Um.. Battlestar Galactica?

Ah, Mitchell is a Stargate reference!

I'm not spoiling

Ahhhh sorry with you now. Girl + internet + sci-fi? Your are a LIAR! Such a thing does not exist.

Cam Mitchell is nothing compared to Jack.

This indicates that maybe Einstein isn't always right.

I'd be suprised if we don't one way gain the ability to travel to other stars be it via some 'warp' system or 'hyperspace' as employed by things like Stargate, B5 (I think?), and even Star Wars. Just maybe not in my lifetime

Folding is where it's at.....allegedly.

Why would they come here though? If you were an alien, would you bother?

Perhaps it's worth mentioning that theory of mine which I like to tell anyone who will listen...

In galactic terms the earth is actually quite an interesting place for one reason - the fact that we have a quite spectacular event which occurs frequently. I'm talking of course about a total solar eclipse and as Wiki says:

"Spectacular solar eclipses are an extreme rarity within the universe at large. They are seen on Earth because of a fortuitous combination of circumstances that are statistically very improbable. Even on Earth, spectacular eclipses of the type familiar to people today are a temporary (on a geological time scale) phenomenon. Many millions of years in the past, the Moon was too close to the Earth to precisely occult the Sun as it does during eclipses today; and many millions of years in the future, it will be too far away to do so."

It makes sense then, that if someone on the other side of the galaxy were to say there's no reason to visit Earth, another person might say, hang on, isn't Earth that planet with a reasonable atmosphere that has a regular, predictable occurrence of what they call a total solar eclipse?

If that were true, that the Earth was regarded by aliens from across our galaxy, or even other galaxies, as of paticular significance, I guess it would make sense that sightings of alien spacecraft would increase in number around the time of a solar eclipse.

And guess what?

My girlfriend's favourite movie is Dune, she doesn't post on forums though.

I'd always thought that there had to be at least some form of life out there but it tends to be the case that people think any species we encounter would be more advanced than us. What if our planet was the first to see life? Imagine in 1000 years time we fold space to greet some weird primitive cavefreaks?

Maybe I'm an Alien!

Jack does beat Cam hands down, however, I am a girl and I have a bit of a weak spot for Ben Browder

@ phykell.

"They" would choose to come here because, unlike well over 99.9% of the other heavenly bodies, we've been broadcasting proof that intelligent life exists here.
