Believing in demons and angels and gods is thinking outside the box?
Since when?
That garbage has polluted mankind since the first shyster came along and convinced the rest of the tribe to give him all their stuff or the great sky monster or whatever would destroy them.
I THINK, period.
Outside, inside, around and under the box.
Never found a reason to believe in any of that.
Didn't need convincing either, by demons, angels, gods, toothfairy's, talking crickets, or flying donkeys.

I watched the video also and I'm not going to get into details here about his body language, credentials, or the possibility of this happening or not but can't our ET "friends" help us with this problem with their 1000 year ahead technology? I'm sure that if they are that advanced, they can do something about it

I'm simply trying to motivate individuals to stop saying Boohoo He's lying based on content of the video, math, or location of nearest stars. We are not capable of disproving this video on these facts alone. We are searching for life on Mars are we not? We'd like to look at Jupiters moons, saturns moons. Why would it be impossible for another heat producing gas giant to support some kind of life FURTHER than we can investigate at this point in time?
Here is what we have, verbal pronounciation of name, school, dates of start and graduation, PHD, date of birth, town and country of birth, brief overview of his employment history. Let's focus on these things please. We've found few leads, but they require money to investigate further, how ever not many people are completely invisible on the internet these days so somewhere in the billions of pages something could be found. Let's have at it folks.

I have this guy figured out.
He's a hoaxer, and a poor one at that, since nothing he said is credible.
The rest of it, I could care less.
I don't need hope.
Hope is for those with nothing left to lose.
Hows that for outside the box?
Scientists understand that Earth's magnetic field has flipped its polarity many times over the millennia. In other words, if you were alive about 800,000 years ago, and facing what we call north with a magnetic compass in your hand, the needle would point to 'south.' This is because a magnetic compass is calibrated based on Earth's poles. The N-S markings of a compass would be 180 degrees wrong if the polarity of today's magnetic field were reversed. Many doomsday theorists have tried to take this natural geological occurrence and suggest it could lead to Earth's destruction. But would there be any dramatic effects? The answer, from the geologic and fossil records we have from hundreds of past magnetic polarity reversals, seems to be 'no.'
Reversals are the rule, not the exception. Earth has settled in the last 20 million years into a pattern of a pole reversal about every 200,000 to 300,000 years, although it has been more than twice that long since the last reversal. A reversal happens over hundreds or thousands of years, and it is not exactly a clean back flip. Magnetic fields morph and push and pull at one another, with multiple poles emerging at odd latitudes throughout the process. Scientists estimate reversals have happened at least hundreds of times over the past three billion years. And while reversals have happened more frequently in "recent" years, when dinosaurs walked Earth a reversal was more likely to happen only about every one million years.

What was the last word in that EXTEXT? "NO"
What does that "NO" refer to? The destruction of Earth? Yeah, I think so.
I goes on to read:

So, hmmm, wait, pole reversals happened when the dinosaurs were around and it didn't kill the dinosaurs every single time?
Yep.
Thus, even if a pole reversal were to happen, All data consistent in the geologic record indicates that we pretty much have very little to fear, other than the havoc it'll wreak on our electronic gadgets.
