Alien Definition and 127 Threads

Many here may have heard of Alien Hand Syndrome http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=12655 Could this be an example of Alien Paw Syndrome? :biggrin: [edit by Ivan: link deleted. See post #16]

If an alien species produced memories using process involving an overall negative entropy change, would it have memories from our future? It would appear to us as though these alien memories were being destroyed with an overall positive entropy change (since in our perception every reaction...

How come on whatever Sci-fi show/movie e.g. Startrek, Star Wars, Stargate SG-1, star.*, etc. you never see people struggling to pick up their feet or bouncing around freely on whatever random planet they visit, as though whatever planet happens to have exactly the same as Earth's mass, isn't...

Here is a poll...how many alien civilizations do you think are existing in the Milky Way at this moment. - 1 - 10 - 50 - 100 - 1000 - 10 000 or more I would vote for 50

Both our kind of intelligence (a civilization) and superior physical abilities (like superhuman strength, speed, agility, etc).

http://www.newsregister.com/news/story.cfm?story_no=193580 I don't know what to say. What could it be? Somewhat interesting if everything that was said is true. Edit by Ivan: Link fixed.

Ignoring the if, when, and how of contact with an alien race, what would the social stigmata be of this event? Suppose that we receive radio signals from Race B (roughly equivalent in technological development) that originate several light years away in 2010. How would our society be forced to...

In defining consciousness as it relates to humans, is it reasonable to assume that extra terrestrial life having evolved to an equivalent or higher state will interact with the physical universe in the same way, put simply do you think aliens think/experience like us on a deeper level ?

http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/space/03/23/craigslist.space/index.html i.e., number of star systems reached = zero! I think I’d prefer first contact to be an “elite” message rather than random babbling. :rolleyes:

Speculation On Extra Solar Biology I think this could be an interesting thing to talk about, what could alien life really be like? Of course nothing like the stupidity shown in movies and on TV. To get this thread going I've provided a link to an unfinished world building project...

Check this out: http://edition.cnn.com/2004/TECH/space/09/02/et.send/index.html This article got me thinking. On an alien planet, on which life forms have developed in a completely different way to us; how would they think (presuming they were more intelligent than us) what would their...

Why the predator and alien can existed together in Egypt long time ago? Why the pyramid still existed , wasn't it destroyed by an explosion when the predator was defeated? Why the girl was not killed by predator?

This was posted in another forum and I was just wondering what the Physics Forum thinks should be chosen. ----------------------------- Alien trade Imagine if you will. An alien spacecraft the size of London appears suddenly over New York. After the inevitable panic, mayhem, calls...

This is something that everyone on the planet should read, it's a very real possibility given todays technological capabilities. http://educate-yourself.org/cn/cosmicdeception04apr03.shtml

http://www.mosnews.com/news/2004/08/10/tunguska.shtml According to the Moscow News, the first ever debris of the object that exploded over Tunguska, Russia in 1908 has been recovered. The article says that a large black, metallic box has been found and has been sent to a lab for analysis...

Once in awhile i'll be walking down the street, and for a brief second, my perspective shifts. Everything around me (the pavement, the houses, the cars) seem extremely surreal and ficticious. I feel like I'm walking in that model town from the movie "Beetlejuice". I get a flashback of this...

http://my.webmd.com/content/article/89/100279.htm?z=1728_00000_1000_nb_04 I assume this may just be a case of bad reporting but the article appears to say that it can't be so its not. As reported, the logic appears to be completely circular.

When I made first contact with the alien I was amazed by how different it looked, even though it's basic shape resembled mine. For example, we both had 2 arms and 2 hands, but the alien's hands tapered into only two digits on one hand and three on the other. I tried speaking to the alien, I said...

Alien Abductee Stress Thousands of people claim that they have been abducted by aliens. Are they lying? Research suggests that, in many cases, those making the claim truly believe it happened. "In case after case after case, I've been impressed with the consistency of the story, the...
