In 1999, I had an arguement with a friend about what goes around comes around. This somehow came to was there a parallel earth somewhere else in the universe. Neither of us were into science although he believed in E.T's. My belief was that as everything (Planet wise), is spherical the Universe must therefore be round. A big balloon type of thing in which all planets and stars are inside. If therefore we pointed out and set off into space we would in the end come back to where we started from. No matter how many lightyears it took. The earth we left would be the same one we left but in a different space time. Sometime later we heard of the SETI program and I decided that although man would never get past the first few planets in our lifetime, it may be possible that light and soundwaves being searched by SETI might prove me correct or then again wrong. Between bouts of bad health and changes of Phone and internet providers I have crunched SETI and the occasional other pojects since. How long is it going to take to get my answer do you think with the progress of computers and the additional manpower of hundreds of thousands now crunching? Baz Alien Pet Lover |

In 1999, I had an arguement with a friend about what goes around comes around. I'm sorry, but this is like watching a film where something ridiculous happens, such that it's impossible to take the rest of the film seriously. You say that everything is round. Excuse me, but egg boxes are not round - they are egg box shaped. And the universe is inside a huge party balloon? Right... flaming balloons |

[/quote] I actually said "what goes around comes around" and yes the "party ballon" might be a bit on the small size, is it must keep getting bigger as our universe expands it now seems.

Hi Baz. Yes, Baz, I saw your post. The problem in what you say is that the Seti project can't pay their current expenses with the money we pay to the power companies. The present situation with no WU's to crunch is because they don't have the proper hardware to run things on due to not having money enough. And I'm not a Mr., I'm a Ms. :-) "I'm trying to maintain a shred of dignity in this world." - Me |
