Robert Bradbury the person who introduced us to Matrioshka Brains has passed away.  Here’s an eloquent memorium from George Dvorsky. I wonder if we will ever learn that there are billions of Matrioshka Brains in the Milky Way, most of them far from the galactic center.  We currently call them dark matter. If I had [...]

The basic argument of an atheist is “If there is a God then prove it, where is the evidence?  I can’t see him, I’ve never seen a miracle, there is no evidence of supernatural powers or beings.”  Replace those words with aliens and you get the exact same argument.  Anyone who argues against the existence [...]

For those who might misinterpret my prior comments on Darwinism here’s a clarification. The philosophy of Darwinism leads many people to use the word “paradox” to describe the lack of alien visitors. They all “know” that the evolution of sentient life is easy, so facile, that the Milky Way “must be” teaming with intelligent life. [...]

Many recent blog posts continue to try to explain the Fermi Paradox.  I’ll try to explain why these writers just don’t get it. http://enfranchisedmind.com/blog/posts/the-fermi-paradox/ http://www.edge.org/q2006/q06_9.html http://www.entangledstates.org/2009/06/where-are-they-another-solution-to-fermis-paradox.html http://www.technologyreview.com/blog/arxiv/23604/ http://www.wunderkabinett.co.uk/damndata/index.php?/archives/1796-Alternative-solutions-to-the-Fermi-paradox.html http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/0408521v1 Many people still are confused on several points about the Fermi Paradox.  Let’s start with the name. The word paradox is used because everyone “knows” it’s [...]

Reginald Smith from the Bouchet-Franklin Institute in Rochester, New York has written a paper which claims that every civilization in the Milky Way stops broadcasting EM after 1000 years.  Based on this assumption he shows that it is reasonable that our galaxy has multiple sentient species who never interact with each other. This assumption seems [...]

Scientists have analyzed noise in the GEO600 gravitational wave detection system and concluded it is holographic in nature. This leads them to propose that this entire universe is a holographic projection. That is one serious projector.  The computational power required to process the signals and send them to the projector probably outpaces an entire galaxy [...]

Suppose the cosmologists have it wrong and dark matter really is composed of baryons.  It’s not like cosmologists have a great track record.  Most of their theories have been proven wrong over the past few centuries.  Comparing the track record of mathematicians with cosmologists is pretty much night and day.  When a mathematician says they [...]

Fermi’s Paradox can be resolved in many ways. My preference is the following: Natural evolution of advanced species is much rarer than most Darwinists would have you believe. It is in fact so rare that the probability of at least one species evolving in any given galaxy is below 1 (perhaps well below 1). Many [...]
