    And so it begins...

    Press Conference at ESO HQ to Announce Unprecedented Discovery

    http://spaceref.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=51674




    ESO will hold a press conference on 16 October 2017 at 16:00 CEST, at its Headquarters in Garching, Germany, to present groundbreaking observations of an astronomical phenomenon that has never been witnessed before.

    https://www.eso.org/public/announcements/ann17071/




    sounds like a big deal ?

    Either they found aliens or they are announcing that Gravity 2 will begin filming soon.

    From what I've seen, yes, he does believe everything he reads on the internet. One minute he thinks the earth is flat, next thing he is excited about some supposed finding beyond our flat reach.

    Lol

    Don’t forget, nothing is real. I’m not even posting right now. It’s a government coverup. This post is nothing but a Hollywood production. The coverup includes 20,000 people and none of them leaked out the coverup. That’s how good the government is.

    Foxx this is from the official ESO media center.
    btw I never said the earth is flat, and hopefully never will.
    I'm also quite adept at distinguishing fake news from real news,
    regardless of the source.

    The European Space Agency is being very tight-lipped about this
    discovery. We will wait until Monday. My only contact in space dealings
    has no idea what it is. He suspects they are hyping what will be another
    boring revelation about waves or such. Time will tell.

    The word is that it has something to do with gravitational waves.

    Most likely, but there should be something new about them, or the cause, or levels.
    David Livingston told me he would have a gravitational wave specialist on his show
    this week which I plan on listening to. http://www.thespaceshow.com/

    I don't think you use enough critical thinking sometimes for this to be true. Just one example, the post you made about the Vegas guy and his bags.

    Maybe your friend should recognize that players and institutions involved in what's basically a worldwide media event.

    His space dealings should give him a clue.

    Valet said he didn't have any crazy bags. Obviously the guns and ammo were not brought in bags.
    Don't start with Las Vegas. If you believe official story, you are a mushroom.

    It has nothing to do with the official story or what I believe, it's an isolated event of information spreading where you are not thinking very much.

    Back to this thread,

    So what begins?

    New scientific announcements? These same guys, LIGO and VIRGO just made a huge announcement not long ago, and they are doing it again with an ESO observation.

    They probably caught two neutron stars colliding. And ESO may have gotten a look.

    So what do you think is going to begin? More new discoveries in this day and age?

    That began long ago Snowy, long ago.

    If it's about superwaves that's big.
    Have you ever heard of galactic superwaves ?

    enough about crazy bags.

    Theses guys at LIGO and VIRGO, as far as I know, don't look at the galactic center too often so it's doubtful it's about charged particles heading our way from there.

    I doubt it's about charged particles at all.

    While the word "wave" is used, there is not much similarity between gravitational waves and "galactic waves." In fact, the difference is so big it's almost embarrassing.

    This announcement will likely be about a gravitational wave event that ESO was able to observe as well.

    Like I said, probably neutron stars colliding. Since something like 2015 we ushered in a new age of observational science that will bring significant never before seen results frequently. This is one of those times.

    What is this the beginning of? So what begins? You think they are phasing in the revelation about aliens? Maybe about the quantum field energy source taken from an alien craft?

    That's not what these scientists do, it's not their field.

    Now if the LIGO and VIRGO announcements are independent of ESO, there might something more intriguing to reveal.

    But as it stands, you'll have to be interested in some of the most groundbreaking scientific research there is or you might think it's just a "boring" announcement about gravitational waves.

    KVB you are such a calmtard.
    Do you think galactic superwaves are bunk ?
    I started the thread before it was mentioned to be about waves or neutron stars.
    The ESO sure does hype up the rhetoric.

    No, LIGO and VIRGO announced the press conference as well, before this thread was started.

    You just focused on ESO. In fact, I initially thought they were two separate announcements because they were both announced independently, before this thread. I almost chimed in as one of the first replies, but I wasn't sure if they were together or not.

    Charges particles coming through space are not "bunk" at all, but they have different causes.

    A "star quake" on the other side of the galaxy sent charge particles 10's of thousand of light years towards us.

    Let's just say it was a good thing we weren't closer to that event.

    The galactic superwave theory is not commonly accepted, I've heard Paul LaViolette
    talk about it many times. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=galactic+s...&t=ffsb&ia=web

    If you understand what they science that the individuals here do, you'd understand that there really wasn't that big of a mystery about what was being announced today.

    The mainstream consumers just ate it up when it was heralded as a never before seen event, which wasn't a lie, it hasn't been seen before.

    Expect more announcements in the very near future from these guys and others as a new scientific revolution takes place in astrophysics.

    I hate to invoke Tyson, but he nailed this thread down...
