Glass found on Mars

Don't crawl up much further or we'll never see you again.

I've already done anal. Thought I'd try something new.

Wouldn't it be amazing if we discover intelligent life in our lifetime? That would change a lot of things.

It would be great if we found intelligent life on earth.

Whether or not there is intelligent life elsewhere is probably moot. The sheer scale of the universe would suggest that there is a strong possibility of other civilizations. But the possibility that Arthur C Clarke missed and other theorists seldom mention is that maybe the known laws of physics are quite absolute and there is no possible technology that can transcend the speed of light or allow civilizations to travel across galaxies. No wormholes or loopholes that can violate the boundaries of space time. Therefore, no practical way to ever explore enough of the universe or travel far enough that even in infinite time no two civilians will ever encounter each other. In that respect, it is irrelevant whether we are alone or not. It is a disappointing alternative.

The speed of light is slow taking into respect continuous acceleration possible by Terran technology and no friction in the vacuum of space.

What would happen if it was confirmed that there was indeed alien life out there?

Why would civilization collapse?

What would become of religion?

Would we try make contact?

Would they want to enslave and eat us?

What would change? Would I still go to work on Monday?

As far as the "known laws of physics" is concerned, we really don't know very much...
