I do. All jokes aside, my sister-in-law and I actually saw a ufo in Miami, out by the out skirts of town in 67. We were picking up my mom from church. It came right above our car, and just sat there for about 2-3 minutes. We were so freaked out, we took off and went home, leaving my mom to catch a ride. It had this huge light under the bottom of it. Very scary!

You don't believe that an infinite intelligence created this universe, do you?

Na I have much more to offer but I must clean up the massive hurricane mess now... looks like it missed Alabama after all...go figure...

That sounds like a good job for you, e.

What a refreshing question. My answer is yes. The lay scientist in me says that the odds are so in favor of the possibility that I am inclined to believe there is.

I'm also inclined to believe that most life in the universe will never breech interstellar space therefore remaining alone anyway.

ooh - that IS a big question. ;)

I'm forever amazed at the intelligence contraction paradox. Let's say we measure it by IQ... Fred has 120, Steve as 125, they get together into an organization and the combined IQ is 54. What's up with that?

That must be the new math.

Frankly, as I watch the 5 dogs interact and solve their differences, my question is "Why can dogs solve their interaction problems with out drawing blood, but "civilized" people come to blows over the most minute differences.?"

It is an interesting question,NPP.....I wish i knew the answer...

The quick answer is that we don't know.

But I am willing to guess. I get some of these ideas from a book or two.

If you went out, you would pass stars, then galaxies, then clusters of galaxies, then superclusters of clusters of galaxies.

It mostly looks like lots of empty space, in between the stars and in between the galaxies and clusters and superclusters.

Up to this point in the description, most people will agree. It is conventional knowledge. They will start to disagree as I continue to describe, below.

When you got past the farthest star, if you could know where you were and where everything else was, you would find that you're on the surface of a space bubble that is expanding. It expands fast enough that you would never actually be able to keep up with it; so, for human purposes, it is as though it were infinite. You would be perhaps 10 billion or 100 billion lightyears from home. Everything else, including home, is also on the same surface of the same space bubble. So it's somehow different from the ordinary straight-line geometry we learned in high school 50 years ago.

Outside that space bubble are other space bubbles. Each space bubble is a universe.

It goes on forever.

For now, we don't know how to get from one space bubble to another. In one book, the author thought there was a possibility of somehow getting from one space bubble to another.

You could also ask: what's in between the space bubbles? Or even, what's beyond all the space bubbles? Again, we don't know. But I'm willing to guess. There's nothing in between the space bubbles. There's nothing beyond all the space bubbles. It's just space bubbles in all directions going on forever, and nothing in between them.

But it gets more complicated. The physical laws inside one space bubble may be completely different from the physical laws inside another space bubble. We don't know.

All that's my guess for now.
