truth on hold Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 they would contend the reports from ancient religious peoples of gods descending/ascending from/ to the sky in flying chariots etc were accounts of alien visits in the only way they knew of describing such things given their primitive sciences .

Captain Hindsight Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Its cool to look at it from that point of view and wonder well what if this is true? Most of it probably isnt but its still cool to think about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I don't think all people who believe that aliens visited earth are nuts. But this show is pretty far out there I do believe there is life on other planets. There are billions of stars in this galaxy and there are billions of galaxies in the universe. The odds are overwhelmingly in favor of it. Even if there is sentient life on another planet does not guarantee that they have mastered space travel or have the time, resources, or interest necessary to travel to Earth The universe is pretty freakin' big and there's this little thing called the speed of light. Now you could have really smart aliens build robotic explorers and send them around for millions of years. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the probes have been out for millions of years, any information they receive will be millions of years old by the time it arrives How would they power these probes for such an extended voyage? Broadcasting over millions of light years would take some juice If the aliens send out a probe from millions of light years away, will the alien civilization even still exist by the time the data is received? But then again alien probes aren't what Ancient Aliens is about. It's about aliens visiting Earth and influencing human civilization Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again alien probes aren't what Ancient Aliens is about. It's about aliens visiting Earth and influencing human civilization Well any probe sent by an advanced civilization would likely have a level of AI to make it autonomous. It could also transmit data back to its home world as it travels, taking longer and longer to arrive the further it ventures out. Also consider that there are likely millions of planets within a few hundred light years so it's not like data would take forever to arrive. Plus, taking a leap here, perhaps this advanced race uses quantum entanglement to transmit information instantaneously. As for power it could recharge itself using solar energy while in a star system, or perhaps (another leap) this advanced race learned to use so-called "dark energy" as an energy source?

Cugalabanza Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I’m telling you, the universe is stupid. Nobody believes me, but it's true. It’s just a great big stupid collection of cold dust and hot dust. Soon enough it will be all cold dust. Nobody’s intelligent. Nobody’s travelling to any new worlds. It’s all stupid. That’s why I don’t even want anything to do with it. I just stay home most evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in San Diego Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I'm surprized that a bunch of people believe in the scribblings of goat farmers 2 thousand years ago are the words directly from God. Seems just as crazy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clippers of Nfl Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I watched most of episode "Time traveling aliens" till I fell asleep. Hitler was working on a time machine. Lol The show is kinda interesting and decent tv if you want to use it as a sleeping tool. Dumb show. Dumb idea. Money wasted. Oh and I do think you are stupid if you believe in this junk.

DC Tom Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 You're right. Sleeping through one episode out of 41 is definitely enough to reach such definitive judgment about the show. I'm watching it now. What a laugh. Hitler cooperated with aliens to repair a UFO that crashed in the Black Forest in 1936, that gave them a mercury-based antigravity system. Hitler. Aliens. Anti-gravity. !@#$ing brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
