Pyrimids are tombs and they also contain Egyts weath

then we be having space ship that go lightspeed right now and laser cannons force fields and.....oh crap AREA 51!!!!!

They are not tombs.

No bodies have been found inside them.

Who knows, maybe what we think of as aliens don't exist but instead there are other humans out in the universe spreading themselves over all the planets they can find.

No, the tombs are underground, the pyramids aren't tombs.

Or maybe 1 race of aliens seeded planets with genetic code.

Possible, I wonder why they didn't seed Mars though, unless Mars was destroyed in some way after being seeded and that's how it ended up today.

Heheh, Vermain sparked a good discussion :p.

Mars may have not had an acceptable atmosphere, or they wanted only 1 planet per star system.

you can say that
i always like this theory type of discussions

Pyramids are monuments to the Gods
or
The Bodys intombed under souls used the pryamids to walk up to the heavens

Mars could become livable if we introduced bacteria of some sort to it's environment, but I think maybe the bacteria died out befor ehaving a chance to evolve, aren't they finding bacteria on the surface with probes?

they are finding dryed underground water deposits
if they create CO2 on mars with plants and stuff Mars would be livable soon

When the pyramids were first built thousands of years ago, they had a pure white limestone coating. What this coating did was reflect sunlight, which then could have been seen all of the way into space. The coating, along with the shape of the pyramids created a colossal radio signal into space, like a beacon.

they built them for the gods that is what i am sure about
but duno why really

gods=aliens?

Yes, but I wonder if there was some kind of battle going on between groups of aliens since the Mayans had different gods :p. Sometimes I wish I could just see into the past or something, I'm too curious.

i wanna see the big bang!

I want to see the dinosaurs and the Romans :D.

Play harps all day... that'd be fun. I'm pretty much agnostic however, so I don't know what will happen to us after our known lives.

I wanna see the becoming the the single cell orgianisms

Gah... the 5th element sucked soo bad...

Fortunatly for you, I study this stuff...I might add some of my own opinions as well, some I am assuming...sort of far-fetched, I don't know if thats the right word for it though.

(Scientific Theory)
The universe is constantly expanding, it will eventually get so big that the universe will not be able to support itself, therefore will collapse. Much like the process when a star becomes a black hole.

(Commentary)
This might suggest that the big bang might start all over again. Creating a new universe, heres a far-fetched conclusion I have made, possibly time starts over again streight from the big bang, it might have continued this cycle for trillions of trillions of years.

Although it is not backed up by anything, this is what I beleve to be true, a guess if you will.

Frankly, I think the world needs to start over.

I do too, but not now though...

if we do start over it be the same thing all over

Exact think I am saying, it might turn out different...maybe...

Oh and by the way, happy infinity anniversary.

Ok now i belive in the big bang theory...somewhat...From what i know, astronomers have concluded that the universe is expanding but it keeps getting slower and slower. If it's getting slower and slower, once it would stop expanding it would start to contract very slowly at first but it would contract into one giant black hole. About the black holes, the black holes have such a strong gravitational power that they can withold light inside them. Black holes will eventually suck everything up in the universe and the black holes will eventually start to suck in eachother. Once all of the black holes would have been merged togeather, the overwhelming pressure inside of them trying to pull in anything thats left and the forces trying to release pressure by expanding finaly win and then BOOM!!!. There goes the big bang again.


Note: This is only my opinion.

<looks for Dante> hmm...

About the aliens thing:

Guys, has it ever occurred to you that the ever-so-talked-about "higher intelligence" could just as well be us? Have you ever thought about the possibility that during the times when Mayans conducted their studies in astrology, there wasn't some other planet that had already come out with the flying saucer? I seriously get very annoyed by some people, running around saying that the more advanced ancient civilizations didn't think up the stuff they did. It's just like some guy 5000 years from now saying that an alien race crashed down on Earth and taught us how to make a computer.

And what is our common perception of those helpful "aliens"? Tall skinny white guys with oval heads and huge eyes? I'd love to find out how long you'd expect to see that thing live on any planet :rolleyes:

And finally, if there was higher intelligence in the universe, why would they waste their time coming here?

Alright, alright, I'm here, and ready to set things straight. ;)

The mayans did not say that the universe ended in september 2012, as many say. Instead, the mayan calender simply ended abruptly in 2012.

Has it occurred yet that the mayans just didn't finish making their calender? Calculating the movement of the stars up to thousands of years was a strenuous and time consuming task. Eventually (perhaps, along with the death of the civilization,) they would have to stop making the calender somewhere.

As for aliens, any discussion of them is wholly unscientific. Why bother with it at all?

As for the theory of the oscillating universe, it is indeed a scientific theory, so agreeing with it is the standard, not the exception.
I add to it my belief in universal atrophy, which is commonly accepted but not, to my knowledge, a theory.

:D

Maybe when the world ends, we will find out what at the other side of a black hole, maybe we could travel inside it and come out another way to another universe, and we could like go back to our own time through a white hole?
i think that what the mayans meant by mankinds tools turning against us, was that computers would take over the world, like In
"The Matrix" it could happen because computers are getting smarter all the time.

Finally, I don't think you could make a complete pro and con list of the end of life as we know it anyway. An amusing joke though, Vermy.

Pago, when you think about how large the universe is you just have to believe that there is a more intelligent race than humans. Look at us, we fight eachother instead of working together. No I don't believe in the big oval-headed alien, I think aliens would look more like humans than weird green men.

DING DING! We have a smart person!

That's true. If you look at mayan and egyptian statues of "gods", they look an awful lot like humans... but like aliens too.

Furthermore, take a gander at some of the drawings. If you can look closely at some of them, you can observe what appears to be, a gigantic chariot that appears to be on fire. Alien spaceship?

Steven Hawking had a theory that the galexy of the milky way and everything in it was shooting out from the middle, the big bang still projecting everything outwards... however he seemed to belive the rate at which the galexy was growing was slowing down... and when it would finally stop it would come crashing back to the centre destroying all (kind of like throwing a ball up in the air, then it stops and slams back to the ground). Recently scientists have proven him wrong and have found out that the galexy isnt slowing down, but that it is speeding up... growing faster and faster apart, they dont know what it is, but something in the middle of our galexy is fueling this speed...

Also about the Mayans, they were not blood thirsty sacrificing people, they worshipped numbers and the concept of time. As Arthur Koestler said the Mayans didnt think of time as a constant thing as we do, but as a cycle that repeats with different outcomes, its kind of hard to understand given what we belive time is...

if you don't believe in God, you're probably more likely to think that there is other life somewhere out there because if we're here, and we "evolved" from nothingness, why couldn't other things do the same?

i stick with my theory, though, life can evolve, but life cannot be created without other life, it's... baffling, sort of.. but most people explain it with God, or several gods, or some sort of "greater power"

I'm Christian but i still have yet to understand what exactly created God.. because if life cannot be created without other life, and if God creates life, then something must have created God, and something must have created that which had created God... and so on... Humans will never understand because we are not intelligent enough. But.. perhaps it's better NOT to understand.

Life CAN evolve, and my belief is, that is how God meant it to be. He MADE life on the planet evolve, as sort of a plan of his. He did it because he knew that many humans would look for a simpler answer, and evolution was a good and simple answer.

We humans cannot comprehend who made God. It is much, much past our level of understanding. All we can believe is that God was there all along, as that is the starting point to finding out.

Oh, and I still believe in God, and I still believe that it is possible that God could have created life on other planets in our universe.
