[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 17789, member: 175144"] The near stars as far as I can gather do not have observable planets around them. Its true that these maybe as yet undiscovered, however if ther listening devices cannot collect information on orbiting satellites, then what chance do they have on receiving and processing sentient signals ? The thought of SETI having a hand in what is sent out to the stars is also worrying. Many of the troubles on this planet could at least be helped by some extraterrestrial intervention if it already posesses the ability of interstellar flight, if not travel through time Going back to the idea of simulation though, I cannot believe that any programme would be so advanced as to fool everyone almost all of the time. Of course if the simulation is generated for one person only (and the rest around us are simply figmments generated holodeck style - which questions the Matrix and how the group managed to meet up), then again I would be highly sceptical of the cuts and briuses I acquire each day being so well organised, and yet I am sometimes unable to kick in the avoidance mechanism to avoid such damage [/QUOTE]
