It's likely total bullshit.
Rep. Tim Burchett actually kinda pointed this out on Bannon's War Room. Although if advanced technology were discovered, the military would want to keep that tight lipped. Tim basically said it's a little bit of a false flag, because they are trying to get a couple extra bucks.
However, truly alien technology isn't something we can actually work with. It would be like handing a deer a cellphone. An alien life form might not have 10 fingers and 10 toes, let a lone a base 10 numbering system. We wouldn't understand the basic premises that the technology is based on. And the materials science that makes of the thing, wouldn't be similar because it' not earth based technology. The crust and gravity of their planet might be different enough that the technology isn't something we can begin to decipher.
Put it like this. Pilots who flew in the Soviet Union required extensive re-training, to fly western aircraft after the USSR fell. There were tons of little things like: Latin lettering, different engineering systems to how flight controls worked, the warnings and instruments both read and presented information differently, and in different places. Yet, this was just a different civilization living on the same planet, at the same time, as all of us.
Alien technology of any kind might be practically indecipherable, maybe for centuries.
I agree anything truly alien would likely be difficult to work with, but I doubt the numbering system would be the main sticking point. Humans are already very familiar/proficient in working with non base 10 stuff like binary, and hexadecimal
That's one part of the problem, it's a single example that most people never consider.
It's not just the numbering system that's the problem. The problem is that our math isn't the same. Math isn't just "math". Modern mathematics is based on Number Theory and, mostly, Cartesian systems. It is the modern iteration of mathematics. Very few people, even math majors, could work with "math" if it were based off of Euclidian Mathematics, or ancient Greek geometry. This is because those mathematical systems were abandoned, because we reached the end-point of those logical systems given their presuppositions and axioms.
Alien mathematics would be built off entirely different presuppositions, and have a totally different history. We'd have to find a way to translate all of their mathematical procedures, starting with gravitational constants (the only thing we could probably have any chance of working off of.
You're talking out your ass. You're saying a modern mathematician would struggle with proofs because "modern math" is arithmetic. Modern math is wholly comprised of proofs. Calculation is largely a tool of engineering.
Whatever dude, I didn't say any of those things.
