NASSA has just announced that flowing water has been found on MARS----OK then so where are the signs of life??that was one of the things the Boffin's said was the criteria for life

Draconid Meteor Outburst Oct. 4, 2011
Forecasters say Earth is heading for a stream of dust from Comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner. A close encounter with the comet's fragile debris could spark a meteor outburst over parts of our planet on October 8th.
best wear a bandanna then or even a mask, don't want to catch some dirty little germs

HI PEEPS AGAIN --NOT A LOT OF ACTIVITY ON HERE THEN ?
THE Giacobini-Zinner Comet is due to hit earth tonight, well tiny bits of it and we in England are perfectly placed to see it The boffins recon -but are a bit concerned about the Satellites buzzing around up there with their sensitive electronics

This is happening now the pic/shows three galaxy`s in collision , they are just down the road at 450 million light years away, and about 150 million light years across, good old Hubble. This is what our galaxy may look like when the Andromeda Galaxy collides with ours

Anyone ever consider that time travel is possible and aliens are really humans coming back from the future to replentish the gene pool? Maybe, evolution has some handicaps that require backing up now and then. Guessing that if a government found real aliens from a crash and did a DNA test to find they were humans and distant descendents of us, they would never make the information public. It would set religions on their heads. We would have the comfort of knowing that these future humans were protecting us from a destroying asteroid. Which might explain why so little money is spent to prevent that from happening.

Ask John Titor, Coldwarrior
Anyone from 2036 would have taken a Cray computer back but he didn't about that. Why not if he was from that year. Because it was beyond plausible imagination of the John Titor creator. Also the JT creator couldn't get too far in the future so the near present future would be common knowledge history. Of course the plan left a lot of wiggle room for prediction errors. If one knows what the future is, it isn't a prediction but a fact so there are no deviations. John Titor is a hoax probably conjured up by some computer geek like those who used to work for me. Consequently, their knowledge of actual history or details of current events is peripheral.
What I suggested was a human from perhaps a million years from now that had gone to another planet and evolved physically into something more adaptable to the environment that exists there. Perhaps a smaller planet with plenty of water and minerals but devoid of plants and animals as we know them. They might have tools and seed packages carried with them, machines to grow DNA into living creatures and engineering plans to build larger facilities to reproduce all the technology known at the time they left. But like everything else, nothing works out strictly according to plans. They began to change and the living creatures began to change. So they need to come back here now and then for seed stock. They don't want to interfere with us because if they change history, they may not exist. However, they must protect us from global disaster and from ourselves. There are somethiings beyond their control, like geological events. So we might lose a billion people here or there but it doesn't get to really big numbers so we don't regress back into a stone age. It's really difficult to kill everything.

At the risk of undermining the flippancy of my original comment - which had more to do with the fact that "John Titor" mused on the same question, vis a vis UFO sightings, that you raised than any suggestion that he exemplified what you were talking about - I will say this:
If you subscribe to the view that the universe branches at every decision point, which seems quite as sensible as not doing so, then it follows that (i) the subjective experience of linear time is a construct of consciousness (by extension, the properties of local realism are accidental rather than essential - Bell's test experiments support this notion, particularly if you also subscribe to the notion of consciousness as an emergent property of quantum computation); (ii) states of being within the timestream of subjectively experience are no more real than states of being not within that timestream; (iii) as John Titor himself argued, the infamous time travel paradox of meeting yourself does not arise, because there is a version of John Titor subjectively experiencing all possible states of being within timestreams that accomodate John Titor. You can stretch that vision into a theology, wherewith God is the Universe-consciousness that intersubjectively experiences all possible states of being in all possible timestreams simultaneously (perhaps, or perhaps not, through the agency of living beings, as alluded to in the old saw about "spiritual beings having a human experience" rather than the reverse), although that's not necessary to deal with the point you raise about the Cray computer.
For one thing, a Cray XD1 would still be an OctigaBay 12K machine had a corporate acquisition gone differently. John Titor's subjective timestream, in the paradigm I outlined above (which is broadly the one "John Titor" himself described to push back against criticisms such as yours), began diverging from yours in 1998 - accepting the paradigm requires us to accept that divergence was sufficient that the civil war Titor describes as breaking out six years ago in our timestream happened for him but not for us. It should be obvious that traveling back in time to a timeline where you already exist - John Titor claimed to have encountered his 2-year-old self in this timestream, as well as having encountered another of his iterations in a different one - entails traveling into one that is materially different from the one you knew: reversing your own subjective time experience would only be possible if wholly identical states of being could be duplicated. As incongruous as it may be to invoke Occam's Razor at this stage of the argument, there is nevertheless no reason to suppose that a greater-than-sufficient infinity of such states need exist. Therefore, in traveling back in time, you travel necessarily into a past that is not your own, but that subjective past of some alternative of yourself. There is no reason to assume that Titor's future self in 2036 shares a world with Cray computers, by that name or by any other. Also, Titor revealed himself to be quite as ill-informed as your average Netizen; he declared himself far from expert on issues of global warming, doomsday predictions concerning which constituted a significant area of interest for his interlocutors, and demonstrated a commensurate lack of expertise in other areas. There is no obvious overlap between parallel processing and microsingularity management; moreover, Titor repeatedly declared himself indifferent to questions concerning individual corporations, patents, and stock market shenannigans, representing himself as a product of a significantly less commercial and more spiritual environment. One can legitimately ask what directed such a person to travel back to the earliest days of his subjective life to interact with strangers on the Internet, although curiosity seems a sufficient response to the hypothetical there.
A whole different set of questions are raised by experiences like that of Dr. Herbert Hopkins, whose account is one of the more believable famous CE3 reports I know. Personally, I find the concept of extraterrestrial life - at least, of simultaneous coexisting civilizations separated by light years and interacting with one another - vanishingly unlikely, and the body of evidence in support of that hypothesis extremely troubling. But then, personally, I can see significant timestream divergences during the lifespan of Homo species, including the Gray-like H. floresiensis to account for any apparent visitation from "aliens" without having to posit an unlikely reverse-Ark scenario.

And if I don't subscribe to those hypothesis- then what? I don't spend any time reading imaginations of other guys when I have so many of my own. All John Titor had to do to prove credibility is to provide a fact in our own future a year or so in advance. We have had these "predictors" before. All this one does is ride the tecky trend. He may be you for all I know. I don't care. I just put a bone out for people to chew. Frankly, I never heard of the guy until I googled him after your post. I didn't read all of the ramblings, One inconsistency or ridiculous statement generally closes the door on further study, I don't allow second chances to score a home run.

If you don't subscribe to the hypothesis, then you have to account differently for the paradox of coexistence. Within a linear-time narrative, how does any entity exist discontinuously, stochastically, or simultaneously with itself? If the future and past are both fixed and eternal, how can history be changed? How can someone from the future introduce themselves into the fixed past?

What with the billions of galaxies and umpteen trillions of stars/solar systems, I would say it's pretty fricking arrogant to assume humans are the only intelligent life force in existence.

Ever read the "Time Wars" series by Simon Hawke? If not, you should. Pure fiction, but a lot of speculation about parallel universes and what might happen if the "true" time line were to be interrupted.

MAD DAWG: QUOTE=to assume humans are the only intelligent life force in existence. MMMM the key word here is INTELLEGENT!! now thats open to conjecture, are we really intelligent? some times i wonder, like i said a long time ago if they arrived and landed , i am afraid that America will go straight to DEF.COM 1, probably followed by a trigger happy chappy letting a few rounds off, That could well be a very-very sad day for mankind, how do you tell them opps sorry thats what is known as "Friendly-Fire"
