   we are not the only ones of our nature in the universe

   That’s a statement of faith, not of science. If they existed, they would be here.

   Ironically, there’s all kinds of forensic evidence for beings of a nature that transcends ours, yet many refuse to believe it.

   I believe in UFOs, but they don’t believe in me.

   I quit believing in aliens after the abduction.
   They didn’t look anything like they do in the movies, so they must not have been for real.

   Why should ET look so macabre? He’s only a human creation for Hollywood.

   Rakkav, maybe they have been here, took one look, and decided never to return.

   Added note: The Blue Circle PAC is not something which the current creators of this strip made up. It really exists.

    Despite the travel utilities of the movie 2001 and tv shows like Stargate, I seriously doubt that alien lifeforms can achieve the speed to traverse distances of light years, much less time travel.

    Regardless, there is life elsewhere in the universe. There are about 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars estimated to be in the visible universe.

    So we’ve got this guy who whines and complains and talks about everything wrong with the country, and he’s got a moustache and short-cropped hair, and some of his stuff comes off as insane ranting, and he’s ex-military, and…

    ADOLF HITLER? OH N0Z!

                   MATH AND UNIVERSE  FACTS
    
    

    100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 is defined as one hundred quintillion. The estimated number of stars in the visible universe.

    Picture a “1” with 78 zeroes following it. This is the estimated number of atoms in the visible universe.

    Picture a “1” with 100 zeroes following it. Called a “googol,” this is the largest defined number in modern mathematics.

    As defined a googol is over 28% larger than the estimated number of all the atoms in the entire visible universe.

    So…of what practical use is a googol in every day life? In your lifetime it’s highly doubtful that you will ever meet anyone wealthy enough to be considered a genuine “googolaire.”

    Don’t clutter your mind with mundane trash like your cell phone number, social security number, driver’s license number, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Instead, memorize the facts above! Think how you’ll be able to wow and impress everyone at social gatherings, on first dates, in job interviews, etc.

    This is your big chance! Don’t blow it!!

    It’s information content not relative size that determines significance. The informed complexity of every living cell dwarfs the information content of a star. Professors Peter Ward & Donald Brownlee of the University of Washington in Seattle have written a book called ‘Rare Earth’ explaining why complex life is uncommon in the universe.

    He was a US Air Force professional all his life? Even as a baby?

    I believe in aliens, but they don’t believe in abducting me. We have evidence of aliens on Earth. People just won’t accept it. They demand the aliens pop down in a grand show and say here we are, and we have nothing better to do than travel the universe making alien lives easier and better. If you won’t give a homeless person money, why would aliens come down and give us clean energy, cures to diseases that exist only on Earth, etc?

    Haven’t read Rare Earth, but even at the complex celluar level, given the likely existence of numerous stars with planets of the right mass in the right location, it is also both probable and likely that “uncommon” life exists elsewhere. The fact that it exists here is awesome.

    A googal is not the largest defined number. That would be a googalplex, which is a googal raised to the googalth power, or 1 followed by 10,000 zeroes.

    susanwobb said, 2 months ago

    Excuse me but a googolplex is 1 followed by a googol zeroes. 10 to the googol power. Way bigger than 10 to the 10,000 power. 10,000 is a wee puny exponent. Googolplex is even less useful than googol.

    If you don’t believe in Dragons, Unicorns, or UFOs, they won’t believe in you. But if you don’t believe in Angels or Dinosaurs, they will still believe in you.

    How it stands with BEN - Bigfoot, Elvis, and Nessie - I don’t know.
