    Retro SciFi Film of the Week…

    The Twilight Zone, To Serve Man (1962)

    A lot of people rate this episode as one of their favorite Twilight Zone episodes. It's about a first contact with an alien species that comes to Earth. I recently found out that this was based on a short story of the same name written by Damon Knight a dozen years earlier and it pretty much follows very closely to that story, accept in the short story the aliens are humanoid pigs while in the Twilight Zone episode they're just tall, 350-pound humanoids called Kanimits.

    The Kanimits don’t talk like humans, they use a voice synthesizer. They promise the people of Earth that they will share their advanced technology with humans for the betterment of humanity. But people are skeptical and they give the alien representative a lie detector test which the alien passes.

    This episode is highly recommended.

    Accessible video description:

    a black and white video of one of the aliens who is seated with wires hooked up to him taking a lie detector test, the alien is dressed in a white robe and has a large, bald head with dark circles under his eyes, two humans are in the room operating the equipment which shows the needles of the chart recorder on a polygraph machine.

    (fair use clip from the episode in which the alien demonstrates how to pass a polygraph test.)

    The Pilgrims were illegal immigrants, but the Americans still used them as farm workers to pick corn.

  15. #TruthBeTold #time #day #solstice #astronomy #sidereal #ISS #relativity

    The truth is...

    A day is 24 hours long, plus or minus about 20-30 seconds. However, during the winter the days get longer. At the winter solstice the days are the shortest.

    But the southern hemisphere is different. In the southern hemisphere the days are nearly always 24 hours (+/- about half a minute).

    And on the equator it gets really weird, because a sidereal day on the equator is only about 23 hours, 56 minutes year-round. And at the north and south poles, occasional the day is a second longer (leap second), due to climate change, among other reasons.

    In space, astronauts experience time differently because they are in an area of lower gravity due to general relativity. For example, the International Space Station experiences 16 sunrises and sunsets per Earth day.

    In areas where there is daylight saving time, on the day those areas enter daylight saving time the day is 23 hours, and when it switches back to standard time it’s 25 hours. These short and long days only occur in the areas where there is daylight saving time which you’d think would cause massive geological strain on the Earth’s crust and upper mantle, but for some reason it doesn’t.

    The Inflationary Epoch is a supposed brief period occurring shortly after the beginning of the Big Bang during which the universe rapidly expanded. However, cosmetologists have absolutely no theories whatsoever to explain why it happened, how long it took, or where the theory originated. They also have no intention to attempt to measure the B-mode polarization of the Cosmic Microwave Background radiation in order to provide observations to support the theory.

    #TruthBeTold

    The truth is…

    Press Secretary Jen Psaki became infected with COVID-19 because she didn’t wear an N95 respirator.

    Psaki doesn’t wear a respirator when she gives her press briefings to the White House correspondents.

    According to the CDC, none of the White House correspondents who were infected by Psaki are considered close contacts.

    (In epidemiology, a “close contact” is anyone who was close enough to an infected person to possibly become infected themselves. It’s used for contact tracing to locate people who may have become infected to help prevent further spread of disease, among other things.)
