This part: "US is where tourists are being expelled now because the soles of their shoes are burning off regularly" is incorrect

Well, it appears to be the same scenario as Planet X, only this time it's a "galactic superwave" thingy that's heading right for us. How do they know this? It appears that this *knowledge* has come from "lucid dreams", Hopi prophecy and of course everyone's favorite, ETs! Snip:

Hmm...it also appears that we will need to *make our own gravity* in order to avoid this calamity:

The sky is falling! The world is ending! We must take action! ETs please save us! Oh, and BTW...send us your $$ and we'll show you how to avoid it all!

Wait a second, wasn't that a plot for one of the Star Trek movies? The crossover one with the old cast?

I did.

Something ALL Tibetans can take great comfort in... :roll:

What is this website? 8-[

[edit- I hope I didn't take the context away from the photo or vice versa.]

They were comparing that photo to one of the milky way.
Apparently it's this portion that's connected to that photo:

didn't anyone see "The White Ninja"...classic. Anyway, I love that picture....very crude, but I like it. As for the wave thing, anybody surf, perhaps if we make a planetary size surf board, we could go on a hellava ride.

Thanks TravisM. I just really liked that photo.

It's a pretty picture which will replace a thousand words if hung properly...

Actually we have nothing to worry about, since, when correctly (i.e., non-Cornell) interpreted relativistically, the "wave" isn't moving at all!

Now just to figure out a way to slow down the Earth's moving toward the "wave"... :-k



Ride the "Wave"!

I live out here among the Indians and these are just fairy tales the grandparents and parents make up to tell the children. These stories are like our “Alice in Wonderland” stories and other fairy tales. In these modern times these “old Indian legends” now include stories of flying saucers and other modern stuff.

Also, it’s a proven fact that anyone, anywhere, can make up a totally new “Old Hopi Indian Legend” and post it on the internet, and within 5 years more than a dozen other websites will have that same story posted on them.

True.

Plus the wildest, most unbelievable "fairy tales" tend to come from the northeastern part of New Mexico.

We are very proud of our fairy tales out here in New Mexico. They get quoted all over the world. We’ve fooled more Northeastern Anthropologists and Tourists than any other ethnic group. Our Roswell story is quite famous.

Alice in Wonderland isn't true??

I "agree" with the Star Trek comment - often these stories seem to come from fiction.

Another possible example:

Forgive me for not remembering the title, but I "remember" a book of short stories by Larry Niven - one of the "known space" books.

In it, the hero finds out after a FTL trip to the centre of the Galaxy, that the core has all gone nova in a chain reaction. The blast wave (radiation...) is travelling outwards and will sterilise the Galaxy.

The Pupeteers (mysterious uber race) then run away (not FTL, as they think it is too risky).

So, someone reads that story. Ten years later they remember it, but not its' source - and voila, old Hopi legend?

Cheers,

Dark Star?
