Yes!

Give it a listen.

For idiots to watch.

Because, in plain text, I was asking where the motherships are around?

Sadly, I also happen to know that Stella Polaris is a Cepheid Variable Type II, varying its apparent luminosity between 1.95 and 2.05.

So, do not make a fool of me because I am claiming a couple of things or making some hypothetical guesses.

Returning to the video right now.

You do not need a big credit (or the local anti-smoke advertisements) in order to be able to understand or comprehend this stuff.

Just noticed this.

I am using Google Chrome rather than Internet Explorer for web-surfing.

A little box showing my user name at the top right in the browser shows that I am currently logged in.

So, what about the mentioned tabs (for windows)?

Also, for the icon on the status bar (to the right of the Start-menu) or button.

Unncessary or unneeded in my opinion.

Please revert and go back on this, Google. It's only in the way when doing things.

Critters I, Critters II.

Possibly some four such movies in total.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critter

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critter

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critters_(film)

Try the last link above for this.

Movies meant for the sake of entertainment only.

Rather believe in the Bible than some ugly looking creatures which have been created from pure phantasy.

Oh, because the city of San Francisco were having 6-storey buildings and cars in the street before the big quake of 1906, apparently there were no digital watches and computers around at that time.

Are we assumed to be doing just a little better because of this difference?

Message 1629123 - Posted: 17 Jan 2015, 22:37:45 UTC - in response to Message 1629120.  

By the way, Julie.

I may perhaps tell you that I was in Brussels for some 10 days back in 1992 as a result of a planned visit which was part of my computer studies at the High School here in town.

One of the things I remember well is the brown dirty soil which came into my shoes and made things quite unpleasant. I was in a hurry at that time and it became one of many things being learnt.

Anyway, I will make this posting a short one because I started up the evening here and will be out of here in a couple of minutes.

Today I was once again noticing the fact that distributed projects are about finding the needle in the haystack.

You are not always supposed to be successful in what you are doing when being a participant of such a project or projects.

Seti@home is supposed to be all about finding "little green men" in space.

More politely and importantly from both a user's perspective as well as being an amateur astronomer, this project is about finding possible intelligence in nature.

For this purpose, number collection and analysis on recorded data are currently aiding our search for such intelligence, being it anything from UFO's possibly being observed to "Angels in the sky".

Same goes with PrimeGrid as a number research project. Its main purpose is to find huge prime numbers by means of a specific algorithm, although there may also be people around who may suggest that a prime number is seldom or rarely found because a given number may be subject to a factorization in order to return possible such primes.

So, therefore it may be possible, or feasible, to make a distinction between those things that may look or appear as being basic in nature and those things who may end up being something more or less out of the ordinary.

Being able or unable to obtain a given or specific result may partly be as a result of the resources, more specifically computing resources being available. In many instances the human factor should also be considered.

Factoring and factorization could well be a distributed project, examples of this may be Yafu or the current NFS@home under BOINC.

But apparently there may not be too much of it around when it comes to the results being obtained. Some large integer numbers have been factorized, but there also are other numbers around which very well could have been done the same for, but which still are not.

The question may in the end be that Seti@home is not finding what it is looking for because the project does not know what it should be looking for.

Remember I mentioned the musical band Genesis in one of my previous postings. The main reason for why life is being present here on earth is because we are living in an environment which makes such a thing possible.

One of these factors still is gravity. You may not credit me very much when I am mentioning the subject of time, but the force of gravity is still around as being one of the four main forces of nature.

The reason why you sometimes are unable to believe is because you may in fact not be knowing certain things that better should make you understand the difference between one thing or the other.

An example here.

Make up your own mind when it comes to this subject.

Good night!

Apparently winter is still with us.

At least here where I am living.

I had a visit to the climateprediction.net web pages a little earlier on because I wanted to make a check on credit given by a single task I ran a couple of weeks ago. Apparently they now had found the time for granting me credit.

So, by visiting this page, you may be directed to a Getting started page, with a woman giving a little smile at me.

That is all. I probably will not be running any of these tasks anymore.

The main reason is really the basic fact that we are not able to predict the weather tomorrow, at least not correctly with today's technology. So, therefore I find it of no value using the computer resources I have on something like that.

