Rumour has it that the russians have detected alien intelligence 67 light years away & this has been confirmed by seti & The results of this will be announced at the big science conference in mexico on the 22 .
Now my understanding of the universe is that nothing except for the universe can travel faster than the speed of light so even if they left now it would take them longer than 67 years to get here .
I would think that the biggest affect that it would have would be on religions .
How would it change life on our planet ?

It will have zero impact on religion.

If fact and reasoning played any part in a belief in faith, religion would have died out a long time ago.

They should try and find collective intelligence on Earth first.

well at the start of the year there was a rumour going around gravity waves had been detected & then they made the announcement that they had been detected so I'm waiting with interest to see if this will be the case this time.
but even if they haven't this time eventually i hope they will & I'm trying to think of the ramifications will there be a mass panic ?
will religions change to accommodate this ?
will the world suddenly come together to face what I imagine most military minds would consider a threat ?
will it encourage us to become a space fairing race faster
Will it be portrayed in the media as second fiddle to celebrity gossip & sports ?
Im hoping it would be the defining moment in the life of the human race & it would be so cool to be alive when that happens .

I think if little green men came here it would be no good.
Imagine the cost and time involved for them.
There would only be one reason to come here ............. and thats to move to WA where all the good wind is

Another simulation existance. Someone/thing playing 2 games of sims at the same time?



Youtube what if aliens exist and the ramifications. Basically nothing will change. How will you notify the world when there all to busy glaring at there phones to see what the krapdashians are doing ? And the other half are to poor to even feed themselves?

I want it to be true just to see Pauline Hanson loose her mind!! If someone that is slightly different shades f*#ks with her head, imagine if the little green people were descending on earth,.. her head would explode!!

I remember being told a story about a noise spike that appeared randomly and momentarily on the spectrum at a radio telescope observatory. This spike caused great confusion and a large investigation followed as to what was causing this random noise spike. They eventually found that the spike came from the microwave oven in the chow down room but only when someone opened the door before the oven had timed out.

They are actually Grey's. I just watched Paul last night which confirmed it.

By 2018, Straya will be swamped by alliance. That is a fact. But don't you worry about that. We have someone here who will scare them away, by merely staring at them ! Those cold dead steel piecing eyes !

I think we should limit all radio transmissions on earth to 1 watt. So the Aliens don't find us. Because if they're anything like us, and they have the technology to get here before we have it to get there. It won't be good.

Well the russians can fix a bladder just with an iron, imagine how good they are at detecting aliens.

The american space program trained astronauts, they could go to astro or the edge of the known..

The russiun space program trained cosmonauts, they could go to the cosmos or infinite,the cosmos had no bounderies..

Their pattern of thoughtset them apart,

both russia and usa have known of this alien life, even blind freddy could see it..Its just that russia has identified it.

My understanding of the universe is because nothing can travel faster than the speed of light & because the universe is expanding faster
the farther away it is the distances involved really prohibits anybody coming here .
General relativity does allow for worm holes but the greater theory of relativity doesn't .
Hawking published a paper about that I just can't remember what it was called this morning so the best we could ever hope for is to detect radio waves . unless they go the slow boat method & spend a long time coming here or have a greater understanding & some new technology

or maybe make transmissions of reality TV really powerful so that we seem like a bunch of idiots... oh hang on, maybe they would invade faster then?

Just make sure they get the last episode of Ally McBeal.

True so far as we know it. But , in another universe ( and theres no reason there cant be , maths says there should be ) , there could be totally different laws of physics. We are probably not evolved enough to ever understand , its like trying to teach a dog poetry.

No bit disappointed it was only the military spying signals.
Hopefully soon
