We will be giving away free Bibles at one table.

Where is the show? I'll come. And bring my own KJB.

happy easter!

It will keep clueless ass hats like you out, won't it.
Stay in your basement, fondling your bacteria laden face diaper, you coward science-free f**ktard.

Cool, but may I ask what ur name means

Ever watch Star Trek: Next Generation?

I’ve watched them, I think I might understand the reference. I was asking wether your name was referring to Q Clearance.

When I was read in, I laughed. I figured Q was named by some guy with bad pronunciation. You know... new-Q-ler

I don’t quite understand, please elaborate more.

Ah, sorry for the terse response. I assumed you had clearances. In most of the classified world, there's secret and top secret. The department of energy (DOE) clearance that is basically equivalent to top secret is called Q. When you go to work someplace classified, they read a document to you that explains what knowledge is important to protect about the project you're working on. It's called being "read in." Someone working on building a satellite might be told that the composition of the metal alloys being used are the most important thing to protect. (I wouldn't know - never designed a satellite... just an example.) DOE deals with nuclear energy, and as a result of having that expertise, they also hold the secrets to nuclear weapons. Sometimes the names of compartments have zero meaning attached to the projects they represent. Umber, a color, might be the codeword for a missile. Sometimes it's ironic, like I would name the project to design a mosquito sized drone "Kong." I thought Q was either intentionally funny as a joke, or unintentionally funny because the person who chose the designation had bad pronunciation.

Oh no, I’m not even old enough for a job yet, I’ve just heard of the levels of security. I’ve just found them interesting.

You sound like a curiosity driven person. I find that curiosity is a trait that overrides the fear of being "wrong" and replaces it with, "want moar information." That's a really good mindset.

The best starting place I can recommend on classified stuff is to get your hands on the book "Deep Black: Space Espionage and National Security" by William E. Burrows. Should be around $5 for a used paperback. He has the best explanation of the levels of classification I have seen outside of a SCIF. And he explains what a SCIF is ;-) If you get yourself a copy of SF-86, you can start compiling the information you would need to apply for a job requiring a clearance in the future. The work is interesting and the people you will work with are amazing.

Thanks for the suggestion, my dads buddy at work actually used to work at Area 51 and my dad says it’s difficult to talk to his friend because there is so many questions my dad asks but he can’t get answers for.

Your Dad's buddy is 90% probably an engineer. Groom Lake is a place where engineers design and test stuff. Then all the stuff that didn't work has to be burned(sometimes super-fancy composites just end up being a super-toxic mess, another reason to not trespass there) or buried. No aliens... sorry. I think the people who believe in aliens most are the ones that have a low opinion of humans. They probably aren't stupid, but they think people are stupid. They just haven't met the same people I have. Science is about trying out stuff and when your 632nd idea doesn't work, you move on to idea number 633. The evidence of what didn't work has to be concealed to avoid giving an edge to competitors. A foreign intelligence agency committed large theft of hand-written scientific notes from Iran's nuclear program. That may have the effect of removing some of the knowledge of what doesn't work. They might have to test some of their failed weapon designs over again because they lost their notes about what didn't work!

Well my dads friend is a plane mechanic. I know aliens aren’t a thing, but I’ve heard of a new source of energy that’s being produced in Area 51.

No.

Oh ok.
