Caltech astrophysicist fatally shot on porch of his rural SoCal home, where he studied the stars

An accomplished Caltech astrophysicist with more than four decades of research contributions in galactic astronomy and the study of distant planets...

Queima de arquivo ???

Probably found the goy laser

wtf? @Chris Liss you see this already or is this a 3rd murdered scientist?

@mleku 👀

👀

saw that, but who was the third?

Oh no, I thought I saw a post by you earlier about a second, and was wondering it this made 3 or if this was number two. Guess this is number two, sorry for confusion. Weird stuff... two top scientists from premiere schools murdered months apart. Definitely something is up. Your theory is a bit bold, but not so crazy in face of this

This is the second one ive seen as well. Alarming trend for sure.

The show / book series Three Body Problem (In remembrance of earths past) starts with a chain of murdered and suicided intellectuals. You later find out this is a result of a superior species trying to postpone human scientific advancements for its own ends. I doubt this is the case here but I cant help but connect the dots and assume someone doesnt want scientific progress to happen in nuclear and astronomical research

Yeah, they made a hit show a couple years ago (I didn't watch it, nor read the books, just saying). Chris Liss was speculating maybe there has been some covert advancements in physics, in contrast to the apparent stalling out of the field with aimless things like String Theory (his words, not mine), and these murders are some type of attempted cover up. It's out there, but I can't deny it's got a little appeal to me.

Yeah this is way up my alley, and I'll be keeping my ears to the floor...unfortunately a pattern gets exponentially easier to identify the more often it occurs.

The first murder, with that cold fusion guy was extra wild. I didn't realize for a few days it was THE SAME shooter from the Brown shooting days earlier. He'd gotten away, driven up to Boston a couple days later and shot the professor, then escaped yet again and was missing until a few days later a homeless guy found him suicided in a shed which he reported on Reddit. I think I got all the broad strokes right, and if that's not the most unlikely sequence of events, I don't know what is.

He also rented a car two days after he was suicided apparently. And yes, it's the Three-Body Problem that had that exact scenario only via an alien race. Good science fiction is indistinguishable from prophecy.

Well said. I dont think this is the case atm but im still gonna throw it out there. There is also a concept later in the series where the aliens achieve absolute and total surveillance of every aspect of humanity. The way humans combat this is with a program comprised of people who create plans to fight back against the aliens but without ever speaking or writing of their plans. The wallfacer program. I think in real life, ASI could force a similar scenario, and would also potentially have multiple incentives to shape / prevent human research endeavors I dont think anyone even has AGI yet but this is the kinda shit im looking out for.
