If star Trek were a reality.....

Could we communucate with and/or meet aliens? I think most accept that the existence of aliens is statistically almost certain and that similarly, with current technology and understanding of physics, that any form of communucation is unlikely if not impossible. Now let's say we had warp 10 travel and comms and subspace etc etc, would we then be able to contact/communicate with aliens. Baring in mind at Warp 10 it would still take a month to get to the closest star. Naomi, your stage is set!

As women, I'm sure you'll forgive naomi our scepticism when confronted by a bloke talking about the size of things, geezer ?

As women, I'm sure you'll forgive naomi *and me our scepticism when confronted by a bloke talking about the size of things, geezer ?

[naomi24]

Ha ha! Yes, indeed!

[R1Geezer]

yes I'll forgive it twice!

[jackthehat]

Revised it the second time..............

[ChuckFickens]

How about quantum entanglement?

[naomi24]

Still heard it all before though. ;o)

[naomi24]

Sorry Chuck, that wasn't to you. Good question.

[naomi24]

Geezer? Your thoughts?

[bibblebub]

if star trek were a reality then you'd try to avoid wearing a red shirt

[R1Geezer]

Stargates, if you could get them working as in the TV show have promise, but you need a seeding ship and that would have to reach warp 100 to have any chance, not impossible. Get in your shed and start inventing naomi!

[naomi24]

Aha! Positive thinking from you at last Geezer! We have lift off! :o)

"if star Trek were a reality.....Could we communucate with and/or meet aliens?"

The answer's in the question ... of course we could, it'd be a reality.

[naomi24]

Naz, precisely.

[woofgang]

but part of star trek technology was the universal communicator...so yes we could
