the pyramids were not built by egyptions 5000 years ago the science and technology behind the pyarmids of egypt is astounding plus how they link to pyramids elsewhere around the world so they build the pyramids and the next time humns build higher is 5000 years later with the eiffel tower. i dont buy it* *i also dont know who built them or believe it was aliens either. Once read a book by a fella called Graham Hancock about the Egyptian pyramids & how he believed they were 12,500 years old as at that time they would have lined up perfectly with Orion's Belt in the night sky, it was also the same time where the sphinx would be looking at the constellation of Leo, hence it being a lion. He then went on about how other pyramids in Cambodia & Latin America lined up with the stars from this same time, too. He reckons there was some mythical civillisation that lived on Easter Island and, due to the seas rising as the Ice Age ended, they set sail in different directions & spread their knowledge, hence these pyramids popping up in different corners of the world that, at that time, had no knowledge of each other. Great read & deffo belongs in this thread  I also read that one mate, and several others by him and his mates - actually met Graham a few times - genuinely fascinating chap. |

the universe is apparaently infinite, trillions of planets and billions of stars. the balance of probabilities suggest there must be life on others. we just dont yet have the technology to prove it

Great read & deffo belongs in this thread I would never have thought to give this a go, if I'd even stumbled across it on Netflix at all but I will definitely give the doc a watch, nice one TDC. |

There is a thing called the Fermi Paradox which purports to prove that there isn't any other life in the universe because as there are stars that are billions of years older than our own Sun, then if there is life out there, why hasn't anybody parked up on the White House lawn by now as they would be so much further advanced than us?
But the one element that I think it fails to address, is that just because there are stars out there that are so much older than the Sun, it doesn't then automatically mean that life that develops on those planets, actually survives long enough as a species in order to ultimately be able to create technology that can provide interstellar travel.
The universe is absolutely massive and for all we know, it could be absolutely teaming with life right now. But the fact that we all live so far apart from each other, means that we will never get to know that each other exist. Will 'intelligent' species who become a technological species, ultimately and sadly always end up blowing themselves up via nuclear war, or end up destroying the host planet they live on in other ways, before they ever even get to the point of allowing themselves the opportunity to build a Starship Enterprise?

plus any intelligent species might have the same problem as travel and communications - its just too fucking far away at a push id like to believe there are some earth like planets out there with just eco systems sustaining "animal species" on there not necessarily intelligent species. Slightly off topic there is a good video on youtube showing the effects on earth if all humans disappeared |

Since Covid, 'Conspiracy Theory' has been used to taint anybody with opinions that don't align with the narrative that the government has decided is correct. It doesn't necessary mean the 'conspiracy' theory is correct, just that any discussion is immediately shut down and the person talking about it treated like some sort of pariah.

I always get surprised at how many of the more prominent UFO cases apart from a few always seem to rock up in the US. They never turn up in any other country and have a cup of coffee with the head of state.
You can imagine the conversation. Some species turns up with the cure for all diseases but gets turned away because you can't adapt it to actually conquer or kill someone. Come to think of it they probably know this and think we are as thick as shit and give us a wide berth.

Great to see the way the threads going now.
The UFO arguments a classic one. Never seen the Roswell film but that was one of the most interesting stories.

The thread's not really about Conspiracy theories and mysteries. It's a Trojan Horse for Cobs and Bianco to have another whinge about their respective obsessions of people being beastly to the Royals and Covid. It didn’t start off that way. The thread was setup as a side thread until Wannabe dived straight in and bought up Kate even though there’s a separate thread for that. You keep telling yourself that though. Oh and the conspiracy that I’m in league with Blanco isn’t true You've denied it now so it must be true.😉 |

It's a term that nowadays is a manipulation tool. It might apply to certain things but on the whole it's the go to phrase for anything someone doesn't believe, but someone else might do. A lot of people simply throw it around without actually showing why they use it. When someone accuses someone of being a conspiracy theorist they never actually demonstrate what actually made them come to that conclusion. The biggest conspiracy theory in existence is religion. And George Carlin demonstrates it perfectly The world would be a lot more peaceful without religion, that's for sure. The Soviet Union, the CPP and North Korea are/were all officially atheist. As was Hitler. Religion has it's problems but the alternatives aren't always exactly peaceful. |

I believe that human's back then worked / were open to another consciousness, or were more entwined with space and the universe or something. It's hard to explain what I mean but I just think for something like that to have been achieved, they must've been existing on a higher plane to what we do now. Have you been watching Dune? |

There has only been life on this planet able to consider such things for a mere blink of an eye in the context of the age of the planet and there is a liklihood that it is heading for a mass extinction in the non too distant future - possibly never to be repeated. The Femi Paraadox relies on the assumption that planet populations get incrementally more sophisticated in a linear progressive fashion - whereas they may just be abberation and the 'norm' is more birds and rabbits than human. |

Every now and then I wind somebody up saying I'm a flat earther, just by simply asking them have they seen the globe with their own eyes. It's not flat but it is hollow. It's been bought up by the global elite who are now promoting the Climate Emergency such that the only safe place to live will be the Earth's centre. Then just sit back and watch Middle Earth real estate prices rocket. I bought a plot the other week off a guy online. Nice chap btw. |

The Soviet Union and North Korea were/are atheist states (unoffically so in the Soviet Union) but some relgions did/does exist. Hitler started out as Christian until he rejected those views and he also critized atheism. |

Either way I'm not sure it dilutes my main point that an absence of religion would not necessarily lead us to a more peaceful world. |
