What is it? Are we being watched by another race? Is there an asteroid heading for us? Are the Shivans actually real (Holy ****...that would scare me)

I say it's a quark star they've discovered.

[haloboy100]

I say it's clearly seen evidence of dark matter (so yeah, a quark star) or a black hole.

I can't wait to hear this

EDIT: look what I found:

Quark stars and strange stars are largely theoretical at this point, but observations released by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory on April 10, 2002 detected two candidates, designated RX J1856.5-3754 and 3C58, which had previously been thought to be neutron stars. Based on the known laws of physics, the former appeared much smaller and the latter much colder than it should be, suggesting that they are composed of material denser than neutron-degenerate matter. However, these observations have been under attack by researchers who say the results were not conclusive; it remains to be seen how the question of quark star or strange star existence will play out. Recently a third star, XTE J1739-285, [3] has been observed by a team led by Philip Kaaret of the University of Iowa, and also reported as a possible candidate.

So I bet Ghostavo is right!

Okay, imagine for a second if this turns out to be highly suggestive evidence of intelligent life. Just imagine it. It's not going to be, sure. I mean, it can't be, that'd b e too damn awesome. But just imagine the course of events if NASA came out with evidence towards the existence of intelligent life out there.

Woah.

[haloboy100]

I know.

They could tell us how to solve global warming XD

[Hellstryker]

If there is inteligent life thats taken to the stars it's LIFAO (Laughing its ****ing ass off) at us

Evidence != Communication

QFT

[Ford Prefect]

They're probably just doing this so we'll look through their telescope and come away with black rings around our eyes.

[haloboy100]

Lols

[AlphaOne]

Perhaps they just wanna tell us they found some new boob shaped asteroid or someting.....! Dont really trust what NASA or ESA or any other space agency has to say cuz to me they are all controled by someone else preventing us from learning the universal truth.

[haloboy100]

Area 51 anybody?

[colecampbell666]

I think it's a penis shaped constellation.

Whats QFT mean?

Quoted For Truth.

Or Quite ****ing True

[haloboy100]

I use it for both

Back on topic, it must be important if they're waiting a week to announce it.

[Dark Hunter]

Nah, that just means they wanted to get word out so that more people will be tuning in to see what they're talking about.

In other words: they want some publicity.

I'm preparing to be underwhelmed. Usually announcements like this are not nearly as big as you expect them to be.

Or Quite ****ing True

I think I was the one who said it was "Quite Effing True" because I didn't know what it actually stood for.

[AlphaOne]

Perhaps its about that asteroid that is suposedly passing by us in a few years. Perhaps they found out its not passing by but hitting us. If that is the case then i better get out some mortgages on my house about 2000 of them they can just bring me to court when im dead
