User blog:GuacamoleCCXR/Alemas and me having a fun time PMing :P

Really worth reading :P
1:34

Guacamole1998

So Alemas...

Why would you think that any kind of alien life seeks to eliminate the rest?

On our current stage we can't even get along with other humans properly.

1:34

Alemas2005

I WASN'T SAYING THAT.

The fact is...

1:34

Guacamole1998

So we think that a being that isn't human would want to utterly annihilate us.

1:34

Alemas2005

Just a sec.

1:35

Guacamole1998

BUT, once we have built a perfect society on Earth...

1:35

Alemas2005

Look.

1:35

Guacamole1998

We will be much more open-minded and ready to enter the galaxy.

1:35

Alemas2005

If there are belligerent aliens out there...

And have plans to destroy us...

1:35

Guacamole1998

They can do that with one strike.

1:35

Alemas2005

They aren't destroying us right now because...

1:35

Guacamole1998

We probably wouldn't ebem realise.

1:36

Alemas2005

What would be the "satisfaction"?

1:36

Guacamole1998

BUT, I think they'd use different weaponry.

1:36

Alemas2005

At best, we can be used as slaves...

1:36

Guacamole1998

Not the physical weapons we have, no.

Perfectly worked out biological, chemical, political and psycholigical weaponry...

1:38

Alemas2005

Yeah.

LASERS.

1:38

Guacamole1998

-_-

Primitive.

Even we can use lasers.

1:39

Alemas2005

Not as decent weapons, though.

1:40

Guacamole1998

We can though. And we have worse stuff anyway.

Ebola for example.

1:40

Alemas2005

Whatever that is.

1:40

Guacamole1998

http://www.google.de/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&ved=0CHMQFjAF&url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola_virus_disease&ei=MDfwT4eHDobtsgaXnvT1Dg&usg=AFQjCNG-1ftBFUPV9SB-fpaKXnZKjwOO3A&sig2=7S9KgnoTZcuR3Az-ZnGYpQ

That stuff is HEAVY.

A few genetical modifications and humanity is absolutely erased.

1:42

Alemas2005

Woah.

1:43

Guacamole1998

So, if we could basically get one of these attacking alines...

A dead one.. :

Analyse the DNA, modify the virus, and unleash it.

IN CASE they are biologically the same as us.

If they have mineral elements that would be a little harder.

The porblem is that we have absolutely no idea how life could develope differently than on Earth.

1:44

Alemas2005

Yeah...

1:45

Guacamole1998

Maybe there are aliens that consist of mists and fight each other with weak sound waves that distort their bodies...? Who knows.

1:45

Alemas2005

The universe is a big place...

1:45

Guacamole1998

Life cannot be restricted on the carbon-hydrogen stuffs we are.

1:46

Alemas2005

Now YOU are the one talking...

Yesterday, I was the one.

1:46

Guacamole1998

Yep.

1:46

Alemas2005

Pawned.

1:46

Guacamole1998

See, the smarter person always ends up talking the most.: P

1:46

Alemas2005

OI.

1:46

Guacamole1998

And the astonished rest listens.

You can archive this and add it to your log if you want to, or to Wik's log.

They are linked...

1:47

Alemas2005

Whenever I see this...

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0d/Hubble_ultra_deep_field_high_rez_edit1.jpg

1:47

Guacamole1998

Somehow.

1:47

Alemas2005

I feel humbled.

1:47

Guacamole1998

See what?

1:47

Alemas2005

By just how small we are...

1:47

Guacamole1998

The pic takes years to load.

1:48

Alemas2005

It took a couple of seconds for me.

1:48

Guacamole1998

Well, I'm at a quarter now.

we have RUBBISH internet.

1:48

Alemas2005

...

1:48

Guacamole1998

Those are a lot of galaxies...

1:48

Alemas2005

I'm silnced...

"silenced"...

1:48

Guacamole1998

What?

1:48

Alemas2005

I mean...

I am TRULY humbled...

By that image...

1:49

Guacamole1998

Yeah actually.

It's amazing.

1:49

Alemas2005

We are a tiny speck...

Probably even less than that...

1:49

Guacamole1998

It still hasn't loaded.

-_-

1:49

Alemas2005

1:49

Guacamole1998

ALMOST DONE...

1:49

Alemas2005

It's 6,200 x 6,200.

1:50

Guacamole1998

Three more centimetres till the end of the screen...

Two...

One...

FINALLY.

1:50

Alemas2005

Try it in full-screen.

1:50

Guacamole1998

?

No.

I'm humbled enough.

1:51

Alemas2005

How many sentient beings are there, in that image?...

Who knows...

