[Misc] Unresolved mysteries

I’m loving this pre match entertainment.

Complete cobblers. You're logic appears to be "if there is nothing there, something must exist" - seriously deranged.

If anyone is trying to take over the world, they are seriously bad at it.

Now where did I put my tin foil?

No, my logic is that the universe - from what we believe - is quite large, also making the chance of "somebody being out there" quite big.

Also disagree with your second point, if someone is trying to take over the world they're doing a tremendous job.

As for your tin foil, no idea. Try the kitchen drawers.

any serious scientific researcher would know a dimension is a measurable quality of something. the 4th dimension is time. using for anything else is lazy pop fiction. sure there are higher dimensions, which emerge from complex maths. there may well be other layers of existence, better terms should be used than "dimension", unless writing (yet another) sci-fi novella idea. either way, all these ideas are just re-imagining Plato's cave, as such are interesting philosophical musings.

Yes,apologies I meant 4 dimensional space as in the tesaract.
The theory suddenly made sense to me when I looked in a puddle one day and saw my reflection.
I realised my reflection in the puddle is a 2 dimensional projection of my self from this 3 dimensional world I am in,so maybe this 3dimensinal world we experience is being projected from a 4 dimensional world.
Its fascinating.

Well we didn`t evolve from apes for a start , all of the simian family are capable of successfully interbreeding . Except us because we are not related , no matter what Darwin might have said . If we were then why have we evolved and all the other species have continued on the same path .

interesting claim, so you have evidence of say chimpanzee and gorilla crossbred? you have a flawed understanding of evolution, species are not expected to follow same path, changes make them more or less suited and they thrive or die out. a gorilla from 1mya would not be the same as a gorilla today. the genra of shark have been around for millions of years, not necessarily the exact same species as seen today.

In that time we have gone through many " upgrades " , you can call it evolution if it makes you comfortable but the progression by comparison to all other species is nothing short of stratospheric . As for physical advantages and environment , well we can adapt better than any other species . As for physicality , maybe those doing the altering consider intelligence more important . If we survive long enough i`m sure we will have a few more upgrades to come .

you havent posed any questions, this is simple observation. yes it has been good progress, with significant advances that give exponential advantages. if something intervened id hope they'd make us faster or stronger, less fragile, immunity to virus etc. seems to falling to the trap of being in awe of our ability to adapt and seeking a reason, place it on another entity. thousands of years thats been gods, now its changed to aliens.

what if i told you we simply got here by chance?

It'th A Mithtery TO ME

It should be noted that Darwin didn’t actually say we were descended from apes; he said we shared a common anscestor.

Hey, most of my ancestors were common.

And not all primates can reproduce with others, either. Bush babies with chimps, for example.

Hmm, what do you base this on?

But your reflection in the puddle has no consciousness. It doesn’t even have any mass. It’s a reflection. If you were holding a can of Fanta that’d be reflected too.

Gorillas didn’t exist a million years ago.

Or the classic "I've seen some guff on you tube and fell for every word of it".

What has the government got to do with this. It is basic common sense. There is nobody out there.

So there are as many stars as grains of sand on every beach in the world , and as many galaxies as stars . And that is just what we have found so far , which stretches 14 Billion light years , and the possibility of multi-verses . But " There is nobody out there . " And you call that assumption " basic common sense ." WOW !

Clearly Adam and Eve from an old book cobbled together by the Romans is a more credible theory.

Has anyone actually read any Darwin, instead of quoting complete bollocks?

How can there be as many galaxies as stars? Absurd.

This thread is plain silly.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I dont think humans have thorougly searched through the whole universe quite yet meaning the most common response should be "I dont know".

 

[RossyG]

Clearly Adam and Eve from an old book cobbled together by the Romans is a more credible theory.

Whatever you think of the veracity of the Book of Genesis, it predates the Roman Empire by about 500 years.
