Science ........ "Pish" .........

It's a "Job creation scheme"........ "Theory of everything" ........ Nonsense.

....... and then we top it all off with CERN spending Billions of Euros building a "tube" under a mountain .......... and what do they find ???? a bl**dy "PARTICLE" ......... and then is was only for a nanosecond !!!! ........ and then they try to sell it as "The start of the Universe....... Oh and can we have some more money please" ..... Absolute "Pish".

Nostradamus Stevekir ( sorry couldn't resist ) as predicted Armageddon 2165 I'm not worried as I will be 200 years old and if you haven't done everything by then it's not worth doing in my opinion. And although the British bulldog spirit is slowly fading I reckon it's something we can still tap into in extreme circumstances and we will be ready for these aliens and will kick their butts back into orbit.i mean in all the best films the aliens (baddies) always lose.

After the meltdown they will come................View attachment 98155

But they will turn on themselves View attachment 98156

so fellow modellers get back to you benches and get busy as the clocks ticking................and there are some big stash piles out there

We won't need any of the "Bulldog" stuff John ........... Just get Bruce Willis in a dirty, sweaty vest and he'll do the lot of 'em.

John I guess you are aware the Terminator films didn't involve aliens??



As for all that, if we are visited by another species it's quite likely they'll be much more technically advanced than us & will merely sweep us away inorder to exploit the resources of planet Earth.

But for an interesting take on the subject, read the ' In The Balance ' books by Harry Turtledove that deals with an alien invasion during WW2!

Yes I'm aware as are the machines of sky net there's one on the way to your house right now to explain this was a reply to Stevens post.............Long post: sorry. I agree with Steve (Stona). Some additional thought on the lifespans of intelligent life. I think that the human race will last about another 150 years (perhaps less in view of the present accelerating rate of scientific advance) before severe constraints build up such as depletion of physical resources, pollution, conflict betweennations etc. stop further big-scale scientific and technological advances. Before that decline bites, forcing us to turn to survival strategies, we have, say, another 100 years from now to launch a number of manned space flights toother stars. Suppose we launch 20 such missions. These would have to be be aimed in different directions. Thechances of one of these being detected by other intelligent life must be minute given the vastness of space..................

and another quote from Alan who started the thread .......Please if you can be funny with this debate please do ..........but don't worry normal service will be resumed shortly as these are up next View attachment 98158

You needn't have gone to so much trouble John! But what are you doing with a glamorous pic of my missus?

 

[Guest]

There has to be other life in the universe, it is so vast that not to have other life is statistically impossible, or to be more precise 99.9999999999999999 ... % certain that alien life must exist. However, the chances that we will ever meet them is impossible to calculate, but with many of them millions of years in advance of us who knows what technology they may have developed? Think of the advances we have made in just the last 100 years. They may to be able to cheat light speed by warping space, or creating wormholes, or using technology we can not even comprehend. As the great Arthur C Clarke said, any sufficiently advanced technology will be indistinguishable from magic.

They are out there and it is quite reasonable to assume that one day they will contact us. I hope they make it soon, I am getting old.

Or sweep us all into a skip and fix the place up. Muttering under their breath "Well they buggered that right up. Lets reset and so how it goes with out the humans...!"

Think I read somewhere that during the 50's/60's Americans were more concerned with the Russians invading than anything else, so as a decoy for any aircraft that may have been Russian probing american airspace they conjured up the Alien / UFO theory, better to be attacked by something you cant, perceivably stop than something you can and be and turned into as so eloquently put at the time, a 'commie'

Doesn't explain the foo fighters during WWII though and near misses with civilian airliners today but;

When I was at one of Waddington's air show's back in the 90's and one of the first appearances of the Nighthawk, I was speaking to the pilot and he just said - " This is old tech, what you should be really thinking is where are we now" and that was over 20 years ago !!

Aurora anyone

There are planets billions of years older than earth so that's a massive head start on the human race.Just try and imagine how much technology will improve in a billion years here on earth and as a species how much we will evolve in that time

 

[flyjoe180]

I read this article about a year ago about potential life in the universe. It relates to the Great Filter, or the theoretical stages of the evolution of life forms. If you get past one filter there is another and so on, until you colonise everything and therefore ensure the survival of your species.

In summary, depending on where The Great Filter occurs, we're left with three possible realities:

1. We're rare - he Great Filter is behind us -- we managed to surpass it, which would mean it's extremely rare for life to make it to our level of intelligence.

2. We're first - the Great Filter is ahead of us and we have the opportunity, if we make it through, to become super intelligent.

3. We're fu*ked.The Great Filter is ahead, suggesting that life regularly evolves to where we are, but that something prevents life from going much further and reaching high intelligence in almost all cases -- and we're unlikely to be an exception.

Have a read, it's pretty interesting.
