It was called "The Fourth Reich" it was a nicely researched conspiracy theory novel which is very entertaining, in about the third chapter it says how the Nazi's technology was FAR more advanced then modern history leads us to believe. It in fact says that the bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki used Plutonium created by the Germans, because the Manhattan project failed to yield the necessary amount of Uranium to produce the bombs. It also mentions how the German's were able to create UFO's and goes into great detail. It sounds a bit crazy but its all cited, so take it as you will. Its a book worth reading if you like history and wouldn't mind seeing another take on it. http://www.jimmarrs.com/store.php Cost me like 20$ in Barnes and Noble like 5 months ago. | ||

My personal opinion is that if things like this were true, they would get more attention rather than being in some random book at B&N. I mentioned it was my opinion because people on the internet seem to like to point out when things are opinions even when it's really obvious. | ||

The fact that we don't have interstellar travel now is irrelevant. It wasn't so long ago that the first men started harnessing fire while now that same power is used to propel their descendants to the moon. Another 50,000 years would be the blink of an eye in the history of the universe while the advancement required is nothing compared to how far man has already come. For starters, I don't think I 'need to realize' that humanity is only ~50k years old. I very well understand your point. However, I believe we are getting to a point where the scientist is better than the historian at answering questions about if certain technologies and advancements are attainable. Regardless, he said "but it almost certainly will be very 'soon' relative to the age of the universe." Because humans have not been around for that long, you consider interstellar colonization a likelihood? Even if we were assured that humans would be around for a billion years, that doesn't mean that we will accomplish anything that we want to. | ||

I'm sure there's a couple controversial ones that are worth discussing, but most are BS. hmm... i believe many alien sightings and reports are pretty ridiculous as well, so following ur logic i will stop believing in aliens... | ||

I am in complete love w/ the idea of Aliens. I'm hoping that if there is aliens, they're more liek Protoss, rather than Zerg. That they have more useful technology (even meaning if they could eradicate us) but perhaps, likewise to the Protoss, follow a belief of Dae'Uhl or The stewardship - where they just 'oversee' and protect lesser species under their galactic patrol. Theres possibilites of both kinds of aliens, the technologically advanced, but also the rather bug-like or totally hideous kind that's hell-bent on infesting and expanding. I think it's prolly the very best idea of having hope of space-exploration. I mean c'mon. U know how much $$ america alone is spending on its space-missions and exploration? I'm talking about we're spending more trying to send shuttles into space and look for extra life than anything else! Like - if we quit doing that, we'd prolly not have such a high national debt (not that i'm against space-exploration, just that jeeez.. thats a lot of $$$) Who's to say we're not alone here.. There have been the rumors of Area 51 and Roswell from way back, I think in the 50's.. but thats highly skeptical as we've still haven't gotten that much proof from it. However, hearing details about our universe from a highly-informative series called "The universe" off the history channel - it's totally and mind-blowingly unbelieveable how lucky we are to have the Earth. I seriously wish at least everyone reading this post and using this website would take a step back and really deep-think and appreciate the Earth for what it is and how long we've had it. I wish the entire world could - but they can't all navigate to this site immediately. Whats so impressive about the Earth: It's in the Perfect position away from the Sun to sustain life. I'm talking about pretty serious, pretty advanced life. I heard from that show that through space-exploration, we've discovered like up to 300 other worlds... THREE HUNDRED other worlds.. Worlds just like ours, that have land and an atmosphere - not just planets that are totally gaseous like Jupiter that no one could ever inhabit (not that some of those others are inhabitable, but we could at least land there and terra-form etc) But - of those so many worlds that have been discovered already and named, NONE of them are even close to sustaining life.. even bacteria related. Can you fathom that ppl? Think of how big this planet is. I mean, even a state of America is huge.. land-wse. Then u got the Americas. Europe. Asia. Antartica. Earth itself is huge. Thats just ONE planet. We've found SOO many others - yet none even close to having water.. or a tree, or parasites. Even those would at least hold the possibility of eventual evolvement (yes, I believe in evolving, totally more understandable than the belief of a "mighty one") So ya, that alone makes me truly appreciate the Earth - The ONLY recorded planet to sustain such a diverse enviroment of life. Plants, Animals, Insects, Rivers, Mountains, Cars, Technology, Internet, everything.. We as humans should be totally more respectful of not only each other, but the ONE AND ONLY planet we have - our time is coming to an end. p.s. That's why movies these days are making human-beings out to be the bad-guys in films, because of our disrepect of the earth. Movies like "The happening" or "The Day the earth stood still" (new version w/ Keanu Reeves) Also - for those living in the states and watch tv, you notice that they play "The day after tomarrow" like 3x's a week.. Ya yo.. Global warming is about to own our asses.. but that's getting onto another topic.. <3 idea of aliens <3 earth gL | ||

Once we figure out fusion, and I have no doubt that we will within the next century, most of our natural resource problems will completely vanish because of just how much output fusion reactors have. So much actually that all the oil companies would be put completely out of business within two to three years. Which is exactly why fusion will never be discovered. | ||

The probability that there is intelligent life may be small, but in the vast expanses of infinity, it is almost GUARENTEED to happen. Great example posed by a friend ..

The way the keyboard is designed that doesn't make any sense. If i pounded my keyboard no matter what I would never get a real word, just gibberish. For example: if i hit the left side of my keyboard I'm bound to hit a QAWSZX. There isn't a word in the dictionary with those letters together. | ||
