The mysterious disappearance of a young Black scientist, Julian Brown, has sent shockwaves to his followers, who are certain that the young scientist might have been kidnapped or killed. Born in Tennessee, the 21-year-old inventor from the metro Atlanta area is known for developing plastoline, a microwave-pyrolysis machine that converts plastic waste into usable fuels like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. He is mostly known as the backyard scientist who does all his experiments in the backyard of his home and also a TikTok inventor because of his impressive social media presence through which his invention started to reach people.Turning plastic into gas is a project that Brown has been working on for around five years.
Is Julian Brown really missing? What happened to him?
There is no confirmation on whether Brown is really missing or not. His followers claimed that he disappeared on July 9 after posting a very ominous video. In the video, he said he was experiencing some “very, very off stuff” and he was convinced that he was under attack. He said he won’t be able to reveal any other details but urged his followers to keep their eyes open. This was not the only eerie suggestion that he dropped just before disappearing. He said he knew he would not live long. He also said he felt he was being stalked and some black helicopters were circling his home.
No missing person report filed: Conspiracy theories
Conspiracy theories gain ground while there’s no missing person’s complaint filed. Many social media users dismissed the outcry over Brown’s apparent disappearance and said he was not under attack because he was not developing anything revolutionary. People also said that the ‘backyard scientist’ took himself too seriously to think that he was being surveilled and all of this was just to draw attention. Other theories suggest that there is a possibility that he might have been targeted or silenced to suppress his technology. Some believe that he could also lie low, off the social media platforms and probably he is not in danger.
