D....I appreciate your post to me. I started posting a while back as a way to cope with.....a specific job issue. It was not easy for me to get the OK to even post and even though my Band has a web site and posting board....I leave fan discussion to the other guy's as I have had my fill of...Oh! Your so great! I have a hard time dealing with it and like the RUSH song say's...I can't pretend the stranger is a long awaited friend.
I have no issues debating or talking about any subject save anything that is disrespectful to the Elderly....as I have a GREAT RESPECT for people who have seen things and done and experienced things from different eras.
....my Old Friend....knew everything there was to know about wild mushrooms and he and I were going out after a Rainstorm to pick and identify these so I could learn from him and his vast wisdom....a Buisness issue made me cancel....he passed on shortly after....I wish I had gone.
Other than that...I am easy to get along with...unless a person is just being an IDIOT...then I might say something. You seem I like a Guy I could drink a beer with....that is very good in my books! LOL! Split Infinity

Harte...sorry it took me so long to get around to a better explaination of what I was trying to explain. Everything you have said in your post is true. But there is one thing you are missing. I understand your statement to me that I think that the Universe is expanding into SOMETHING...as it is not. THIS IS TRUE! But this is not what I am talking about.
In just about every theory so far...Super String...M-Theory or Brane or whatever...it is taking as a given that the Multiversal Geometry that devides Universal States or Newly Creations of Alternate Divergent Realities is almost STATIC. I know they are not saying that exactly but they might as well.
We...from our observations adhere to the rule that an object will...and lets forget about Galactic or Universal Movement for a sec....will stay at rest until an external force places it in motion. Thus we have assumed that Universal Creation...and Expansion and how it is Multiversaly interconnected in some form of Geometry of something...is at rest and moving out as expansion dictates thus creating new space.
What if our Multiversal Condition was in fact MOVEMENT....but not movement in the way we percieve in 4-D...I know there are more dimentional states than that but....what if....all Universal Realities as well as their Infinite Divergent States were all in a condition of Geometric Movement that was like Time but vastly more complex.
We see time as linear...it is not...but what if there was more than one type of TIME....with different rules and different effects that is consistent with the Multiverse and connected to every Universal Quantum Aspect...in Universal States that have a Quantum aspect since logic dictates that there must be INFINITE DIVERSITY IN INFINITE COMBINATION AND CONDITION.
Just a though while I was buying a 12 pack. Split Infinity

The writers for an episode of Star Trek, I believe the Voyager series explored the possibility of intelligent life here on Earth in the past. In one episode they encountered a very advanced species of alien that looked reptilian but had two legs. Using dna tests they concluded that there was a high probability the alien species came from Earth millions of years ago. Then they speculated that they knew a large comet was going to hit and they ventured off into space, eventually losing knowledge of where they came from as most life on this planet became extinct. It was one of the few episodes where the Earth technology was extremely inferior to the alien technology. Of course anyone could imagine that a species millions of years older than humans would have advanced a long way.
There could be remains of aliens or what some think of as aliens underground in a number of places here. Many conspiracy threads on this site suggest this is so some suggesting that they really aren't aliens but past residents of this planet and that the knowledge is being kept hidden from the public. There are other threads discussing how if our governments revealed that we don't really own this planet and that others claim this planet as their own, it would only create panic and fear. Well the other threads may not spell it out like I just did but it is in there. Using this line of reasoning, our governments may be hiding remains of ancient residents here on Earth and possibly on other planets whenever we start exploring our solar system. There are some threads indicating remains of giant humanoids in the American southwest for instance. Any civilization that was around millions of years ago would likely be buried deep deep down in the Earth and if our governments are keeping secrets, then the possibility of avoiding public fear or the possibility of finding ancient advanced technology or artifacts would be a reason to do so.
I believe the closer you travel to the speed of light, the less time passes for you. If someone was able to travel at the speed of light which the current thinking is that it's impossible but if you could, then time would cease to exist since I believe time is flowing at the speed of light. I believe any species that was capable of creating a massive amount of spacecraft and that actually did so, would leave a lot of artifacts all over the place even if they got wiped out. Evidence of mining operations on the moon and other places that aren't as easily hidden would likely provide clues but we aren't exploring for signs of past intelligent life that I know of.
Even if these clues were found, our governments probably would keep it secret. For example if the US found an abandoned alien base on the Moon with a number of artifacts, why would they invite other nations to share after we spent all the money to explore the place risking American lives in the process? Humans tend to keep secrets and keep things for themselves unless they have a reason to trade or share that knowledge. I doubt too many nations are going to share out of the goodness of their heart. They want money, knowledge or something else. That's only being human. Maybe some species of alien is kind and sharing without expecting anything in return.
I suppose one reason human nations might share is for a common defense to share resources against a foe that the public doesn't know about.edit on 18/2/12 by orionthehunter because: (no reason given)

