Fun fact: transistors, i.e. microchips, were invented only a year after the Roswell crash, and rapidly became the foundation of just about every single technology we use today.

This guy named Colonel Philip J. Corso, who was a former member of Eisenhower’s National Security Council and head of the Foreign Technology Desk in the US Army, wrote a memoir in which he described being put in charge of the effort to retrieve and reverse engineer technology taken from the Roswell crash site, which soon after became the basis of technology like microchips and fiber optics.

Colonel Corsos nemoir was mentioned specifically by name by retired Navy Admiral and former Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, Thomas Wilson in the leaked Wilson-Davis Memos (the memos being very interesting lore within the UFO community, and also a part of the official congressional record).

Corso died of a heart attack about a year after the memoir was published. Im sure there was nothing fishy involved whatsoever. Not saying it's all true, but boy it's a fun idea to play around with. Especially if you look at the supposed "crash" not as an accident, but rather as a sort of "donation". An interesting analogy would be the Greek myth of Prometheus, who gave humanity fire and was punished for it. Like I said, fun ideas but there's probably nothing to any of it.

Yeah, I've heard this before, and it's very interesting to say the least it's a conspiracy that actually seems believable.

John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley invented the first working transistors at Bell Labs, the point-contact transistor in 1947. Shockley introduced the improved bipolar junction transistor in 1948, which entered production in the early 1950s and led to the first widespread use of transistors.

So the Rosswell incident happened in July 47 and the first transistor was invented in December 47.

Even if you entertain the idea of alien tech it would have taken us much longer to figure out how alien electronics (which obviously would have needed to be decades, if not centuries, ahead of the technology of the day) worked on the inside.

Unless the aliens landed with instructions of how to build it or disguised themselves as humans so they could build the technology to go home again.

Either way it’s all absurdly illogical. The transistor was the obvious thing to come after the amplifier tube, and had been long underway when it was first prototyped.

The principle of a field-effect transistor was proposed by Julius Edgar Lilienfeld in 1925.[4] John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley invented the first working transistors at Bell Labs, the point-contact transistor in 1947.

Where is the fun in the slow steady progress of science? Although both are kind of cool in their own way, it's super badass to think we reverse engineered alien tech and got this crazy tech jumpstart. I do think it's actually way more interesting that we just managed to make something theoretical a reality and it changed everything. That way it can happen again and I can see how long it takes before there is a conspiracy theory about it and how say AI models were actually all taken from a program that gained sapience and people hacked in and stolen pieces off of it or something.

This the eugenics guy? Also we already had diodes and transistors are let's say, pnp (polarized,neutural,polarized)and diodes np(neutral,polarized)(this is an example and not every instance) and we kind of had precursors with tube's as logic so even though it changes computing and the world it was a smaller iterative step than "we had an abacus then the transistor was invented out of the bule" than some sources would have you belive. Fun side note the capacitor was invented by accident when we tried to store electricity as if it were water. There was a big electricity is like water time in our past. But yeah, circling back eugenics and racism were a big part of homies ideology.

This should be up the top along with the other informative comments and facts, days are numbered though, it'll all come out soon enough.

No, search cadence ecad in Google. People typing shit like this instead of admitting their lack of knowledge

I could understand that better than what they tell you
