Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Nothing can travel faster than Light! .... And, if you travel at the speed of light, it will take 2.9 million years to reach our sister galaxy – our closest large galaxy - Andromeda! [and, there are billions of these galaxies in the 'known' universe! And, the 'known' universe is believed to be about 10% of the total universe! ] What does that say about... inter- galactic travel? What does it say about... getting to know your 'neighbors'? .... With respect to the human minds too... In spite of the long standing desires and many years of research... we still have no real way of directly knowing other's thoughts, dreams, emotions, experiences or feeling! In spite of using all sophisticated brain equipment, all we can pick up is some 'electronic signal' but, have no real way of translating them into the images, visuals that the dreams of person the person involved has! Same goes for thoughts, feelings and emotions! All we can really get is... what they say... and, what they say is sometimes poorly translated [by them... when attempting to translate feelings in words], poorly understood as well as poorly interpreted [by us... when attempting to translate words into feelings]! Further, the words are also subject to frequent manipulations, deceit, cheating and lies... as demonstrated by politicians, marketers, salesmen, brokers as well by... other 'egos' interested in being seen/heard/imagined /thought certain way!

Not sure what you were trying to get at here.... " Silver " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
