Fred McGriff Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 i mean seriously. i know i'm kind of preaching to the choir here. but do you realize how massive the universe is? it's literally unfathomable. the human mind cannot even comprehend. we are but a fart in the wind. seriously who really thinks that all the skads and skads of stars and planets and moons and all that shit is out there for decoration. (watching "journey to the edge of the universe" right now on Nat Geo. narrated by Alec Baldwin no less. his voice acting skills have put my convictions about intelligent life out there completely over the top!) what does this mean though because obviously it means nothing to us right now at this point in time because we are weak fart-in-the-wind humans. i mean we havent even mastered nuclear fission yet. come on, who hasn't done that yet in the universe? one thing i like to imagine is the probability of a solar system out there that has two close planets with intelligent life, and they get to contact each other, and have their fucking minds blown out of their asses at the total WTFness. and they have to rewrite their religions. or at least do a little recallibrating. anyway it makes me long for a higher power. i want the answers. i'm not going to get to know the universe in my lifetime. sure would be nice to know in the afterlife! *crosses fingers* *seppuku* thank you alec baldwin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest glasse Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 i remember an episode of Silverhawks where they reached the edge of the universe, and there was an angel there who was like "you have reached the edge of the universe, you can come through (to heaven i presume) or go back" of course they went back because they were on some mission i forget i was 12. anyone else remember this?

Guest Blanket Fort Collapse Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 if we somehow the only type of intelligent life in this universe as incomprehensible as it may seem to a rational brain aware of the possibilities, there is definitely much more top shelf life in different dimensions or something along those lines.

Guest Enter a new display name Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Questioning our own uniqueness as human beings has always been for me one of the deepest philosophical/scientific topics. Unfortunately, if we ever get in contact with an extraterrestrial species, I doubt this is going to be as fascinating as it sounds (war, discrimination, etc.). Plus, if the another civilization in outer space looked like us and spoke english, like in Stargate, that would be quite disappointing when it comes to our feeling of being like no other species.

chaosmachine Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Today a young man on paint thinner realized that all matter is just energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we are the imagination of ourselves.

Guest Babar Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 If you consider we are not alone in the universe there is lot of chances that we are not the first. Thus if life appeared on planet X a little million years ahead of earth, they are potentially one million years ahead of our technology. Unless there is no way to travel faster than light, they must be visiting us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 i'm sure earth is the dumb planet that nobody ever visits because "hey they're so stupid they don't even know we exist!".. and ufo sightings etc are just alien teenagers going for a joyride, like cosmic cow-tipping or something.

azatoth Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 maybe there is a planet populated by nothing but Alec Baldwins out there wouldn't an infinite universe imply that. anything that can happen, will happen. then again i don't know if the universe is infinite, is there a consensus on this. i think the latest thing discoverd is that the universe is flat and is going to expand forever. one sad thought about life in the universe, what if we are the first ever life that has popped up in this universe. life is estimated to have been around for 3.5 billion years, with only the last 100 (?) million year with advanced life. i sure hope not we're not the first ones. it's not likely is it with the universe being 13.7 billion years old, right? i would love for aliens to appear like some independence day shit and just flat out say to us what fuckups we really are, fighting over arbitrary lines on a map or over imaginary things in the sky and pretty much ruining the only place we can live on.
