Haha wouldn't surprise me. I forget where I saw it but some guy dropped something like a quarter million on a missile base for 2012 with a 5 year food supply and was trying to get people to book rooms in it.

Lol, well, that's where wormholes come in. It was something Einstein proposed but only took half-seriously himself. Suppose we could "fold" the fabric of space in on itself and create a "shortcut"? It's something scientists seriously look into these days.

That's what I was thinking. There can't be other life out there! They're not accounted for! They must be heathens.

God I hate Mel Gibson and that movie. Maybe he's one of the aliens.

Lots of water and I'll be sure to "swing away".

As for the comment on how big the universe is, I think there probably is at least something else out there (whether intelligent or not). Where I have an issue is how people think there's some race of super-beings that are going to harvest the earth for resources. I'm not sure if some of the people on this thread are just saying it for a reaction, but that's crazy-talk.

And if this was a movie, which some people seem to think life is I guess, I realize I'd be the first to get abducted.

That's kind of what I had in mind. I had first heard about them on a REALLY fascinating show about space (I couldn't even tell you the name), and that very smart Asian man was on it: Michio Kaku!

I swear. He could explain the most complicated of theories using the most inane and simple demonstrations and examples. That's definitely the sign of an unbelievably intelligent man. "Any fool can make something complicated. It takes a genius to make it simple."

Depending on price and a no-refund policy, this man may be a genius.

Didn't you hear? The world is going to end in 2040 when the planets align. Where in the hell did you hear anything about the world ending in 2012?

I agree. I remember him on a series called The Universe on the History Channel, and he does a fantastic job at explaining things.
