h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

check out what i have been working on!! A23672405

OOH Pretty Fish, wats the code for them?

Yes, how d'you do that?

you remove the U in the url and type testuserpage in its place and it will show you the code ...if you want to use it or anything else i put in there go ahead

ohhhh i am sorry... thats only good for personal space page.... i will try to find out how to test guide entry pages... and put the info in Fish instead of here .... this is for Sausages!!

Replace "TestUserPage" by simply "Test" would do the trick

yeah i asked the h2g2 community thank you !!

so Whats instead of "U" is it the A?

"Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish zombie, can make you live forever, if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree."

ohhhh maybe this is what caused the BB! ...cosmically speaking!

I think that proves it.
The question is, if the BS caused the BB, what caused the BS?

It begs the question, if there's a finite number of idiots in the universe, who's SWL going to talk to?

There's always Sorb I suppose.

i think the subject is taking a breather

It may raise the question, but it doesn't beg it

V. interesting. Never knew about that. I think those campaigners are a bit like King Cnut,though.

That's Cnut as in Canute, of course.

I was just wondering when we consider ET life, do we need to consider life in our Galaxy or life in the Universe.
These may seem not too different but what are the chances of contacting Extra-Galactic life. Even in our own Galaxy, apart from knowing there is life out there, it isn't very useful contacting anything further than a couple of hundred light years, and even then conversation would be tricky.
With in a hundred light years would be something. At least we could exchange information and have an understanding as long as it could be mantained. Less than 50 light years and less, we could send a questiong and hope to be alive to hear the reply.

I think the point I'm trying to make is if we wanted to contact ET life, would it be any help at all to consider anything beyond our own Galaxy. Detecting life anywhere in the Galaxy would be great but how close does it need to be before it becomes more annoying at being too far away than useful?

PS. I was going to sign off after coming back from holiday but since we're back to talking scinece (I think), I'll stick around.

we may not be alone, but looking at great distances in space is pointless in terms of finding forign life, as the light will meet your eye, and you will see what was happening even millions of years ago in one place, making it useless to try and look for alian current alian life as we would just bee seeing into the past, or seeing past events from many years back appear now
