Scientist and Engineer Achieve Breakthrough in Spacetime Distortion, Bringing Warp Drive Closer to Reality
That was my impression too, on top of scepticism about the physical plausibility.
So a quick check of the journal, and that didn't calm my doubts, looks suspiciously like a pay-to-publish operation, for people who want a citation to try to build credibility.
The author also doesn't seem to have work in this field published in more established journals, at least that I could find.
But I did find what seems to be a reference to the same person, about a job offer that was publicly retracted, with what must have been embarrassment, after doubts were raised about his research claims.https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...oQFnoECEAQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1X8iN4eWO1UwaUBEGxHEHD
It just seems harder and harder to sort out the truth in the era of internet misinformation....

Reminds me of a small article buried in the back pages of Aviation Week and Space Technology magazine that I read back in the mid-Eighties written by a so-called Air Force researcher that claimed a major breakthrough in antimatter propulsion. Claims were made in the article that it would allow a spacecraft to change its orbital orientation by ninety degrees—essentially a direct right or left turn from an equatorial orbit to a polar one. I found this remarkable because I hadn't yet heard of a working antimatter propulsion system either deployed or in development. That's when I noticed the date on the cover of the magazine, April 1 . . .

Roswell UFO Festival to celebrate 78th anniversary of incident
Aliens of some sort are ready to take over Roswell for the UFO Festival to celebrate the 78th anniversary of the UFO incident near the city.

Proof in fact that time-space is malleable: this thread manifests permanently as April 1. Enter the zone at your own risk, naturally …
In general, yes. In this thread, nah it’s still pretty easy
That;s my main memory of it.... 'what the..?' . IIRC it's more about the bridge collapse than Mothman. I'll watch it again someday.
Are Americans 'most people' now?
'Most people' are kinda average, critical-thinking-wise.

In the context of the discussion, yes. Obviously it ranges by nation, a surprisingly common belief regardless.
Obviously, and irrelevant.
Americans (meaning, the United States of) are exceptionally religious. Alert the media.
And what is your point in pointing out that a lot of Americans believe in angels? Is it any more salient than the point I made?
IIRC your actual Mothman only appears once, at the opening of the film. Then it gets weird and unfathomable.
In reality the bridge collapse was the tragedy the Mothman's appearances were supposed to portend.
You can always watch it just to brush up on your Richard Gere impersonation:

Yeah, I find it amazing how many Americans are seemingly religious, I find it surprising....I wonder if a good proportion of them secretly don't believe it. I mean there's a fair amount of crossover in terms of general "Western thinking" between Americans & Europeans, so I'm surprised they have this religious zeal in America.

I'll alert the media the US not even top 100 apparently:
World’s Most (And Least) Religious Countries, 2024 - CEOWORLD magazine
According to a survey conducted by CEOWORLD magazine, Somalia has once again been ranked as the most religious country in the world. The survey, which included responses from over 820,000 individuals worldwide, ranked 148 countries based on their level of religiousness. Niger came in second...

I'll take it you were not following the thread to understand how/why that came up. Read the thread if it's of interest.

That's a very interesting table! That's still a big 69% of USA people feeling religious, whereas it's more like 25% in Europe (albeit I just eyeball judged that figure), well actually let's say 35% in Europe.I'll alert the media the US not even top 100 apparently:

The 7% in China and 90% in India will provide the biggest swings in population. More data needed to decide which side 'most people' fall.

I don't see how one can really quantify it in any useful way, but sure, US is more religious than some Euro nations. The topic was specifically about US personnel within the DOD, some of whom are religious, view the UAP/UFO phenomena through that lens. I find it an interesting take, one I had not thought of.

Too small to get a decent sample size? That and religion is not popular there?
It's real belief. That doesn't mean the beliefs are coherent. Apart from monumentally tedious Christian apologists like Ross Douthat, most religious Americans neither could, nor care to, rigorously argue for their religious beliefs.
ooh, look, it knows how to google! Ok, just as you took 'Americans' as a stand in for 'most people' (don't deny it), I mean 'exceptional' for Western, what we used to call 'first world', countries.I'll alert the media the US not even top 100 apparently:

I did. Point remains.
