If you want to look at it in a unique way, most everyone in America did some
time traveling last night. We were all instantiously transported an hour into
the future. Although actually a physicist at the University of Connecticut thinks it's possible and he's out to
try and prove his ideas. I'm betting that nothing comes of it, as it leads to
the age old problem that if time travel really is possible, then where are the
visitors from the future? Unless maybe UFO's are really just time machines? Or
perhaps we can only move forward in time, but not backward. Time is a
funny little thing anyways. As Mr. Einstein says "When you are courting a nice
girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second
seems like an hour. That's relativity."
Look.
Oh, and here's some reasons people
gave to run the SETI@Home
client I was talking about below:
-- 'cos try as I might I don't seem to be
able to phone home!
-- 'cuz I'm too lazy to actually DO something with this
computer of mine...
-- I can't get a date on this planet. Might as well try
to find another one
-- It would be interesting to introduce a new sexual
position or three if alien females were discovered
-- A few years ago some
extraterrestrial sent me a bad checque. With SETI I hope to find the guy
-- After they abducted me, they told me "don't call us, we'll call you." I've
been waiting for five years.
-- All that complicated looking data crawling across the screen really
impresses my girlfriends.
-- As an alien, I'm amused by this project you earthlings are engaged
in...
-- Because in high school I was voted most likely to build my own
spacecraft and abandon the planet Earth.
-- Because the idea is far more interesting than some boring "crack the
million-bit encryption"
-- Best to know something about a stranger you'll
possibly meet before you meet them.
