Okay, we know that there really is no way right now, that we can know if there are other civilizations out there somewhere. But! Do you think that it is possible that sometime in the near future, we could intercept some of their frequencies? Some say this has already been done and is top secrete classified information. I have no idea. I figure that could be a matter of opinion. But to me, it does seem very possible! Am I wrong? Since there are so many stars and galaxies out there, I am certain that there has to be another planet similar to ours. Whether there are civilizations, dinosaurs, or other animals on those planets of course remains a mystery. I am fascinated by this though. Its quite interesting.

I live in Jacksonville and want to head down to see the Dec 6th launch. I was told that it's pricey to go watch the launch inside the space center but that you can go just south of cape canaveral and watch it from the beach. I'm not sure where though. Could someone tell me where is a good place...maybe what exit off of 95? Thanks

I like astronomy but I scored only 19 out of 47 on this online quiz about astronomy http://www.tuitionplaza.com/tutoring/question.asp?FID=146
Does this mean my knowledge of astronomy is below average?

So a parallel universe is.......what again? I just know that there is another world out there that can explain everything in the universe.

I just watched a documentary by the BBC on M-Theory. You can see it from the front page my blog if you ever have the time...

Basically what it comes down to, is that the universe we live in is not the only one out there. There could even be an infinite number of them. I just want to know how this affects your belief in God...IF it does.

I can't understand how an observer in either a spherical, hyperbolic or flat universe will be able to tell the difference between the three. Surely if he was to measure the angles in a triangle in all three cases, the light would bend in accordance to the curvature of the universe and show that in each case, the angles in a triangle = 180.

I can understand how this works from an outside perspective of the universe, but not how insiders like this would be able to tell the difference

help!?

Galaxies and hurricanes. They have an extremely similar shape. I suppose this has alot to do with gravity. But it is interesting nevertheless. You you ever thought of this: Our solar system is like a giant atomic system? so mabe in a way we are just a tiny atom in a much larger element? It seems that most things in the universe are either circular or spiral in shape. And the same can be said if you look at an atom under a microscope. Its like a huge chain. Starts out small and continues to get unknowingly huge!

I Have Been Doing Some Research On The North Star(Polaris) And I Have Been Told That It Move But VERY Little...Is This True???I Have Been Told This Many Times. Is It Or Is It Not???
Personally I Believe That It Does move VERY Little...Heres My Source For My Thinking-
http://www.coldwater.k12.mi.us/lms/planetarium/myth/polaris.html
To our eyes, Polaris appears to be motionless at the center of the field of circumpolar stars. All the other stars appear to circle about Polaris. As early as 320 B.C. the Greeks had realized that Polaris did not mark the pole exactly. Until then many people had believed that the heavenly pole was absolutely and eternally fixed. Not so. Polaris has long been moving nearer the North Celestial Pole, as it is still doing now. It will be closest to that position around A.D. 2105--27'. Currently it is about 1° from the celestial pole.

Does Anyonw Have Anything Against This Sight That I Should Know About!!
If So Tell Me Thanks!!!!
