Re: OT: Contact
I enjoyed this movie. I liked the irony weaved into it.
As for Foster fans... I think she's cute too... but fellas, you are out of luck... you don't have the right equipment for her...  |

And don't forget what the hitchhiker's guide has to say on the subject:
"THE UNIVERSE: Some Information to help you live in it.
POPULATION: NONE
It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, but not every one is inhabited. Therefore there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so if every planet in the Universe has a population of zero then the entire population of the Universe must be zero, and any people you may actually meet from time to time are merely products of a deranged imagination."
Douglas Adams rocks, and the HHG will live forever. |

Re: OT: Contact
Like I said, until one of those aliens lands on the white house lawn and says "I come in peace, take me to your leader" I will Subscribe to the fact that life does not exsist elsewhere in the universe.
Planet life and single celled organizms excluded.

So, if the universe has a wall, what's behind that wall?

Re: OT: Contact
The movie was alright, but I wasn't thrilled with some of the changes made to the story in the book, but then that always happens when a book is brought to screen.  |

Your speculating again.

Re: OT: Contact
AT, you are just avoiding answering the question. Space is either finite or infinite. If it is finite, what is on the other side of it? What is on the other side of the border of empty nothingness? More nothingness? That would be more space... This would be part of a proof by contradiction that it is infinite in size...
