  1. 1. If aliens existed should it be exposed to the wider public?

    • Yes. We all have a right to know if other intelligent life forms exist!
    • No. People would panic and this could lead to anarchy!
    • Other. Specify.
  2. 2. What do you think would be the outcome of your answer to Q1?

    • Humans would be fascinated and welcoming.
    • We'd all lose it and anarchy would reign supreme
    • Other. Specify.

We are slowly being brainwashed by hollywood to accept that aliens exist. Just take a look at how many alien/sc-fii movies are released every year. Why is this so? What could be the reason.

It's simple, aliens don't exist, an yes I enjoy sci-fi and alien movies.

Google is your firend (sometimes) :-)

:rolleyes:

cooI story bro , needs some dragons and aliens.

Aliens are the discussion of this topic. I didn't think I needed to mention them. But I did forget about dragons. Something I am ashamed of :(

I think knowing that aliens exist would be the best thing ever for the human race. Not only would we realize we're aren't along in this universe, it would give all of mankind a common enemy. Well, except for the traitors who worked with them.

I agree that such knowledge can potentially unite the whole human race and this is undoubtedly a good thing.

However, I don't think that all the aliens are hostile.

You see, I'm a strong believer in the application of Newton's third law of motion beyond just physics (to every action there is always opposed an equal reaction). So, if there are hostile aliens running amok across the cosmos preying upon the weak civilizations, then there must be some kind of inter-galactic police force there.

I believe in good vs evil, the justice, and the propensity to balance.

I know this topic is old but I still think it is an interesting conversation and it seems silly to create a whole new topic for it.

Anyone else wish to weigh? Change their position?

Could you provide evidence to that? Or have you personally visited the Billions, possibly trillions of Planets out there and checked? Or if you are getting it from a book, could it be a book that wasnt written by a bunch of superstitious primitives.

Couldn't you have waited until next month and then celebrated the threads birthday of its last post?

I could have, but then I would have robbed you of the opportunity to point that out ;)

This is a pretty commonly asked question: If intelligent alien life existed and visited earth, should the wider population be informed or would it be more prudent to keep it a secret?

Some things you might consider before answering:

1. Are the aliens hostile or friendly?

2. Do the aliens want their existence to be widely acknowledged? If not, do we have a right to disclose that they do anyway?

3. What is their purpose of arriving, e.g. In need of asylum, refugees, resources, trade technology, simple exploration etc.

If you're wondering why I put this in the conspiracy area instead of somewhere else, it's simply because some people already believe there is a conspiracy to cover up the fact that aliens have already visited, regularly visit or are on their way.

I added a rough poll just to stimulate discussion, feel free to elaborate in a reply. :alien:

1. Are we alone? - No. One must be a real ignorant to think we are the only ones in the universe.

2. Are aliens good or evil? - We do not know, but if there is evil here, I am sure there is evil out there as well.

3. Do aliens want Humans to see them? - I think so.

4. Will aliens make "official" first contact with Humans? - Definitely. It's only a matter of time before they do.

5. Is the government hiding the truth about aliens? - They are hiding something, otherwise why are they so worried about people taking a peak at Area 51 all the time if all they have there are "secret military planes"? - Give me a break.

whose to say that they haven't? nobody knows....except for wack jobs that make false claims....but seriously. <Something to think about, huh? I like these form your own opinion type of threads, personally.

1. Are we alone? - No. One must be a real ignorant to think we are the only ones in the universe.

2. Are aliens good or evil? - We do not know, but if there is evil here, I am sure there is evil out there as well.

I'm sorry, but what evidence do you have of alien life? You can't simply argue the universe is a big place, therefore alien life must exist.

Respectfully, you're using the word ignorant, ignorantly.

As far as the words "good" and "evil" go, I think they are nebulous, superstitious words.

Deflecting and misinformation is a good way to keep busy looking for something else why you're off doing something completely different. It's also safe to say if you have secret black projects being developed, you are worried about prying eyes. It's silly to say you need an alien excuse to want to keep something secret.

I don't need to have evidence there isn't, you need to have evidence there is. The burden of proof isn't on me. I really don't understand why people have troubling grasping this very straight-forward point.

