Science Fiction

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UFO's, science fiction! UFO's, how old would the occupants be? The nearest known planet outside our solar system is twenty-five trillion miles away, or four point three light year old! Travelling at twenty thousand mph, it would take, one hundred and thirty-seven thousand years, to get there, that makes occupied ufo's, science fiction! Unless you know different! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Science Fiction - Poetry Contest, sponsored by Deborah Guenther Beachboard

Very interesting, Mick; of course, we (earth) are only infant physics compared to far older civilizations. "Beam me up, Scotty", will become a reality. And faster than light travel is not as difficult as academia makes it seem. Einstein is our greatest pioneer, but, by far, not the last word. UFO's? Alien life forms visiting earth? I'm in the maybe column. Space and time is a consistency, a continuity, fragmented by consciousness. On the surface Particle physics seems correct, but it's not.

What older civilisation, if you are referring to the ancients of South America, and their ilk, yes, still a lot of unanswered questions there; just how did they achieve such accuracy, and lift weights exceeding 100's of tons? There was definitely something interesting going on back then. Aliens, I doubt it, navigation at or even beyond the speed of light, all manner of compromising factors and no doubt some as yet undiscovered anomalies. Joe, indeed I could go on for hours, but what ere the case maybe I'll be a future I'll never get to witness. ;-(

Interesting facts Mick, but I often think of undiscovered planets at the far end of the universe who for all we know have a few thousand years start on us and if there is intelligent life who knows what they have got. Let's face it we are only just waking up and still walking around half asleep lol. Good luck. Tom

I have got an open mind, Tom, I'd like to think other intelligent forms exist but if they do they are more likely to be of a much lower form, or so advanced and live in perfect harmony having put behind them problems such as we face in our present time. I not even scratched the surface? Thank for the wishes... Mck
