...it helps that I stumbled upon Lop Lop which is the best of the few albums I've actually listened to:

So much so that I've reorder the LTD edition double CD version... 

Relentless Carnage a classic! 

 

All of that guy's stuff is good.. 

The ikaruga soundtrack in anticipation of the full release...

Hey, this guy is good. :)
Music is free, so send him a couple of bucks.

Yeah - i got hooked some time playing a Donkey Kong Land game on a handheld emulator. Damn fine stuff. 

That youtube vid just got me an interesting read about the fermi paradox:

thanks, and where is everyone?
Offtopic as far as it can get, nice tune nevertheless. 

"presumably, some of these civilizations will develop interstellar travel"
Well - this is false. People just have no idea about the limits of technology. There will be no time-travel, no human like robots, and no interstellar space travel. 

Look at the outdated and narrow-minded caveman, isn't he cute.

Is the world still flat where you come from? 

On the back of a giant turtle and four elephants trippin on the light fantastic? 

I mean if we had enough thrust and a secure enough vessel, we could possibly travel fast enough through the vast emptiness of deep space, but if we could do it, wouldn't that kind of speed be enough to rupture the very fabric of our universe? Maybe it would leave such a devastating wake that it would obliterate our solar system, maybe even our entire galaxy?

Or else we'd run the risk of arriving a few billion years too late for it to mean anything in any way that we would be able to comprehend. Our feeble bodies and minds would not be able to sustain that kind of chaos... 

"According to calculations, the comoving distance (current proper distance) to particles from the CMBR, which represent the radius of the visible universe, is about 14.0 billion parsecs (about 45.7 billion light years), while the comoving distance to the edge of the observable universe is about 14.3 billion parsecs (about 46.6 billion light years),[1] about 2% larger."

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

Siting Wikipedia there, not the source from which they have extrapolated this theory in some way. 

There will be no time-travel, no human like robots, and no interstellar space travel.

How do you know this? 

What's your point regarding the size of the observable universe?

Also, and I'm going to sound like a dick and / or grammar nazi, but it's driving me crazy: The verb is 'to cite' and not 'to site'. 

He knows it due to the perfectly correct and irrefutable knowledge of modern science...




...because throughout history, that scientific knowledge has NEVER changed or improved as methods, equipment or theories evolve.


<insert DERP here> 

leave our precious music thread alone, you nutjobs. 

no interstellar space travel
All technologies only exist inside the society they inhabit. Whether sending humans/aliens huge distances through space is possible (i believe it is impossible) is irrelevant. The societies will all have depleted their planet's resources/overpopulated to such an extant that chaos reigns, long, long before the technology is discovered.

I saw "Bob Dylan Live at Newport Folk Festival" DVD last week. It's a great insight into the whole folk/hippy music culture thing. I grew up listening to my Mom's Baez/Dylan/PeterPaulMary records- but god Dylan made some awful music too.

Can you back that up with some, or is it pure speculation on your part? And even if that were true for the human race (I'm not saying it isn't), how can you be so arrogant as to apply it to all other forms of intelligent life? 

I just mean that if the size of the observable universe is 46 Billion light years across then if we could travel at the speed if light (which we might find pretty difficult), then it would still take billions of years to get anywhere.... 

I doubt that actually organisms as we are would travel those distances, just because we are not made for space.
And if we want to preserve sth. for the future, it sure won�t be our ugly appearance.
Space however does offer quite good conservation environment...
So in the end, it doesn�t matter how long sth.
would travel, as long as its in a state of being able to get reactivated in future times.

But who can predict, how magic technic will be in say 50 years?
Just look at past predictions, like we will never be able to reach the moon and such bs..
