They'd be like, 'What?' Neil deGrasse Tyson. ''If we find life out there, and it's not us, we will deem it not intelligent. But what may be equally as likely is that we find life that's vastly more intelligent than we are. If that's the case, we are putty in their hands''. Neil deGrasse Tyson. and for LS;'Do you realize that if you fall into a black hole, you will see the entire future of the Universe unfold in front of you in a matter of moments and you will emerge into another space-time created by the singularity of the black hole you just fell into?'' Neil deGrasse Tyson
mo-oneandmore 10-Dec-19, 10:41	brig. I fully agree with one and two, but I question three. For one to "see" or experience ANYTHING after falling into a Black hole seems odd to me.
brigadecommander 10-Dec-19, 17:01	mo he put a question mark on that one if you notice.He was speculating i believe.
mo-oneandmore 11-Dec-19, 04:22	Ya. I fully agree with Neil's "question mark", Miss Mo, but I would argue that I it's well beyond mere "speculation".
brigadecommander 11-Dec-19, 04:33	my point is that the Cosmos (and others) is far stranger and more complex, then we as a primitive species, can understand. ''Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence''. Carl Sagan
mo-oneandmore 11-Dec-19, 05:55	Brig I certainly agree that many elements of the Cosmos are likely Beyond Mans Comprehension, and I fully agree (for once ) with Carl Sagan here.
brigadecommander 11-Dec-19, 06:25	Having studied Human History exhaustively,including Scientific progress or lack of,i try to keep my Mind open and skeptical in the face of Dogmatic Conclusions, embraced very often in History.That doesn't mean Modern Cosmology is all wrong,it just means am skeptical of such definitive conclusions. It looks to me like (often) if evidence goes against a 'beloved' theory,then it gets discounted far too quickly. Human Nature. Throughout History. Let me put it simply. Our Technology allows us to 'see' just so far into the Cosmos.No farther until the technology improves. I trust the evidence coming in from the 'FIELD' more the conclusions made by lazy desk bound Physicists, who control the funding of Field research and subsequent Experimentation.Sorry!! Miss Mo. Example; until very recently it was 'STATED EMPHATICALLY' that there were approximately 250-300 Billion Galaxies in the Cosmos.They now state emphatically there are over 2.2 TRILLION!! oops

If you could somehow prevent that, you would behold the entire universe unfold before your eyes, and then once you crossed the threshold it's really anyone's guess after that. Neil deGrasse Tyson is great, and I like him a lot. Maybe almost as much as I liked Carl Sagan. But he's no Albert Einstein, or even Stephen Hawking. If you could stack a thousand Comrade Gropers one on top the other, Neil would still tower over that. And he is smarter than I am, so I should be passing judgment.

Would I be able to experience and/or "see" that?  Neil DeGrasse Tyson said "maybe", you know.
