ok, i was watching Armageddon last night when this idea came to me, hit me like a ton of bricks. anyways scientists beleive an astroid (meteor) killed the dinosaurs, and made them extinct, but what if there was bacteria on the asteroid (meteor) that human life evolved off of? It answers the question why there are no other intelligent beings found so far, because we are already here.
Actually, there is a working theory that the "stuff of life" was deposited by a comet or asteroid long before the dinosaurs came along. That being said, there are no intelligent beings found so far because out technology is still in it's infancy and space is big...really big. It's not easy for a lot of folks to wrap their head around just how big those cosmic distances are. The sun is about 93,000,000 miles away from earth. It takes about 8 minutes for light from the sun to reach the earth with the light moving at 186,000 miles per second. The nearest star is 4 light years away which means the light takes 4 years to get from there to here and vice versa. That's 186,000 x 60(seconds) x 60(minutes) x 24(hours) x 365(days) x 4 miles. That's a shitload of miles. Einstein says that there is no way to travel at the speed of light because as speed increases and reaches that speed, so does mass so there is no way to carry enought fuel to even reach that speed much less slow down. This is all based on out current limited knowledge of physics and there may be ways to get around that barrier such as wormholes or warping space. We know also from Einstein that large gravitational fields (such as those around planets and stars) are capable of "warping" the space around them so if we can figure out how to manipulate gravitational fields we might be able to use them to warp space or in other words, create some kind of warp drive. But at this point in time we can't even measure gravity, only it's effects on us and our environment.Quote:

We get spacedust every year.Quote:

Actually, psylocibin, the active substance in psychoactive mushrooms, does not comply with any other compound on earth, it is unique in its form and is thus believed to have been brought here by some meteor.
So, your thought is not too shabby, in fact, it's what quantum mechanics scientists believe to be the origin of species, a rich mixture of alien substances brewing into a nice multi-terrestrial melting pot.
:thumbsup: Don't you love thinking about these things?
Yes Harvest...I do.
nice post bonsaiguy, was replying before i could read ;)
Yeah we can't wrap our heads around the scale of the universe, much less its infinity. However, since we're hit every five minutes (approx) by some sort of body, it wouldn't be too naieve to assume those contain anything new to us, no?
i know we cant ever reach the speed of light, but according to my phisics/enviromental science teacher, we came near it with these magnets or something along that area, but there are dreams
Thanks for the compliment and actually, I can and have grasped the scale of the universe(with and without the benefit of psychotropics)...scares me sometimes. And I think that there all sorts of new and unknown things out there just waiting for us to discover them. And a lot we will never discover. And a lot we will discover and never comprehend. We'd better just hope that if the aliens ever do show up, it's not the Borg.
I suspect your teacher was referring to the various nuclear accelerators that exist such as the one at Cern which uses magnets to accelerate things like protons and neutrons to incredible speeds.Quote:

Though not upon that paticular asteroid it is theorized that life could have been initiated on our planet by organic molecules on a asteroid. We use those magnets you speak of to generate fields that shoot particles so fast that they are within millionths of a fraction from the speed of light.
You know that we can physically watch the birth of the universe right now? The light, well only the gamma rays, are just reaching us now after their 10 billion light year journey, I think that fuckin mindblowin bro:stoned:
That is something we'll hear about very soon... Forgive me for being so secretive but mark my words. :cool:Quote:

With such boosters we have been able to accelerate space probes at speeds of up to 100+ km/s and have accomplish a complete survey of the Solar System in five years. we have been testing antimatter bombs which are very powerful charges were synthesised in the natural or original position at the moment of impact. The first trials of these entirely oversized bombs too powerful for Earth tests were done by sending them off to the Sun. To do this very high specific impulse MHD propelled bombs have been launched on trajectories at a wide angle to the Ecliptic plane in order to get merged with a known family of comets. Trials were continued with shots on Jupiter. There again the bomb modules were directed in such a way as to be mistaken for cometary debris Initially loaded on board the Atlantis shuttle the modules were conveyed on site by an MHD propelled cargo which was then selfdestroyed The modules created a magnetosphere which simulated cometary degassing we penetrated Jupiter's high atmosphere at 130 km/s do to their MHD shield system.. Thermonuclear compressed antimatter synthesis followed by instantaneous explosion caused the impacts to be mistaken for comet fragments. we managed to separate the produced antimatter from matter and to confine it in magnetic bottles. we used it for propulsion for a disc shaped drone operational since 1990 which can travel at Mach 15 in dense air and which we attempt to keep secret. :thumbsup:
Those Borgs have showed up. In fact, one may have won Wimbledon, I'm not too good with my Tennis history, but Bjorn Borg was a tenacious racket player.Quote:

I aint no physics student but check this out. Supposedbly in one of this books that I'm reading they believe that these aliens kidnappin humans is true. And they believe that the human race is now mixed with various alien DNA. I always thought this was possible, if the alien abductions are true.
I swear I seen a UFO one night when I was on vacation. It freaked me out..now I believe aliens are out there.
Sorry for the miss spellings, I write like I talk and I got a southern accent.
There is not possible way to even think that there is not other beings out there. The universe is way to big for it to be just us.
