I'd love to see more scientific analysis on Ganymede via probe missions and telescope. I was unaware that it is thought to have an ocean. That link referenced by Radrook isn't worth a darn, by the way (the content, that is; the link works fine, but I know BS when I see it).

With all due respect, it is my understanding that the universe is approximately 14 billion years old, so it confuses me how you can state that red dwarfs (or ANYTHING for that matter) have life spans that extend into trillions of years...So am I wrong, or are you?

With all due respect, some of what you say seems silly to me, perhaps I do not understand. In my mind, if I envision an object such as a star inhabiting a distant galaxy retreating away from "us," well then, even if the object is receding away at a rate greater than c why could we not...

Well, I am familiar with tachyons but as far as I know tachyons are a Sci Fi invention, or perhaps highly speculative science at best. And also am I familiar with wormholes, but I agree with the sentiments that wormholes are more about circumventing (or cheating the universe as someone worded...

As one may have deduced from my name, FTL (faster than light) travel interests me very much even if it will forever remain in the realm of Sci-Fi. I am a layman, and a deep understanding of the math and equations eludes me, I must admit. However, my question remains. First of all, there are...

You have cannot be indignant or condemning to someone who holds a false belief if you want to help them. You must be kind and respectful--as hard as that often is, I know. A person, even an extremely intelligent person, can cling almost endlessly to a fallacious belief if they are emotionally...

It is obsolete in that its individual components are no longer cutting edge technology. But, you must remember that it has been in space for over 20 yrs. But, by that definition virtually all pieces of tech become obsolete very quickly as new, better designs and improvements are always...

One thing that never seems to be seriously considered--and fallaciously so in my layman's opinion--is the possibility that WE are among the most advanced creatures in the galaxy and other civilizations might be relatively abundant but too primitive to communicate across interstellar distances.

Dale, I don't have a better proposition. I just meant to impart that perhaps we shouldn't deduce from the lack radio signals that we're necessarily alone, but rather that we (humans) aren't technologically on the same page as other more advanced civilizations, so to speak. The Drake...

Is it not naive of us to be looking almost exclusively for radio signals? Humans on planet Earth, our only point of reference on this matter, have been using radio for little more than 100 years in, what, approximately 200,000 years of 'existence?' Will humans even be using radio type...

The problem with the equation, in my opinion, is that the variables are TOO variable, that is to say the numbers applied to each variable are way too dependent on individual interpretations. The more I consider this topic, which I find very interesting, the more I lean towards the rare Earth...

:-pI was just making a joke there. BUT SERIOUSLY, check out the website it will be helpful.

That is how I interpret it as well.

If you are an American you should check out http://www.bls.gov/ That is the bureau of labor statistics. They provide all kinds of data on jobs including, but not limited to pay, demand, future outlook, prerequisites, etc. If you are Canadian I imagine your country has a similar service...
