Actually there is quite a bit of inaccuracies here. For starters there are several things that travel faster than the speed of light, quantum events and radio pulses from a pulsar for instance. There are entire galaxies moving away from us at the speed of light. WE are moving through the galaxy at close to the speed of light right now.

Oh one more thing, if you believe in the bending of the space time continuum then of course aliens are here walking around us...LOL :winkwink:

On that note, there is NOTHING to believe. It is fact... black holes do exactly that. Not only does their mass defeat the speed of light, they DO warp space time.

"There are some hundred billion galaxies, each with, on the average, a hundred billion stars, 1011 x 1011 = 1022, ten billion trillion. In the face of such overpowering numbers, what is the likelihood that only one ordinary star, the Sun, is accompanied by an inhabited planet?

Why should we, tucked away in some forgotten corner of the Cosmos, be so fortunate? To me, it seems far more likely that the universe is brimming over with life. But we humans do not yet know. We are just beginning our explorations.

From eight billion light-years away we are hard pressed to find even the cluster in which our Milky Way Galaxy is embedded, much less the Sun or the Earth. The only planet we are sure is inhabited is a tiny speck of rock and metal, shining feebly by reflected sunlight, and at this distance utterly lost."
