Hubble telescope 3D video. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Yes, we are insignificant in the grand scheme of things. Enjoyed the video! __________________ The universe wastes nothing, it's simply transferred. Lynn |

Thank you David. Not many of us visit the Science Forums. I hope the Mods let it stay here. Pluto will always be a planet to me. Seti Ambassador Not to late to order an Anni Shirt |

Excellent. Raises an interesting question though..... ...Out of all those galaxies, we are the only intelligent life out there? I don't think so. |

the blunt truth is that we will never ever know .... SETI@home (& all the volunteers & YOU) will prove the opposite, Chris ! In how many years, that it's another story ! ;) |

Thank you, David. This just points out why I believe so much in what this project is doing. Although the distances and time involved in deep space are immense, this just strengthens my belief that the odds of us being the only intelligent lifeform in the universe are inverse to those statistics, and we are most certainly 'not alone'. With the staggering distances and time involved, it makes our search so very difficult, but all the more important. Meow, out there, meow. "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting."

Great video. I wonder how quiet, or not, it is out there. Member of the People Encouraging Niceness In Society club. |

It kind of makes me think that every thing we will ever want to know is just around the corner! |
