NASA
Are we alone in the universe or not? You decide.
The American space agency is being accused of cutting the live feed to the International Space Station to cover up ...well, a UFO.
UFO hunters raised the alarm after the Nasa camera went dead as something large and unusual was spotted entering Earth's atmosphere on July 9.
Video of the event was posted on YouTube by Streetcap1, who went on to admit "this could well be a meteor or the like.
Alien enthusiasts claimed it was the latest in a series of cuts to the feed - all occurring when strange objects appeared. But Nasa denied there was anything sinister going on

 

Either we are alone in the universe or we're not. Both possibilities are equally mind blowing.

 

You mind is easily blown!

 

It is inconceivable that we are alone in the universe. But it's a very big place, and even if it is densely populated the chances of bumping into another lot are tiny, even over millions of years.

Why a big red circle would want to visit us is an interesting question though. Inclined to believe NASA on this one.

 

Maybe. Does this topic not really interest you?

 

No

 

The vastness of our galaxy alone is almost unimaginable. One of millions of galaxies, seperated from each other by distances that takes light hundreds, thousands and millions of years to cover, travelling through space, which can't be measured by us because 14billion years isn't enough time for it's light to have reached us.

I don't think we're alone. The big red circle has arrived.

 

Good.

 

I thought I'd read something about this last month, obviously the 'Men in Black' stepped in on this one...

 

I tend to believe that ours isn't the only life in the universe.
However, there is quite a strong argument that the conditions that created life here are so unique that it may not have happened anywhere else.

 

I suspect that if we have been/ are being/ will ever be visited by intelligent life capable of travelling the vast distances involved we would either know about it instantly, no cover up possible, or never know about it, because they don't want us to. But why come here? Especially now the season ticket window is closed, and we haven't signed a 'proven' goal scorer........

 

But there are for all intents and purposes infinite other chances for the right conditions to happen elsewhere Col. And it's only our own imaginations that lead us to limit life to planets like ours.

 

I think I've read that there are something like 2000 planets currently known about in the Milky Way which are of similar distance from their star as we our to ours. 2000 chances for water, appropriate temperatures and atmospheres etc. If no such conditions exist in our galaxy, there are millions, or potentially an infinite number of other galaxies, each possibly with thousands or millions of similar chances. Surely!

 

To learn from our mistakes, 2 chances at the top table wasted and huge debt incurred.

 

I know.
It was professor Brian Cox who was suggesting that, even after all the building blocks are in place, there is still a huge chance that life won't happen.
Maybe it needs God to intervene?

There you go..........












(I don't believe in a religious God, but I do tend to believe that there is a creative intelligence behind the beginning of the universe)

 

I've always said, everything evolves around Uranus.

 

Evolves?

 

Has anyone asked TEd if we cannot get a big black centre forward, will a green one do?

 

That explains the Big Bang, it's around Aussie's anus!

 

I watched a interesting film titled "The big bang"
