We have to be indeed very careful about words like life, aliens or other potential fascist liberal imagery in this for political narcissist purposes.
The Bible promised the Jews to multiply as the stars in the sky if they followed God.
That is good sensical enough for me, but common sense is too boring for crooks and sophisticate atheists.
MJ-12, anyone?
Yeah, there's a ton of fascinating data from the late 40s through the late 50s about that very subject. Some of it is tough to dismiss out of hand. Read Major Donald Keyhoe's early books about the subject. Very no-nonsense and straight forward reporting of hundreds of military accounts. Riveting stuff.
I'm actually not sure what to think about the MJ-12 stuff. I read the first report about it when it began to circulate in the mid 80s. It all sounds very credible, but tough to prove. Darn near impossible, in fact.
To be fair, the fuzzballs didn't take down the evil leader; Luke & Darth did. The fuzzballs didn't take down the entire might of a galactic empire; the Rebel Alliance did.
What the fuzzballs did take down was about a hundred stormtroopers wearing ultra-tech armor and armed with blasters, not to mention three AT-ST walkers, using nothing but stone age technology...which is bad enough, but not quite as bad as what you said!
Attack of the Clones, while awful, is a better film than ROJ.
It's the least bad of the prequels, I'll give it that...not that that's saying much.
lol. We are secretly ruled by alien Hitlers. Christopher Columbus was one of them and part of the conspiracy to enslave American Indians and drink their blood. They are a progressist advanced ascending race of super scientists going beyond the traditional classical pure race descendency concepts of Herr Hitler.
All hail Al Sharpton.
Now why didn't I think of that? I'll race ya to the patent office! LOL
Actually, I think you're onto something with that. Makes perfect sense.
I actually think a case can be made for a combination of Intelligent Design and Darwin’s theory of evolution. I don’t think they’re mutually exclusive.
Point taken, but who knows what variables might interfere with such a transmission through deep space?
Could ordinary dust particles, dark matter, or dark energy diminish the strength of such impulses? What about gamma rays and other energetic stellar phenomena? Space is filled with them.
I'm liking Nully's idea about quantum entanglement. Instantaneous transmission without interference at any distance.
Works for me.
(I'm too tired to argue too :-)
The argument that, since the universe is so vast that it is a certainty that life must have developed somewhere else is a completely empty argument. First of all, no one knows how life can develop from non-life. We absolutely do not know how.
Since amino acids have been discovered in space, some people argue that the universe is big enough so that amino acids could randomly associate the proteins necessary for life. The universe is big, but not nearly big enough. We estimate there to be about 200 billion galaxies in the universe, each with approx 200 billion stars. The total number of atoms in the universe is about 10 to the 80th power.
The smallest molecule that classifies as a protein requires a chain of amino acids 81 units long. The number of 81 unit amino acid combinations in this smallest of all proteins is 10 to the 129th power.
Suppose that all the atoms in the universe were not atoms but were amino acids instead. Further suppose that every amino acid anywhere in the universe could combine with any other amino acid and that the universe was working full-time assembling 81 unit amino acid chains, a thousand times per second ever since the universe began 13.7 billion years ago.
The universe would have been able to try about ten to the 98th power combinations meaning that the universe is about ten billion, billion, trillion times too small or too young. The universe is unimaginably tiny compared to the random odds of producing life. So just saying the universe is big isn’t enough. It can’t happen by random processes.
There *must* be some other force at work or else there just isn’t any other life out there. It is intellectual fraud to present non-zero odds for life elsewhere in the universe at this point in time. We have no evidence of extra-terrestrial life whatsoever, and we don’t even have a theory about how life can form from non-life. So these statements of certainty that there is other life out there are based one-hundred percent on faith and only faith.
Nothing wrong with faith. But scientists shouldn’t pretend that they are basing there estimates on science when they are based solely and completely on faith.
We're supposed to believe that somebody who murdered hundreds of little kids in the Jedi Citadel, to say nothing of the casual murder of more or less any military or bureaucratic functionary who got in his way, is "persuaded" to amend his evil ways over the course of a few seconds of confrontation between his kid and his boss. A kid, by the way, whose hand he's previously cut off.
Actually less credible than superluminal travel through spacetime. And that's saying something.
“I am wondering too, everyone knows the Shadow Government exclusively deals with aliens and is the only agency that is allowed to deal with these matters.”
[ Are you being sarcastic, or do you actually believe that? ]
If I said for sure someone would have to kill me...
That it doesn’t matter if demons or fairies are real, but the phenomenon of contacting them is the same or related to the supposed contact with aliens.
You dismissed the observation because the observer, Vallee, believes literally in it as supernatural, but his belief in that doesn’t discount the accuracy of the observation.
Demons and fairies are by definition supernatural. But theoretically and ostensibly UFOs and aliens are not supernatural. So understanding UFO alien belief is actually just another variation of these age-old beliefs is an important observation.
You cannot transmit information via quantum entanglement.
If you could transmit information faster than the speed of light, the receiver would obtain the signal in the past, he could then act on the information in your reference frame before it occurred -- and this would lead to causality violations.
It doesn't happen.
We already have “causality violations” galore in classic Judeo-Christian theology.
We don’t want to put our minds in overly rigid boxes.
They live!!
