Spooky coincidences.

Spooky coincidences.
As many of you know the most earthlike planet ever discovered was recently found orbiting the star Gliese 581. The name of this planet is Gliese 581g.

This planet orbits it's star at a distance of 0.146AU (The earth is 1 AU from the sun), is about 3 times the size of earth (spatially) and is believed to be of a similar composition. Since the star Gliese is much smaller and less bright that our sun the planet falls into that star's Goldilocks zone despite being nearly 10 times closer to the star, meaning it is within the temperature range suitable for a liquid ocean, amongst other things.

In 2008, Ragbir Bhathal, a member of the SETI institute and australian astronomer, picked up what appeared to be a non-random laser pulse originating outwards from the planet Gliese 581e, a planet that is of a similar distance from the newly discovered Gliese 581g as Earth is to Mars.

"Just about a year ago Ragbir Bhathal was scanning the night sky for alien activity, just as he does every night. Except on this December eve Ragbir Bhathal found a strong, regular, repeating signal. Unless the whole thing stemmed from a huge glitch occurring simultaneously in all his million-dollar lab equipment, there stands a strong chance that Ragbir found a message sent by some intelligent, alien race."

From a later report:

"Although Gliese 581e is too close to its host sun to support life, it's the first planet believed to be rocky like our own, a kind of super-hot Earth quite unlike the long line of gas and ice giants discovered to date.

With the launch of NASA's Kepler space telescope in March, specifically designed to detect smaller Earth-like planets, astronomers are confident that the discovery of a blue planet, orbiting in the so-called Goldilocks zone"

This was exactly the planet they were looking for, but they didn't need Keplar to find it.

The prediction that sparked investigation into that region of space and said there should be a golidlocks planet, was right... This is getting both weird and exciting.

And if that wasn't strange enough... There have been rumours this week of the UN appointing a space ambassador.

Undescribably cool Smile

It would be awesome to find out there are others outthere, capable of thinking, perhaps just as amazed at it as we are. Still, lets wait for the evidence, fire up arecibo and send its usual message Wink

Nice catch void Big Grin

Where's AngelTheMan? I wonder how he will take this new discovery?

Would be lovely to find sentient beings wouldn't it. If they happen to be behind us in advancement then we could just observe how they develop as we have. If they happen to be more advanced, they'll have something to teach us.

Would be interesting to see what religious beliefs they have or use to have.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.

Is that were you've been? No wonder you're so bitter Tongue

When you start substantiating your claims i'll giving you dignified responses. Until then your bare assertions and smug remarks are just going to be met by more of the same.

I could die a happy man if it is true, although lasers do occur in nature.

Yep, but they rarely resemble anything uniform, and have never yet been seen around the area of a golidlocks planet.
