What do you do? If anything…

P.S. My local, elite coin store pukes at U.S. Mint Proof coins. Pays spot for them.

Lizard people. Well lizards have regeneration capabilities. Whether they evolve to live forever is something else. Most probable is aliens are robots or androids. Most of the galaxy we see is already dead. Light just reaching us from galaxies long gone. What I wonder is, how does light from big bang reach us? How did all these planets and stars traverse the universe, suddenly coalesce from dust and gas into planets and stars then cluster into galaxies and suddenly are doused in light from big bang. If everything came from singularity. Light would pass outward. Even with massive explosion, none of the elements would outrun light. Even if the explosion lasted 50 billion years until all the oxygen and fuel have dried up, matter would not be close to reaching the limits of the first light. But they claim universe is only 15 billion years old. Earth is roughly 5 billion. Which is cool, but the galaxies we see are well beyond how fast light would travel. In other words, we see those galaxies due to the light, but it is so far away that traveling Even at speed of sound would take more than several billion years to reach those far off galaxies. Not to mention sun’s that are million of times bigger than our own. It just doesn’t add up. And good chance these goldilock planets we see will be gone or barren by the time we get there.

Now if a civilization formed soon after and had time to fight and evolve and find peace and seed planets etc and create worm drives and fast as light travel then maybe we see them. But unless you know exact trajectories and distance it’d be almost impossible to teleport. My guess is any aliens we may see are from our own solar system. Perhaps dark side of the moon, underwater, on Jupiter’s moons. Definitely extremaphiles. But no telling what we don’t know. Years ago we had no periodic table of elements, then they added a few, and a few more and it stayed a certain number for a while then a few more. And I think 4 more added in last 5 years. I think 119 or 121. But there could be a galaxy with 4,000 in it. Untold properties. Would totally change laws of physics. But considering we can’t make trains that don’t derail, or planes that crash, or GPS that works well always, I doubt we conquer the universe.

I hope we land on Mars and when they build the first habitat they discover a billboard that says last hope for survival, get your ticket for last chance to win a seat on the final ship heading to earth. Men are from Mars and women Venus. Earth makes sense as a good meeting place for first date. But I don’t see living organisms living long enough to travel other star systems. It took 40 years for a probe to finally travel half of our solar system to enter and penitrate the ort cloud. And we decay quickly in space. Lose muscle mass, coloring, body reacts different. All those mutinies and at sea overthrowing and that after trying to cross Atlantic in a few months. I don’t see humanity getting along long enough to last on a ship for thousands of years, even if we are able to constantly impact our minds into new tech to keep our “soul” alive. Plus solar flares, gamma rays, neutron explosions. Million mile per hour winds or more hitting a small craft.

But what we do know us history shows us nature is violent. Predators and prey. And killing means survival. At first they may assimilate and join us. Until they learn more and more of their kind arrive. Then they’ll overthrown us. And enslave us.

Seems funny all those ancient pyramids built have gods in them. None of the gods shown working. So my guess is they enslaved first man and then suddenly man realized they had the numbers and wiped them out. And that’s why no modern pyramids. Buildings and monuments much smaller. No longer pics of ananaki or helmet people, or lizard or anubis, thoth, coaxacotyl, star people. And then a couple thousand years later, suddenly Jesus is the big thing. But Shiva and Buddha don’t get new temples, or grand scale ones anyway. Or perhaps aliens figured we were too dumb and abandoned us.

Thanks for painting that image in my head Seth!

“Multiple light years?”, more like thousands of light years distance between stars in our galaxy. But I think you already know that. Can you imagine the cost to fund the technology needed to get to another solar system with our unionized workforce. We’re just about bankrupt and we haven’t set foot on Mars yet. The good news is, Kaiser, we don’t need space travel to reach another galaxy. The Andromeda galaxy is on a collision course with our Milky Way galaxy….all we need to do is wait another 5 billion years. The bad news is our sun probably will have burnt thru all its hydrogen and gone “red giant”, so we’ll be long gone. Can you imagine the night sky as Andromeda gets within a few thousand light years. It’s a shame we won’t be around to see that!

Kaiser,
Now if they put a “c” privy mark on it to represent Congratulations Set then I’d pay a hefty premium for it. Are you listening Mint?

D & C,

To impress and educate someone decades my elder is an honor. To show perspective and open dialog is invaluable. And maybe it Kickstarts utopia. You may not always agree with results but results are results. Life isn’t binary. Zeroes and ones. There is a middle and a neutral. On off and balanced. Which makes sense since 3 is holy. The holy trinity, completing trifectas, prime and trinomials. Father son holy spirit/ ghost or whatever. Birth death and second coming. Triangle strong. Pyramid. You get the idea.

Whether or not you live long enough to harvest great profit, that’s the real question. But low, sell high. But always count on egos that want differentiation. Buy early and buy often. It all comes out in the wash

If a grand kid found it at funeral and sold it to pawn shop (congrats set) but without the papers to show it as such, if sent for grading it’d be considered a standard ase. Nothing at all to differentiate it. Again, just gift wrapped versions. Always gift metals. Whether coin or bars or teef or jewelry art or whatever. Metals will always have a following
