Aliens and Deep Space

Inarguably, we have had no confirmed contact with Aliens.

Why ? Because practical deep space travel is clearly impossible.

Do the simple math :

Distance = Speed x Time

Distances are far too great, Speeds are far too slow and
Times would be prohibitively far too long .

Note that our fastest space probe so far is slower than light by a factor of nearly 27,000 .
So a one way trip to our very nearest neighbor Alpha Centauri at only 4.367 LY
would take 118 Millennia, where i Millenia = 1,000 years.

Even in the extreemly unlikely event that speeds could be increased to near light speed, times would still be prohibitively long.

Confirmation : It is very likely that sentient space faring species abound throughout the universe yet again no confirmed contact so far.

You put too much faith in science and math. We are still in the stone age.

PS - You should skip an extra line before your response to differentiate it from that which you are addressing, and 2 lines between sections if there are any.

Well for purposes of NG discussions, what else could serve us better than science and math ?

Mythology ? Religion ? Supernatural concepts ? etc.

Thanks, but no thanks !

The stone age is a reasonably well defined period of human history and we are well beyond that.



You can still use your head. Use it to go on excursions it has never been

on before. The future is always about the supernatural. Look at the way the

Romans would look at our technology today. And I think you are smart enough to

know what I mean when I say we are still in the stone age. Or I would not be

talking to you.

There is no supernatural as sure as there is no God.

There is only one universe that by definition includes everything. This is a natural entity. There's nothing else.

It only makes sense to imagine things that are within the framework of known and confirmed laws and principles.

Keep saying there is no God. Keep living in darkness.


When you are ready to talk science we will talk science.

No offense intended, but I can't recall a single instance where you've talked science.

Perhaps you can cite one.

I've repeatedly related my basic scientific argument for this thread :
Distance = Speed x Time and many related issues.

God and supernatural are not science .

How about Distance = Velocity X Time?

Speed could be in a circle!

Double-A

Do I have to pray to Jesus to talk science.Does his creating gravity make him a smarter Jew then me? I'm proud to say I'm straight and he is gay.All the Jews know it then,and today its covered up,but not in Boston.`bert
