstanding of how gravity behaves on a universal scale. As we continue to push the boundaries of space exploration, these results prove that the universe still guards secrets that may eventually force us to rewrite the textbooks on how reality itself is structured. source: Riess, A.

@SterlingCooley What tech is available for this?

This is wild, this is what happened to me, but with Ultrasound !!! University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers demonstrate that electrical stimulation near the vagus nerve induces out-of-body experiences (OBEs) identical to those during general anesthesia (April 2026). Mechanism: Pulses activate then disrupt the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ), integrating multisensory body signals for self-location and first-person perspective. Methodology: - Intraoperative application in epilepsy/tumor patients. - Parameters: 20-50 Hz, 1-3 mA, 5-30 s durations near cervical/brainstem vagus branches. - Monitoring: Real-time EEG/fMRI for TPJ activity; post-stim interviews for phenomenology. Results: - 82% of stimulations triggered OBEs: autoscopy, floating sensations, body detachment. - Neural signatures match anesthesia OBEs: TPJ theta desynchronization, vestibular mismatch. - Effects precisely titratable, fully reversible, no complications. At a Glance: Vagus-TPJ pathway reveals anesthesia's secret to dissolving self-boundaries, opening doors to precision neuromodulation for pain, PTSD, and altered states.

@martinmbauer Light doesn't travel and has no motion nor any speed. A thing is not a wave, but a wave is what the thing does. The question is... what's waving? I explore this in my paper EpiCosmology: An Exploration Of The Sentient Influence Over The Cosmos (linked via my profile).

We’re never 100% sure about anything, but there is nothing we're more sure about than that

The observer effect is creative synthesis - the visible sign that conscious interactor elements (causal origin → mediating angels → co-creator humans) have been built into reality from the start. Full article here: x.com/James_M_Powell… What do you think? 👇

The cosmos has been “groaning in travail,” awaiting its rightful owners and rulers who fulfil their true potential in love. Sentience may be interactors, but the central creative role has always belonged to human beings.

I recently read an excellent post about the observer effect: waves of possibility first, reality second. Interaction (not consciousness) filters the possibilities. The universe didn’t wait for humans to start “doing physics.” But what if the cosmos has always had conscious interactors - from the very beginning?

Thank you, brother.. it took me a while to realize this and I hadn't seen anyone else speak about it, but it's solid... that if the universe has existed forever then, because of the second law of thermodynamics, there shouldn't be any structure within or to the cosmos whatsoever, but we can all clearly see there is. Simple fix, really... seems to have slipped by many a scientist tho.

@James_M_Powell @Leophilius You sir, have spoken the actual truth.

We have not discovered that the Universe definitely had a beginning.

If the universe is eternal then it must have already traversed infinite time which means it would be in a state of maximum entropy. But the universe is observably not in a state of maximum entropy, because within it exists definite structure. So it cannot have traversed infinite time and therefore is not eternal, and so has a beginning. I wrote about this in my article on The Causal Origin of the Resultant Cosmos and Human Beings... there are only 4 ways in which the universe could have come into existence, regardless of which cosmological model you try to invoke.

"We've discovered the universe itself definitely had a beginning - we can no longer say it's that eternal self-existing thing!" Piers Morgan asks Stephen Meyer on what, if anything, existed before the universe began. 📺youtu.be/zBI8vU7vadY @piersmorgan | @StephenCMeyer

"Bio"photons were originally discovered in the 1920s by Russian embryologist Alexander Gurwitsch, who termed them "mitogenetic rays". However, the concept was re-discovered and scientifically established in the 1970s by German biophysicist Fritz-Albert Popp, who coined the term "biophotons" and proved they are weak light emissions from living tissue. I've written about them in my preprint - EpiCosmology: An Exploration Of The Sentient Influence Over The Cosmos (linked via my bio).

Scientists have discovered that living bodies emit an extremely faint form of visible light so subtle that it cannot be seen with the naked eye. Using highly sensitive imaging technology, researchers from the University of Calgary and Canada’s National Research Council were able to detect this phenomenon, known as ultraweak photon emission. To observe it, the team used advanced EMCCD cameras capable of capturing individual photons. They recorded light coming from living mice placed in complete darkness for about an hour. Afterward, they repeated the imaging once the mice had passed away while keeping their body temperature at 98.6°F (37°C). Maintaining the same temperature ensured that any changes in light emission were not related to heat. The results showed a clear difference. While alive, the mice released noticeably more visible photons from their skin. After death, the intensity of this light dropped dramatically, with only small amounts continuing to appear from internal organs such as the liver. Ultraweak photon emission occurs at extremely low levels roughly 10 to 1,000 photons per square centimeter per second. For context, even a very dim light bulb releases billions of photons in the same amount of time, which explains why this biological glow is invisible without specialized equipment. The light originates from normal cellular processes. As cells produce energy, they generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). When these molecules interact with lipids and proteins inside the body, they can create excited molecular states that release tiny flashes of visible light. Researchers also examined plants and noticed similar patterns. Leaves that were injured or chemically stressed produced stronger light signals, suggesting that the glow increases when organisms experience oxidative stress. Importantly, this phenomenon is different from body heat. Heat radiation from warm bodies mainly occurs in the infrared spectrum, whereas the photons detected in this study were in the visible range. Because this faint light is closely linked to metabolic activity and oxidative reactions inside cells, scientists believe it could eventually be used as a non-invasive way to monitor stress, disease, or the health of organs.

@GreggBraden I've followed your work for years Gregg, thank you. Here's what I'd speak about... EpiCosmology - An Exploration of the Sentient Influence Over the Cosmos. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19702827 zenodo.org/records/197028… Would love to learn your thoughts about it!

If you could step onto a stage and share one idea with the world, what would it be? Your passions, experiences, and wisdom all hold the power to inspire someone else. What would your TED talk topic be?

@elonmusk That's still malnutrition tho. It's not nutrition that causes obesity.

Yup
