    Had a Japanese VP who was in charge of industrial software design at a very famous company tell me, while in a meeting with myself and my staff, that women did not have the brains to be programmers.

    Genesis For The Modern Age

    • 1. In the beginning there was only God and he alone created the void that was the Universe. Then into the void that was the Universe God placed a infinitesimal part of his being.
    • 2. And the void being with out substance was unable to contain this essence of God and so it expanded at a terrible speed releasing unimaginable energies.
    • 3. Where upon God created the four fundamental forces toe contain these energies. The Strong Nuclear Force, the Weak Nuclear Force, the Gravitational Force and the Electromagnetic Force.
    • 4. And with the establishment of these controlling forces expansion of the Universe slowed and the great energies cooled the first elementary partials were formed.
    • 5. And from these partials the first atoms were formed. The initial one having a single proton and electron and God looked down and said let this be called Hydrogen.
    • 6. Then when all the Universe was Hydrogen the Fundamental Force of Gravity caused groups of these atoms to come together in ever larger masses.
    • 7. Where upon when the masses became so large and the Force of Gravity so strong that they started to smash the atoms of Hydrogen together creating new atoms and releasing new energies that illuminated the Universe.
    • 8. And thus Stars were born and there was now light upon the void.
    • 9. Then as the forces within the stars created heavier and heavier atoms the energies generated within became great. Greater in fact than the Force of Gravity. Where upon the very Stars themselves exploded spewing the atoms out in great clouds into the void.
    • 10. Again the fundamental forces came into play creating new stars from the lighter atoms and Planets from the heavier ones. Starting the cycle of Star birth and death.
    • 11. Now it came to pass that the Planets once formed were much cooler than the Stars allowing the atoms of various types to join together according to the Fundamental forces into molecules.
    • 12. Some were simple such as the water that filled the seas some were complex such as the precursor proteins of life itself.
    • ... (and so on and so on ... )

  22. They are Looking for the Wrong type of Signature on SETI Running Out of Money · · Score: 1

    As a race becomes more advanced their communications technology will move from being a high powered shotgun to a low powered shotgun or highly targeted rifle. This will make them very difficult to detect. However, what we will be able to detect will be the gamma ray bursts of nuclear weapons used in their space battles. This is what we should be looking for because those races that have not developed and does not practice this type of space warfare, this is is a peaceful race, is just going to be someone else's 'food' and die out or be conquered.
