Excellent! I was a bit disappointed though. I scrolled to the far left and couldn't see Ronnie Corbett anywhere.

Have a look at this video which demonstrates how really really insignificant the Earth is. It is an incredible compilation and gives me goose bumps every time I watch it.

We can't be alone.

There must be life out there millions of years ahead of ours, god help us if there not friendly.

They can't get to us though, the rules of the universe forbid it.

 

[HERTS P&D]

If they are millions of years ahead of us then they can easily get through, man couldn't get off the ground 110 years ago, (wright brothers)now we can fly at super sonic speed. That's only in 110 years, think what we can do in a 1000 years. Let alone in a million.

None of the things we've done break the rules of science. That's the difference. We were always going to fly - but not exceed light speed.

 

[Alarm]

Can you prove that ? ( Bet he cannot ).

 

[joe-90]

The proof is in the laws themselves. If you can break a law of science - do it. (he won't).

Surely the laws of science are only a figment of some ones fertile mind.

They are the natural rules of our universe. The universe follows the same rules as does everything that's in it.
