You should set about patenting that law and it could go the way Godwin's Law of Nazi Analogies went. There is no greater honour than creating an internet adage!ColdStorage said:Wow is this true? HAHAH, I actually have an internet law I've told numerous times on here called "Jaded Veteran Website Syndrome", its when frequenters of a site realise its not built precisely for them so they storm off in a huff.stinkychops said:Precisely my thoughts.ColdStorage said:Looks like someone is trying to discredit Wikileaks, I wonder who though?

It could be the so called fragmentation of the sites workbase. I've heard there's been some tension within their ranks and so a group wishes to split.
It could also be any of the numerous people they've pissed off.

Thanks for making my brain hurt, mate.Drake_Dercon said:No, I don't believe this. Of course it's a joke. It's more than likely someone decided they were funny and things may end up going badly for WikiLeaks. Not to say that's a bad thing. The information released (while it is things the public needs to know, at least in some respect) is hugely dangerous. If you undermine WikiLeaks' credibility the information is still out there but it ceases to be a threat. Great epic fail/win whoever made this up.
Now for the unfortunate part...
From a physics perspective, one of the most time-efficient ways to travel is via wormhole. The problem is that a wormhole will still stop time (relative to you) as you hit the event horizon and still crush you down to the size of an atom. The solution: white holes. A black hole is a singularity of normal matter, with normal gravity, etc. A white hole is a singularity of foreign matter. Reverse gravity (at least in application to normal matter). While a black hole sucks in time and space, a white hole spews it out. A white hole placed in the middle of a ship so that its gravitational push affects the entire ship both infinitely and equally (and engaged at exactly the right moment; you wouldn't want to explode, would you?) allows the vessel to pass through a wormhole unscathed. The ship must conform exactly to the shape the of the gravitational push.
The optimal shape: a flying saucer
It would be incredibly thin and look like an empty shell opened up. Nothing alive could fit inside, it would have to use the perfect computer, one that could operate on the molecular level (this is really starting to seem impossible). They would have to use lazer or gravity-based weapons as all mass within the ship must be distributed to precise specifications. I have no clue what the margin of error here is, but it`s likely much smaller than humans can manage. The weapons couldn`t bombard us from space because they would expend too much of the oh-so-precious energy they need to return. It`s more than likely that these are advance probes sent to do some scouting for a much larger fleet that will arrive by more... survivable methods (say, warp travel) within the next couple of hundred millenia. Probably not in your lifetime.

That's really what my reaction to this inevitable space war! depends upon. If the invading species were like the asari, I'd switch sides in a heartbeat. Sorry, humanity, but the blue space babes have spoken. =P

It's nice to see though that almost 54% of you lot will openly welcome our "possible" alien visitors. Now that is true Earth hospitality right there!
I was completely serious with that one. If aliens were to attack us, that is how they'd do it. Thankfully, the most likely cause of the attack would be for resettlement (which, as I said, would not actually happen within our lifetimes, unless those saucers had been dormant for a while). They might not even show up, there are plenty of planets out there without sentient life (though a future threat may be another reason). Even if they did come, we could probably work something out.InnerRebellion said:Thanks for making my brain hurt, mate.Drake_Dercon said:*snip*
First Inception kills my grip on reality, and now this? Christ, am I even awake?

Unidentified Flying Object, I believe is what it stands for..though your point is still quite valid.Blackality said:UFO = Unknown Flying Object
