Thank you. I'm trying to say this. We can only know what we know. Using only what we know to judge if something else exists is of course all that we can do, but it doesn't in any way mean that's all there is. We don't know what dark matter is. No clue. It's solvable, maybe, but we can't yet. I cringe every time I hear a physicist say the laws of physics break down in a black hole singularity. Well if the "law" breaks down, then it really isn't a law is it? Clearly it can be broken based on what we know. So there must be something else that we don't know and may never understand happening there.

God no. And I posted as such...somewhere. It's not about being triggered or whatever. I have no desire to read posts that long here. No thanks.

No hard feelings...Your posts are just way too long and I skip them because of that. That's all. Wish you could shorten them rather than making them thousands of words......Wasn't a personal attack. Oh by the way...the "outright attacks" you mention. Those aren't harmful to me at all. This is a lowly trafficked fantasy football message bored. I couldn't care less if people attack me personally.

Based on what we know today you're right

Again, trying to validate anything using our definitions of how things work is...limiting.. Carl Sagan throws out some super fun ideas in Contact. (probably more than that, but that's all I have read of his). We define time in our own way. What if there is an intelligent society out there that has a completely different measure of time(this is likely). Like say they are sending us messages, and to them, it takes one of their "seconds"(however they define that) to send a character, but for us, that second is 10,000 years? They could be actively trying to communicate with us, but because of our differences, we have zero chance of understanding what they are sending. Even if it is the universal language of math. They could just send a "hello" and it would take 50,000 years for us to even receive that one word?

EXACTLY!! Consider it. We, as "intelligent" beings, have been learning for what? Maybe a million years? And that's a stretch. Imagine a society out there that has been developing, peacefully, for a billion years? 5 billion years? That's a whole lot of learning that is possible.

This "unimaginable" is based solely on what you know. There needs to be a understanding of that. Yes, within the physics that we think we know, it would be difficult. But that's making an assumption we know it all, and I'm willing to bet we don't

It's even possible that we live in a multiverse situation. Maybe the universes are rotating, and there is a habitable planet at the edge of that universe, and has been able to learn and understand the ability to travel between them. And when they rotate in a manner in which ours and theirs are close, they cross..hang in ours for a while, until they rotate closely again, then go back.

Ok..thats a big wow.

Youre trying to define what can be defined. There could be things out there that we have no idea that they even exist. You can't train someone on that. It is beyond what we can know.

In my opinion this is possible. And I say this because we always limit what we think can happen based on our level of knowledge of how the universe operates. And it is entirely possible we don't know it all. Physics call these things laws, but to me they aren't laws, they are explanations based on what we know. And that can be limiting. I like the analogy some use that say if you lock yourself in a room with a cat and a book on general relativity....No matter how hard you try, how much time you spend, that cat will never understand it. Their brains just cannot reach that level of intelligence. It is absolutely possible we as humans have the same limitations. There could be things out there that we can never and will never grasp, our intelligence isn't capable.

95% less words man. Your posts are absolutely unreadable most of the time.

I know!

Track and Field was a good one!

JFC...Can we implement a twitter style ban on characters for certain posters? This sh!t is just unreadable.

Yes!! Loved high speed too...Forgot about that one Also, black knight....

I did

Arabian Nights Mars Attacks..Might be martian attacks?

Yuck

Yep..Keep one rock, one that is moving as vertically as possible. Take the ship and run it at high speed vertically...Hit the 1000 point ships....Hope he doesn't hit the last single rock or run into it..or kill you.

Yup me too. Got crazy good at asteroids.

I also liked a game called Krazy Klimber. Youd scale this building while people tried to drop things on our head from open windows. That was a fun one
