A moment of reflection
When I started this club I had a few goals to document and get collaborative feedback on a wide range of big topics. Today I went back through the topics and looked at every subject and I could not believe how much we have actually covered and then I realised we have not even scratched the surface, the world the universe is full of wonder one idea is just a spec of sand in the desert. It fills me with awe and inspiration.

I had to join
They wouldn't let me make replies otherwise.

Ancient Aliens are probably ridiculous. But at least we can think and talk about it.

I'm on holidays
For the past 6 months I have not been active on the club. Now I am on holiday I can contribute again. As a normal guy I am useless at multi-tasking. Now my work is over utill the 6th of Jan I can think about my club again.

Personally I believe in ancient aliens to the point I went to the British Museum to look at specific carvings from babylon and Egypt 2000 to 3000 years ago. Its subjective and i know it is I realise it could be baloney. Hower I do understand time series and if 2 is then 5 and then 9 then 14 I can guess then next number will be.....

But you can't drink if you are 20
I don't know about the ancients. I certainly believe in current aliens, I just don't thing that they or their ancesters ever found this place. I believe all humans would have been killed or subjugated if a foreign power discovered earth.

you'd have to wait for 27
I believe the universe is abound with life to believe otherwise is to live in a safety bubble. What the leading scientists have learnt in the last 5 years re-enforces this basically if we can find life lived on mars even as microorganisms or extremophiles will prove this beyond doubt.

The numbers are staggering
In fact, if eternity is real then we can draw a few conclusions. First of all, we don't exist yet and we never will. This is because in eternity all of time has already occurred previously to now. At the same time, all of time is yet to occur after now, and so we have not ever, nor will we, exist.

You really just can't split eternity up into times.

But, even if you keep it in the realm of understanding, it's almost certain that more than one life form has arisen which understands as much as we do now. I'd put it in the thousands.

The Drake Equation
If you haven't stumbled across it yet check out the Drake Equation en.wikipedia.org yes the numbers are staggering.

Oh, I have
I've seen it. I formulated the equation myself in a simpler manner when I was younger. All we need is one little bit of real evidence of other life in the universe and we can easily place the number of civilizations in the millions. Billions! GAJILLIONS!!!

That's a new one to me
I'll have to come back to this tomorrow. The little death is upon me. And I don't mean an orgasm. It's sleep. I'm going to sleep now. Good morning!
