I somewhat believe in them. I havent found any information to disprove them. So I am standing by the fact that aliens may exist.

I once sent this question into "Bill Nye the Science Guy" when I was little and he was somewhat cool to watch...yes even with his car covered in grass...strange...I know...but I never got an answer, Seriously, what happened to those little guys? Did they die, fly into space and turn to dust? What? I never heard the results. Buzz, buzz...

I know that it cant, go the speed of light, but hypothetically if an object such as a car went the speed of light in a vacume then turned on the headlights, could you see anything? I know the answer, I just want to see what people come up with.

object with an albedo A, of 0.50. What is its surface temperature assuming that its only source of heat is sunlight, and that the planet radiates as a black body. Suppose that th eplanet has the mass and radius of pluto. WOuld such a planet be expected to retain carbod Dioxide ( mass=44xmass of hydrogen)?

Why or why not. Take the mass of H to be the mass of a proton (a good approximation) explain yourself with calculations

A Farside cartoon some years ago depicted people lying unconscious in their yard as a UFO sped away into the sky. The aliens had tagged the humans like we tag animals. The funny thing was that they used huge innertube-like devices with antennae as tags, and placed them around the humans' necks.

it seems strange that the vacume of space dosnt just suck out all the air,
this arose due to an answer to my previose question ,putting into my mind the thought we could use the vacume of space to transport stuff into space
ie vacume space travel ,like a big vacume cleaner tube that sucks up into the vacume of space ,but even if it could suck up objects it first would suck up our atmosphere ,yet why isnt it doing it allready ,vacume thus cant be that strong in space ,air aint that hard to suck ,figure that god stops the sucker if you get what im asking?

During the a Sunday, I saw a straight line at an angle of 10 and 4 o'clock standing still sort of glitterring really hight in the sky. It seemed like a piece of metal glitterring from the Sun hitting it as it shook a bit. Then, apparently, it tilted forming a triangle shap which no longer glittered; it was just a bright light, where I could kind of make out three dots, one on each point of the triangle. I kind of could see solid lines connecting the dots, but not if the center was hollow. It seemed to rotate about three times, taking the form of a striaght line, and a triangle. Then, in the form of the straight angled line it started moving. I looked down 2 the street to see if anyone was looking up at it 4 about 3 secounds. No one was looking at it; but when I looked at it again there were only two round lights very far away from each other in the sky moving where it was and in the same direction. I searched the sky for a third light or anything else, but nothing. Helecupters?

I know this will happen, I just don't know when. Will there be any events before this that will wipe out the human race(not counting war)?

With all the Nuclear and Atomic threats in the world today, not to mention all the blasts that have been in the past, isn't it feasable that a strong enough explosion in any specific angle from our planet would affect the orbit it has around the sun? Very much like the shuttle and satillites use relatively small bursts to adjust their orbits, one would think that the size of our nuclear explosions would easily (if not already has) thrown our planets orbit at a differnt variation of it's origanal path. I'm not saying 1 blast would send us into the sun or out of the system, but we could think it's possible that some of this global warming could be attributed to a slightly decreased distance from the sun as well as the other attributes of polution and the destruction of our rain forests.

What are some other peoples thoughts on this? Or am I just being a "worry wart"? <(^-^)>

According to NASA, and other scientists that peer into the depths of our Universe. We have not been able to idenfify even the smallest form of life! We have been searching for years but have failed. I have no religious affiliation with anything, but I believe that if we find life on another planet(particularly intelligent life), we will be eliminating organized religion. Can someone give some insight as to life in the universe, whether small or intelligent...

Ok, so according the the scientific community... The Big Bang was a massive explosion that resulting in the formation of the universe. Well, according to the scienfitic community, what was the creator of this explosion? And what would the root of this explosion be classified as? If something caused this explosion before so called nothing-ness, wouldn't this mean that there was SOMETHING before the formation of the Universe? What is this something?

I've been hearing a lot of people saying things like, "I'm a Leo with a astrological decendent of a Virgo." I'm not really into astrology, but I think it's interesting, and I have no clue what they are talking about. Do any of you? Also...if you do, do I have one? I'm a Libra born 10/12.

Thanks!
