"Which assumes another lifeform, even if it is scanning for signs of life, has a tool to pick up such activity."
And if they live in a student house, do they have a licence to pick 'em up anyway?

more importantly, we haven't been recieving any radio transmissions from anywhere else depsite looking like crazy with SETA and the like. Which suggests there's nothing much close at all or aliens use some astounding technology that still eludes us to communicate like mental telepathy.

It's more likely they look like klingons and have big pasties stuck to their heads and say things like 'We could copulate but I'm not sure what your pleasure thresholds are'
If the universe, space and time were infinate as TJ has suggested then even though it's pretty improbable, there is something out there that looks like Klingons, that have big pasties stuck to their heads and are, right now, saying exactly that.
Which, must finally prove that he's wrong about something

This bit from MIB says it all to me....
1500 years ago everybody knew the earth was the center of the universe. 500 years ago, everybody knew the earth was flat. And 15 minutes ago you knew that people were alone on this planet.
Seems like knowledge is evolving all the time, so just because "the man" says it can't happen , doesn't mean it won't ... just means that to the best of his knowledge at this time ... it can't, but things change....
But as H2G2 tells us..

That's true to some extent and I'm guessing that will prove correct for gravity/dark matter nature of space time etc. But faster than light speed travel is a different matter. Even close to light speed travel does some crazy crazy things and you would need infinate energy to get to light speed. The only way to travel that fast or faster between two points is by bending space around you which is inconcievable with current understanding of what space 'is'

the problem is whenever us humans have come accross a less 'developed' society we tend to enslave the natives, take all their gold and generally shit on them eg, africa, south america, australia
you know what that means for the future of humans........
how scary would that be- not enslavement by a race of john travoltas, which would
be scary enough, but that scientologists were right all along!!and as for the OP yes i think they are definately out there but will never come here

Guido - Bronze age wasn't that long ago.....I nicked this from Wikipedia:
Belief in a flat Earth is found in mankind's oldest writings, such as the Epic of Gilgamesh. In early Egyptian[3], and Mesopotamian thought the world was portrayed as a flat disk floating in the ocean, and this forms the premise for early Greek maps such as those of Anaximander and Hecataeus of Miletus.[citation needed]
The Hebrew Bible carried forward the ancient Middle Eastern cosmology, revealed partly in the Enuma Elish, which described a flat earth with a solid roof, surrounded by water above and below. [4][5]
You can have a look yourself & follow the links on WIki. I'm sure that medieval people, bronze age people & whoever else knew that the world was a sphere, but there were people who believed the Earth was flat.

Interesting thread following so soon after the paranormal, "My 2 1/2 year old is talking to dead people thread".
Most interesting because there are several posters who were absolutely positive that there was no such thing as the paranormal, yet they believe in aliens.

In Egypt they thought the world was a ball this can be seen on thousands Statues of Amen Ra, Ra, Horus The Elder etc. It is clearly a ball-(not a disk as they are in 3d).
Also they believe that a huge scarab beetle rolls the ball across the sky.

but science and aliens are much more compatible than science and ghosts
im pretty sure NASA or someone will find bacterial life or traces of bacterial life within our own solar system, europa, mars, io etc etc
these 2 on the other hand are a just clowns

I think we're not far away from proof of "life" on another earth-like planet, more and more are being discovered all the time, now that we know what to look for, so in that respect, I reckon less than 10 years away. What sort of "life" that is, whether it's a recognisable civilisation, and whether we'll ever meet are more difficult to answer.
Are "they" here now? Who can say?

Because ghosts are just a silly sleight of the human imagination whereas alien lifeform (and none of us are thinking little green men from Mars BTW) is pretty much a certainty.Posted 2 years ago #
