It is entirely possible that there are much more efficient ways for life to exist or function, but are different than the way life happened to happen here on earth. Or it could be that life DID happen that way but the methodology was not optimal for the environment at the time so the DNA/RNA based forms outlived them.
Or that it simply hasn't come to that point in our evolution. Why assume that the human genome is at its peak?
Dark matter is thought to be matter that does not interact with other matter except gravitationally.
"In physics, the fifth dimension is a hypothetical extra dimension beyond the usual three spatial and one time dimensions; e.g. physicists have speculated that the graviton, a particle thought to carry the force of gravity, may "leak" into the fifth or higher dimensions which would explain how gravity is significantly weaker than the other three fundamental forces." (Wikipedia)
What about theoretical particles like tachyons? I was not sure if the article referred to anti-electrons commonly associated w/ anti-matter collisions (or is that a matter-antimatter collision). I am also not familiar with the basic nature of said particles, as I have only a casual interest in such physics.
I was also stoned when I wrote that, the thought of aliens using a galactic standard FTL data transmission technique (unbeknownst to humanity, yet), peaqued my interest.

Drugs? Sign me up!
I can't believe I don't see more people using this.

If I still had mod points I would mod this up. I almost laughed because of how true this could possibly be.
I second this, just got this bad-ass new ash-catcher yesterday.
I dunno lol
Plan? What plan?
...can now be seen again!
Did anyone else read that as:
"SpaceX Successfully Tested Disco Thruster"?
Oh My God
Wait...
Oh my god...
*holds self*
Peeeh aiich PEEEEE!
*Raises mind-controlled prosthetic ant-limb*
no
Maybe everyone would own a "news-paper", refreshing with new, up-to-date news every day.

"Teacher Sells Acid on Tests"
Johnathan, what's this I hear about you not turning in your mid-term? And where on earth are your pupils!
It took me 6 full mouse scrolls to ignore TFS.
You can't use your home phone to talk 24/7
You have clearly never seen a house full of teenage girls. lol
You've seen girls?!
So being naive to the ways of the world is bad karma now? I thought Buddhism stressed being free from the material things of the world.
The speed of light is an absolute limit.
Could this barrier be theoretically broken with use of a higher dimension?
Subspace Communication (Excuse the reference :P)

Kaluza-Klein Theory
Site that attempts to visualize higher dimensions (java required)
I don't really know where I'm going with this, but it makes for interesting reading.
Grammar correction accepted.

Do these particles travel faster than light? Could it be used as a form of communication? IS it used as a form of communication?
