UFO sighting in Texas!

SirMoby · 2008-01-23, 04:33 PM

The Universe has been around for about 13.7 Billion years. Earth has been around for about 1/3 of that time. That leaves an a huge amount of planets out there that could have formed and evolved for billions of years longer then we have.

Considering that humans have gone from basically monkeys to space flight in about 200,000 years I think there has to be a lot of other species out there that can travel to us.

However, I think that any species that is so advanced that they can travel around the galaxy is also advanced enough to not get caught spying on humans.

I'm sure there is life far more intelligent then us out there.
They probably have visited us.
I think they're smart enough to not get caught.

Only if they've figured out how to travel faster than the speed of light. Unless the leading scientific minds are all 100% wrong, that's not possible.

1. Our leading minds have only evolved for 200k years.
2. We've been considering the issue for less then 100 years.
3. Why does space travel require moving at all? Doesn't space bend naturally through gravity and worm holes? If you can manipulate space then you might only have to travel 100 yards to the next galaxy.

Working with quantum physics for another 100 years will probably give us enough answers to understand the theories behind space travel. We've only known about atoms for a few generations and now we have nuclear bombs. Think what might happen with a 100, 1,000 or 1,000,000 more generations thinking about them.

You've been watching too much sci-fi.

Yeah he has, but good SF uses scientific fact as a base for speculation on what is possible. If an alien race is more advanced than us, then what we see as "speculation" may be "yesterday's technology" to them. We talk about Capt Kirk "bending space around wormholes to jump large distances" and they may look on that as a "primitive form of travel".

Agreed 100%. Only arrogant human beings think we are the pinnacle of life in the universe.

Thanks to everyone for the replies. some were funny, as expected! Sir Moby, I like yours the best and I agree! Our space ships travel in outer space and inspect other planets!!! The southpark episode when Cartman got an anal probe was great!!! |spaceship
