There is No Other Earth

As it is widely recognised that we only use about 10% of our brain capacity, whio knows what we could be capable of if we learnt to unlock the rest? Space and time travel IS possible I believe. Technology is growing so quickly. Imagine if someone from only 100 years ago suddenly was to appear today, the world would seem far more advanced than that person could have dreamt of.

That's a myth, humans actually use all of their brain

Yes, another annoying pseudoscience that put me off of another film! I saw the trailer for "Lucy" and it looked like and OK film, but I refuse to watch it because the entire thing is based on this complete fiction that we only use 10% of the brain and have this "unlocked potential" that would basically give us superhuman abilities. It's too much of a stretch when it comes to suspension of disbelief. I think maybe because it's used SO often.

I think it comes from the fact that most people in their everyday lives probably use 10% or less of the computational ability of their CONSCIOUS mind. It doesn't take much to make a cup of tea and watch Eastenders, and we're not all sitting around figuring out complex equations or pondering theoretical physics, or constantly trying to solve difficult puzzles. Most of that conscious part lies idle a lot of the time during "simple" tasks. But we do have access to all of it and it can be trained to be more efficient. But that "thinking" part of the brain is relatively small anyway, the majority of the brain is taken up by other involuntary functions. Processing vision and sound and other senses, regulating bodily functions, storing memories, controlling motion... All of those everyday things... And all of that is used. Even when it isn't active, that's still what it's reserved for, it's not like we can just borrow some processing power from the occipital lobe and use it to solve a sudoku.

And of course, some people just don't have much to begin with and probably use about 80% of their conscious mind to make tea. And still spill it. :joker:

lol TS, Lucy was fairly crap btw, it started off ok but got more and more ridiculous the more she "unlocked" :hehe:

:laugh2::laugh2::laugh2:

I watched it too and thought that. I got the distinct impression that the writer didn't know where to really go with his premise from about midway through the script and just 'fudged' the rest.

In some Tibber's minds there is; 'Fuller's'. :laugh:

Lucy Spoiler :

Yes there is
they have found it
but its so far way away

:laugh: Yeah

See, watching that trailer has saved me two hours that I would otherwise never have gotten back!

Hold on, so it has pretty much exactly the same storyline as "The Lawnmower Man"?

I vaguely remember watching that when It came out, I don't really remember the plot very well though

I don't think it's exactly the same obviously but

Ah that makes it even worse then :nono:

nobody hear heard of the anunnaki, angels who fell from the sky, there are also statues of them found in the 1920s,

Never saw the Lawnmower Man but i did see Lucy and that is extremely similar.That's annoyed me now.

The Annunaki is one of the main ancient astronaut theory's, it is said they are a race of advanced beings approx 9 foot tall who came to this Earth millenia ago and created us from their own DNA perhaps combining it with Neanderthal Man. (Nobody has ever explained the missing link between Homo Erectus and Homo Sapien)

It is said they put us to work as slaves mining Gold or some other precious commodity, They eventually left Earth and left us to our fate. it is reported they return periodically say every 10,000 years , so we may expect a visit very soon.

These beings are recorded in Ancient history and folklore by nearly all civilisations and many cave paintings depict these beings.

Second Coming of Christ perhaps..........???

i would say no

the other theory, being far more mundane, seems more logical

"You're right to disagree. LT gets to place his cross in the grid" (remember 'Celebrity Squares'? :laugh:)

Stitchin and his 'Annunaki' and 'Nibiru' 12th planet theories have been totally debunked by many respected scholars and even some 'Ancient Alien' believers.

Just had an interesting thought reading that, though. There could have been some sort of precious resource on earth mined and stolen by aliens and we would never even know it existed! If, say, hypothetically they had some technology that could detect it, so they got every last tiny bit on the entire planet... There would be none left to find.

If it's true then technically a I've discovered the concept, so obviously it will have to be called Toysoldierium.

Or maybe just Toysoldium? Hmmmm

what other theory is that ??

Probably the " Nobody really has a clue and so believes in any old nonsense" Theory

This seems to be the main Theory for the last 2,000 years

:joker: If it doesn't come in a bottle and doesn't smell and taste like whisky then it should not be worshiped theory. :laugh:

:joker: Sounds like a Roman General.

I have, they're supposedly 'the watchers' from the bible.

Numbers 13:27-33New International Version (NIV)

27 They gave Moses this account: “We went into the land to which you sent us, and it does flow with milk and honey! Here is its fruit. 28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there. 29 The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan.”

30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.”

31 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We can’t attack those people; they are stronger than we are.” 32 And they spread among the Israelites a bad report about the land they had explored. They said, “The land we explored devours those living in it. All the people we saw there are of great size. 33 We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.”

Really this theory is just a distraction from the really big questions.
If this is true....So what?It does'nt actually answer anything.
How were these 9ft tall aliens created?Did some more aliens create them?
The chain had to begin somewhere.
These theories just distract us from the questions which we are not clever enough to answer.
The real questions are these -

1.What was here before the big bang created our universe?
2.Is it really a universe or a multiverse?
3.If there was something before the big bang then what was it and how did it come into existence?
4.If there was nothing then.....What is nothing?
5.If it was god then how did god come into existence?
6.What is existense

I think we should stop thinking before we blow a gasket paul :laugh:

Ha.I think i just broke the thread.:joker:

Those aren't even the main problems, eyebahpah! Throw into the mix the fact that we already strongly hypothesise that "time" is not actually linear, it only appears so from our limited perspective of space-time. With that being the case; the word "before", in terms of existence, is actually meaningless. There is no "before", "after" or "now"... No beginning nor end... As all of those words are dependent on the linear progression of time.

Yes that is another head****.Thinking about this stuff sends me abit mental.lol

Let's just watch this for a bit Paul :worry:

No let's upset ourselves with universe stuff!

So how many times would Earth fit into VY Canis Majoris

Answers on a postcard......

Google answers says... Haha... 70,000,000,000,000,000. 70 Quadrillion planet earths.

And that's just one star in an ocean of stars - estimates of between 100 billion and 400 billion stars in our own galaxy, and up to 500 billion galaxies in the observable universe.

Potentially upwards of 50 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 stars in the universe, taking into account the variable size of galaxies.

It's mind boggling. I hate and love thinking about this stuff in equal measure.

... And yet even with figures like those, people still question whether or not there is other intelligent life in the universe :joker:. This entire planet isn't even a speck of dust.

Amazing...... and we haven't even touched on the Unobservable Universe, God only knows how big that is. Or other Universes as per the Multiverse theory...

All I know is we are very very small and insignificant in the Grand scheme of things.
