I think almost anyone should be able to tell -once they are clued in- from this scene in 'Terms of Endearment' that Jack Nicholson is really a space alien, and his Corvette Sting Ray is really a space cruiser (and I'm not so sure about Shirley MacLaine either). Quote from the first 45 seconds of...

^Good one. I don't know if it's the phraseology; 'Like a good neighbor, State Farm Is There', but the two insurance agents' cheap con job sales pitch allusion to 'super being' religiosity really tripped my funny bone.

Alright, everybody just keep your cool, and whatever happens, do not let the aliens run out of bubble gum.

Adjacent truths need carefully traced conceptualization. Meeting demands in advance of future expectations can help to enhance intractable problems. Just mind surfing can be fun, but it isn’t enough for a deeper perspective. Deunification of hyperstratified content is like a ‘key’, replacing...

The subjects of Astronomy and Aliens go together like dandelions & daydreams. I couldn't find the quote, but the late John W. Campbell, Editor of Analog Science Fact & Fiction, once stated that every historic encounter between different human cultures ultimately resulted in the destruction of...

I think he will just phase through it. The Science Fiction entity ^conjectured by this thread creator typically has awesome powers, and as seen in fictional works such as a particular Original Series Star Trek episode (title escapes my memory), 'plays god' while at the same time being so morally...

edit: Geomartian; this makes me feel like I'm 'on the right track'. All your post content here is new and unfamiliar to me. At least in part, are we talking EU -Electronic Universe- phenomena? I never could figure their deeper stuff out, but the shallow concepts made some sense to me...

edit: I wonder if this post of mine about musicians' orchestra etiquette might be too far off-topic here, and be better moved to its own or a different thread, or deleted. edit: this is speaking of the musicians, not the audience, and is quite fascinating, as is the super-text -linked below-...

I suggest a 'charity joke thread' for those of us (like me) who use it -humor- as a crutch on a semi-regular basis. By the way, can I use btw or BTW in place of 'By the way', or is that not permitted? As for space travel, our potential dropdown menu of mind sets may need to include flow chart...

Thank you. I'll take that as a compliment. There may have been others, but I believe Larry Niven and Hal Clement both wrote of oblong-shaped worlds like uneven dumbells, in which gravity was not changed, but the shapes commanded radically varying gee forces. The current trend, is simply...

I would like to add two more possible explanations for a four-to-one gravitational shift between the times of the dinosaurs, and now. That is; the idea that the Earth's gravitational pull somehow seemingly increased fourfold between then and now. Both are highly improbable, but since this is...

There was a science paper or news article about 'The Impossible Dinosaurs' a few years ago. Even back in the mid-twentieth century, scientists had conjectured that the big sauropods must have been so heavy that they could not have supported their own mass under one modern Earth 'gee', or...

This seems as much a muse as a query, and a fair-minded one at that. If I may venture an attempt to respond favorably-minded and in kind somehow, it occurred to me recently that, whereas any fast-moving close-up object just a few feet away may be blurred in part, when we look into deep space...
