Kevin Knuth -- Neon Galactic -- Episode 26

On this episode of Neon Galactic, we talk with Professor Kevin Knuth from SUNY Albany, a physics professor who has worked diligently in recent years to elevate the study of UAPs and do real science on a subject that still comes with significant stigma in academic circles. Knuth is a member of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies, a founder of UAPx, and editor of the peer-reviewed journal, Entropy. His expertise are broad, after two decades in machine learning as it relates to astrophysics, as well as Bayesian Probability Theory, Information Theory, robotics, signal processing, neuroscience, Nonlinear Dynamics, and Quantum Mechanics, among other areas. He also received a grant from NASA to study exoplanets. In this conversation, we discuss his frustration with the behavior of the federal government on UAPs, and how its behavior demonstrates a remarkable degree of ineptitude. Knuth believes it incompetence rather than conspiracy, yet also says in this interview that he believes there is a dark side to this story, an element that may well have convinced some in the government that it's better to keep the secrets. Our collective frustration underlines the point that organizations like SCU, UAPx, the Galileo Project, and others, need to do their own science and ultimately take government secrecy out of the picture. In several UAP briefings that Knuth has given to congressional figures, he said they asked about equipment that can detect UAPs (USOs) in the ocean. That, he suspects, may be a major part of the story. Knuth, whose early work involved neuroimaging and brain research, also discusses the role of consciousness in the UAP phenomenon. What has been called high strangeness may, he posits, be merely mechanisms of nature that we don't yet understand, which other civilizations may well have mastered. Knuth made the point repeatedly that science as an institution needs to have more humility in its proclamations on the nature of things. When 85 percent of our universe remains unidentified, and consists of material we can't interact with, we know very little at all.
