Comment on Strange Physics Phenomenon (Diffraction?) by Jacob

You raise an interesting point. But im unsure whether it was a diffraction pattern or not as like you said it would require the slit to be roughly the magnitude of the wavelength. But also because the source would need to be roughly coherent and it would be white light coming through. Having a look at the picture of your curtains my guess would be that it was light coming through the material of the curtains itself and the dark/light fringes were caused from crumples in the curtains?

Comment on UFOs & Why Aliens Haven’t Made Contact by AgentAppleseed

I feel that the argument that U.F.Os are people from the future is the correct assessment of the situation. For example,the witnesses from the Rendlesham Forest Incident did indeed see beings during their encounter on that fateful night during Christmass 1980. Everyone knows Larry Warren is quite outspoken about this particular aspect of his involvement in the incident. However, Jim Penniston also saw a lifeform during his encounter although these days he rarely mentions that aspect when recounting his experience during t.v interviews and re-enactments. You see, prior to coming forward to tell the public about what happened during the incident, both Jim Penniston and Colonel Halt had agreed to tell the public a more sanitised and watered down version of the events, meaning, they wanted to tell people about their encounters with the U.F.Os, but they didnt want to mention the fact that both of them also caught glimpses of what they believed to be lifeforms in the forest that night. They didnt want to mention that part because they felt that the case was already sensational enough without mentioning the fact that they also saw something else there that didnt appear to be human. This is one of the reasons both of them were angry towards Larry Warren. They felt that people didnt need to know about that part of the story because it strained the credibility of the case in the eyes of the public. Anyway, to make a long story short, Penniston has implied that what he saw was some sort of robot, and both he and Halt also believe that what they saw, came from the future. There is even some talk of Penniston being told this by the occupant of the craft which was a memory that surfaced after hypnosis.
People from the future would come here covertly if they were going to come at all. There would be no announcement to the public. Any argument otherwise is naieve. Just try and imagine for one second what you would ask a time traveler from the future if you ever met one. They could tell you a lot about the future, couldnt they? It would be an immense power to know the future but at the same time a tremendous weight knowing that no matter what, you could never try and influence time or events for the sake of one individual, or maybe even for millions of people. What power could it give a nation? What will the human race be like 100 years from now?never mind 50,000 years from now. What would people in our time think of how people live further down the line from now? What taboos will we have conquered? What new evils will we do? What condition is the world in, in the future? By the way, after the Hypnosis session, Penniston also mentioned that he had been told that the visitors were coming here because of a problem they were having procreating in the future. Their gene pool seems to have been damaged somehow. They also mentioned that the world is different then.
“You cant tell the people” by Georgina Bruni is the best book available about the Rendlesham Forest Incident and it is a book I would reccomend to anyone interested in this material.

Routers do not receive, they route, on account of being called routers.

You don’t need a TV license until you plug the mobile phone into the mains.

Comment on A Utopian Star Trek Society - Making Economics Redundant by Leonard

Yes, everything is possible, and i believe many things in Star Trek works and maybe someday will come true. However I do not think communism or real socialism is a realistic description of how a society should be organized. Eventually the poor will be richer and the rich porer, if everyone had an replicator (which eventually will be the case I hope) money can still exist maybe not in wool and paper. Somebody has to do the dirty jobs, cleaning plasma conduits for example?

Comment on £100,000 - the real cost of going to university by simon

simon — Sun, 29 Mar 2009 01:36:36 +0000

I was in Manchester halls last year it cost £65 per week. Better accommodation did cost £90-100 a week.
I find articles like this one that sum up generally the whole countries graduates are inaccurate. A student who goes to Oxford Uni will earn far greater than one who goes to Bolton Uni for example. These uni’s are at opposite ends of the league table. This is why students should base this on individual factors rather than generalised articles.

I also do not think you can put a price upon the experience of university which is described by many as the time of your life. I would prefer to have the time of my life rather than dismiss it to have a better economic future.

I am from a low income family but receive generous government grants and university bursaries, I have had no financial problems and lead a full social life (going to clubs, paint balling, eating out, going on weekends overseas etc). The one thing I have realised from attending university is that money can’t buy good times, as I am the poorest I have been in my life due to no parental help, but having the best time of my life.

if replicators become avaialbel…all people could get one.

If all people have replicators it wouldnt matter if you were rich or not.
Because cash would become uselss in the counterfiet sense.

Also, our ram & hd space is getting bigger & bigger space in smaller smaller packages..

I remmber spending $3000 for 128k in the early 1980’s.. ram ..
I even remeber spending $8000 for a 10meg HD.

I recently bought 8gig ram for $19.
I recently boguht multi-terrabyte for very little.

Point being,…. dont ever say it cant be done, its only a matter of time.

Even medical and other, we are doing things today in nearly all areass that people of our past would litterally consider us either godlike or sataniclike.

Godlike in that we can save lives that wwas impossible before.
Satanlike in that we are doing today the very things that Hitler himself was trying in the camps (thoguh maybe more humanly).
