lol good point corrijean. new planet between mars and jupiter. nice. that explains them downgrading pluto to a moon. got to keep it at nine :) fricken nasa bastards
nothing to see here
As a species' habitat moves north, the individuals become larger and less numerous. For example, the deer in Texas are smaller and more numerous than the deer in Wisconsin. Of course, this can be afected by hunting laws and destruction of habitat.
This phenomenon occurs due to the fact that larger animals maintain body temperature more easily than smaller ones. I am not prepared to address lifespan at this time.
The odds of intelligent life not existing in great numbers throughout the universe are very realistically one in an inconceivable number.
Take a look at this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pumapunku
This ancient temple is at least 5000 years old. And, could be,however unlikely, nearly 10,000 years old(the end of the last ice age).Thus, it is as old(probably much older)as the pyramids of giza. But, the stones used here are not granite. They are -diorite- (harder than steel). One of which weighs an estimated 131 METRIC TONS....LOL. Rap you mind around that; i dont think so! And, these stones are cut with a level of precision far superior to the pyramids. Precision which could not be duplicated by modern diamond technology. It would be impossible to reproduce pumapunku with modern technology. Yet, somehow, stone age people managed to successfully accomplish it during the neolithic period.
Exactly my point, thank you for the ray of light.
isnt there an equation out there? think i saw it once. number of planets in the universe/number of habitable planets/ chance of producing intelligent life/ chance of that intelligent life not destroying itself/chance of that intelligent life advancing to a stage of technology able to leave their planet
something like that
then add into the equation the ability to go faster than the speed of light to travel to other solar systems thousands of light years away
not very likely sorry to say
more likely the neolithic guys had a genius stone cutter or at least a very patient one
An equation? You mean a formula. Not that I know of. There are rough estimates of the number of potential stars within the cosmic particle horizon. But they are based on other estimates such as mass density and are not very reliable. The cosmic particle horizon(the edge of the visible universe) does not contain,by any stretch of the imagination,the entire universe.
"add into the equation the ability to go faster than the speed of light to travel to other solar systems thousands of light years away".
Not exactly, it was actually proven(almost a hundred years ago) that motion is not even necessary for traveling a given distance(time is relative and velocity=distance/time). It has also experimentally been proven that the entire universe exists in many different places at the same time;wave-particle duality is an example. Are these things that you understand?
Besides, regardless of whether or not extraterrestrials are visiting earth. You are not going to explain how hunter gatherers were transporting and cutting diorite stones weighing 131 metric tons. Evidence suggests contrary to your beliefs!
never said it did. of course those stars are so far away theyve probably burned out by now
Is that so? Those stars (or the material from which they were formed)actually reached that distance(as far as the universe is old in light years;20 or so billian) -correction- in much less than a second after "the beginning of time". That is, the entire universe reached "infinite" size in only a few seconds...The universe at this distance would probably look much like we see it locally.
I can just imagine those poor scared Annunaki on NIbiru:
OMG! there's a new planet between Mars and Venus! Let's call it Earth. And the beings who live there are called humans. And they are responsible for everything we can't explain!
Can anyone here think of anything more complicated than the human organism?
You would have a better chance of building a house of cards by throwing them over your shoulder. Than you would producing an intelligence absent of intelligence.

I finally figured out the real purpose of this thread; making physicists cry.

Go ahead, enlighten me! When was it? The eclipse of 1916? When light from a distant star was shown to be bent by the suns gravity. In fact it was the space that was being bent.
Talk to us a little about it quarky! While you're at it, tell us a little about the double slit experiment! And, what it means! Oh, and tell us about schrodingers and heisenbergs equations. And what they mean!
Tell me the relationship between these -two- equations. f=ma and e=mc^2... How does "c" affect "a"? And how does this affect v=d/t?
BTW, did you know,that if you could come to a complete stop with respect to the cosmic background radiation. You would be moving with a velocity well over a million miles per hour,with respect to the universe? In reallity,you could not distiguish whether you or the universe was in motion!
Didnt think so! Motion can only be defined in terms of an arbitrarily designated frame of reference. There are, in all probability, many places throughout the universe. Where light-years could be traversed instantly;without motion and without time.
Yes. The universe. Plus, most organisms are pretty equivalent in complexity to humans.
The known universe doesn’t even come close to the complexity of the mind which perceives it. Nothing conceivable to the human mind can exceed the complexity of the human mind.
Anyway,there is more evidence to suggest extraterrestrials have visited earth. Than there is evidence of the existence of Jesus or Muhammad! In fact,there is no real evidence at all to suggest that Jesus ever existed. Yet, most are willing to believe this nonsense!

I think lifespan is most often related to the size of the creature, not the length of time a planet takes to revolve around the sun.
