Dey could be cruising by in derr spaceships and pick it up on da long range scannerz man. If alienz is anything like us, dey love road trips.

Then they could laugh in amusement as they vaporized our planet.

Friction can't be totally discounted when considering the expansion of our tools.

At any rate, the rate of expansion of the universe is increasing with age, which I've read has to do with dark matter.

The rate of expansion of our tools decreases with age and increased friction can only temporarily keep them up and effective.......and that is a dark matter.

Dark ENERGY. Dark Energy is increasing the expansion of the Universe, Dark Matter would decreasing the expansion. They're two very different things (one is asteroids and dust and bacteria, while the other is anti-gravity).

If Star Trek has taught me anything, it's that alien chicks are horny and like to make it with Earth dudes... I think it was Shatner's Third Law. I say, bring 'em on!

Oosp! That was a typo (I often get subliminally distracted by the gravitas of dark matter).

But I think you'll agree that, regarding our tools, decreasing energy is directly related to their slowing rate of expansion, even in the face of increased friction - a dark matter.

I'm a scientist. We don't think of such things.

I used to think that, but like I said, I remember nothing about my abductions, but, since the first one, for some reason I think of them as thorny, not horny - not good.

You get disconcerted with my lack of grammar, spelling and punctuation...Ha..I CAN NOT EVEN READ MY OWN HANDWRITING....you think Md's write fast and illegibly....

My poor little fingers can not keep up with the speed of my thought process. If I can not get it down on the first pass, it gets lost...almost all of the things I write are first draft, with virtually no editing. & I know you can tell....

HAHAHA! I'm picturing your poor little fingers bumbling along trying to keep up with your warped (speed, that is ) mind. You never disconcert me Tabs; that would be no fun at all! You're gust a grouchy ole conservative, wallowing in defeat.

Yup, I can tell almost all your things are first drafts. I also suspect that mebbe more than a few beer draughts precede some of your first drafts.

I'm a bit old fashioned. Mother taught me that people's judgment of the quality of what one says may be colored by the care one takes when saying it. Mebbe try some of that binko bluwatza or whatever they call it to help keep you from getting lost while getting lost in your thoughts?

And you COULD avale yourself of the spel chekker!

Could be, but with 10^21 stars in the universe, its only a one in a 10,000 million million million chance they happen by our neck of the woods . . .
