I mean, if the new year started on the 21st Dec solstice I could understand that. But what happens today that's unique each year?

Do u think scientists search for similar conditions as earth in other planets of our solar panel is reasonable?What i believe is there is no point in searching 4 similar conditions and decide whether there is life life or not in dose planets.Coz any other planet in our solar panel hasnt got the same distance from earth.Life in our solar panel depends on the distance from the sun.Earth is in a distance where it can have life based on oxeygon and water due to the distance from sun!

Therefore dont u feel that scientists search 4 oxeygon and water in other planets has no point?Coz of the face dat da distance is different there cant be life based on oxeygon!Maybe there are creatures who inhale a different gas and cannot be seen by the visible region of light which is 400nm-700nm!Maybe there r lives which dun need any gas at all!

oxeygon is required by our type of creatures who live in earth!So scientists shud think abt dis and do different experiments which has no deal with oxeygon!

surely we would only detect a red shift in one direction only (and possibly a 'blue shift' in the opposite direction), unless planet Earth is at the centre of the thing, in which case a star in ANY direction would appear red shifted?This 'big bang' thing sounds like trying to fit into a framework of words, something that is not so easily comprehensible?

-From a scientific perspective-
Do they exist? Will we ever meet them? What are they like? Where are they?

I was looking outside from my house, being the little astronomer I am, I quickly noticed an odd object. It was about as big as Jupiter (in the night sky of course) and it was flashing from blue to red to blue to red...

Curious, I got my telescope and went to check it out (note this is INSIDE my house, I'm looking at it with my telescope through a window) I saw it looked something like a flying saucer (I don't beleive in the UFO crap, even seeing that won't change my mind)

Here is a drawing:

I used 2 different lenses, they both were fuzzy and only produced the same image. This drawing is a certaint focus point where I saw the thing take it's saucer shape. Do you know what it is?

Okay, and "abductees" have any wisdom to pass forth from those aliens who visited with you? (besides humanoids being destructive.....what other messages did they tell you)
And when exactly do they plan to "visit us and reveal why we are all here"

I have always wondered if there were humans on the Andromeda galaxy, just like us, in the Milky way galaxy....I also thought that they might be wondering if there are other humans out there (us)

I want to hear your opinions on this theory....

Scientific rxplorations at CERV using a 17-mile long partical accelerate of immense power could provide indications of other dimensions. This will help move science towards metaphysics. What would the discovery of other dimensions mean to you and to the world? What could be in those othjer dimensions? Life?

These are defined as light beings that are able to traverse the universe or connect with other dimensions, via wormholes ot stargates. Even Tibetan lamas were said to dissolve their bodies into pure energy and travel through the stars. The Sumerian word "Nibiru" meaning "crossing" could sctually have referred to a stargate, rather than another planet. What do you make of all this?

A spot on the Earth has to make a 25000 mile circle in 24 hours at the equator but smaller circles as you move towards the poles. Since you are moving faster in Brazil than in Michigan, do you weigh less as the extra speed tends to pull you off the surface?
