No, I think the Dutch did, and we stole it from from them.
It only makes sense that that's how it went down.

Do you think the US got solidstate and computer chip technology from aliens ? it's possible.
one thing that is probable is that scientists and the intelligence community asked themselves some questions: * how can they make such radical, gravity defying maneuvers? * what source of energy are they using? * what sources of propulsion?
then it's 'just' a matter of coming up with possible explanations.
thus, they would advance our scientific knowledge just by flying in our skies.

AbsoLUTEly ! No doubt about it! It couldn't have possibly gone down any other way.

I think we got help from something, probably in our genes though. Programed sort of like a PC so every generation gets better and smarter.

You guys just get stoopid about aliens...Geeeez....Obviously the technology came from the future, where people came back here thru a warm hole to warn us of Apes taking over the world in there future. Meanwhile, we managed to get this technology from them while they were here and they were drunk.

Chips are mostly transistors. Little 1's and 0's, on, off thingies!
And we didn't have to "gor" them for the gift.

Ummm, is the only takeaway you got from my comment that "I didn't like it" when a bunch of armchair cosmologists with training in the field about equal to Al's training as a musicologist speculate about such things? How about, it might just be silly or even amusing in a way...lol

Michio Kaku is certainly no armchair cosmologist and he is *very* open to the possibility that we are being visited by ETIs.

Pay close attention here...I'm not talking about Michio Kaku, I'm talking about you and others like you.
who cares? you seem pretty full of yourself.
anyway, i'm off.
i got to the patrol the Askonia star system; space pirates have been detected. lol

Personally, I'm convinced that aliens created Miley Cyrus and dropped her off here as a way to slowly destroy our society in anticipation of their invasion. You know...to soften up the target first.
-john
Jest aside... this is as plausible as any other kooky bullshit out there. Good guess.

Don't insult my dog, she's waaaaaay smarter than you. BTW dunderhead, when you're off to patrol, don't forget your tinfoil hat. You can't afford any more damage upstairs. So...is that all you got?

The transistor paved the way for solid state electronics and was known long before the Roswell crash in 1947.
The thermionic triode, a vacuum tube invented in 1907, propelled the electronics age forward, enabling amplified radio technology and long-distance telephony. The triode, however, was a fragile device that consumed a lot of power. Physicist Julius Edgar Lilienfeld filed a patent for a field-effect transistor (FET) in Canada in 1925, which was intended to be a solid-state replacement for the triode. Lilienfeld also filed identical patents in the United States in 1926 and 1928. However, Lilienfeld did not publish any research articles about his devices nor did his patents cite any specific examples of a working prototype. Because the production of high-quality semiconductor materials was still decades away, Lilienfeld's solid-state amplifier ideas would not have found practical use in the 1920s and 1930s, even if such a device had been built. In 1934, German inventor Oskar Heil patented a similar device.
