Heard about this a few weeks ago, but only just got around to finding a link.

Bet it's the Death Star. Star Wars comes true.

If it is, it's the (very) big brother of the original.

I can see it now ... ships full of aliens heading towards earth, images of dead baby aliens washed up on the moon, Merkel welcoming them with open arms, unrest in District 9, more threads in DIYnot.

Admin better upgrade the server package.

Aid money is already on its way to their Planets...

Considering the size of the Universe, it would be unusual if our planet was the only one supporting life.

No it wouldn't.

 

[gas112]

and why wouldnt it be EFL ?

 

[EFLImpudence]

Well, if that's the way it is - we are the only life in the universe - then that would be the usual, wouldn't it?

I think Tony meant unlikely.

We could be one, or just one of others. Each is equally likely.

The Universe could be unusual or usual

The Universe could be unusual or usual

As it's the only one we have it cannot be unusual.

You sure about it being the only universe ELF ?

And all the trades on this forum up in arms, when the general public discovers that the aliens do plumbing, electrics etc better, and charge less.

Anyway, they wouldn't be the first aliens to arrive, some of the regulars here live on another planet.

No, but you cannot talk of our universe being unusual because it is as it is - whatever that may be.
