[quoteost_uid0="SolidSnake76"][quoteost_uid0="UnknownFear"]Did you just say you know how to travel the speed of light :laugh:
Funny what you gonna do tie scramjets to a bus[/quote]
i MIGHT know how. MIGHT. not 'i know how to travel faster than light.'

have anyone ever heard of ion engines?[/quote]
um... those are still in the development stages

Snake, the fastest outerspace travel able by man right now... is called "solar sailing".

It uses a gigantic sail, that in essence, gathers the outward energy of the sun. They are sending up a satilite in 2005 that will be using this method, it will move over 5x faster than any rocket we've ever invented.

[princevegetam]

well, we could always go to the antimatter and laser propulsion theories, or better yet, the stargate

[Tantum]

lolol

#1) Joe, I didn't say the Radio Satilites detect life, they detect radio communication, i.e. radio transmitters.

You never said that. You just said "There are no aliens anywhere near us, because if there was, we would have found them by now using our radio satellites and we have 27 of them in a big Y-formation".

And it IS ENTIRELLY POSSIBLE that the aliens may use something more advanced than radio waves, so advanced that they can't be picked up by our radio satellites.

#2) It is highly doubtful that there's no way they could have copied the "alien" egineering.

Why? You're giving our human race too much credit. That's like saying, "if we left a car in the middle of the jungle, would the Gorillas be able to re-create it?" No, because they're too primitive to understand our technology. Maybe its the same with us. Maybe, with all our smarts, we're too primitive to figure our alien technology

#3) Why are you makng this an arguement about if the are aliens or not. I do believe in life outside of our planet, but if they came here already, we would have scanned them already and / or made some sort of meaningful contact with them.

Scanned them? dubya tee eff? And once more, you're trying to act as if you're STATING a fact, when in fact you don't know. And maybe the "meaningful" contact you speak of has already, happened, but the ppl they made contact with just don't remember it.

Look up the case of Betty and Barney Hill.

I'm talking about alien abduction. While the patient is under a hypnotic state, the hypnotist asks them questions. Hypnosis allows one to reach into their SUBconscious and recall details they could not have remembered otherwise. This is the most useful tool scientists have to use to separate the hoaxers from real life. There have been instances where the patient is lying, and they'll say it outright in the hypnotic state. HOwever, there are many occasions where the patient will definately recall a type of alien abduction. And the subconscious CANNOT lie.

I'm just trying to bring the scientific facts into the conversation, and the main facts are... if they found us, chances are, we found them. And it's not just a government cover-up, because i highly doubt if there were aliens here, only the US would know about it.

That's not entirely so. Human beings have been walking this earth for around 60 MILLION years. Yet, scientists are discovering new specie of animals ON OUR OWN PLANET that we didn't know exist. If we can't even know of the existance of animals on OUR OWN PLANET, I'm pretty sure chances are that we wouldn't be able to make contact with extraterrestrial life.

And like I said, maybe the aliens don't want us to find them, but they want to study us instead; the alien abductions is their version of "going into the field, bringing a specimen back for study, then releasing it". They then wipe out the victim's memory, so they can't cause mass panic and potentially expose the aliens

Lets say, yes... there has been an alien landing here, and it was confirmed by the US Government, ok? The most armed country in the world. Why wouldn't we start making weapons to defend against alien invaders? We've already wasted trillions on "just incase" defense, why not more?

How bout this one, if these aliens are so powerful, and all knowing. They can't be detected, and they move at super speeds, why the hell would they be crashing in the desert?

So the chances that there have been aliens here recently, are very slim. I wish i could give you a scientific estimate... but i honestly don't know. Pretty hard to find info, ya know

But if I were to guess, I'd say, about 1/1,000,000,000 probably higher.

I'm with you on part of that, Tantum. I DO believe that the US would indeed have tried to build a defense against a possible alien invasion THAT MAY NEVER COME. It IS possible that the alien that crashed simply did that--crashed. And the US couldn't spend trillions trying to mass produce alien warfare, because they can't get that much money without taking a majority of it from the general public at large. And the last thing the govt. wants is the entire US public in a state of panic over an alien attack that maybe NEVER will come.

