Its a Dyson Swarm !

How the hell did so many vacuum cleaners get there?

Does an ant pay much attention to a Jumbo jet flying in the sky?

If aliens have visited us they are so much further advanced than we are, we are the ant.

Its highly unlikely to be aliens SETI & others take a look at strange anomalies every day.

Also for anyone thats interested in how far we have been broadcasting into space have a look at the attached pic.


That diagram is an excellent example how absolutely massive galactic distances are.
It also illustrates how theory-based a lot of astronomy is based-on.

For example, we have theorised we are in a spiral galaxy, based on observations of other galaxies far away and limited observations of our own.(that picture posted is obviously not of the Milky Way, but of another galaxy, assumed to be similar to our own.

The time and distances involved are so absolutely massive (in astronomical terms), we just have to get on with what limited data we can get in the brief time we are alive, and the miniscule distances we can travel.

Although the allure of a six-breasted female alien is quite absorbing, the distance makes it impractical. Amsterdam, however, is only about an hours flight by plane, and any saggy minge will do

The evidence for a spiral galaxy is pretty strong, I cant really go into detail now because I am at work. It is funny though there were still plenty of flat earthers about right up until we put the first satellite in space & took a pic of the earth, A lot of science is theory but it is always backed by maths.
A black hole for example we cant see it because light cant escape but we know its there.

Im all for banging a a 3 titted alien.

Here we have a subject where no one is an expert.
I hear all kinds of speculation on this topic and that is all it is.
The Drake equation is next to useless.

I have seen a very convincing UFO and so have others I know.
I also know a great Roswell story from someone there at the time. I am very open minded about the whole subject.

I believe in UFO's, I'm not necessarily sold on the idea that they are spaceships but some might be. I think alien life elsewhere in the galaxy is more than likely, on the basis of probability, and that the first 'alien life' we probably encounter will by archeological rather than living (Dead civilisations).

The main reason I think that aliens from elsewhere in the galaxy aren't visiting earth (at least regularly) is that the sheer distances and effort involved is monumental, even with technology, just to 'take a peek' and head off.

But as they say, when you eliminate the probable explainations, then a real scientist starts to look at the improbable.

One day though we'll be jetting round the universe willy nilly just like we do on earth.

Remember that centuries ago people rarely left their village in their lifetimes but gradually we got more curious/braver and clever enough to overcome barriers and explore.


Still loads in this village that have not ventured out side it........Like a frigging time warp here.
Can anyone tell me if the war is over yet!!!!

Nelson smashed the French and Spanish fleet at trafalgar and Napolean was eventually defeated at Waterloo. The rise of the Prussians is getting a little worrying but nothing that our great Royal Navy can't handle.

May not have genders as such - which will make it all the more entertaining, for some anyway.


Frost: Hey, I sure wouldn't mind getting some more of that Arcturian poontang! Remember that time?
Spunkmeyer: Yeah, Frost, but the one that you had was a male!
Frost: It doesn't matter when it's Arcturian, baby!

Can someone enlighten me on this: why does everyone assume that when we find Alien life, it will be intelligent or even self aware? For only a miniscule fraction of earth's history have there been humans walking the earth. Mostly it's been bacteria or at best quadrupeds.
I honestly would like the answer to this question, it's not rhetorical.

It's mainly about the probability I think. If there is life elsewhere, the probability is that it will be older than our short existence? Have a look at the link I posted on page 2. Really interesting summing up of all the theories and possibilities
