    I’m really glad we can finally have these conversations.
  • @dex4308
    Because of the expansion of space they are traveling the galaxy to find life and build warp gates that allow all civilizations to stay connected. No matter how much space expands. They are also here to get the recipe for the Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches and Taco Bell’s Baja Blast drink.
  • I recommend watching the entire interview. One of the most mind expanding discussions I have ever heard.
  • @TestTackle
    Maybe they've showing us their impressive technology as a means to inspire us. They're effectively destroying the notion that we have physics "figured out", which could quash our complacency with our current models
  • "My hypothesis is..." Bro this isn't something you have a hypothesis on its completely unhinged from any data you could possibly test, it's call a speculation and a pretty wild one tbh
  • @Age0fAwakening
    Panspermia Siblings makes the most sense out of every other theory i've heard.
  • UFO conversations are turning lately to be more serious, more intelligent and more people are opening to the possibility, this seems to be happening really fast.
  • @doughnutharvest
    Imagine if an alien came down to earth and had the same shirt as this guy
  • @MrRuffle
    Has anyone seen the story about the children in Zimbabwe that saw an alien craft and little people step out on ground at recess when all the teachers were inside and every interview of these kids is solid in their experiences. Hard to teach little kids to lie, especially as a large group. Just throwing that out there. Very interesting
  • @jerkweed1916
    Wow, What astounding, unique ideas! The potential "panspermia siblings" scenario having been seeded in a local stellar nursery feels like such a likely & reasonable possibility to me. Fascinating, groundbreaking & just plain fun to listen to! My hats off to both of you gentlemen, please continue shining an educated & creative light on topics like these! 👍
  • This is pretty brilliant. No matter if its right or wrong its a very intresting series of concepts.
  • @openmind2161
    I like the way this conversation headed ,bring that guy more ,he has some interesting perspective
  • @recursivefunk
    Great conversation. This is what removing the stigma allows us to do - have thoughtful conversations about possibilities.
  • @warrenreid6109
    I've never considered this possibility before. Very intriguing.
  • Their behavior reminds me of how wild life photographers or scientists integrate themselves on the edge of a pack so the pack doesn't find them threatening but still get to observe somewhat naturalistic behavior. This brings up the slight possibility that they might have been observing us for a long time and now just have gotten a little lazy to the brains back home and AI protocol hasn't changed yet.
  • @gfresh353
    You are inferring a bit too much from very little information we have. Your hypothesis is quite presumptuous. With that said, I like that you dare to explore these possibilities. I certainly would not have on my own. Keep exploring, I’ll listen. Thanks for sharing.
  • @duytdl
    This guy has set the bar pretty high for who should I listen to in regard to UFO/aliens.
