In a 2018 Netflix documentary, Bob Lazar claims to be a physicist who worked for a very secret site called S-4, near Area 51. His job was to reverse-engineer alien UFO propulsion technology. He claims that not only are there an alien space craft there, but that these crafts are from the Zeta Reticuli star system, and can bend and fold space time in order to propel themselves to anywhere in the universe without the need to travel near the speed of light.  In this video I examine if he is orchestrating an elaborate hoax, or whether the alien technology is scientifically plausible.  <br/><br/>A lot of people don’t know that Area 51 was not that well known until Bob Lazar made some bold claims about aliens and alien crafts being stored there back 30 years ago in 1989.  In the Netflix documentary, Mr. Lazar outlines how the space folding engines on these space crafts are set up.<br/>Incredible claims like folding space require incredible evidence.  There’s no physical evidence to speak of, but there is his eye witness report.  In the documentary, he describes the physical set up of the engines, but what the documentary did not show is his description of how the alien engines works.<br/><br/> Here is how Mr. Lazar described the alien propulsion system:<br/>“ (it generates)…an intense gravitational field and using that field to distort space/time, bringing the destination to the source, and allowing you to cross many light years of space in little time and without traveling in a linear mode near the speed of light.” Distorting space/time is not a big deal. All matter distorts space and time. That’s what gravity is.   What Mr. Lazar I think is alluding to is the idea of creating a wormhole in space to go instantly from one location to another. <br/><br/>The problem is that in order to create a wormhole this size, according to everything we know requires an enormous amount of energy. I mean the energy created if the <br/>entire mass of the earth was turned completely into energy. But according to Mr. Lazar, the “fuel” for this spaceship comes from a few hundred pounds of element 115. A few hundred pounds of any matter would not come anywhere close to creating the amount of energy needed for this.<br/><br/>The other inconvenience with creating a worm hole is that everything would be sucked into the wormhole, not just the space ship, but also all the air, the buildings nearby, the trees, the grass, the city.  Probably half of Nevada.  <br/><br/>Mr. Lazar claimed that element 115 serves not only as a generator of the Gravity A wave, but also as the fuel for the matter/antimatter reactor that powers the rest of the saucer. He says:   <br/>“…Element 115 is bombarded with a proton, which plugs into the nucleus of the 115 atom and becomes 116, which immediately decays and releases a small amount of antimatter. <br/>“antimatter and matter collide and annihilate totally converting to energy”<br/>What is antimatter? antimatter is just like matter except with the opposite charge. So an antiproton is a proton with a negative charge instead of a positive charge. The problem is, how do you get antimatter like an antiproton?  These things are not floating around inside elements like element 115, that can simply be dislodged by hitting it with a proton, as Mr. Lazar seems to be saying. <br/><br/>The only way to get antimatter is to convert energy to get a proton/antiproton pair.  How much energy would this take?  It would take exactly the same amount of energy to create a proton/antiproton pair as the energy you would get out by colliding the proton and antiproton together.  This means that this engine on the spacecraft would create no net new energy!<br/><br/>Some give credence to Mr. Lazar because he talked about element 115 back in 1989,  before it was discovered.  How could he have known about element 115?  in order to predict elements that haven’t been discovered yet, all you have to do is look at the periodic table.  Naturally occurring elements stop at element 92 – Uranium.  Everything heavier than Uranium is synthesized in a lab, not discovered.  Anyone can predict heavier elements. Eventually it will be synthesized.  <br/><br/>Currently, elements up to 118 have been synthesized.  It doesn’t take a genius to predict what elements will be synthesized next.  I’ll make a prediction for you, an element 120 exists. <br/><br/>Mr. Lazar's educational background?  Claims advanced degrees from MIT and Cal Tech. Neither school has a record of Mr. Lazar. No profs or students remember him</span>\n</div>\n<div class='action-container flex justify-between'>\n<button aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description' class='rp-full-description' type='button'>\n<i class='fai fa-solid fa-align-left'></i>\n<span id='read_more'>Read More</span>\n</button>\n<div class='rp-report'>\n</div>\n</div>\n<div aria-labelledby='resource-details-heading' class='rp-info-section'>\n<h2 class='title' id='resource-details-heading'>Resource Details</h2>\n<div class='rp-resource-details clearfix'>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt>Curator Rating</dt>\n<dd><span class=\"star-rating\" aria-label=\"4.0 out of 5 stars\" role=\"img\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"></i><i class=\"fa-solid fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"></i><i class=\"fa-solid fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"></i><i class=\"fa-solid fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"></i><i class=\"fa-regular fa-star text-action\" aria-hidden=\"true\"></i></span></dd>\n</dl>\n</div>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt class=\"educator-rating-title\">Educator Rating</dt><dd><div class=\"educator-rating-details\" data-path=\"/educator_ratings/rrp_data?resourceable_id=91139989&amp;resourceable_type=Boclips%3A%3AVideoMetadata\"><span class=\"not-yet-rated\">Not yet Rated</span></div></dd>\n</dl>\n</div>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt>Media Length</dt>\n<dd>10:35</dd>\n</dl>\n</div>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt>Grade</dt><dd title=\"Grade\">12th - Higher Ed</dd>\n</dl>\n</div>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt>Subjects</dt><dd><span><a href=\"/search?keywords=how+to+problem+solve&amp;page=37&amp;search_tab_id=1&amp;subject_ids%5B%5D=365221\">Science</a></span></dd><dd class=\"text-muted\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-lock mr5\"></i>6 more...</dd>\n</dl>\n</div>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt>Media Type</dt><dd><span><a href=\"/search?keywords=how+to+problem+solve&amp;page=37&amp;search_tab_id=2&amp;type_ids%5B%5D=4543647\">Instructional Videos</a></span></dd>\n</dl>\n</div>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt>Source:</dt>\n<div class='preview-source' data-animation='true' data-boundary='.rp-info' data-container='.rp-resource-details' data-html='false' data-title='Complex questions about the nature of reality - explained simply' data-trigger='hover focus'>\n<span>Arvin Ash</span>\n<i aria-hidden='true' class='fa-solid fa-circle-info channel-tooltip-icon' id='channel-tooltip'></i>\n</div>\n</dl>\n</div>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt>Date</dt>\n<dd>2019</dd>\n</dl>\n</div>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<i aria-hidden='true' class='fai fa-solid fa-language'></i>\n<dt>Language</dt><dd>English</dd>\n</dl>\n</div>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt>Audiences</dt><dd><span><a href=\"/search?audience_ids%5B%5D=371079&amp;keywords=how+to+problem+solve&amp;page=37&amp;search_tab_id=1\">For Teacher Use</a></span></dd><dd class=\"text-muted\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-lock mr5\"></i>2 more...</dd>\n</dl>\n</div>\n<div class='detail'>\n<dl>\n<dt>Usage Permissions</dt><dd>Fine Print: Educational Use</dd>\n</dl>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n<div aria-labelledby='additional-materials-heading' class='rp-info-section'>\n<h2 class='title' id='additional-materials-heading'>Additional Materials</h2>\n<div class='additional-material'>\n<i aria-hidden='true' class='fai fa-solid fa-lock'></i>\n<a class=\"text-muted\" title=\"Video Transcript\" data-html=\"true\" data-placement=\"bottom\" data-trigger=\"click\" data-content=\"<div class=&quot;text-center py-2&quot;><a class=&quot;bold&quot;
