Predictions

Lets see if we have any real Prophets on Hypography. Is any one willing to make a prediction as to what will happen in the next year, five years, 10, 25, 50 , 100? I'll start with mine

1 year
A truly Earth like world orbiting another star will be found.

5 years
An alien civilization will be detected orbiting another star.

10 years
Life on Mars will be confirmed

20 years
I new method of space propulsion connected to Heim theory will be discovered/perfected
50 years
first permanent orbiting space colony will be occupied

100 years
A practical method of FTL travel will be discovered. But no complex life other the Earth's will be discovered in the solar system.

Re: Predictions

I agree with your predictions Moontanman, but have one to add
within the next 5 years, our economy will fall into another Depression
History often times repeats itself
as far as your comments William, I wish i had a dollar for every time a "prophet" was announced to come in the past hundred years- i could save the economy

Re: Predictions

hi William, I think you missed my joke. Every age has a hailed prophet of some sort, depending on their beliefs. You could be a prophet under the Royal Religion of Honey for all I know, and I just a drone. I think it wise not to get caught up in all the hype of prophets and predictions, too many religious sects have gone to their untimely graves based upon such ideas. We are here and now, and some of us may have seen a tear in the fabric, but today is all we have. I cannot predict whether i will live or die tomorrow, but i will certainly make my today worthwhile

Re: Predictions

I predict that by the year 2013, humans will be rid of yet one more superstitious notion that failed to materialize.

When was the last time you heard of people giving up a superstitious notion just because it failed?

Y2K.

Of course, it could be argued that some of those folks just conveniently pushed the date back to 2012.

Any predictions on the next push back date?

Maybe if I kiss Hanks butt he will let me in on the no kidding true date?