Also, the main factor is that the number of individual factors becomes so large that the climate becomes possible to predict. Man made factors like pollution is one such example.

Definitely climate warming is as a result of humanity and not the radiation coming from the sun.

Supposedly the sun is having both cold as warm periods or epochs, but these cycles are natural ones and the ice ages that we have had in the past may be explained by understanding these periodic cycles of our sun.

Compare such a scientific field with the rest of the nature of physics. When it comes to mathematics and the necessary equations being used for this, exactness and preciseness is a very important factor. For a given variable, a series of estimated or projected numbers are being inserted and used by an equation in order to be able to obtain a desired and specific result.

When doing such a calculation, a computer is likely to be used for such a purpose. Therefore one may assume that such a computer is carrying out the necsessary calculations in a correct way.

Also you are supposed to a believe in the validity of such a result when it is being obtained. Take the well known example of the ice world. Is anything supposed to be changing or developing in such a world when no factors are included and no change is happening otherwise?

Apparently the answer is no when it comes to this question.

Should knowledge about a given subject perhaps favor belief versus disbelief?

Most people probably do not believe in little green men, but we all take it for granted that we are alone in space and have never been visited by someone else.

Definitely having knowledge is the most important thing here. You may be laughed at at times nevertheless, but at least you should have reason to believe (or not) when doing such things.

Apparently I woke up early here from a strange dream this morning.

Possibly it was the musical band Genesis trying to sing a song, but as far as I remember, it was rather more about the subject of life and life processes.

Here on earth we assume that life is thriving because of air, water and the sun heating things up.

Life is based on chemistry and biological processes which are happening as a result of organic material being present as a result of such principles.

Your physical body contains some 60% water. The molecule responsible for carrying oxygen to the cells in your body is hemoglobin.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemoglobin

We do not have magnesium in our bodies because this is rather found in plants instead. This is what makes them green in color when compared with the color of human blood.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium

A table of the Periodic Elements is being found at the bottom of this article.

Both organic processes and those forces responsible for our weather is because of the physical processes that are behind.

You may feel warm after a warm meal, at least after a while, but this is not because of any fusion processes going on in your body. Definitely some scientists have been speaking about cold fusion, but that may have been because they have had a good meal.

Physicists are busy finding out how different particles relate against each other. They eventually come up with models which are explaining how things interact with each other and how they are working in practice.

One such particle is the so-called Higgs boson. You may never be able to think of a particle as being intelligent or the possible carrier of intelligence, but some scientists have chosen to nick-name this particle the "God" particle.

In order to understand physical processes, mathematics is being used for this purpose.

Rather than speaking about God, it should be more easy to assume that the processes of life are based on complex chemical and organic processes which are happening because of the assumed laws of physics which are making such things possible.

The important fact is that physics lecturers are not supposed to be thinking about the processes behind life as we happen to know it, because biology is all about organic molecules being present and making up a physical body. In order to define intelligent life, a brain is assumed to be present with an organic body and possible thinking as well as dreaming are assumed to be as a result of biological processes which are happening in our brains.

But am I possibly wrong here in my thinking?

Ask a neurologist and he will be able to tell you that the brain is in fact composed of cells, but rather than doing the same thing as the cells of the muscles in you body, the cells of your brain are in fact nerve cells instead and working more on the principle of small electric charges being carried by a specialized molecule along nerve fibers which are linking the individual neurons that are representing the cells of a brain.

So the question becomes as follows.

Most of the time the principles behind chemistry, biology and physics are easy to understand and comprehend because we take certain things for granted. At times, however, dreams and intuition are forming our lives and makes us both think and carry out the business of our daily lifes based on such experiences.

If a possible dream or intuition is forming or perhaps changing our way of life, is it possible to give an easy explanation for certain things and is it possible to assume that it is happening at all?

Anything from oxygen and water through DNA is there for a specific purpose in mind. Air and water is the main reason for why life is existing at all and DNA is the reason for why intelligent life is being present here on earth.

