Gone up 80% since then. At the same time I have stopped buying any alcohol. So almost doubled when my salary has maybe gone up 10%. On the news today that package holidays to Europe are up 10% next year too. We're the boiling frog getting poorer every year whilst being overtaken by the likes of Poland. Harumph. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely elated and terrified in equal measure Is this your subtle way of telling us you have a girlfriend and have had sex? I thought this was the Fish's thing? Anyway, congratulations, Aimaad, really happy for you. Edited January 25 by Howmanheyman 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 49834 Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 Nah, I don't watch it. It was a news story man, you doddery old fool. There were statements issued after the lass he was dancing with had to remove his hand as he was trying to cop a feel of her. And the dopey cunts decided to bring him on the tour.

I don’t disagree I just enjoy any opportunity I can break out the ancient aliens lunatic. I’d argue it’s 100% certain if they’ve found DNA on a big space rock tbf.

Aye, but it’s very unlikely we’ll ever come across intelligent life. See the Fermi Paradox Essentially, given the almost definite chance that life exists in multiple locations throughout the universe, why haven’t we found it yet? Also, the conditions necessary to reach interstellar/galactic travel make it extremely unlikely that we’ll ever come across intelligent life capable of it, even if we get there ourselves. Chances are that any alien life capable of it have already died out or are too far away to ever reach us, given the speed the universe is expanding. It’s similar to the concept of the “observable universe”, and how we’ll never be able to get past it’s boundary. Say that we discovered the ability to travel interstellar tomorrow- if we set off on Wednesday morning, by the time we got to the edge of the observable universe , us travelling at light speed, the boundary will have moved further away from us. By the time we get to the new boundary, again, it’s fucked off a bit more. We’ll never get to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a single author from no recognised academic institution. It's full of quasi-pseudo scientifc bollocks. Were there any chance this was true, it would be front page of Nature. Apart from the fact it seems to me unlikely fragile DNA could survive inter-planetary or even inter-stellar space and the impact through Earth's atmosphere, the chances "alien DNA" would be "DNA" as we know it is almost zero. Alien life would probably have some form of genetic code, but it would not be the DNA molecule, which arose by chance. It's funny how in Star Trek Spock's Dad got it on with an Earth lady and impregnated her, when in reality they would be completely incompatible. The dirty logical bassa.

True, but space is not expanding within the local group of galaxies, and there are trillions of stars just in that, the Milky Way being the second biggest galaxy. The other thing you're missing is the time scales. Say 10% speed of light is the best we can realistically ever do, it takes 40 years to get to alpha centauri system. You do that and colonise it, then jump to the next star system. Over the course of tens of millions of years, which you have as the Universe is 13 billion years old, you've colonised the Milky Way. But there are still many variables we don't know. Probability of life. Probability of intelligent life. Probability of stable, advanced civilisations (seems quite low given the state of humans). And if they do exist, I reckon either they will destroy us or just remain hidden, prime objective style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