The person or people who make a claim have to be the ones to provide the evidence for it.

You said it yourself: There isn't any evidence indicating that we are the only living beings in the universe, therefore you cannot sit there with a straight face and tell us that we are the only living souls in the entire God-created universe. Common sense tells you that if God was God here, why couldn't he be God somewhere else as well? Common sense my brother...common sense.

NASA recently discovered Earth-like planets hundreds of light years away, unfortunately we can't go there, but if we could, I would be more than glad to take you with me to show you and proof to you that our Earth is not the only planet with living lifeforms in the universe.

Also, you do realize that Mars has ice caps right? Ice is made of frozen water and water is the main source of life. Mars had life at one time thousands of years ago according to NASA. Where did they go or what happened to them is still a mystery, but there was life there at one time. Here you go, just for you:

Although I agree that there a great chance that there is life out there, maybe even just bacteria, maybe intelligent forms of life, we have yet to find any evidence. The articles you link to simply indicate that mars could have supported life, not that it definitely did.

Yes, they are hiding something. No one knows what it is. You're obviously interested in aliens and are pulled to the idea based on a lot of myth that alien technology/aliens are located there. All anyone knows is that something may be hidden there.

Though the following video strongly uses examples of the super-natural, it is also very poignant here IMO. Just replace any reference of "super-natural" with "extra-terrestrial" as you watch ;P

You cannot assume something exists because there isn't evidence that it doesn't exist. It doesn't work like that.

Also, common sense is not much use in science & logic.

NASA recently discovered Earth-like planets hundreds of light years away, unfortunately we can't go there, but if we could, I would be more than glad to take you with me to show you and proof to you that our Earth is not the only planet with living lifeforms in the universe.

That's an assumption. It could very well be true, I wouldn't bet against it, but it's an assumption none the less & I wouldn't be so ignorant as to act like I've been there & know.

5. Is the government hiding the truth about aliens? - They are hiding something, otherwise why are they so worried about people taking a peak at Area 51 all the time if all they have there are "secret military planes"? - Give me a break.

You mean military planes aren't exciting enough for you? I find it bizarre that you think it's more likely they are hiding an alien spaceship or some other interstellar doodah. Talk about fantasist.

But, hey, I've never been Area 51 so maybe they do have a crystal powered monkey navigated inter-dimensional time machine. I just think...well.. probably not; or at least I'll wait til I see it.

When did god come into the topic? Again this claim of god falls on you to provide the evidence of it's existence. Just like the aliens you say exists but have no actual evidence of.

