Former MOD warns of intergalactic war

Hey, Meg, welcome aboard. Hope you are enjoying another mild Edmonton evening as my family and I are.
I don't myself believe in UFOs. I don't believe in technical things that haven't been shot down yet. Had I been the Air Policeman, I would have emptied my basic load at it.
I guess he wasn't from Alberta.
I DO like to provoke a bit on line, however.
;D

"I've taken the liberty of drawing a circle around our cluster of galaxies. These
galaxies are ours. The galaxies beyond this galactic border are "to be conquered"
or "enslaved" or "food". So therefore, we are now at war and its prudent for Mr.
Hellyer to proceed on his course of action. He has my support." - Bert
- Bert, you have to send a copy of your "Galaxy trace" to me down at CMTC so we can prepare the necessary scenarios. By the look of it, we may need an even bigger budget.

Perhaps if Hellyer had continued his "Integration" of the forces to (his logical) conclusion he would have formed Star Fleet Command...
After all, he thought that Gene Rodenberry guy was damned clever and had a good eye for uniforms.....

Hey TCFB. Thanks 
I guess I kind of believe that somewhere out there aliens are flying around. It would be a little egotistical as a race to think that Earth is the only planet anywhere that has life. Of course, I think there's also a lot that can be explained by non-extraterestial answers, too.
As for shooting them down...I won't comment on what Albertans would do. I'm from the Maritimes, so my first reaction would probably be to invite them in and give them a cup of tea. Then scare them away by playing Ashley MacIsaac. > 
Or making them kiss a cod.

I dont know how else to put it. Its useless. It can not be used for anything atm. The drake equation uses a series of unknown variables. Since their unknown, the answer is also unknown.

Sorta like the answer is 42 however we don't know what the question is. Consider the
building blocks of matter; the electron, the proton, and the neutron. The distances
between the electron and the atomic nucleus is devastatingly vast. One could
speculate that stuff, like my bank account, my wife, my car, my galactic
empire drawn around our cluster of galaxies, is made up of alot of NOTHING. The
answer then must contain a substancial amount of nothing.

Here's an equation: Hellyer is either right, or wrong.
If right, then we can keep the unified CF, and we need space shuttles that can move LAVs asap - call Bombardier immediatley, and tell the Parachute Coys to redefine "jump". Starship Troopers is now the syllabus for Staff College as well.
If wrong, then we can forget about the Space Marines and Star Destroyers (for now), dis-assemble the CF, and get rid of polyester forever.
We can't have it both ways. We follow Hellyer all the way, or nowhere.
I do hope the CDS is looking at this.

- Well, no question about MY bank account. Whole lot of nothing describes it toi a T.

Che states that if there were ETs, then they are so far away that they never could find/reach us anyway.
In another dismal posibility, there is no time travel either. If the human or ET civilization were to expand and
flourish in the future, the fact they have not contacted us or shown evidence may mean time travel is not
possible or they never discovered it in the tens of billion of years this universe survives. Taking in the
quantum idea of a past, present, and future particles, changes in space-time and energy fields between
the particles are theoretically malleuable. Should Hellyer be so concerned about the present? Or should
he devote resources to find out who is peeking at us from the far future and assertain the context of
near future ET encounters? If the far future is unobtainable and past is closed, then the vast distances
between the particles combobulates Hellyer's assertion of ET civilizations because theres nothing in the
future looking back at us. This would also suggest there are no green orion women and this is completely
unacceptable. Thus Hellyers plan must go on.

Seems pretty useless to me. Depending on what numbers you decide to invent, it'll give you pretty much any result you want.

Well, yeah, ok, technically you're right. And $0.000000000000000000000001 is technically more than $0, but I wouldn't be happy if either one of those represented my bank account balance.
Here's a better method: just pick a number you think seems realistic.
What? It's just as accurate, and it's easier to compute!
