Are we really alone?

[hairy stu]

i dont disagree, but are we just listening to someone elses phone calls?

[oldrider]

The surest sign that theres intelligent life "out there" is that is has'nt tried to contact us. Thats what i beleive and im sticking to it.

Imagine some form of intelligent life from out there wanting to shake Helen Clark's hand!

69 DUDE! YEAH

[Indiana_Jones]

Well I think there has to be something else out there, but not like that X-files crap. Maybe just like micro bacteria etc.

Crush her balls did you say?....

69 DUDE! YEAH

42's the answer to the $64.000 question.

69 is the answer to mankind's overcrowding of the planet.

[Big Dave]

42 is the answer - but what was the question?
(i know)

[bugjuice]

what, the answer to the meaning of everything in life?

[oldrider]

69 is the answer to mankind's overcrowding of the planet. Skyryder

Yep 69 is still the magic number! Hope there is a 69 in the after life, the Muslims can keep their bloody virgins.

[Lazy7]

someone say The Meaning of Life?

There are Jews in the world.
There are Buddhists.
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I've never been one of them.

I'm a Roman Catholic,
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is:
They'll take you as soon as you're warm.
You don't have to be a six-footer.
You don't have to have a great brain.
You don't have to have any clothes on. You're
A Catholic the moment Dad came,

Because

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Let the heathen spill theirs
On the dusty ground.
God shall make them pay for
Each sperm that can't be found.

Every sperm is wanted.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Hindu, Taoist, Mormon,
Spill theirs just anywhere,
But God loves those who treat their
Semen with more care.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood!

Every sperm is useful.
Every sperm is fine.
God needs everybody's.
Mine! And mine! And mine!

Let the Pagan spill theirs
O'er mountain, hill, and plain.
God shall strike them down for
Each sperm that's spilt in vain.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is good.
Every sperm is needed
In your neighbourhood.

Every sperm is sacred.
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite iraaaaate!

I seen some UFO's they werent planes

UFO = Unidentified Flying Object, not alien spacecraft.

they werent anything from this planet,

But you were unable to identify the object.

If there is anything intelligent out there (like aliens in saucers with a propensity for sticking things up people's bottoms), then they must have a different take on the space:time continuum than we do. My understanding is that the closest solar system that could stand any chance of supporting humanoid life as we know it is at least 10 light years away. All sorts of funny shit happens at speeds approaching the speed of light, which means that the 20-year round trip (if they could travel at the speed of light) results in them being away from home for a significantly much longer period (Lorentz Transformation). So travelling from point A in space to point B in space, even if they can do it really quickly in the same space:time continuum, makes little sense (even if it is practicable).

I acknowledge that there is much that humankind does not understand. Maybe logic and reason aren't useful analysis tools for this subject area?

[mstriumph]

in short
we are alone
-------- get used to it!

[Matt Bleck]

If there is life out their, best they stay right the fuck away, cause we'll just chop 'em up and do some test's, and then find we can use them instead of petrol.

Hitcher, I'm wondering who or what (apart from light) has actually travelled at the speed of light to know that these theroy's are fact....

[Waylander]

As someone said, there are a huge number of stars out there. Chance are there's a huge number just like our Sol, hey to be quite honest, a sun doesn't need to be exactly like our Sol for it to support life. I think many different types and sizes have a "sweet spot" or radius range in which a planet can support life if it is within these bounds.

That "sweet spot" is only for life similar to ours. Carbon based and what not. No reason life cannot exhist outside of this. I cannot believe that life could be limited to only one set formula for success.