Maybe thousands...

1:51

Guacamole1998

It would be VERY weird if we were the only ones.

I mean...

In the whole universe.

1:52

Alemas2005

We've only just discovered two Earth twins...

YEAH.

1:52

Guacamole1998

I heard about that.

1:52

Alemas2005

That's what my mum says.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth_analog

1:53

Guacamole1998

In the end we can still terraform.

Basically...

This is actually quite simple.

1:54

Alemas2005

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kepler-22b

Earth twin.

Any aliens there?...

1:55

Guacamole1998

It's a little big...

1:55

Alemas2005

What?

1:56

Guacamole1998

The planet.

It would have to stron gravity...

Not optimal...

Then again...

Who says that planets with perfect conditions for carbon-hyrdogen life are the only planets where life can be.

1:57

Alemas2005

Yeah.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_(moon)

1:57

Guacamole1998

Yeah yeah.

1:57

Alemas2005

It has hydrocarbon lakes.

1:57

Guacamole1998

Kepler-20f is more like it...

Too hot though.

Colder is more likely...

Because in the end, gasous beings are VERY irrational.

At least on the current stage of our technology.

The biggest problem are elliptical orbits...

2:02

Alemas2005

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_1

2:02

Guacamole1998

We can terraform, but we can't change those. And usually life adapts to one certain circumstance...

Voyager?

The sattelite?

2:02

Alemas2005

Just now we are sending objects outside Sol.

2:02

Guacamole1998

I know.

2:02

Alemas2005

Voyager 1, to be precise.

2:02

Guacamole1998

It has music and stuff on it...

Only Mozart though...

2:03

Alemas2005

In case aliens get a hold of it.

2:03

Guacamole1998

A and stuff like that

2:03

Alemas2005

Who knows?

What if...

When it outside Sol...

2:03

Guacamole1998

I don't think they'll look for it here.

Though!

2:03

Alemas2005

Equipment from some alien race detects something getting out of Sol...

2:03

Guacamole1998

I read something, maybe I can find it again...

2:04

Alemas2005

They'll send someone there...

2:04

Guacamole1998

WAIT WAIT WIAT

2:04

Alemas2005

And then discover where it came from...

2:04

Guacamole1998

I'LL HAVE TO SHOW YOU!

2:04

Alemas2005

YES?

They discover it's from Earth...

2:05

Guacamole1998

K...

can't find it.

2:05

Alemas2005

And they come here and say "FINALLY! It took you THIS long to send something out of your own solar system?!".

2:05

Guacamole1998

Or maybe...

You know...

Have you ever thought that a sign might be right in front of us, we just don't see it?

2:06

Alemas2005

No?

2:07

Guacamole1998

Well look.

Let's take the moon for example.

Waht do you think where it came from?

2:07

Alemas2005

Uh...

2:07

Guacamole1998

C'mon.

2:07

Alemas2005

It formed from rocks and stuff.

2:08

Guacamole1998

Just say the thing people always say.

2:08

Alemas2005

ALIENS?

2:08

Guacamole1998

Something collided with the Earth and it split off yadda yadda yadda.

No.

2:08

Alemas2005

Ah.

2:08

Guacamole1998

So...

the question must be asked:

2:08

Alemas2005

I thought rocks formed around to make a planet and orbited around us...

2:08

Guacamole1998

Why are the craters on it always from vertical collisions with asteroids?

Why are there no craters from non-vertical collisions?

I mean:

there is no atmosphere that could have made asteroid make a turn towards the ground, slowing them down and making the collide vertically from above.

Like on Earth.

It's weird...

And why is it round anyway.

It's very unlikely that in formed that way while oribiting around Earth.

2:10

Alemas2005

Planets aren't perfectly round.

"spherical".

They have mountains and stuff.

And depressions.

2:11

Guacamole1998

It's not massive enough to become round by itself whle being attracted by something as big as the Earth.

And if it formed itself in outer space than it's even less likely that it would orbit the Earth.

It would be attracted by the Jupiter instead and be another moon of it.

Even if there were no mountains, planets still aren't round.

They're slightly flatter at the poles.

Because of the roation the outer parts of the planet at the equator are affected by the centrifugal force much stronger...

So you see, this is al rather weird, and though people pretend to know everything, they don't even know everything about Earth itself yet and they think they are ready to enter the universe or communicate with aliens.

It's all much more complicated than that...

2:15

Alemas2005

Too complicated, I'm sleeping.

You know the Voyager Golden records?

It has music, sounds and images.

2:15

Guacamole1998

What?

Ha, now I'm the one talking.

2:16

Alemas2005

Yes...

The discs inside the Voyager spacecrafts.

