She signed her cheques "Alicia" but we knew her as Jody. I seemed to remember that dream mentioned the movie "Contact" and I saw it on the tv guide and decided to have a look. A distant recollection of that movie being talked about on morning TV came back and the reference was made to the work of Jill Tarter and I got a laugh out of that as a fanciful and kind of like obsession with finding out about the universe. It would be a relatively short obsession before other more practical devices would take over and even the question asked about what the Universe was up to grew with more discoveries and the threats biology would be facing. Personally it was that certain triggers drew my attention to what I must know, for some role I had in the future. I knew about the future too and it seemed as certain as any reality is that I'd be playing my part. The name Carl Sagan too leapt off the page demanding to be looked into. I was thinking that all the information was being accrued but no-one had been able to join the dots correctly. That's where I came in and my bipolar perspective that allowed me to watch what my mind was turning out like watching a movie. I should explain that it was the insufferable boredom of school that made me turn off from reality and I'd slipped into an alter consciousness that was way more interesting. I remember only filling out the first page of my books and the class didn't know how to take me. And I remember one test where I got everything right because it was multiple choice and I was designed for that. I read the thought of the one who wrote the test and even shared their laughs and joy the felt when they scratched their bum. In fact if I read anything at all I immediately got stuck in the authors ways and trifling thoughts whether they were alive or dead, it didn't matter. And objects too, all had a voice. But back to the movie and I stopped it when a poignant moment arrived and it was when"Jill" was all alone with the machine she'd dreamed off and switched in on and just using her laptop hastily exposed her ears to it. She'd had some previous experience with inferior devices but now she was anxious to see what she'd gained. We hear a brief signal that is short and we're reminded of a real event perhaps where that had happened. Once we found out about black holes too, that possibly litter our galaxy and stray to capture other star systems we can imagine a threat that that has a mathematical certainty about it and would involve a world to forget their trifles and indifferences to focus on building an ark that was capable of the escape velocity or weightlessness needed to escape that grasping fiend. We're lucky we didn't meet one ourselves. Only rare and few Solar systems get as far as ours. So it would be a fast paced strive for technological advancement to quickly understand "how things work" and the results from atom smashers would perhaps point the way. Give an understanding of particles that seemed to work freely with the influence of gravity affecting them. So we've already taken the first steps before any threat to us is known about. Of course there are many threats and we have collisions, nearby star explosions that could denude the planet of its atmosphere and threats from within too with apocalyptic scenarios playing out. So taking that further we may ask ourselves what it is or was that made aliens travel here. Something like in excess of two thirds of people believe aliens are here at the moment. Given the immensity of time involved they probably got here in our distant past. Recovered spaceships and hinted at some of them being ancient and some freed from archaic rocks. Oh we also have something fascination to me in that structure shown in the movie like gimbal rings which looks very appropriate when trying to imagine what the mechanism looked like it those balls recorded that were approached and documented. But how do they work? Maybe in such a way that confuses the electo-magnetic or gravitational forces that abound it. But the latest speculation is it must have something to do with time manipulation to allow for that beyond like speed movement. For the crafts inhabitants they do not feel and sort of motion. So getting back to the movie contact, possibly the inhabitants on another world sent out a distress signal asking anyone who could be listening in to help them build their machine. Something that is believable too and where the movie falls down as too far fetched. But didn't ancient Egyptians speculate about a souls interstellar journey. Did aliens educate them about that as well as providing for moving huge pieces of stone? So yes I give the movie a tick even for just providing that poignant moment in that wonderful looking landscape away from distracting EMF's.    Imagine my surprise when I found out that my opinion actually mattered!  |
