Some Tech Execs Want to Find a UFO and Reverse-Engineer it For The Betterment of Mankind
Or so says Business Insider
--
There are some technologists who are fascinated with UFOs and what they could mean for technology here on Earth. And now these tech execs may get their chance.
Vice interviewed three tech executives willing to admit their fascination with UFOs for the piece. The article says that admitting an interest in hypothetical alien spacecraft is “still a pretty taboo subject” in the tech industry, and that many investors are unwilling to support related ventures because there is “no guarantee of payoff.” (Emphasis by author)
Say what? Someone doesn’t want to do something that could benefit humanity because they have no guaranteed ROI? Nooooooo.
Who else is interested in this technology and all of its possibilities? I mean, besides all the world’s superpowers, that is.
Deep Prasad, CEO of Canadian quantum computing startup ReactiveQ, and Rizwan Virk, executive director of Play Labs at MIT, just to name two.
According to the IMDb site, the TV series UFO Hunters did an episode on Reverse Engineering. Here’s the synopsis of that episode.
- Reverse engineering is a common practice used by private industry and the government as a means to keep up with or surpass the competition. Has the US military derived various forms of technology, including stealth technology, from downed UFOs? Are we competing with extra-terrestrial beings using their downed craft as the genesis for advances in modern technology? Follow a team from UFO magazine as they investigate the possibility that the technology providing us with fiber optics, night vision, and the microchip, just to name a few, were derived from wreckage obtained from Roswell and other UFO crash sites.
Stealth technology? Fiber optics? Night vision? Microchips? Transistor radios?
Wait. What?
The transistor radio was released in December 1947. Does 1947 sound familiar to you?