Some people may believe that intelligence is not only as a result of chemical, organical, or biological processes alone, but may well be the result of physical laws that are governing the presence of everything. Even the Higgs boson, being a single particle, may not be able to explain everything, but both our world as well as the rest of the universe is a result of four main forces which all are related to the subject of physics and therefore subject to mathematical equations in order to understand its inner workings and behavior.

Therefore, physicists should never be speaking about the Higgs boson being the "God" particle, because they are not supposed to be dealing with the subjects of chemistry and biology.

Religion is not necessary giving an explanation for those things we not always are taking for granted, like thinking and dreaming. Still intelligence supposedly is based on these facts and not the processes which makes life possible in nature.

Make a sound.

How does this this appear like when looking at it with an oscilloscope?

Is this research field still subject to scientific scrutiny and examination?

Right now the Wow signal may not be conclusive proof of any presence of extraterrestrial intelligence. Being detected and analyzed, it only appears as an overloaded wave signal which contains a heavy overload of tones, possibly musical ones, which when carefully being listened at gives a possible hint of its true nature.

For now it may not seem that the playback data for this signal may be converted into a corresponding digital transmission or message, however.

At times in the past there were possibly artificial signals being inserted into the work unit files, either for testing purposes, possibly radar interference or other reasons behind it as well. There were a number of different explanations for each of the results that were being obtained.

Either an intelligent signal is being detected because it is so strong that it shows up in the numbers that are being processed.

If the Seti@home client by means of including autocorrelation as part of its processing is intelligent enough to discern an intelligent signal from the background, it may either show up in the graphics when being enabled, or otherwise be visible in the numbers that are being processed.

Is it possible to assume or conclude that a strong narrowband signal would be detected by means of the current client and if so, how would such a signal look like when comparing the numbers in it with for example a signal curve?

A gaussian is supposedly a carrier of information, because it is a computed value or element. A specific computation for this purpose is transforming the analog data being recorded into binary elements.

At times, since a gaussian is being represented by a curve, one may think of it as being a representation of an analog value, because an analog signal is having the shape of a wave.

A channel is analog in nature. The same is the radio frequency band. What we are able to detect are really sounds and noises and this has to be converted into binary numbers in order to be understood.

The main point is that data that are supposed to be recorded or transmitted by means of analog principles or technology has to be converted into bits and bytes (meaning binary) in order to be understood and comprehended.

One may ask the following question - what is the next step from being able to obtain a decent gaussian score or a high power triplet? Definitely an intelligent signal is supposed to be much more and because of this it is possible that it may not be detected, regardless of being strong when it comes to its emanation as well as the inherited complexity which may be hidden in such a possible signal.

If you wish to throw me in the face when it comes to science alone, you are of course welcome.

Make up your opininon and please stick with the subject.

In the end science becomes the winner and not those who are supposed to thwart it.

As long as the Church is not hitting me in the head, I will protect and support it.

Some good people in there as well.

A little notice to you.

Please don't believe in me.

Don't ever trust me either.

If an intelligent signal was ever found, give the credit to the account belonging to the U.S. Governmnent, currently showing or giving a credit of 1,170,000 or so.

Where am I supposed to be getting such information or answer?

Oh, don't think that I am that stupid.

Curiosity supposedly killed the cat.

The predator of course gets free, possibly with a smile, or is even laughing at you.

Hit me with a 13 digit gaussian score and I may perhaps make a better differentiation between "teeth" and a friendly smile.

In the end she is going by means of a name. I leave it for you to guess.

You know, owls are not supposed to be weeping. Rather you are supposed to be shouting at me.

Again.

Wrinkers, wrinklers.

Should I perhaps be doing more when it comes to given or certain things?

Make a choice between a howling owl and a barking dog.

Perhaps give a word for a friend who for some reason became lost.

Definitely, garbled langugage is of no help when it comes to a project, despite given wishes or feelings when it comes to the same.

Who is supposed to be in the other end?

You better dedice. It is smile against a grimace (read make faces).

Yes, better make a fool out of me and think I am stupid.

Am I supposed to be hitting out at someone, without getting punished.

Oh, no!

Including a smile.

I probably never saw Eric in the sauna being awake and aware of his surroundings.

You are excused, my friend.

But does the same go with everything else?

