Mankind's Fate !
Two important issues here :
First, man is hell bent of poisoning himself out of existence. First the oceans will go, followed by everything shortly thereafter. The root of this is the total lack of any population control. China made a feeble attempt at addressing this, that failed miserably. It's an established fact that any unchecked population, with necessarily limited ressources, will increased until checked by something. This is usually something very onerous as will be our ultimate fate. Second, there are those that argue that man will just expand throughout the usiverse. But man is limited to light speed and likely something far slower, so this is essentially impossible. Intelligent life probably abounds throughout the universe, yet we are never visited by any. I think this is the reason. Distances are simply far too great. |

The other unknown is how long does intelligent life survive on a planet once it takes hold?Â* Looking at earth it seems to have taken an amazingly long time to get to a level we would call 'intelligent'.Â* Now that we're at this level will we stay 'intelligent' until the earth dies? It seems the earth was devoid of intelligent life for the 1st 99.994% of it's existence.Â* If all the other planets are devoid of intelligence 99.99% of the time then that's another reason for the eerie silence. Wasn't there a diagram that represented the entire history of the Earth as a Day .... and Homo-sapiens didn't appear until five minutes to midnight or some such?? Or was the image a year long calendar?? -- Daniel |

Or was the image a year long calendar?? Yes it was a yr long calendar & 'anatomically modern humans' appeared 31 December 11:52 pm. That's in the last 8 minutes of the year. Agriculture started 11:59:32 - the last 28 seconds of the whole year. Egyptian/Pyramid era were around 12 seconds ago 23:59:48. Currently we are in the last second of the year - ie 31 December 11:59:59 - which covers the last 457 yrs, so 1561 to 2018. Each second in the calendar yr covers a period of 457 years. The internet appeared in the last 10th of 1 second. That's a tiny sliver of time. This cosmic calendar covers the age of the universe ie 13.8 billion yrs, not the age of earth. If it really took us 13.8 billion yrs to reach 'intelligence', then it could be this is a typical gestation period for all planets to reach this level? If so then it's no surprise we haven't heard any signals yet. The signals may be coming thick & fast in another billion yrs or so? --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. http://www.avg.com |

Maybe you will want to go with us when we journey to Alpha Centauri in the not too distant future. Then you will believe. |

Columbus to Airbus speed ratio is about 100, while fastest space probe to light speed is way over 30,000. And even light speed is way too slow to be practical ... |
