What are you objecting to? Your "explanation" is just condemnation of the search for aliens, which is not actually an explanation of anything, but just a vaguely related complaint. I gave you an “at” to show you where I’ve already addressed your demand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're very dramatic for such a "logical" thinker. You're posts have an emotional and insulting tone because you're always on the offensive in this thread, which at least leads to some extra entertainment sometimes... The post you linked to is somewhat relevant to the new study when it mentions Von Neuman probes. That part of your post relies on your belief that there have been no probes yet. That's what you choose to believe, despite the numerous reports involving credible pilots possibly witnessing such probes, which have already been linked to numerous times in this thread.

My are posts what? Just kidding, I know it was a typo. The guy that called a rock an alien ship says there have been probes but they’re all hiding. And they are pooped out of a mother ship which is also hiding. Do I have that right? I suggested that you think about your response vis a vis Von Neumann probes, etc. but you didn’t. If you had, you’d realize that what is asserted about the characteristics of these probes does not follow basic logic. This is a very important step. I don’t think I have an emotional tone at all in these posts. My posts may elicit an emotional response from the wishful thinkers, but that is something entirely different. It’s not all that different from telling a pot head that marijuana has negative traits. Those responses are very similar. At this point are you ready to defend the study and state what you think is true and why, or do you need more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is about intelligent and communicative off planet aliens which simply do not exist. Math is undefeated and will remain so at least until it’s inevitable showdown with Father Time.