    • We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager by Steven Parker I was offered the chance to test out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager, and full disclosure, they let me keep it regardless of my findings. Anyway, I jumped at the chance due to my long hours sitting at my desk; I figured it could offer some neck pain relief. What's in the box: SKG PS700-2 Neck Massager Rechargeable Battery (inside massager) Type-C USB cable User Manual Quick Start guide 1-Year Warranty In short, everything you need to get started. According to the official listing, here are the key features: Biomimetic Kneading & High Torque Motor: Designed with innovative biomimetic kneading heads that perfectly simulate the touch of human hands. Powered by a high-torque motor, this massager delivers powerful and precise deep tissue relief to effectively target stiff neck muscles and release built-up tension Soothing Heat & Integrated Sound Relaxation: Experience the ultimate Relaxationation with our dual-action approach. The soothing heat function gently warms your neck, while the built-in sound Relaxation provides calming audio tracks, helping you achieve a state of mindfulness and mental tranquility during your physical massage Cordless Convenience & Travel-Ready & Father's Day Gifts: Crafted for maximum portability and ease of use. Its lightweight, cordless design allows you to enjoy a premium massage anywhere without the hassle of tangled wires-whether you're taking a quick break at your desk or winding down at home Versatile Relief for Home & Office: An essential wellness companion for office workers, gamers, frequent travelers, or anyone looking to integrate mindfulness into their daily routine. It seamlessly fits into your lifestyle, providing instant neck relief whenever and wherever you need it Safe & Premium Materials: Manufactured with high-quality, skin-friendly materials to ensure a safe and comfortable experience without irritation. SKG backs this device with dedicated customer service, making it a thoughtful tech-health gift for family and friends App & Bluetooth Music Control: Connect via Bluetooth to control your massage settings through the dedicated app and enjoy your favorite music during your massage session for a fully customizable and immersive relaxation experience Red Light Warmth Technology: Features advanced red light warmth technology that penetrates deep into neck muscles to enhance blood circulation and provide soothing comfort while relieving muscle tension and stiffness Design With all that out of the way, here are my own findings. SKG does not say what materials are used to make the neck massager. However, on the product website, it mentions "soft-touch silicone" with what looks like PU leather cushioning, with the rest being mostly made up of plastics. On the inside of the massager, there are two "biomimetic kneading heads" that are motorized for the different styles of massage, which are not actually listed at all in the paper user manual, but the standard included modes are: De-stress mode, Mediation mode, Relax mode, Shiatsu mode. The massager looks quite premium and is actually very comfortable to wear. This massager is small and light enough to go anywhere, as it doesn't get in the way of anything, so I was able to use it in the chair while writing this review. Unlike the back massager, SKG does not warn in the user guide not to use it for more than 30 minutes a day (or two 15-minute sessions). However, there is a long laundry list of important safeguards to consider before and during the use of the device, and it is warned that the neck massager is not waterproof. It also includes a 1,400mAh battery with a rated power of 14W and input of 5V, which is the standard for up to USB 3.0 power (although the Amperage is not mentioned at all). SKG does not say how long it takes to charge, but a quick calculation at 2A (if that is what it is) would mean it would take roughly 1.5 hrs to charge from empty. In any case, the light around the button changes from orange to green on a full charge. In addition, it is not possible to use the device while it is charging. On the right of the neck massager is the On/Off and modes button, which also acts as a joystick. You can operate all the modes directly from the power button, as well as the app, which I'll get into a bit later: Push up: Short press to adjust Heat levels On/Off button: long press Mode Switching: Short press (while in operation) ➕ Push left: increase Music volume ➖ push right: decrease Music volume Push down: Short-press to turn Music on or off The massager defaults to De-stress mode, and it is not stated anywhere if the neck massager has overheat protection. This time around, regarding heat, the only detail I could find is that it has "triple action soothing heat." The temperature stages are not listed anywhere in the paper manual, Amazon listing, or official website. The heat levels can be adjusted through the app or directly on the device using the joystick button. Usage There's also the SKG Health app, which makes using the massager far easier than feeling around for the button on the side of your neck. If the app is stopped, you are required to log in with a verification code over email, which I am not too pleased with, as this means it will only work that way for however long SKG decides to support it through said app. However, I was not able to get the app to connect to the OS500, which I have reported back to my contact. Bluetooth appeared to be working on the neck massager as it became available to pair with my phone, but the SKG app failed to discover it. Before I forget, there's also a switch next to the USB charging port to deactivate and activate the Voice Prompt, which, when enabled, audibly tells the user when switching intensities, modes, or connecting to the app and informs when the massages start and are completed. That said, on to my likes and dislikes, which are listed below. What I didn't like Unable to connect the Neck Massager to the app Use through the mobile app relies on continued support from SKG What I liked Can be used without the app Cordless use Light and comfortable to wear Heat is also quite comfortable Where to buy: According to the official website, this has an MSRP of $249.99, but is currently $50 (on Amazon). To sweeten the deal a bit more, there's also an in-page coupon that knocks a further $20 off the price. SKG PS700-2 Neck Massager for $179.99 on Amazon (was $199.99) Apply the in-page $20 off coupon for the final price of $179.99 Just like the back massager, this gets a confused thumbs up (due to the cost). However, I cannot rate it through app usage as it failed to connect. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
    • This Samsung T7 external SSD deal lasts less than a day by Sayan Sen Recently we had covered some nice deals of internal NVMe SSDs which include the 4TB TeamGroup G50 for only $400, the WD_BLACK SN7100 2TB for just $243, as well as the Samsung 990 PRO 1TB for $370.

    • I just wish they would put more love into Virtual Desktops. There is just so much more they could do.
    • Sounds like you just skimmed over the review, I answer all those questions in it. Although I admit I did not test if DTS works over the headphones, when I get some time I will test this. My personal use case is more speaker-driven (I cover this in the review too).