After a lot of mind bending math in the science book i have called "Why Does E=mc squared?" published in 2009,the authors came up with the exact equations for speed,duration and time dilation for a person traveling in a spaceship at 99.99999999% the speed of light...[99. followed by "8"-9's]
This is what the numbers tell us and it is an amazing reality thats almost beyond our comprehension...
100 years traveling at that speed...6,000,000 years will pass by on earth...
50 years traveling at that speed...3,000,000 years will pass on earth...
25 years traveling at that speed...1,500,000 years will pass by on earth...
12.5 years traveling at that speed...750,000 years will pass by on earth...
6.25 years traveling at that speed...375,000 years will pass by on earth...
3.125 years traveling at that speed...187,500 years will pass by on earth...
1.5625 years traveling at that speed...93,750 years will pass by on earth...
0.78125 years traveling at that speed...46,875 years will pass by on earth...
0.390625 years traveling at that speed...23,437.5 years will pass by on earth...
0.1953125 years traveling at that speed...11,718.75 years will pass by on earth...
So the last number listed above [ 0.1953125 ] represents a journey in a spaceship at those speeds of about 8 weeks and 11,718.75 years will pass by on the planet the astronauts left behind and then returned to and so a journey of around 2 weeks at those speeds,about 3,000 years will pass by...
Did that help answer your question? or were you talking about something else?

Fortunately for the rest of the universe, your individual belief is not required.
However, if you're interested, this site actually explains why it is true.
There are several online applets that show light clocks (as mentioned in that linked page) animated. They might make what's on that page a little easier to understand.

Two scientists,who are also expert mathematicians wrote the book that i got those numbers from and the calculations they used to arrive at those figures are extremely complex and way over my head and they are what they are,those numbers speak for themselves and as mind blowing as they may be,it is reality,its what happens at those fantastic speeds,because at those speeds,space and time is being warped,curved and bent...

Thats probably because the ufos/flying saucers are not moving through space,they are moving through time and when they appear to travel across the entire sky in a fraction of an instant,they didnt really fly across the sky really fast,they actually jumped through time...
They moved backwards or forwards in time a few seconds,blinking in and out and back into our time frame,thats how they are able to seemingly traverse the sky instantaneously.From our perspectives they only appear to be flying through space,when they are actually flying through time...
Thats what i think they are doing,at least within our atmosphere,because i think they are time machines,from earths distant past many millions of years ago,or from earths distant future,many millions of years from now...

John A. Keel, in his book "Our Haunted Planet" gives an interesting introduction to the reality of an alien race that has taken careful measures to remain hidden from the mass consciousness of those dwelling on the surface of planet earth,or those ignorant "human cattle" whom they are intent on manipulating and exploiting from their secret hiding places above,below and even amongst the inhabitants of planet earth...
Einstein explained how time is dilated near the speed of light and how space and time will be warped and curved at those speeds over one hundred years ago with his special relativity theory in 1905 >

I guess I'm going to come across sounding like some stupid arse, but I don't believe this time dilation theme for a second.
Look.... time is time --- that's reality --- and their is no way that you are going to get around it. You can believe somebody's calculation's about time dilation, but I think that it is a preposterous theory that goes nowhere and proves nothing.edit on 3-3-2012 by Erno86 because: spellingedit on 3-3-2012 by Erno86 because: grammaredit on 3-3-2012 by Erno86 because: added and deleted a word
(Paul R. Hill, "Unconventional Flying Objects", p 272, Hampton Roads Publishing, Inc.)
It is possible for an interstellar trip to be very short. The trip from our nearest neighbor, Aloha Centuri, a triple star system 4.3 light years away, made by accelerating at 140 g to a v/c of 0.9999 is accomplished from a standing start to a standing finish in 6 weeks, 0.115 year.
