Hell, our backwards barbarian scientists have come up with a theorized way of moving faster than light: warp bubble technology.
Arrogance defined. Don’t claim to know what is impossible to know. And even the most amateurish philosopher wouldn’t try to claim that the unknown can’t exist!
Until you demonstrate something exists, it's proper to assume it doesn't.
Shaman saysI’m gonna add another point: we haven’t sent any manned missions to other celestial bodies like the moon in 40 years. Why is that?
Because the United States went to the moon for public relations - to beat the Soviets, who one upped the capitalist pigs with Sputnik.
Any woman will tell you that "one-upmanship" is the nature of men. Like when the F-15 first came on line, The Air Force used a stripped down F-15 named "Streak Eagle" to set a new time to climb world record. Very soon after that, the Soviets dusted off a stock MiG-25 and beat that record. No important reason to do that, just men acting like men.
and they have millions of years to think about the problem, they’d certainly come up with some kind of solution!
unless we have some fundamental mistakes about physics,
A SCIENTIST would remain agnostic about the possible existence of the unknown.
But that’s a pretty high bar to leap for 99% of everyone who thinks they are a scientist.
But on the other hand, for purposes of persuading public opinion like, say, a POLITICIAN, anything without mountains of proof or anything that’s even just unpopular or unfashionable can be easily discounted.
Which are you?
I agree that without faster than light space travel being possible, a galactic federation is unnecessary and thus has low probability of existence.
Why do we think that spaceships are manned (aliened?) by biological life forms and not by advanced robots?
Then why not solve mortality.
Could be. But any truly advanced AI is going to want a meat suit. It’s just so fucking dope to experience reality with five senses rather than two. Most of what gives enjoyment to life is tied to sensory input. Or why else would we have a sexy photo thread on this site that just won’t die?
Face it: flesh is fucking fantastic for living as a sentient being.
patrick I think we both chatted about that night on here and I saw it in SD when I was driving home.
I kinda remember that. But I don't think it could have been the exact same one. I'm pretty sure it was on this side of the east bay hills, and coming right in to Moffett.

And hey, maybe this happened because someone doesn't want us listening to the aliens:

This one was in Japan, but it's very similar to what I saw.
porkchopexpress saysPerception is realityAliens are really good at sex.
Umm, that anal probe you got wasn't sex.......
I'd rather have anal probe space aliens as overlords than Chinese president She.
