Suppose it was immediately after the Big Bang and the Universe was the size of, lets say, a football field. Would it take the same amount of time for a light beam to travel from one side to the other as it would now, with the Universe at it's current size? Basically, would it take hundreds of billions of years for a light beam to cross 100 yards in a football field sized Universe?

because they found Alien base there?
Is this just another conspiracy?

I was reading in my science lessen and it says that scientist are starting to believe that atopms and our solor system are related, cause there is a atom that is i think flirona or some thing that has 9 electrons around it circulating it. Here is what I was talking about. heres the lesson


Are Atoms Tiny Solar Systems?
Our solar system consists of a sun in the middle with nine smaller planets rotating around it in their orbits. The element Fluorine has a nucleus and nine smaller electrons rotating around it in their orbits.

This may get you curious.
•Is it possible that Fluorine is a solar system similar to ours?
•Is it possible that our solar system is really an atom in a bigger universe?
•Why study such puzzling things?
This lesson will try to answer those questions.
Are electrons planets?
According to the solar system model of matter, every atom consists of a nucleus with a certain number of electrons rotating about the nucleus in their orbits.

Note: More recent theories say that the electrons are better represented as waves, a gas or strings. These theories--as well as the solar system model--all try to represent the real situation.

Look at the example of the element Fluorine, which consists of a nucleus and 9 electrons in orbit. Is it possible that the third electron from the nucleus is similar to the third planet from the Sun—our Earth—except on a very small and different scale?

Perhaps there are even tiny little people or animals living on that electron. When they look out through their tiny telescopes at the other atoms and molecules around them, perhaps they think they are looking at the whole Universe. This may be stretching our imagination, but is it a possibility?

This is like the question: "Do fleas have fleas?"

Are planets electrons?
Our solar system has nine planets rotating around the Sun. Astronomers have recently determined that other stars also have planets rotating around them. They have not been able to detect how many planets are rotating around other stars or suns, because of the great distances involved.

Some stars are very large and some are much smaller than our Sun—just as some atomic nuclei are large and some are small, depending on their atomic number and weight. Since there is this similarity, is it possible that each solar system is really an atom in some physical system?
Our solar system could be similar to Fluorine, while others may be like Oxygen, Iron or Uranium. In fact, the Universe we see through our telescopes may be just the collection of billions of atoms that are in a larger Universe. Perhaps we are part of the atoms on another gigantic living being!

Puzzles of the universe
Of course, none of this can ever be proven—at least not in our lifetime. But it shows that there is a lot more to what is around us than we realize. Thinking and speculation on this sort of thing can be fun to do. Science fiction writers have used such speculation to write stories and movies for use to enjoy.

Look beyond what is obvious. Examine similarities and trends in order to draw some conclusions or create a theory. That is what science is all about.

In conclusion
There is a similarity between solar systems and atoms. By using your imagination, you could suppose that atoms might be tiny solar systems and/or that solar systems may be gigantic atoms. Such speculation is an essential part of scientific study.

i woke up one morning in september and i felt so drowsey, almost like i had been drugged up on cold medicine or something. i went and showered before school. while i was showering, i felt small bumps along my upper right shoulder. it was like a little square of needles and punctured me there! i mean thee are about 12 little white dots forming a perfect square on my arm! how does that catch you? but it doesnt stop there. on my stomach, there are two scars, both above my belly button, that are exactly the same. there about 3 cm. across and paralell.so what do u think? was i abducted by aliens? i certinetly believe in them. ~Phoenix Sorceress~
