Podcast appearances and mentions of david spergel

Like most kids growing up in Ottawa during the late 80s, I was captivated by the mysteries of the skies. Whether it was watching The Christmas Martian that bizarre French Canadian film with an alien who looked like it raided a bargain bin for its costume or devouring every UFO book I could get my hands on, I was hooked. Those crisp winter nights, bundled against the cold and staring at the stars, turned my curiosity into a lifelong fascination with the unexplained. Now, as I watch reports of massive six-foot drones appearing nightly over New Jersey since late November 2024, those childhood mysteries feel more relevant than ever. The situation has evolved from curiosity to crisis. Through 2023 and 2024, a series of congressional hearings thrust UAPs once simply called UFOs into mainstream discourse. But why the name change? Is it a bid to rebrand the phenomenon, shedding its tabloid associations for a more scientific veneer? Or perhaps it's an attempt to obscure the familiarity of the term, sidestepping decades of public skepticism and intrigue. Whatever the reason, these recent drone sightings over New Jersey's Picatinny Arsenal and other sensitive sites have sparked unprecedented action. The FAA's implementation of temporary flight restrictions across 23 New Jersey cities until January 17th, followed by similar bans in 29 New York locations, shows how seriously officials are taking these incidents. We're not just telling stories around campfires anymore we're watching nations scramble to understand phenomena that challenge our fundamental assumptions about what's possible in our skies. How Nations Chase the Unknown Japan's 2020 Defense Ministry guidelines for UAP reporting marked a turning point. As Dr. Gallaudet's testimony confirms, their coordination with U.S. forces in the Pacific demonstrates how seriously they're taking these incidents. What started as scattered reports has evolved into formal protocols for tracking and investigating unexplained phenomena in some of the world's busiest airspace. France stands unique with GEIPAN, their space agency's dedicated UAP research unit. While other nations played catch-up, French researchers methodically built what's likely the most comprehensive public database of atmospheric anomalies. They're not hunting aliens they're documenting patterns and seeking natural explanations for the truly puzzling cases. Brazil's transparency offers a compelling model. Their Air Force's declassification of 1980s UFO files included the documented "Night of the UFOs" on May 19, 1986 a case where multiple aircraft over São Paulo encountered objects that disrupted air traffic. While questions remain unanswered, Brazil's willingness to release primary sources sets a standard other nations could follow. China and Russia view UAPs through the prism of technological and military rivalry. While both nations maintain official research programs, details remain classified, making international cooperation nearly impossible. Their approach reflects broader concerns about technological superiority and national security implications of these phenomena. Science Steps Up: Breaking New Ground October 2023 marked a watershed moment when NASA released its first public report on UAPs. The space agency's findings, while not confirming extraterrestrial origins, legitimized scientific study of these phenomena. NASA Administrator Bill Nelson's briefing emphasized the need for better data collection methods, acknowledging that current space and atmospheric monitoring systems might miss crucial details. The 16-member NASA panel, led by astrophysicist David Spergel, called for rigorous scientific methods in UAP research. Their recommendation for multi-sensor approaches combining optical, infrared, and radar data - could help distinguish between natural phenomena, human-made objects, and truly unexplained occurrences. Harvard University's Galileo Project and other academic initiatives are now pioneering open scientific r...

This brain trust of SETI experts was hosted in February of 2020, back when live, in-studio conversations happened, and discussions of alien artifacts and UAPs was fringe science. The discussion includes James Benford's strategy for finding ETI artifacts and a proposition for both passive and active observations by optical and radio listening, radar imaging and launching probes. A debate on the implications of our own technosignatures. And what if we find nothing? A profound result: suggesting that, perhaps, no ET intelligence has yet come to look at Earth, or perhaps other civilizations are simply not as curious as we, good at concealing their activities, or simply lost to deep time. Many of the topics covered have now become mainstream science! The Director of National Intelligence has just released the second Annual Report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon. NASA has commissioned an independent study on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAPs) led by Professor Keating's friend and colleague, Former chair of Princeton's astrophysics department, and President of the Simons Foundation, David Spergel. https://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-to-set-up-independent-study-on-unidentified-anomalous-phenomena/ And of course, our friend, Harvard Astronomy Professor Avi Loeb's Galileo Project for the Systematic Scientific Search for Evidence of Extraterrestrial Technological Artifacts ( https://projects.iq.harvard.edu/galileo/home ).

