Random ramblings from an amateur rock-n-roll historian and critic,self-professed bourbon aficionado, blackberry growin', jam makin', sometime tie-die shirt makin', ex hippie wannabe, turned punk rock lovein', blues festival going, middle aged pudgy bald white guy who loves to wear Hawaiian shirts in the summertime and happens to be more Stax than Motown, more Alman Brothers than Skynard, more Stones than Beatles, more NASCAR than Baseball, more freeware than license keys...
"Even though Voyager 1 travels about a million miles per day, the spacecraft will take about 300 years to reach the inner boundary of the Oort Cloud and probably another 30,000 years to exit the far side.
Thats 30,300 years
at a million miles a day
to get through something that is
thought to be:
"a giant spherical shell
surrounding our solar system.
It is like a big,
thick-walled bubble
made of icy pieces
of space debris
the sizes of mountains
and sometimes larger.
The Oort Cloud might contain billions,
or even trillions, of objects.
Icy debris.
Last time I checked
ice was frozen water.
Genesis 1:7-8
7 And God made the firmament,
and divided the waters
which were under the firmament
from the waters
which were above the firmament:
and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament Heaven.
And the evening and the morning were the second day.
You people
(Cosmologist etc)
don't have any idea what your
really looking at.
You really don't.
Something that thick?
With that much ice?
And we are 99.9999999999999%
eclectic and magnetic energy.
This
(Highest resolution picture of an atom to date.)
Yet we look like this:
But you guys and gals know for a fact
what your seeing is indeed
what it looks like and appears to be?
WE ARENT.
So what makes you think anything
you're seeing "in space"
is any different?
Susskind said, "The three-dimensional world of ordinary experience—the universe filled with galaxies, stars, planets, houses, boulders, and people—is a hologram, an image of reality coded on a distant two-dimensional surface."
Besides a Bot commented:
"finally someone speaking truth
about the Oort Cloud theory.
I thought I was all alone out here."
Forget finding life somewhere else
just find me another Oort cloud somewhere.
Why do you think
they aren't even looking for one?
My educated guess would be:
Because they already know
there is not another one any where!
Another image
of what it might work like:
Isaiah 28:10-13
For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept;
line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
11 For with stammering lips
and another tongue will he speak to this people.
12 To whom he said,
This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest;
and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

"Never trust a rock-n-roll band that can't play at least five Chuck Berry songs."

"she's not drunk, she's just mean!"
"swampadelic!!!"
"We self medicate the depression that is a direct result of the obsessive compulsiveness"

"Your curse is my blessing"
