A Grain of Sand in a Sea of Stars.

[exial]

Ever seen that movie Men in Black where In the ending u see some sort of alien playing marbles with the milky way galaxy, as if our galaxy was a tiny star compared to all the possible galaxys out there. I mean what can we really claim to know? We have been to the moon.."not a very great accomplishment." but what if our galaxy was a grain of sand in a infinite sky of stars. I mean we would be naive to think that we are the only living creatures in a galaxy soo big it is simply beyond our ability to imagine. I mean when you look up at the night sky, and you see a bright shining star, there may be a creature on that star contless of light years away looking back at us. Hard to imagine? What if instead of travelling light speed you could instead jump dimensions. Teleport your energy to another point of the galaxy using nothing but your mind. Possible? In this universe of infinite possibilities nothing is impossible.

ya there are stars out there so massive if we put ours near it, ours just looks like a little dot

and these are only some of the ones we have seen

[numerator-91]

there are also many other galaxies out there

[exial]

countless galaxys... Infinite possibilities. Imagine all the life on other planets, if i ever wanted to be anything in life it would be a space explorer. Not a astraunat, thats too limited. But with the technology to just explore the stars. imagine...

[numerator-91]

astraunat
when sounded out makes as-trow-nat
i think you may have meant astronaut

[exial]

lol spell check..I got the point across that was my intention. Im not too worried about my spelling. But if u want i will let it be known that you do free spell checks. :D

[numerator-91]

no i just thought it was funny that you spelled it so wrongly. it if i can read it and comprehend it i wont bother pointing it out....unless it's funny

[Exploding_viper]

in my thoughts, the universe is constantly expanding from the big bang millions of millions of eons ago, it will constantly expand at different speeds, turnings darkness into systems of ice, gas, and rock that will eventualy form into stars and planets, but where, why and how would this would happen would change our scientific laws (ex. energy cannot be created nor destroyed) but if it still applies, then where is the energy to constantly create more coming from? does that mean the energy is drawn from somewhere else. maybe black holes actually absorb energy ad transport it, like a black hole absorbed a star so collosal that it made ours look like the pours on our skin, and in tern, created another existence that we are in, but ours is thousands of times smaller than the existence the colossal star is from.
!BLAM! im half asleep. its probly repetitive just a bit

[exial]

hmm...what if black holes were random teleport jumps in different points in the universe. A hole that within it is a wrinkle in space. A hole which might lead you to anywhere. Anywhere. Beyond everything. it could dump you into a sea of black. If there was ..lets say 1 billion black holes in the universe, when you pass through one it randomnizes the jump so you might end up Absolutley anywhere. Or no-where. It might just suck the life out of you and send you spinning into oblivion. I sometimes think a black holes purpose is to keep balance in a ever expanding galaxy.

Well in theory a black hole would create a large "ripple," if you will, in space time. With the warp you can travel through much space in little time. Think of a paper. Your point is to get from one side to the other. Now fold that paper in half, quarters, sixths, sevenths (if you can). Now notice how much easier it is to get from one side to the other. So not exactly telportation but close. The other theory is that black holes and white holes have a wormhole inbetween them in which you can do the same thing.

[Durandal4]

Why do we always search for "intelligent" life. Or why is it we're always the inferior species to the alien invaders. Just once I want us to be the terrifying aliens and invade another planet.

Other than that, I think I'd be happy with any form of life on other planets. Do we assume that "intelligent" means able to communicate or able to survive? If it was trace amounts of amoeba on another planet I think I'd be pretty stoked to hear about it.

[exial]

I think that other life forms with the capability to travel to our galaxy has the means to destroy us without a second thought. So maybe our world leaders are trading advanced technology for material they cant get in their world. How would we know. Take the tv for example. Or the internet. You think that humans would be able to create something so complex and intricate without the help of an outside source. I believe if it wasnt for some other being from another galaxy we would still be stuck in the stone age.

[numerator-91]

now have a little faith in your own genetic make-up

[Durandal4]

lol kinda reminds me of Alien Vs. Predator, because without the help of the Predators, we wouldn't have any type of civilization or technology.

But I think that we're capable of advancing without outside help. It seems as though we we're meant to adapt to, or change the environment to how we see fit, even if it requires a little technological advancement. Plus, we all have the innate ability of always wanting better for ourselves so I don't think human nature would have ever allowed us to stay in the stone age.

[Exploding_viper]

hmm never heard of white holes

[Shanx]

In this universe of infinite possibilities nothing is impossible.

And in there lies my old signature that I still believe and never will sop believing in. :D

[exial]

And that to me is a true statement. The only true thing i have ever "truly" claimed i believed in this cookbook. That "In this universe of infinite possibilities nothing is impossible."

[RAV]

Have you read Michio Kaku's Physics of the impossible. I have read some and it is really good and I would suggest it.

Do you people really doubt that one person could not be more advanced then the others and cause the others to advance? We may not know how some ancients did some things but we are stupid, compared to the knowledge that is out there, look to Shanx if you don't understand.

The communicating to "intelligent" life forms is used as a term for "capable of transmitting and receiving radio signals" They transmit on many signals but the most predominant is 14.7Hz, the resonance frequency of Hydrogen. If any one signal is going to get a response it is this.

We can not be the invading evil aliens, simply because we can not travel that far. If you can get 99.99999...% of the speed of light you can get somewhere almost instantly. Look to my light and relativity section. On there I will post my report so that others can review it after I get it graded. (so about June lol)

[Dracus124]

Look at this way.

A trillion years from now, nothing we do now will ever mean anything.

[Odeken]

You think thats true? Everything we do means something to the advancement of everything. Think about how the invention of the chariot means nothing to us now, but it was the spawn of ideas of people that came before its time. Now we have other ways of transportation and do not use horses unless its for pleasure in this country. We got these transportation ideas from previous ones. Just like using an airplane now might spawn the advancement of a more efficient travel system. Experimenting with different fuels has spawned the use of more different kinds of fuels. What we do now in our time will mean everything for the production of society.

well said odeken. Every technological, idealistic advancement wouldent be possible without the mind of an individual contributing to the advancment of the whole aka society. So i have to agree with both of ur views. A trillion years from now we might not even exist so everything that has led us to our current position on the earth means nothing, becuz we have ceased to exist. But like okeden said - every action we take whether it be primitive or advanced it moves us forward as a thriving human civilization. Everything in the past that has created something revoutionary helps spawn the ideas to advance and thus create something extrodanary, that wouldnt be possible without the past creation of the individual contributing to the whole, Consiously contributing or unconciously contributing. Holds no import becuz as odeken said "Everything we do means something to the advancement of everything."
