Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

Just sayin'.

The surest sign that there is intelligent life in the universe is that they haven’t tried to contact us.

I am no expert and I am sure there its evidence but my point is things on that scale are harder to prove than something earth based.

Indeed.

But seeing is believing for some conspiracy theorists.

The daft imbecile is only able to accept the reality presented to him by his eyes.

Albert Einstein theorised the existence of black holes is 1916. It took 103 years to get the first image of one.

Unfortunately, the Big Bang has already happened everywhere in the Universe so we’ll never be able to see it but when we look into space, we look back in time. The James Webb will see the oldest stars but none of them (so far) are more than 13.8 billion years old. If they find one that is, it will be front page news across the world.

That’s the one. Lovely. Thanks .

But what about all of the people who have been 'probed' by alien life forms. And why do they only ever 'probe' people with less teeth than fingers ? There is just so much we still don't know ???

Both Darwin and Einstien have since been proved wrong ! ,we should learn that we will be wrong so that we can recognise when we are right rather than assume we already have the answers .

Darwin said we evolved from the apes ,he was wrong ,we are the ONLY (so called member ) of the Simians that can not inter breed EVERY other one can .

Enlighten me. What did Einstein get wrong?

Scientists don’t assume their theories are the right answers by the way, their theories just have enough scientific consensus from fellow ‘experts’ to be the best explanation to date.

I’m assuming scientific literature would not be your specialist subject when you finally make that much sought appearance on mastermind?

“In his book 'The Descent of Man' published in 1871, English naturalist Charles Darwin presented the idea that human beings and apes have a common ancestor. Contrary to common perception, which is reflected in Mr. Singh's statement, Darwin did not say that humans directly evolved from apes.” Source: everywhere on the internet.

Einstien claimed nothing can travel faster than the speed of light , Tachyons move faster than light ,this has been known for nearly 60 years ,but because OUR physics is wrong ,we always work to a book that should have been thrown away 60 years ago .

Einstein based his theories on what was known at the time, understanding that as we gain knowledge these theories will be challenged and in many cases proven wrong. That’s the point of research.
As for Darwin, others have pointed out the misconception of what he actually said.

But he was still wrong ....right!

Einstein died in 1955, Tachyons were theorised in 1967. If he knew about Tachyons he would have taken them into account, he didn’t and so couldn’t.
You really don’t understand how this works do you?
