Aliens are real?

Who's to say

The usual suspects.

They might.

Nothing can be disproved. It doesn't therefore mean everything is possible.

It gets over the patronising hurdle that noseall put in place though.

Distances of thousands of light years could be covered in moments, if the ability to bend space time was available. Apparently, doing so is theoretically possible.
Who's to say that some life form, some civilization somewhere in the universe doesn't have the technology to do it.
They might.

Is that what they did in Dune?

1000 tons, and able to actually transport them over distances, I think not.



I invited you to explain how a relatively primitive people, managed to achieve that, you have repeatedly failed to do that. It remains a truly remarkable achievement that they did so, assuming they managed it, even more of an achievement, if they managed it in the 20 years reported. It just doesn't hang together, in my mind.

Don’t waste your time, he’ll miss bits out and lie to you.

He’s a massive sausage.

No. They 'farsensed' a route through space-time using Spice to accentuate their prescience. It radically changed their physiognomy and made them totally reliant on spice to live within a specially adapted tank.
Paul Atreides had no need of such a device as he was the 'Kwisatz Haderach' with the ability to use Spice to see "everything, everywhere, all at once", thus rendering the Guild powerless when he became Emperor.

I'm glad we're finally taking this stuff seriously instead just using Aliens as some sort of interstellar subcontracting group of brickies.

Dune is seriously good sci-fi, though.
I wish they'd pay more attention to the ecological paradigm within the books.
They end up transforming Arrakis into a lush planet for plantlife but end up reducing the number of worms producing the Spice neccesary to enable interstellar travel. A paradox only solved by Paul's son, Leto, becoming a demi-god.
Gadzook's! i'm such a nerd.

Aliens are Real. I was in Todmorden yesterday afternoon, and some folk there believe in it - they were certainly spaced out enough on whtever it is they grow up there. But that's why the area is called Happy Valley. Oddest part of Yorkshire I know - and I've worked in Pontefract!

'The licorice triangle'; a bit like Bermuda without the beaches.

Happy valley is a fictional place, but Todmorden definitely has its fair share of characters.

It’s a bit like a hippy community.

What about Hebden Bridge?
