Which would you say you've seen or noticed more of (identifiable vs unidentifiable)? Have you tried deducing/tracking down exactly what you saw? There's a couple websites out there that help you check overhead air traffic like https://www.flightradar24.com/ or https://flightaware.com/ Last edited by gold stinger; 12-22-2020 at 07:58 PM.. |

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
No comment. UFO-ology is one of many pseudo sciences, and the information about it is difficult to obtain, or find very easily, due to the nature of it. But yes, they are alien aircraft.

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
I mean, I'm just asking regarding what you've personally experienced, not what UFO-ology has to say about it as a whole. Like sure, if that's your belief then by all means stick to your guns on it. No qualms about that. Just hard to accept & albeit a little annoying to 'probe' (haha ufo joke) for truth or perspective on the subject when you do get a chance to ask questions about a worldview that you don't necessarily share and get shut down.

Re: gold stinger
Sure gold stinger.
I've had 4 UFO experiences of notability.
UFO-ology is basically just all the collected stories like this from folks. No one is seeing UFOs with any amount of regularity. Last edited by Travis_Flesher; 12-22-2020 at 08:40 PM.. |

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
I didn't say this thread is horrible. I said that it was a terrible critical thinking thread. As in, it doesn't deserve critical thinking status.

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
Personally, I see potential in this being a good critical thinking thread, provided that we don't treat this as a 'chitchat' thread and try to elaborate our reasoning behind the simple statements we say in here.
Even though theories aren't necessarily provable or verifiable, they do provide good opportunities for discussion on specific topics and possibly even further everyone's knowledge and depth of thought on them. Instead of thinking alone, we could get multiple people to think of one thing and come up with more substantiated ideas. Isn't this a good chance to learn more? Of course, we could only do that as long as the reasoning behind our theories is logical or reasonable. I'm sure everyone's got something good to share! |

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
I could talk weird theories all day, but I get tired of doing all the talking.
I just wanna kick back, relax and read some theories.

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
Theories that lack empirical evidence are little more than wishful thinking. Sure they might be interesting what-ifs but I find a lot of unnecessary energy is wasted trying to validate ridiculous claims for the sake of some personal satisfaction (religion being a good example).
The adage "extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence" is good to keep in mind here. If a theory is considered "weird" then it would fall into the extraordinary category and to echo goldstinger, really wouldn't be worth talking about unless there are enough supporting facts to consider and talk about. Every example given in this thread so far has been pure conjecturing. |

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
4 dimensional objects cast 3 dimensional shadows
ghosts are shadows of 4 dimensional people aka dead people/people who haven't been born yet

Even then, I still think there are good theories to talk about. Not all 'weird' theories have to imply extraordinary/religious stuff. We could be talking about our theories based on our observations on things happening around us, especially politics. For example, one could discuss about the seemingly terrible things presidents or some nations do, and give reasons as to why that's done. And even if we were to purely talk about (mostly) baseless conjecture, I still find this a good and fun way to learn to think better about certain topics. There might be points one has neglected to evaluate, or perhaps through discussions, one might find out that their reasoning is very biased. Too often nowadays do people just present one side of the story without considering the full picture, and we end up with people who blindly side with a certain party or group. Even I make this mistake sometimes. To sum up what I think of this thread, I consider it not just as a chitchat thread, but also as a chance to develop critical thinking skills and talk about theories that might have some ground to them. This could become a good critical thinking thread if we treat it as one. Last edited by Andrew WCY; 12-24-2020 at 12:09 AM.. Reason: Fix formatting issues |

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
itt we rediscovered reincarnation and biodegradation?
this isn't anything particularly new but i'm guessing anyone who can "see in 4D" would need some noise-filtering mechanism as well, or observation of the fourth dimension would need some recency or understanding bias so one's vision doesn't just swim in continuous lines. i think it's easy to argue either of those biases would make sense because of the problem of our brains holding limited information, at least, and what flashflash says about shadows would mean there are still observables to find where something currently is there was an xkcd about movie character interaction graphs, and i'm wondering if a book in "4D" would want some accompaniment like that, if it has any visual reference |

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
I've always wondered about if the life we're living now is just a memory of the life we just passed away from and we're already deceased.

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
World Conspiracy theory is still actual for me, I think that all these events are planned and scheduled and I read them like an open book

Re: Weird Theories about everything.
I have this theory that donuts and bagels are from alternate dimension parallel from eachother and have some how ended up in the current one they reside now as they gaze at each other from across a distance before their life's mission is full filled with cream
