Augie Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 1 minute ago, 4merper4mer said: A civilization couldn't conceivably block our view unless it caught up to its own previous unblocked signals floating through space. This seems conceivable but not with anything we currently know. Granted they'd know more. But if the universe is teeming with life wouldn't some want to block signals, some not care and sone actively want to send signals? Still crickets. Actually not even crickets. I’m not a zealot on this issue, but I hope you will forgive me if I find this overly pompous for you to declare what is conceivable. My mother grew up with a man delivering blocks of ice to her house so they could store food without spoiling. She remembers the first family automobile. I remember party lines on the phone. Now? We drive remote control cars around on Mars, and my mother has virtually all the knowledge of mankind at her fingertips with her iPhone. Your problem is being stuck up on what is conceivable. If additional dimensions is potentially conceivable to you, why not this? I won’t think that small. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if none of the signals get through why isn't the rest of the universe a projection made by these same aliens? Why is what we see actually real?

K-9 Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 1 hour ago, /dev/null said: You do know that Mach varies right? I appreciate that. I was just imposing the established standardized speed of sound (Mach 1) at sea level on a normal day (clear, calm, etc.,) on my theoretical object traveling through the vacuum of outer space, which was a stretch given that Mach applies to “air” craft and not “space” craft. I fully respect the variables that can impact the speed at which sound travels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One can imagine, but that simply still would not be enough. That was exactly my point though, there is no proof one way or other but maybe one day there will be. I certainly think it's at least possible that other intelligent life is somewhere out there. Also as I said in a earlier post, humans also didn't exist, until one day we did.

One more time here, there is NO HARD PROOF on whether there IS OR IS NOT intelligent life out there as of yet. You keep spewing your math B.S as if it means anything. It DOES NOT mean jack *****. It proves absolutely NOTHING. Why? Because there IS NO PROOF. But you keep fighting the good fight, I'm enjoying every bit of your post, especially the ones where you think you know all and have so called "won" arguments. So funny. ?

It's math , it's math lmao It is very interesting for sure but it has nothing to do with aliens or UFOs which are the topic of this thread. On on second thought, I guess it's not far off as it is yet another example of the enormity of data collected from space which is natural in origin. That denominator keeps getting bigger......if bigger than infinity is a thing...but the numerator is still zero. Sorry about the tone of my post. Your article was intersting. As an FYI the topic of FRBs has been tackled on this board and I'm pretty sure in this thread. There have been a lot of related articles linked about this relatively newly discovered natural phenomenon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
