Aliens!!! This is the topic which intrigues me everytime I ponder upon it...
I used to run SETI sometime back hoping that I would some day help in making contacts with extra-terrestial creatures  . Would like to invite talks on this topic. One thing that I have always wondered is why have most, if not all, research on aliens concentrated in finding possible places in universe which can support life, that is, which has water in some form, sustainable temperatures etc...? Is it not possible that the definition of life can be different for aliens? I mean they may not require water at all. They may sustain only at 1000+ temperatures or at sub-zero temperatures. Why is this not possible? After all, the notion that to sustain life we need favourable conditions like presence of water etc., is concieved by us. For aliens, "favourable conditions" may be different. Would request anyone who has done some reading on this to please throw more lights and possibly supply pointers to good research material... Cheers, Vivek... PS: Thanks NimmiJi for this new forum... |

No doubt at all... but all these negative things are something that can be remedied SS.. How many of us stop for a moment to do anything to remedy it?.. Now this would take us to a complete different dimension.. So let me stop it here.
Now let us see the positive side.. the resources we have and how we can further contribute..? Haina bolo bolo? N ps: We know you are not pessismistic and it is typical of a human being to always raise matters that are negative. Not many sit back and ponder over positive things. |

Yes Nimii you are right, I could also mention plenty of positive things too. However it really hurts when I see people suffer, specially childen. PLAYBACK SINGING STARTS AND ENDS WITH RAFISAAB. IN TERMS OF QUALITY, CONSISTENCY & VERSATILITY, RAFISAAB IS INFINITE LIGHT YEARS AHEAD OF ALL SINGERS BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER HIM. |