And why did they crash in the desert? Well, it IS possible that the US govt (in their constant state of paranoia), chased the ship with a few US fighter planes, and shot it down. Or it could be that the alien plane was the target of a strange atmospheric phenomena (ie, ball lightning, solar radiation). Or, just maybe, the alien craft ran out of "gas". Who the hell knows? All I know is that the night before it crashed, the ppl of Roswell reported a LOT of strange activity in the sky, strange lights maneuvering back and forth...and at least one farmer reported seeing it crash into the desert. The next day, the military was ALL OVER IT.

P.S. I do believe aliens could have been on earth before, but the chances are very very slim, considering they haven't made any contact in recorded history, and we haven't detected anything.

That's not what you originally said. THIS IS WHAT YOU ORIGINALLY SAID, and I quote:

Have they come to Earth, no... will they? Maybe in about ten thousand years

I see your'e changing your story now...

Oh yeah, as for the idea... that "what if they don't use radio waves anymore?"

All waves of the electromagnetic spectrum move at the speed of light for eternity in space, the only way that we would not have detected alien radio waves, is if they have passed by us already... which is actually not impossible.

You just contradicted yourself (or something). You just said that if they didn't use radio waves anymore, their radio waved could have passed us by now. If they didn't use RADIO waves, then WE NEVER WOULD HAVE DETECTED THEIR RADIO WAVES, WOULD WE, SINCE THEY DON'T USE THEM?

Therefore, the statement stands: they may use some other forms of communication. Maybe they use something far more advanced than radio waves. Or maybe (and this is a big maybe), they have some slight telepathic abilities, and have created technology to allow them to communicate telepathically over great distances

True, it's not out of the question that the waves passed us. But it is out of the question that the US government found an alien spaceship back in the 50's, and never built any defense, just incase they came looking.

You don't KNOW that they haven't built a defense. Maybe the US govt already has, but doesn't want to let the rest of the US know about it, because they'd be risking a public outcry

well, we could always go to the antimatter and laser propulsion theories, or better yet, the stargate

Lol...the Stargate. But the antimatter/laser propulsion theories have yet to be tested, and therefore MAY be something we should keep our eye on.

Now, back to aliens

[princevegetam]

what?! i don't get what's so funny with the stargate

are you guys implying that i watch too much television?

it is quite possible that our only way of travel in the future is the stargate. it is very efficient and powerful.

[UnknownFear]

Wormholes and sleep chambers
Like 2001 Space Oddysey

[coolplayer2K2]

well there is 28 galaxys wich is ALOT so i say yea aliens,and venoms are real

[Tantum]

No, Joe... I was implying the fact that maybe some alien race from a billion years ago passed earth by, that's possible.
When I said no, they haven't come here yet, I meant in documented history. Sorry for not clarifying that :angryfire: .

As for the Gorilla theory, that makes no sense. Gorillas have no concept of science at all. It's not the same as comparing educated humans to aliens. and how the hell do you even know that any alien race is smarter than us? Sadly it's possible we are the form of life with the highest intelligence so far.

60 million years? Homo Sapiens have been around for less than 1 million years.

And there's no f'ing way the government could keep any large defense project a secret for so long, and you know it!

Radio Waves- If they don't use them anymore, that doesnt mean we can't detect them.

Ok, let's say... They are 100,000 light years away, and they stopped using radio waves 20,000 years ago, guess what, their waves will still keep coming, for 80,000 years (considering they used them for all time before the 20,000)

Stop arguing with me, it's not going anywhere, it's just a lateral arguement at this point, we both gave our facts and theories, and there is no reason to argue about it anymore.

love, not war... :buttrock:


:laughlong: :laughlong:

[princevegetam]

uh.... no


there has been many theories concerning extra-terrestrial life and a grid/graph type thing has been made to classify intelligence. i forgot what it was called but on the graph, humans are considered quite "dumb" on the graph.

and you are judging the gorilla's intelligence from a higher level of intelligence. gorilla are smart enough perform simple tasks and that can be considered science for them, but you consider this not as science. well, other alien races could consider our unsophesticated scientific achievements as "simple tasks".
