really, it just can't get old

10 000 galaxies in one tiny part of the view space.

let's say that there are 10 billion of these pieces of the view area.

10 billion (pieces)*10000 (galaxies)*100billion(stars per galaxy)*8(planets per star...sorry pluto)=****load of planets.

come on...that insane beyond comprehension. and we think we're the only ones??? it takes light 8 minutes just to reach earth and we think we're alone because we didn't run into anyone yet.


and to anyone who thinks that our transmissions sent 100 years ago will run into someone is deeply mistaken. in a very short distance they become so weak they are overshadowed by the noise of space. all we can look is for patterns of noise that would stand out as something else.

face it...space is stupid :upstare:
 
if we can send signals between the Voyager Probes who knows what happens when they leave our Solar System. Also my theory is that once you travel past the Sun's gravitational pull star travel is probably both more dangerous (more background radiation from our galaxy) but much faster.
 
But it is old. BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF YEARS OLD!

but if there were advanced life forms cruising around in our part of the galaxy, wouldn't it be theoretically possible they might pick up the signals? Doesn't mean they would be interested, but you never know...

and I love that video. It reminds me of the opening of Contact, which was the best part of the whole movie....

Somehow this reminds me of dm_spacenoxx from UT. Somewhere out there, there's an unreal tournament going on...past or present.
