that's a whole lot of bands in this thread I never heard of. I was planning on buying the new Greenday album, and i might get this "Lamb" album at
the same time, but...Who is it by?
BTW I think the latest Coldplay CD is sweet!

Xtra-terrestrials...what are your thoughts?
by Bas in.
well i don't believe in ufo's and abductions and that sort of thing but i do believe more that there must be extraterrestrial intelligence than i believe in the existance of a god.. i used to visit this site to read about the thoughts of serious scientists on the subject, it's the us-government sponsored project of seti:.

Here's some info on the TPF I was talking about earlier: (It's scheduled to be launched somewhere between 2012-2015, not 2007 like I said earlier)
Also you might want to check these pages on the NASA website:
http://planetquest.jpl.nasa.gov/TPF/tpf_index.html
This page is rather technical however and might be a little boring.

Worldly! LMFAO..
And no one wants to worship a god that can't kill as many folks as that phony Muslim god over there in them sand countries."
Thanks for the Article STEVE, it was a more "balanced" read than Worldly's (still laughing)

I could also recommend "come find yourself" by "the fun lovin' criminals" And "by the way" by the "red hot chillie peppers"

Hey Preston, thinking of what you said about traveling to other universes, you'd have to travel through time to do that.
Anyway, a couple of years ago I came across this hubble research; They had pointed the Hubble space telescope to a black part of the
sky and expected to find nothing. Then to their astonishment they found perfectly formed starsystems at a distance of 30 billion lightyears.
30 billion lightyears is older then the calculated age of the universe, so the scientists were puzzled, they thought they had calculated the
wrong age for the Univers. What I think now, is that they might have been peeking into a previous universe. (and this defies the common
consensus within the world of physics because the scientists agreed for a long time that there would be no way, ever that they could say
something about what was before the Big Bang)

Well New Worldly, then God may have made this Alien Universe for his amusement, who knows?
What I'd like to get my head around is what was there before the big bang?
I think it would be reasonable to assume there was a "big Crunch" of another Universe which collapsed under it's own weight/gravity.
The same fate might actually await our own Universe, the expansion of it is slowing as we speak.
BTW, for those who don't know: In the early 20th century, scientists found out that pretty much all stars are moving away from us.
The farther the star the faster they are moving away, you can see this because of Red-shift of those stars.
The Red-shift means that the light produced by the stars is of lower frequency then expected; it becomes red.
It's like the doppler effect: like when a ambulance passes you the frequency of their sirens becomes lower because the ambulance is
moving away from you. Anyway when they found out that the Stars are moving apart the astronomers started calculating and they found
that all stars must have been in the same spot about 20 billion years ago. That's when they figured that the universe is not that old and
that it came into existence with a big bang.

appreciate you input Hecklerboy , In fact, whole civilisations could have become extinct before we came along.
This actually might be more likely if interstellar travel proves impossible (it certainly seems impossible from where I'm standing).
Anyway if we are not become capable of interstellar travel ourselves in the next millenium or so, our chances of long term survival
might diminish considerably. (implying that colonizing another planet would increase our longterm survival prospects by spreading our bets)
But for now, our live times and this century, I don't see us flying of to alpha-centauri colonizing a earthlike planet.
The distances our simply to vast. Even at lightspeed it would take years to get to the nearest stars. And as you might know,
according to Einstein's theory of reletavity it's not possible to travel at lightspeed.
What is encouring though, is that over the last couple of years astronomers have been finding large planets (comparable to Jupiter, Saturn)
circling stars. At this point in time however it's still impossible to find small earthlike planets because they're too small to detect.
Detecting earthlike planets will become possible in the next decade as a sattelite called the TPF (Terrestrial Planet Finder) will be
launched, I believe in 2007, but I'll get back to you on that.

What's more is that in 2003 a big earthquake struck Bam, Iran...on...you guessed it, the day after Xmas.
I don't know if it should mean anything, just noticed the coincidence. What do you think the WT makes of this? Or the Muslims for that matter.

At this very moment I'm listening to Bush's "razorblade suitcase" (all the tricks of the trade)
