Lemon or Blue Raspberry?

Mars rover is also a hoax! Here is leaked proof of their filming in a Hollywood studio!

--- Quote ---The problem with Sagan's take is that we could not possibly understand the aliens' motivation.  

How do you think lab rats feel about the way we treat them?  Think it makes any sense from their perspective?

Why would aliens show us technology that we would be unable to replicate?  etc.


(and, no I don't think aliens are abducting us)

Agreed, absolutely. I was off slightly in what he said...he actually states it closer to the way you've presented it.

Meh, I beg to differ.

Look around you - how much will still be here in 100 years?

There's loads of old stuff around us if that's what you're into. I hope to still own the car that's in my garage when it reaches 100 which (relatively speaking) is not that long to wait. My early demise is the only thing I can think of that would stop me celebrating it's 100th.

 

Ummon:
1. Geometry was around 2500 years ago. There's an old story, which is actually in Cosmos, about one of the guys back then that noticed the shadows pillars separated a bit from each other indicated a round world. They could do killer stone work, and could forge things out of metal. (They had the elements of steam power, too - I think I also read this in Cosmos.)

2. some of these examples, though, do require extraordinary knowledge, which could've easily been passed down by non-terrestrial creatures.
