The chance of life coming from Mars is less than a million to 1

And when were you last invited to a party ... that didn't include Pass the Parcel and Musical Chairs?

People seem to lose my invite in the post.

Correct. I lost a power of 10 somewhere, ...

You've lost a power of 10 there too

Well done!

But the burning question is

1. Does the beach have any decent bars?
2. Is it popular with the laydeez?

Someone on here once posted the link to this webcam. I regularly refer to it: "The Royal Palms, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. I hate every person you can see in this image." It has something to do with someone who was once on CUK, I believe.

In order for life to have a chance we need to have water, there is ice on Mars but no liquid water has been found. If there was life on Mars its frozen in fossil form and it will be hard to find i.e. its like asking someone in this site to find some frozen dog poo in the tundra.


Pretty sure we are not alone, very suprised that no other life has sent a consistent signal accross the universe that is repeating and intelligable - that is the WORRYING part of all this, the signal would have to be faster than light which means that no life has been able to invent such a transmission device (probably) which is again .. worrying i.e. is there a limit beyond which technology cannot go or is it that we are at or near the tech level of all intelligent life in the universe (a depressing thought).

How would we pick up the transmission? What technology would we need?

Also, the assumption that other intelligent life would use e-m waves to communicate is very odd - just because we do doesn't mean they haven't found other means.

Good point I guess we just don't know how to build a faster than light signal 'receiver'.

Although I am worried about why other life forms more intelligent than ourselves have not revealed themselves yet. Are we just not worth it ? or do they fear something about revealing themselves and their location to others unknown (more worry).
