So the NSA released a bunch of classified documents about extra terrestrials. This one seems particularly interesting.

Is this legit?

Mother FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

ITT: You realize that the difference between rotating black holes and static black holes is that one of them is currently being used as a medium for data storage.

So, have there been any updates from this guy after he apparently detected an ET laser-pulse signal?

The last I heard, he was still working on solid confirmation, and that he mentioned the signal came from somewhere in in the Tucana constellation. That part kind of sucks, because the constellation can only be observed from the southern hemisphere, and Mr. Bhathal is currently the only active SETI researcher located in that part of the world.

I guess I might just be jumping at shadows here, but it's hard not to feel at least a LITTLE excited knowing that the most important question in human history might have an answer soon.

How cataclysmic will the collision of adromeda and the milky way be for theoretical life in either galaxy? I understand that it's completely unlikely for stars to actually physically collide, but what about the enormous changes in gravity? Wouldn't at least a few of them get flung into dead space?

How will aliens react to 4chan, /sci/?

SO. The kepler mission just returned data describing almost 700 mother fucking exo-planets, most of which were about the size of earth. In 2014 we should have a telescope powerful enough to make spectrometric measurements and allows us to potentially glimpse another earthlike planet for the first time in history.

Who's excited?

Alright, so let's face it; 4chan is clearly one of the stupidest places on the internet. I don't think I've ever seen a survey thread with a person older than 22 responding. It seems almost as if this very imageboard is a cross section of our international youth, which unfortunately probably means that this will prove to be one of the worst generations since the Baby Boomers.

Is the world fucked? Probably, and it's your fault.