2:16

Guacamole1998

Yeah.

2:16

Alemas2005

I think any aliens playing it will be put off by this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Voyager_golden_record_82_feeding.gif

2:16

Guacamole1998

They should have put something from Enter Shikari on there.

2:16

'''Alemas2005 '''


 * Facepalm*

2:17

Guacamole1998

What?

2:17

Alemas2005

You only think about modern music.

2:17

Guacamole1998

System Metldwon and Gandhi, Mate, Gandhi perfectly represent our political system.

In a negative way, though.

I hate most modern music.

2:17

Alemas2005

Exactly, they'll be put off.

2:18

Guacamole1998

2:18

Alemas2005

THE BAND FORMED IN 2003.

2:18

Guacamole1998

No.

So?

2:18

Alemas2005

VOYAGER LIFTED OFF IN THE LATE SEVENTIES.

2:18

Guacamole1998

WHO CARES

2:18

Alemas2005

THEY CAN'T REWRITE THE THING.

2:18

Guacamole1998

Hybryd existed since 1999.

Or something.

Whatever...

But it's good that they put singing whales on ther.e

2:19

Alemas2005

LOL.

2:19

Guacamole1998

Though, probably the record quality is rubbish.

2:19

Alemas2005

Yeah.

OI, ALIENS!

IF YOU ARE SOMEHOW READING THIS...

2:19

Guacamole1998

2:19

Alemas2005

PLEASE DON'T IGNORE US FOREVER!

WE WANT TO MEET YOU!

2:20

Guacamole1998

I bet they are following our conversation Alemas.

2:20

Alemas2005

If you don't want to blow us up, of course.

2:20

Guacamole1998

But...

It's like supercars.

We say we want to have them, but actually we don't.

Taxes...

A nomral person can't afford having one.

2:20

Alemas2005

WE ARE BEGINNING TO FEEL ALONE HERE.

2:20

Guacamole1998

the same's with aliens...

HUMANS ARE FOREVER ALONE.

2:21

Alemas2005

Ok, now I definitely put them off...

2:21

Guacamole1998

Wait, need to drink more sage tea.

I'm starting to get addicted...

2:22

Alemas2005

Parsley sage, rosemary and thyyyyme...

Sorry, it's from a song.

2:23

Guacamole1998

So, to get back I actually wanted to ask you...

Have you read anything from the Noon Universe Alemas?

2:24

Alemas2005

No.

2:24

Guacamole1998

YOU HAVE TO.

2:24

Alemas2005

WHAT IS IT?

2:24

Guacamole1998

A lot of alien stuff, but in a very unconventional way...

2:24

Alemas2005

LINKY PLEASE.

2:24

Guacamole1998

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noon_Universe

I'm about to read all the books.

I have read about half of 'em.

2:25

Alemas2005

Ugh, Russian, no thanks.

2:25

Guacamole1998

WHY?

It's very awesome.

Seriously.

Start reading...

2:26

Alemas2005

WHATEVER.

2:26

Guacamole1998

Um...

2:26

Alemas2005

I DON'T HAVE THE BOOKS.

2:26

Guacamole1998

HTBAG maybe.

My personal fav.

Get them. Not so expensive.

2:27

Alemas2005

NO.

2:27

Guacamole1998

C'MON.

IT'S FASCINATING.

2:27

Alemas2005

EVERYTHING WILL BE IN GERMAN ANYWAY.

2:27

Guacamole1998

What?

2:27

Alemas2005

IT'S HARD FINDING ENGLISH BOOKS WHERE I LIVE.

2:27

Guacamole1998

Read it in Egnlish.

Amazon.

2:27

Alemas2005

Why didn't I think of it before?!

2:28

Guacamole1998

Do you never online-shop?

2:28

Alemas2005

I can buy Tolkien's stuff in English from Amazon!

2:28

Guacamole1998

What?

Sarcasm much?

2:28

Alemas2005

No!

2:28

Guacamole1998

YOU READ TOLKIEN?!

2:28

Alemas2005

No, but I would like to.

2:28

Guacamole1998

I HAVE ALL OF HIS STUFF! IN ENGLISH!

2:28

Alemas2005

My mum wants to read it too...

She's a would-be fan of him...

2:29

Guacamole1998

Wait a sec, I can tell you what edition I have...

2:29

Alemas2005

BBL, lunch...

2:29

Guacamole1998

I know like everything about the LOTR universe anyway.

2:29

Alemas2005

SAVE THE CHAT LOG IN THE MEAN TIME.

PLEASE.

2:29

Guacamole1998

Harper Collins!

Get the Harper Collins edition!

Of the PM?

K.
