"Second Earth found" what do you guys think of this?

I know there is controversy over the neutrino experiment, but everything I've read says that haven't confirmed or denied the experiment. The most recent article I read was from about a week ago.....

I'm assuming that last sentence was a joke.

If there were any sentient aliens on this planet, and we had the tech and the need to colonize the planet, I would advocate beating them to a pulp if they got in the way, because I'm a human specieist like that.

Fortunately, the chances of alien life are slim to none, let alone SENTIENT life. Would it be ridiculously awesome? Yeah. Probable? Nope.

Isn't it rather arrogant to assume that in all the galaxies and all the stars we have the only planet with sentient (and considering how many humans act I am not sure we can really claim that one) life?

Leave it to us to assume we're the only intelligent life out there.

I didn't say there wasn't, did I? I simply stated that it was highly unlikely, especially one so close to Earth. I'm a little odd in that I have no problem with the idea of aliens - the Bible doesn't say Earth is the only planet with life. I just think it's not very likely, is all.

BTW, acting stupid does not mean one is not sentient.

Although, come to think of it, sapient is probably a better term anyway, but still.

Yeah, I heard about that. But a neutrino is a subatomic particle, so I don't really know if that counts...

Now, I don't know how relevant this is, but I do know that the Navy is working on railgun technology that can propel stuff at ridiculous velocities.​

We have been around this rodeo before on here.

...Which one? The one about neutrinos, sentient alien life, interstellar travel, or a potentially habitable planet? That's four different topics.

 

[rebelcowboysnb]

Was talking about sentient alien life but all four fit what I said.

The only thing I know that travels faster than the speed of light is how quick scientists jump to conclusions.

 

[rebelcowboysnb]

Actually some things can go faster than light but I am no quantum mechanic to understand how.

Personally, I think it is only one of many. I'm not so arrogant as to suppose we are the only planet with intelligent life. Of course, I could make a strong argument that THIS planet doesn't have any intelligent life either.
