It triggered me so much (playful exaggeration) when they started talking about Occam's Razor. The simplest solution isn't necessarily the same thing as the gut reaction. It taking some research to prove doesn't immediately invalidate an argument. If it did Then the entire field of modern physics, which increasingly relies on more and more costly and time consuming experimentation, would be invalidated. In this case the simplest solution is actually going to be one of the more conventional ones. Why? The non conventional solution (aliens) relies on our current understanding of physics being massively incorrect. Rewriting all of physics to assume a particular outcome is almost never going to be the simplest solution ;P This is of course assuming that Occam's Razor arguments are always relevant to begin with (they aren't). Occam's razor is meant to be used as a tool to help people come to more accurate conclusions, but it isn't always going to give you the correct results. Famously Einstein spent a large part of his career in opposition to the entire field of quantum mechanics specifically because he found it too inelegant (not simple enough) of a solution. In the end though, the rigorous testing of many scientists over a century of research has pretty much proven quantum mechanics to be just as accurate as Einsteins own theories of gravity and relativity. However, as i pointed out at the beginning of this post, even if we assume Occam's razor is a valid argument in this case, it is actually an argument that leads us to a solution other than "it's aliens". None of this is to detract from those who believes aliens have visited us, this is really more a post to better explain the concept of Occam's Razor and how I personally feel they misused it here.
Wtf? How was I imagining and wanting an interview with someone from Kids in the Hall… then a few days later, Joe interviews Dave Foley?
1:27:37 Any engineer who's worked with feedback control systems knows that 'breaking lock' is a common, and all-too-frequent occurrence, because knowing all the possible inputs/data/scenarios that the system will ever be presented with — and all the possible internal states that your system will occupy when those inputs are applied — is near impossible . . . . and, even if you could know all possible conditions, it would take you more than a lifetime to simulate/test them to make sure the system doesn't 'breaking lock'. i.e., Breaking lock is common and inevitable.
Joe should get the Hodgetwins on the podcast.
