The little waning health problem being experienced right now, but at least that of Cylons here, when it rather should be a complete sci-fi story,
for also that of a novel.

And do not forget Hulk either (and not Hulk Hogan) with both a face of stone, and also a green-colored body.

Jumping one page back here, from that of Pseudoscience instead, where I initially left off.

but in the fantasy movies they use subspace communications. is subspace realistic ?

From my understanding a subspace is still a warped space-time. Our space-time is very much warped especially near massiv objects like our sun and even much more near the super massiv black hole in our galaxy.
Now how realistic is that other intelligent beeings have the technology to warp universe and gathering enough energy to create "shortcuts" just to even trying sending a message virtually FTL using this effect?
I would say none.
Just to setting up this communication line is immense.

Indeed.

sub-space

They failed to mention Babylon 5. I forget what they called their version of subspace. Maybe it does exist and is where dark matter and dark energy hides. With up to 90% of the universe unseen and unexplained there is a lot of room to speculate.

My motto: Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow as it may not be required. This no longer applies in light of current events.

To go interstellar by spaceships or messages would logically have to involve FTL technology

I think that's the bottom line, really. Even if we get some sort of significant signal, we won't be able to communicate properly. My hope is the concept of a wormhole is possible and that we may be able to travel to the source of the signal that way.

What about Voyager 2 ????

What about Voyager 2 ????

hope I did it right

From what I've read Voyager 1 will need to travel another 30+years to be totally clear of our solar system..

Voyager 1 distance = 20 minutes of a light year.

Actually about 20 light hours, not minutes - a bit of pencil trouble me thinks.

Looking for the actual distances for the two Voyagers I found this web page:

Lots of things I never knew I wanted needed to know about the two Voyagers

Thanks everyone, for information about V2. :)

@Chris, Sorry for posting in your thread, and not reading thru. :(

I think there was a Jesuit priest who gave them that knowledge. Jesuits are good astronomers, as witnessed by Georges Lemaitre who was the first to write that the Universe was expanding. But he wrote it in French in a Belgian magazine and it was not widely read. Now astronomers are debating if the name of the Hubble constant must become Hubble-Lemaitre constant.

They quarreled with Galileo, who had built "occhiali" witch lenses, that are displayed in the Museo della Scienza in Florence. One contention was the priority of the discovery of sunspots, seen by Father Scheiner too. Another was a theory of tides, in which Galileo was wrong and the Jesuits right, and a third one I cannot remember. I don't know if they had any "occhiale" like those of Galileo.

Ancient edifices that can not be re-created today,

That is a quote so often flung around and is absolutely wrong.

Any and all of these can be recreated easily with modern equipment , math and computers.

In fact we could build them all in the way that the clever ancients did as well.

Oxen, ropes, log rollers, water or fat for lubrication--Possibly human power as well. These huge stones were not hoisted off the ground---they were dragged across the sand on rollers, and most likely greased wooden rails. Oxen were used or gangs of human builders which were not overly large.

The Washington Monument stands 555 feet high --higher than the great pyramid and has precisely fitted stones that have no means of attachment other than their own weight.
The Shahyad monument in Iran Had 25000 large stones and was clad inside with 8000 slabs of white marble.

Always ;-)

gods coming from the sky.

It does seem like a lot of religions use this description, but I've always taken it symbolically and metaphorically. The sky was and still is a natural place for us to look up and see all sorts of things from daily weather to meteor showers.

Ancient edifices that can not be re-created today

I know the debate is still on about how certain ancient structures were built, and I'm not convinced one way or the other, but I take my hat off to whoever had that capability, and if it is by mere earthly means, it's definitely amazing just in the idea that they were able to organize huge groups of people over long periods of time to do these things. That's real leadership and teamwork.

and are only fully appreciated from the air etc.

The Nazca lines fascinate me in that respect.

No God or any Super Natural BS Please, sick and fed up of hearing of gods, We exist today
because of evolution over millions of years, not a few thousand..
In Australia most of us don't believe but live and tolerate believers..
You guys in US are your worst enemies, pushing your beliefs past your shores..
There is NO GOD!!
Maybe in the past people were able to float above the clouds, but was not GODs doing

No point... everytime a post regarding my feelings of a God is mentioned it get canned..

Many scientists believed in God, Galileo,Newton, Einstein, Schroedinger to name just a few. But everyone of them believed in a different God, not always the God of the Bible. God has different names in the main religious faiths. Usually one one them is a sacred name, that cannot be pronounced. This is the name to which the first of the Ten Commandments refers.
