We believe our current technology is the be all/end all. Fact is future people will make advances that will make us look like the Rome/airliner you allude to. Can you just imagine the look on the face of a person in 1900 if you explained neutrinos to them? We are stuck in believing the laws of physics are complete and infallible. This will change.
Hellz bellz, they might just discover faults in the computer model concerning global warming. Just think, they may just go back to an impending ice age prediction.
I agree 100%.

I think that there is one, far below all the dust on Mars. But, I was also told that there could not be one because Mars has a cold core. I still think I could be right.

Us trying to understand what possible intelligent life there is out in the universe, albeit fun to pass the time but would be akin to a fish trying to understand what an escalator is.

Good analogy.

Just for funzies, can you list your curriculum vitae?

All these theories about new energy and new elements are too hand wavy. There arent any more types.
The universe must only work woth what it has.
You have a good idea, but it's not grounded in science.

How can you be so sure? Would a Roman warrior in a chariot have ever believed that one day there would be tanks ... with the technology that ours have this very day?

"Science" is constantly changing. Much has already changed since my days at the old Dutchtown High School.

All the science you had in your post deals with science-described natural world that we have an entire framework o understanding built on. And when you think about it that way then your analogies break down really really fast.
A Roman warrior would most assuredly know what a siege weapon is because they used them. A tank is a spruced up siege weapon. It's not like something entirely new was invented.
List the changes that have occurred since high school and I will tell you how science hasn't changed.

(And therein lies your problem. You believe our entire understanding is complete. That's what they thought back around 1900 when it was believed all had been discovered and invented. We now know it is constantly changing.)

(So you are saying that he would see a steel vehicle on tracks moving along at 60 mph and just say ho hum, just another seige weapon. Nothing to see here. Move along, move along.)

(You are kidding, right? Lightening goes cloud to cloud, cloud to ground, ground to cloud vs just cloud to ground. Ice age vs global warming. Discovered neutrinos. Etc.
I put science in parenthesis to indicate the changes in learning about what constitutes "science". Nothing in our environment and perhaps the universe has changed but what constitutes "science" for us changes with every discovery. That would be my point. We are still making discoveries some of which results in changes to what is taught in "science". All has not been discovered yet. We don't know what we don't know.
Therefore it is too early to declare there are no more types.
Hell, they are still waffling on whether there is/was life on Mars.

Do you even know just how close in size your brain is to your smaller username cousin's?
If you have a point to discuss just jump in. Otherwise I have to just write off your personal attacks as ignorance.

I've long believed that any spacefaring race will have to be intelligent machines. Space is just too hostile an environment for biologics.
In addition to that, machines that are small enough to still be useful can be much more easily accelerated to the kinds of velocities interstellar travel requires.
Yep. AI's biggest contribution will be deep space travel too risky/costly for humans.

You should read/follow David Wilcock and Corey Goode. There is much information out there already on the varying densities of the known alien civilizations.

That would back up the creation theory to some extent.
