SETI scientists spot 72 signals 'from alien galaxy' 3bn light years away



I personally believe that it is impossible for life 'not' to be out there. When you look at how life has adapted in many forms and in extreme conditions on Earth, it demonstrates the power of life to form and exist.
It just shows life can adapt easily. It doesn't mean it is easily or commonly started from scratch. Our planet could well be the only planet with life. How ironic would that be as we continue to shoot ourselves in the foot by f***ing up our own home?

We're not the only ones mate, there are huge alien spiders out there.

oh I get it now, spiders from mars/ground control to general tong, it all makes sense.
 
I'm sure it doesn't. :lol:


My point was that this is a hypothetical species capable of intergalactic travel. There's no reason to believe they are good or bad, indifferent is a perfectly viable option.

They may not be capable of even recognising we are there.

For all we know the sun is sentient and alive in a way beyond our comprehension. Watching us while we go on about our business in a similar way to the hypothetical spider that I'm not bothering one way or the other.


True enough, if we were putting together a group of people to observe spiders in their natural habitat we'd probably try to whittle them out as part of the recruitment process. :lol:

:lol::lol: I like it. It has been worshiped since time immemorial mind. So you might be on to summat.

Actually hold the fuck on. I knew you were Illuminati. Sun worshipping bassa

The amount of people that tag professionalmackem in so called conspiracy threads but when he is actually posting they are nowhere to be seen.
 
That is true but it soon will be. In evolutionary terms (let alone astronomical terms) we are just a brief flash.
Bees, for example, are far more successful than we are.
Don't be thinking in that way marra have you lost all hope?
 
Its more likely to me that he is telling the truth when you look at all the other credible witnesses, there is a pattern.

Peter Andre saw a UFO himself when he went to Nevada and he said it was definately Aliens, somebody like him wouldnt make a story like that up.
And why wouldn’t he make something like that up?
 
As in the end of the world?
Depends what you mean by that. I think an asteroid strike within the next few hundred years is unlikely. However we are messing up the planet. Although the species will survive there will be a huge reduction in numbers at somepoint soon. That in itself is probably a good thing, but would be better if it wasn't so sudden. We are living with a population of which the planet can only sustain a quarter.

I laugh at people who voted Brexit because they were so offended that there was an African driving their bus. If they can't cope with immigration now then how will they be when the African and Middle Eastern Climate Change refugees start arriving in their millions?

Then there are the risks of antibiotic resistance, nuclear armageddon or uncontrollable disease - either artificially started or natural. The threat of war as the fossil fuels run out is almost inevitable. We are utterly reliant on fossil fuels for almost every part of our life. The world will never be able to adapt quickly enough towards renewable energy for cars, defence, heating, industry and airlines. That's not to mention all of the drugs and plastics that use crude oil as the raw material. China is already flexing its muscles with Russia. Then you have the mad deluded religious bastards in charge of some Middle Eastern states.

If we look at our attitude towards other species, and also the number of wars between within our own species, our ambition and our chances of any future longevity look dire.

That all sounds pretty pessimistiv. I'm looking forward to the next few years with my kids. I'm not going to kid myself that the future, currently, looks bleak for humans.
 
3 Billion light years. Mind boggling numbers.
I wonder what the god squad say to that to explain those numbers, given that they think everything is 6,000- ish years old.

Apparently our galaxy is 100,000 light years across and we are about 24,000 light years from the edge. Even to get to the centre at the speed of light would take 26,000 years which is a canny long time.

For some reason The Bible only gives the account of Earth's formation. Presumably each of the other billions of planets has its own holy book.

Yes, but you may need a catalyst and certain conditions for life to get started. It is by no means a given that there will be life elsewhere in the universe, even the best scientists admit that.
 
There is a series on Discovery Science called "How the Universe Works". Watch it they explain how the universe started and how it will die. We are a dying galaxy not for a few million years though. We will see promotion by then.
