vystral Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 in response to the poll... Recently, a neutron star exploded about 50,000 light years away. (half of our galaxy) The star was said to be just bigger than New York City. The explosion disrupted our atmosphere, interrupting satellite transmissions. Recall now that this explosion was 50,000 light years away, and it was still able to affect us. If there is life out there, there might not be anymore. A neutron star is the remnant of a star that was once several times more massive than the Sun. When their nuclear fuel is depleted, they explode as a supernova. The nearest neutron star of the type that exploded (magnestar) to us is less than 10,000 light years away. Should this explode, the shockwave would certainly cause mass extinction. The magnetic field around a magnestar is about 1,000 trillion gauss, strong enough to strip information from a credit card at a distance halfway to the Moon.

bigtaff Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 THIS UNIVERSE IS TO VAST FOR US TO EVEN THINK WE ARE ALONE. WE CAN'T EVEN EXPLORE OUR OWN SOLAR SYSTEM YET LET ALONE GALAXY! THERES TALK THAT ONE OF THE MOONS AROUND JUPITER (AN ICE PLANET) COULD HAVE LIFE SO IF WE EVER GET INTO THAT GALAXY OF OURS I THINK THERES GONNA BE A S**T LOAD!

trekfreak04 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I think that we are effectively alone on Earth' date=' until such time as we can develop ways of spanning interstellar distances efficiently [b']AND[/b] learning to co-exist with each other, on this planet, in a sustainable lifestyle, that still incorporates scientific and technological development. Humanity as a whole will never come together until a hostile alien force posses such a threat as to wipe all of us out, or perhaps enslave all of us. .......Then people's attitudes will change. Not one second before. :stare: And when everyone on this planet is finally in agreement, it will be TOO LATE! That's what bugs me the most...

PhoenixAsh Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 With the utter absence of any empirical proof to the contrary I had to vote yes. This brings to mind a conversation I had w/ a physicist who visited the campus where I work. I brought the entire idea of space travel up to him and his opinion was it would never' date=' ever, be possible due to whole mass approaching the speed of light = infinite mass (or weight) thing fom Einstein's equations. Thus from his point of view we are alone, for all practical purposes, since interstellar travel is effectively impossible. This means we will never have the wherewithal to make contact w/ any other species. Depressing but probably accurate. Of course I predict one day we'll build a ship which approaches the speed of of light and reenact the big bang.[/quote'] I myself am involved with astronomy and know for a fact that some of Einstain laws were slightly rewriten and it is proven that speed of light it not a constant it actually changes traveling through diferent parts of space... And you know that speed of light with mass is a lot of bull**** cos Star Trek(although SC-FI) has preditced many tehnologyes, warp is a form of field that in star trek is not a constant with normal space is a form of subspace where mass and speed of light are not beheving the same,and there is proof to that even now as I said about the speed of light...you know couple a years ago they actually suceeded in transporting a single molecule via some kind of laser (beam-transporter)..so I think some time not very far from now is possible to develop space travel on multilple speeds of light... So yes, there are sencient beeings and life in our galaxsy and space... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixAsh Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Sorry guys' date=' i voted yes because i think that if we are not alone we should have had some sort of contact with something. We've been on this rock for two thousand years + and nothing has happened or will. Sorry but thats just regular fact strange as it is. But anyway maybe if we do colonize other planets their will be other species like us in a few million years. But other than that i think that even if their was life eslewere why would they even bother maybe they are just watching but they have a strict policy that won't allow them to allow direct contact with us. Or maybe they could be more primitive than we are. [/quote'] Do you even know where Sol system is in the gallaxy it's on the edge very far from cluster of stars and the center...and how far we might be from other sentient lifeworm (even the ones with the abilty for space travel).

So yes, there are sencient beeings and life in our galaxsy and space... I read about the possibility of transporting a single piece of matter. Although I dont think it was a molecule. It was very small particle that they managed to transport. Although particle physics is kinda tricky business. You can almost do anything with them. The coolest thing I would like to see in a real physics lab would be a positron and an electron anhilating one another. That is some cool stuff!!

the6ofpopes Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 I think the big question is "WHAT IS THE UNIVERSE???" My theory is our universe is nothing more than a small explosion like that of a firecracker. We are within that explosion & time itself is what allows us to exist. While the explosion may only last a split second from start to finish. The passage of time for anything within the explosion could be billions of years. Once the explosion reaches it's apex it will then collapse in on itself & cease to exist. This theory runs parallel to the big bang theory. http://www.umich.edu/~gs265/bigbang.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
