what? no Silicon Heaven? smeg!

One of my favorite shows of all time is "Red Dwarf" (BBC, 1988-99, 2009; http://www.reddwarf.co.uk/). In the show, Kryten (one of the main characters, an android) explains that all machines (himself included) would go to Silicon Heaven.

KRYTEN: "He's an android. His brain could not handle the concept of there being no silicon heaven."
LISTER: "So how come yours can?"
KRYTEN: "Because I knew something he didn't."
LISTER: "What?"
KRYTEN: "I knew that I was lying. Seriously, sir. 'No silicon heaven'? Where would all of the calculators go?"

All creation going to Heaven is a beautiful idea and it comes from a comedy. We'll see if this true some day.

cosmos, aliens, nukes -- what a mess!

According to the following article, aliens are spying on us. Now this is funny indeed!

Maybe these aliens want to see if we're stupid enough to blow ourselves to smithereens with nukes. Then again they might be looking after us and might protect us if we screw up.

As I've mentioned before, I believe in aliens (http://project05952381.blogspot.com/2010/05/aliens-monsters-and-other-weird.html). I just can't believe that God could be selfish and only make us in this space-time.

aliens, monsters and other weird creatures -- what if?

Growing up I used to watch lots of science fiction movies and TV shows with aliens, monsters and other weird creatures (lots of black and white "horror" movies, especially with characters like Dracula and Frankenstein). Well I still wonder if there's life elsewhere in the cosmos.

Maybe earth's not the only inhabited chunk of rock in the universe. Maybe there are more of us somewhere else. Maybe, just maybe, we're not his first children, perhaps not even his last. Could this explain the missing link?