NASA is launching a study of UFOs as part of a new push toward high-risk, high-impact science. The space agency announced that it's setting up an independent team to see how much information is publicly available on the matter and how much more is needed to understand the unexplained sightings. The experts will also consider how best to use all this information in the future. NASA's science mission chief, Thomas Zurbuchen acknowledged the traditional scientific community may see NASA as “kind of selling out” by venturing into the controversial topic, but he strongly disagrees. “We are not shying away from reputational risk,” Zurbuchen said during a National Academy of Sciences webcast. “Our strong belief is that the biggest challenge of these phenomena is that it's a data-poor field.” NASA considers this a first step in trying to explain mysterious sightings in the sky known as UAPs, or unidentified aerial phenomena. The study will begin this fall and last nine months, costing no more than $100,000. It will be entirely open, with no classified military data used. NASA said the team will be led by astrophysicist David Spergel, president of the Simons Foundation for advancing scientific research. In a news conference, Spergel said the only preconceived notion going into the study is that the UAPs will likely have multiple explanations. “We have to approach all these questions with a sense of humility," Spergel said. “I spent most of my career as a cosmologist. I can tell you we don't know what makes up 95% of the universe. So there are things we don't understand." This article was provided by The Associated Press.

El día de ayer la NASA anunció la creación de un grupo de investigadores independientes los cuales estudiarán las visualizaciones de fenómenos aéreos no identificados, que es el nombre actualizado para los OVNIs. El objetivo es el estudio del registro de estos fenómenos desde una perspectiva científica.El equipo será liderado por el astrofísico David Spergel. Esta noticia viene años después de revelaciones del New York Times de que el Pentágono tenía un Programa de Identificación de Amenazas Aeroespaciales Avanzadas, el cual supuestamente investigaba los reportes de OVNIs, digo, de FANIs hechos por pilotos militares. La NASA espera que el grupo de estudio tome 9 meses para elaborar un reporte.Para esta y más noticias, busca el podcast de Noticias de Tecnología Express en Spotify, Apple Podcast, Acast y YouTube.

Bonjour à tous et bienvenue dans le ZD Tech, le podcast quotidien de la rédaction de ZDNet. Je m'appelle Clarisse Treilles, et aujourd'hui je vous parle de la mission de la NASA consacrée à l'étude des OVNI.  Ils planent, changent de direction à une vitesse vertigineuse, et pourtant ce ne sont ni des avions, ni des drones. Ce phénomène aérien est toujours un sujet de fascination. Rien que l'an dernier, 140 objets volants non identifiés ont été observés dans le ciel américain. Après le renseignement américain, c'est au tour de la NASA de s'attaquer à ce mystère, en recourant à l'analyse massive de données. L'agence spatiale américaine va mettre sur pied à l'automne une étude inédite sur les OVNI. Elle sera pilotée par l'astrophysicien David Spergel, ancien président du département d'astrophysique de l'Université de Princeton.  Dotée d'un budget de 100 000 dollars, l'étude aura pour objectif d'analyser pendant 9 mois toutes les données vidéo disponibles ainsi que les témoignages recueillis jusqu'à présent. La NASA mettra à profit sa capacité de croiser les données déjà existantes avec les connaissances scientifiques. L'étude se concentrera aussi sur la meilleure façon de collecter les données futures et la manière d'étudier comment la NASA peut utiliser ces données pour faire avancer la compréhension scientifique. Certains des plus grands scientifiques, experts en aéronautique et spécialistes des données américains vont participer à l'étude. A travers cette étude, la NASA espère examiner l'impact des OVNI sur la sécurité nationale et la sûreté aérienne A défaut de satisfaire les fans de science fiction, la NASA n'entend pas prouver l'existence des “petits hommes verts”. Car selon l'agence spatiale, rien n'indique pour le moment que les OVNI sont d'origine extra-terrestre.  Et voilà, normalement on a fait le tour du sujet.

