(I must totally sound like your boss right now) Eh, opportunity mostly. No meetings scheduled for today, we're at a bit of a lull after the recent build, just moved a heavy change to Tier 1 testing, and most my stuff is waiting on other people. The stars have aligned and probably won't do so again until late October/early November. Plus, I need a break after the recent build and after-hours monitoring. 7 minutes ago, GemWolf said: I can't do that I wish I could, but I would feel too guilty.

Alpha C's potentially habitable planet is mostly significant because, if habitable planets are so commonplace that even our nearest stellar companion has 1, that it suggests life might also be commonplace in the universe.

Crazy Lee Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 So, I thought of the best idea for a Halloween lawn decoration, if you are rich/a wall street banker/won the lottery/sued someone for a big settlement. I thought of it after seeing this:http://www.homedepot.com/p/Home-Accents-Holiday-74-in-Halloween-Standing-Skeleton-Horse-6342-86676/206802721?cm_mmc=SEM|THD|google|&mid=s1FIrfjyt|dc_mtid_8903jx325196_pcrid_122913813808_pkw__pmt__product_206802721_product_slid_&gclid=CLKx2sv27M4CFQ6BaQodiKECfA So, get 9 of those skeleton horses. Make their eyes glow red, add motors for head movement. Line them up in pairs of 2, put the 9th one in front, give him a glowing red ball nose. Put a black sled behind them, with flames on the side, some tailpipes that shoot out real flames. In the seat of the sled, add a lifesize prop of Satan, wearing a black fur coat. Then you have Santa Satan and his 9 reindeer horsemen of the apocalypse, to wreck havoc on the living. Add appropriate metal background music.

I need a new phone. I'm a member of a pay-as-you-go, or non-contract phone company. And I'm almost wishing I had a contract, because buying a phone is expensive. I have thought of going with a Samsung Galaxy S series phone, but even the s4, being 3-4 years old, is still $200. The s6 which came out last year I think, is like $400-500 still. I wanted to stick with those because of the ease of finding accessories. The Galaxy notes are pretty expensive as well. So, I don't know WHAT to buy.

If there were other life forms in our nearest star systems then human spacecraft operating at conventional speeds could reach them on a time span of 0.1-10 million years, which is so fast that we may ignore expansion. If there were a civilisation on Alpha Centauri, they sent a radio message today, and Donald Trump became president, then Donald would receive that message before the end of his presidential term.

The only thing I remember is it was several million light years away. It had oceans and rocky/desert land. Since it orbits a star in the habitable zone it's very likely there is life on it, just underwater. Last time I checked we can't observe the bottom of an ocean from space. If the theory of evolution is true which it probably is, all life should originate from under water. You're right it there is no confirmed life on other planets just like there's no confirmation that Gravity is real. It's all speculation and it will stay that way I'm just saying there is a lot of evidence to support it though Alien fish. Not necessarily anything like common fish on earth swimming near the surface or anything, just small organisms that could be sitting down at the bottom.

Of course it's not possible. If it's several million light years away then the events seen on it happened millions of years ago. As for getting an image from our point of view you can't just use any camera and take pictures. There are other methods of examining and documenting it. If we went to the planet now, it could be completely destroyed or have a small chance of having life on land or life growing underwater. Or it could be the exact same as it was millions of years ago. If there was intelligent life on the planet and they saw earth, they would most likely not see humans at all but here we are. They could be thinking about us the same way we think about them. The point I'm making is nobody knows what's really over there. You're right but I'm still not wrong. There is no confirmation of life outside of earth but there is loads of evidence that show that there is a high chance that there is. If you still think it's made up sure go ahead and say I'm wrong. I know it sounds crazy and unrealistic so I can't blame you for thinking that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
