There's the possibility that there are other humanoids within the Milky Way. However, they may not have the capability to transmit their greetings to us or the rest of the galaxy. Or, they may be transmitting through other mediums besides radio waves to communicate--such as through telepathy. If the universe is based on consciousness, then it is possible for sentient beings to communicate through consciousness instantaneously throughout the entire universe. Hmm, I'm a sentient being and I cannot communicate instantaneously with anyone - let alone across the universe - and I have never received telepathic communication either from my fellow humans or from aliens. And to the best of my knowledge neither has anybody else. From this we can conclude a few things. Either we humans cannot send or receive intergalactic telepathic messages for some reason, or there is no one sending them. The third option - and the one I will put money on - is that telepathy is impossible anyway and we therefore cannot use it as evidence either for or against alien life. Consciousness can be considered as the data bits that create the virtual reality that we live in, and that enable conscious beings to access the entire cosmic data bank--the unified field in TMO speak. These are not my ideas, but are from Tom Campbell, an author of a book that attempts to unify the ideas of philosophy and science, particularly physics. I've watched a few of his physics clips on youtube and he has a solid grasp of the subject - as you would hope given his background - the trouble is he goes leaping off into unfounded fantasies and wild extrapolations without offering any evidence other than that he thinks it's possible, and then only according to the way he interprets things. As I outline above there is a serious problem with the idea of transgalactic telepathy. He is also a standard bearer for remote viewing which is another mysterious claim that has no convincing evidence. Both things would be easy to prove so why doesn't he? Theorise then test. That's the way it works. I suppose you could say that channellers are receiving instantaneous messages from aliens but they lack all credibility. It all boils down to their being no action at a distance, if there was a way round it we would be able to exploit it here and wouldn't need to wait for aliens to talk to us. Do you agree? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : Another theory about the Fermi paradox; if we aren't alone in the universe where the hell is everybody?