Reserve Bank of India, the country's central bank has proposed allowing integration between India's Unified Payments Interface and credit cards, TechCrunch reports. “UPI facilitates transactions by linking savings or current accounts through users' debit cards. It is now proposed to allow linking of credit cards on the UPI platform,” Shaktikanta Das, the governor of Reserve Bank of India said at a briefing, according to TechCrunch. To begin with, the RuPay credit cards will be linked to UPI, he said. RuPay is India's homegrown card network, which is promoted by the National Payments Corporation of India, a special body of RBI that also oversees UPI payments. Infosys has won a contract from TK Elevator that expands the Indian IT services giant's engagement with the German maker of lifts, the company said in a press release yesterday. The seven-year contract involves providing AI-powered IT helpdesk services, digital workplace management, and network services, using automation solutions from Infosys Cobalt, the company's suite of cloud technologies, products and services. NASA is putting together an independent team of researchers to study sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs, the updated term now used to refer to UFOs, the American space agency said in a blog post yesterday. NASA says it plans to study these sightings from a scientific perspective but also stressed that “there is no evidence UAPs are extraterrestrial in origin,” The Verge reports. The study team is to be led by astrophysicist David Spergel under NASA's Science Mission Directorate. It will attempt to identify what data is out there on UAPs and figure out how to best capture data on UAPs in the future. NASA noted that the limitations in sightings make it hard to come to logical conclusions about where UAPs come from. The study will be open and unclassified, according to Thomas Zurbuchen, the associate administrator for science at NASA, according to The Verge. SolarSquare, a Mumbai-based startup, has raised $4 million led by Google Capital, with participation from US investor Chris Sacca's Lowercarbon Capital, Singapore based Symphony Asia and Nithin Kamath's Rainmatter Foundation. The round also saw participation from Better Capital, Climate Angels and several angel investors. This investment mark's the $1 billion Lowercarbon Capital's first Indian investment, according to SolarSquare's press release. SolarSquare was founded in 2015 by Neeraj Jain and Nikhil Nahar, and Shreya Mishra joined them as co-founder. The company, originally started as a B2B solar venture, is rapidly expanding its B2C operations, and the fresh funds will help SolarSquare to go faster in that direction.

What makes a satisfying explanation? Understanding and prediction are two different goals at odds with one another — think fundamental physics versus artificial neural networks — and even what defines a “simple” explanation varies from one person to another. Held in a kind of ecosystemic balance, these diverse approaches to seeking knowledge keep each other honest…but the use of one kind of knowledge to the exclusion of all others leads to disastrous results. And in the 21st Century, the difference between good and bad explanations determines how society adapts as rapid change transforms the world most people took for granted — and sends humankind into the epistemic wilds  to find new stories that will help us navigate this brave new world.This week we dive deep with SFI External Professor Simon DeDeo at Carnegie Mellon University to explore his research into intelligence and the search for understanding, bringing computational techniques to bear on the history of science, information processing at the scale of society, and how digital technologies and the coronavirus pandemic challenge humankind to think more carefully about the meaning that we seek, here on the edge of chaos…If you value our research and communication efforts, please subscribe to Complexity Podcast wherever you  listen, rate and review us at Apple Podcasts, and/or consider making a donation at santafe.edu/engage.

Into the Impossible With Brian Keating Podcast Notes Key Takeaways “We’re in this interrupt world of email and Slack, and if you want to think deeply about things you need to set aside blocks of time to think.” Dr. SpergelWhile awards are everything and shouldn’t be the main motivation for academic research, winning them gives you the opportunity to take risks later onDr. Spergel thinks that leadership is a skill that can be learned like anything elseHe views leadership like playing a sport: you can get better with practice, by reading about it, and with coachingIt’s a mentor’s job to instill the self-confidence needed for their mentees to succeedEven if you spend years going in the wrong direction, it can often lead to unexpected success later onFor debate to be fruitful, all participants need to agree to two principles:falsifiable tenants that can be tested with datafundamental concern with discovering the truthWhile string theory and ideas of the multiverse are interesting and fun, they ultimately aren’t falsifiable Funding is limited and difficult to acquire, so research should be focused on what can be disproven experimentally “I believe in the scientific enterprise. I think one of humanity’s great accomplishments, and certainly one of the great accomplishments of the last few hundred years, has been our deepening understanding of the universe.” Dr. SpergelRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgDavid Spergel is one of today's most respected and accomplished astrophysicists.
