He knows it due to the perfectly correct and irrefutable knowledge of modern science...
...because throughout history, that scientific knowledge has NEVER changed or improved as methods, equipment or theories evolve.

leave our precious music thread alone, you nutjobs.

Plane Hijack
no interstellar space travel
All technologies only exist inside the society they inhabit. Whether sending humans/aliens huge distances through space is possible (i believe it is impossible) is irrelevant. The societies will all have depleted their planet's resources/overpopulated to such an extant that chaos reigns, long, long before the technology is discovered.
I saw "Bob Dylan Live at Newport Folk Festival" DVD last week. It's a great insight into the whole folk/hippy music culture thing. I grew up listening to my Mom's Baez/Dylan/PeterPaulMary records- but god Dylan made some awful music too.

Can you back that up with some, or is it pure speculation on your part? And even if that were true for the human race (I'm not saying it isn't), how can you be so arrogant as to apply it to all other forms of intelligent life?

I just mean that if the size of the observable universe is 46 Billion light years across then if we could travel at the speed if light (which we might find pretty difficult), then it would still take billions of years to get anywhere....

I doubt that actually organisms as we are would travel those distances, just because we are not made for space.
And if we want to preserve sth. for the future, it sure won�t be our ugly appearance.
Space however does offer quite good conservation environment...
So in the end, it doesn�t matter how long sth.
would travel, as long as its in a state of being able to get reactivated in future times.
But who can predict, how magic technic will be in say 50 years?
Just look at past predictions, like we will never be able to reach the moon and such bs..

With the I could say that it doesn't matter to try and go to the moon either. Or Mars.

Fuck Me
With the same logic, yeah.

Synth pop from Vienna. Each album except for R.E.T.R.O. tells a mysterious story about Mr. Black, who is trying to escape from a web of dreams and half reality. It's quite similar to the matrix.

The best way I heard it explained was that if there was going to be time travel, it would have already happened. We would have come back and told ourselves about it. We haven't. So we won't. :)