Is it all about giving a smile and a possible helping hand?

Get rid of the problems, please.

This thread.

http://setiathome.berkeley.edu/forum_thread.php?id=74455

You certainly are well aware that most of my postings becomes unanswered.

I appreciate James Sotherden being a contributor to this community. He is always that polite.

By means of doing science, it is because of our constant wish to be able to know and understand certain things.

Because science apparently no longer is in direct conflict with the church, we rather may ask ourselves what science is all about and what we are looking for.

By doing science we are using certain tools for this purpose. Because of our minds, we leave computational or routine based work for our computers to carry out.

So what about human perception or thinking in all of this?

If someone tells me that 340282366920938463463374607431768211457 is not a prime number, but rather a composite number having two factors, am I supposed to believe in such a thing?

If I try this out myself, I am indeed able to make the same conclusion myself. However I did not find something new that was not known already.

Supposedly an intelligent message was once broadcast from earth towards the globular cluster M13 back in 1974 because someone knew that two prime numbers multiplied with each other is supposed to make a composite number.

How do you make Adam and Eve out of the multiplication of two such numbers? They are not even that large when it comes to their relative sizes.

Remember, this is the Cafe, not the Science Board. Put sense at the proper place where it belongs and nonsense somewhere else.

Time to enjoy the beer and potato chips for the rest of the evening and perhaps watching a YouTube video. In fact it became 05:04 AM in the morning here.

Night!

Oh, we did celebrate another New Year's Eve, didn't we?

Last year I told you we apparently were having visitors here in town.

I spent the evening inside my flat and did not walk outside.

The major fireworks marking the celebrations only lasted a short while, but there was a quite a big round already at about 7 or 8 PM in the evening.

When the clock went past 11 PM, I had some two beers inside and was feeling slightly drizzly. Nothing more.

But again there were yellow lights above the fireworks flying around. The sky was cloudy, but no saturation.

Only a light breeze when it came to the wind.

So what might be assumed to be Chinese lanterns or the like was being observed to be moving around, quite discretely, but with yellowish lights being visible. At times these objects apparently blew up in size from almost a point to a balloon and what to me appeared as either a light bulb or flash light being enclosed by a cloth or canvas that is not dark when it comes to color but not completely white either.

These objects move around independently of wind and speed and although apparently leisurely so, they are able to change their position quite rapidly over some time. Also they seem to be able to almost disappear at times, although I was able to track one of these objects using binoculars.

We are having a communication tower here in town being used by my service provider. At the top is a cafe or restaraunt which only is accessible by means of an elevator. The antennae is mounted atop the restaurant and it ends in a red light bulb meant for air traffic.

When having a look at the tower through my binoculars, there were three yellowish bulbs on one side of it and two on the other side. The distance was impossible to determine because of the darkness of the night. It could well have been in the front of it or closer.

The man responsible for putting the light bubble at the top definitely knows that the ground is some 500 feet below.

Some 30 minutes before 12 PM, I noticed a plane flying in the sky. To me this looks as an inappropriate moment of flying, but it definitely was a plane.

Right now I am still unable to make any definite conclusion when it comes to this, but when first noticing these objects, I knew they were from somewhere else. They are not here at other times of the year and to most people having to much alcohol in their blood and not able to notice (not all people are astronomers or scientists, even I become drunk at times), they become unnoticed.

So, take it for what it is assumed to be. Me and all the rest being drunk and celebrating New Years Eve. Fireworks going up in the sky and Chinese lanterns flying around being part of the celebrations.

What a disguise. Always a good explanation when it comes to everything. If a story gets to the headlines, it is not supposed to be as a result of trusted or even naive people coming around and telling about their experiences.

Even though some light bulbs may be visible, you are not supposed to make any assumptions or guesses when it comes to possible intelligence being behind. Rather you should look at it as being a natural phenomenon, possibly being unexplained.

In some instances, such events becomes documented stories because they are being investigated. Some people supposed to be either trusted or otherwise down to earth people are known to have been experiencing "knock-down" experiences.

Either you do not believe in such stories and if you end up doing such a thing, you may find it hard to be believed by other people you possibly may find who are willing to be listening to the the experience you just had.
