The Privileged Planet
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmIc42oRjm8&t=926s

THE PRIVILEGED PLANET, utilizing stunning computer animation, interviews with leading scientists, and spectacular images of Earth and the cosmos, explores a startling connection between our capacity to survive and our ability to observe and understand the universe. Is this correlation merely a coincidence? Or does it point to a deeper truth about purpose and intelligent design within the cosmos? THE PRIVILEGED PLANET is based on the book with the same title by Jay Richards and Guillermo Gonzalez. Production began in October 2002 and was completed in June 2004. The documentary presents the Richards/Gonzalez hypothesis that the Earth was designed to both sustain complex life and enable scientific discovery.

Now people are saying UFOs are very quiet. I know why now, Electric UFOs...I knew they are advanced, with electric UFOs...we are doing Telsas, they have UFOs... 😀

Yup. Spot on analysis. Four billion, maybe four and a half but our star will use up it’s hydrogen and then burn through just every element on the Periodic table as gravity pushes in and our star either goes super nova or collapses in to a black hole. That is unless sometime way before that a huge chunk of iron or a comet crashes into us. Then it could be game over.

Yeah, right? Can get here from the next star system or galaxy but about as soon as they get here right away BAM! The old space ship breaks down. And some how all the rubes,the Earthlings that it is, seem to know when they're witnessing the saucer men outside the spaceship, they somehow all seem to know, or certainly all seem to agree that the spaceship was having engine trouble. Amazing ain't it?

An UFO landed in Washington DC. They went to the capital and saw Chuck Schumer, Liz Warren, Maxine Waters, Hank Johnson and Shelia Jackon-Lee. They decided to leave, because they didn't find any intelligent life. 😀

Instead, then went extinct when their respective single party state advocates managed to enforce their gender dysphoria model and the populations died out. Thanks Oldeconomybuyer.

By the time they reach us, the manufacturer’s warranty is expired.

The time scale for the sun’s brightening is on the order of a billion years, and for most stars even longer

Given a billion years, we (or some alien civilization) would be pretty pathetic to not be able to "parasol" (shade) the Earth well enough to get at least another billion years out of the deal. In 2 billion years, we ought to be able to figure out further strategies, or, just leave.

Interesting article. Thanks for the laugh. SunkenCiv

Not to mention that around that time our galaxy, the Milky Way is supposed to be just about colliding with the Andromeda galaxy.

That will provide a quite a selection of new (well, used but still newer) stars to check out.

Love that new star smell.

[SunkenCiv]

My pleasure.
