What if.......our civilization was even more advanced than we could even dream to be in this day and age. Then somewhere back in time our human race made war with each other. I know that sounds crazy....we all know we dont war with each other, but what if they did.

So this highly advanced human race, with weapons that make our weapons look like pea shooters decide to use them against each other. The weapons destroy nearly everything on earth...in which only a few people survived. Now these people would still have the knowledge, but not the means or man power to put everything back together again. So they de-civilize back down to the tribal mentality that we all know so well.

Think about the lost civilizations in south america, and look at how we still dont a whole lot about them, or know where all of there cities are. Or even that much past the sumarians, which were starting to get together finally after who knows how long. Even the great pyramids are shrouded in mysteries because we know they are there, but how did they move those massive stones, or drill holes that our scientists today say that they were drilled with drills that turned at least 500 times faster than the fastest drills we have today.

Maybe we were at one time very advanced, and then we pulled the trigger and poof! Everything as they knew it was gone, and they did what ever it took to survive. As time went by the generations of kids lost the tech, and the nolgy. Just something to ponder.

If they figure out time travel I will be taking tours back to 50,000 bc so we can see what happened LOL.

exactly Allen look at the so called dark ages, in Europe, meanwhile the Muslims, they new of the stars the medical knowledge they had was still 1000 years ahead of egotistical people who think that knowledge is something new to the 20th century. Archimedes makes me wonder if he hadn't found some access to this knowledge from possibly even more ancient cultures, or the guy was unbelievable, the intellect he held was outstanding. I have a strong feeling we have forgotten more than we will ever know, I did see a show that took tree core samples and came to the conclusion that drought was the reason for the failure of the ancient natives of south america, famine disease and all things that follow in line with droughts, all I know is my bday is dec 23 and in 2012 we are celebrating it on the 20th

i sure hope the mayans are wrong to think i will be two days short of being able to be an AARP member

hey any one want to tackle anti matter for us lol

The Mayans predicted great change in 2012 ...it's a cycle. The Mayan calendar, I read, has ended before. Nowhere do they predict the end of the world...just great change. I could use some great change. All I gots is a quarter. LOL

Also, that would be my 33rd anniversary and the world ain't ending on my anniversary...

Anti-matter....gees. The Geezer once explained that to me...and the anti-matter bottle that had been created to contain antimatter. Thing is, I understand the bottle better than the contents. Sheesh.

Antimatter! OMG LOL now we are cookin!!!

That is something most people are familiar with if they ever watched saturday morning cartoons. The only problem with the cartoons is it seems like it is easy to use, get, or destroy stuff with LOL.

Some things most people dont know about antimatter was discovered by CERN. Busy little company

I was gonna type up this big explanation, but discovered I was typin in circles just tryin to make my point hahahaha! So im gonna cut and paste some of what I was going to try and explain.

I hope this is not too technical, I tried to find the least technical of all the stuff, but this is basically what I wanted to try and explain.

Just imagine if you had a full gram of this stuff....you would be the richest in the galaxy!! LOL

Predictions and the end of the world have always intrigued me. As I was sitting here contemplating the universe and antimatter, and I O's. I remembered a thing that I believe was called the "black box". If I recall right this scientist created this box that used random event generators. At first he wanted to see if ordinary people off the street could influence the box by using their minds to either cause it to generate a one or a zero.

Amazingly every person he selected off the street could influence the random event generator. He then made some more of these black boxes and put them around the world, then connected them all together via the internet.

Some of the things this box generated was absolutely amazing to me. World wide on certain special days these boxes would go crazy. They seemed to start going wild before major world wide events like 911, major earthquakes, and even Princess Di's death.

I am not sure if this thing is still hooked up, but what they found was astounding! What it shows I think is that everyone is connected with some kind of global conscience, but it is subconscious LOL.

Man the possibilities would be endless if everyone could tap into this conscientiousness. We would possibly be able to see into the future to see if there is anything to these end of world predictions. I will be interested to see what this black box does on Frank's birthday, that is if we are still here LOL.

I remember hearing about this black box after 9/11, very interesting, you know they say we only use ten percent of our brain what if we actually use more of it?

yeah this Mayan thing gnaws at me a bit the sun will be in middle of our galaxy, the polar cap shift is also due, I dont know, shall just wait and see, maybe have a bottle of Tequila ready

Melding minds with computers! Now that is serious geek tawk!!

my brain will not be able to process a lot of these today...LOL

but tomorrow, is another day!

however, I have heard of that black box also...but glad you've brought more info, now I will have to look that up!

The Mayan Calendar is interesting and I am keeping an open mind about it although I am more like 80/20 on it...80 (skeptical, LOL)

however, if it is true, let's have a big party and just party until that major change or end of the world, whatever it may be...LOLOL, if the world doesn't end? We can at least have the fun celebrating Frank's AARP card day..

duckster, I so wished that I had a chance to meet him...would've loved to meet pick his brain...*sigh...

now, as for anti-matter...that is beyond me...but from what I've read, isn't that like "quark" splitting??

Wow, 100 quadrillion dollars....

gonna have to read up more on it when my brain isn't so jello-y...

btw, anyone here ever read up on Nikola Tesla??

dude, you find the coolest stuff!

I will have to read that tomorrow

but looks like they used Professor X from the X-men...LOLOL

isnt this what the CIA was using LSD for in the early to mid sixties, to be able to use the mind in ways like this
