When they send stuff like the hubble space shuttle out, do they go up and across the solar system? Whenever teachers talk about the universe it always makes the solar system seem perfectly horizontally aligned, is this true?

Even a message containing one short string of increasing prime numbers would be all the proof required to say that only an intelligent life form could have produced the message, right? I would agree.

But then what about DNA? Stay with me - even Amoebas - one of the most primitive single celled organisms which would have been among the first life forms on this planet - contain vast quantities of information in their DNA.

Each amoeba in it's cell nucleus contains enough information to fill a 30 volume set of the Encyclopedia Britannica. And this information is all specific instructions on how the ameoba can live, eat, and replicate itself.

How did this happen? Couldn't this be a message from our maker? Proof of an intelligent designer? Why or why not?

Does the orbit of the Earth remain at a constant distance from the Sun, or is it changing. I was just reading another answer to a question that said that the Earth is gaining mass from collecting space debris.

Well if that is true, and we look at the equation for gravitation then it seems as though the radius of the orbit would be changing. Probably a very small amount though.

Fg=G * M1M2/R^2

In past, people tried very hard to measure the orbit of planets based on observation, math and geometry without much accuracy. Nowadays, can our Science technology measure the orbit of planets accurately enough for a long period? The orbit of planets are affected by other planets with different weighting in 3-D, and there are many unknown planets in Universe, which cause any unknown gravity forces from a unknown distance. With current Science technology, do we simply predict the orbit of planets within a limited period [such as 100 years] by fitting an existing orbit of each planet? [Curve Fit] If any error occurs, then do we simply make some adjustment on existing curve of orbit? I would like to know what kinds of Science Technology we currently have to track the orbit of planets accurately. Do we have a true formula to measure the orbit of planets accurately for the next million years? Could anyone tell me how to reply someone's answer for more interpretions on my post? Thank you

Since the ~30 years from my birth sound waves (from my first movements and cries) have travelled 325,346,400km - or about 1000 light seconds.

Light from me (my light cone) has travelled 30 light years.

Now I believe that from my frame of reference, the light has not experienced the passing of time - is that right? - but the sound has (as time slows down as one approaches light speed.

Anyway, just as light reaching us from stars light years away tells us about what has happened in the past, if we could reverse the light from my birth, in it's direction (say by a hypothetical but improbable mirror), in 30 years time we would see the event over again - and be looking back 30 years into the past.

But with the sound, if we could encode it's information into light wavicles, we would be looking only 1000 seconds into the past - or so it would seem.

It this apparent oddity explained by the faster rate at which time passed for the sound (ie. less time dilation)

Since the time distance issue of space travel seems to make UFO's coming from other star systems impractical, maybe they come from our own planet? Is going back in time a possiblity? Is it true that the past, present, and future can exist at the same time?
