Reckon we'll all be extinct before technology is sufficiently advanced to make contact though. The best hope we have is of finding microbial life elsewhere in the solar system.

Due to rates of technological expansion, if it's possible to create the technology then we should see it easily within human lifetime. The only problem is can we develop it before we destroy the earth or find another planet to live on.

I'm becoming a bit worried about this seeming time dilation. But as they lost a whole day on 30th December, I think I need a Samoan to watch over me.

Rock God X has also told me that, as proof of his deityship (is that a word?) at precisley 7.12 pm, he will post the following mesage:

"That being said, I have perfected time travel this evening, so who knows?"

There are others on other boards claiming the same gift too.

The thing is though that so far we haven't found evidence for any other life form. Dead or alive. Whilst that remains the case, there is at least room for discussion. But when an indisputable alien life form is finally discovered, that will be a seismic event, as then we will have proof that life has 'happened' elsewhere, and twice within a cosmic blink of an eye would make it certain that life elsewhere is actually abundant.

I think you'll find this man is the expert whan it comes to life, the universe and everything.

Just consult the great Bill O'Reilly. You can find him on Dickipedia, he knows all this stuff.

Ettingshausen was one of my favourite players. The chances of finding another like him on another planet are in my opinion very very remote.
