      Extreme power estimates collide with waste-heat limits

      “Even if you have a 0.1% inefficiency, that means that 0.1% of 1000 gigawatts is going to be leaking out in waste heat.”

      Relativistic travel trades short trips for decades on Earth Pro pick

      “For everybody in the galaxy, it takes 40 years. For the traveler, it takes less than two days.”

      A reported underwater object implies extraordinary speed Pro pick

      “they were followed by a large underwater object, which they measured to be 150 feet wide and 800 feet long.”

      A JAL radar analysis found jumps near 10,000 Gs

      “john callahan actually made copies of the radar data and kept them in a box under his desk”

      UFO brightness estimates depend on the assumed light pattern

      “you're looking at a power of 2,500 to 30,000 megawatts.”

    6. 17:54

      Knuth treats acceleration estimates as probability distributions

      “you can't actually estimate a systematic error because you would need to know what the true value is to estimate that”

      Oberth cited radar-measured UAP speeds in 1954

      “their speed is sometimes very high 19 kilometers a second has been measured with wireless measuring instruments radar”
      at 4:35
