Now where is the fun in that? It's like National Geographics. Loved to read the articles, but I HAD TO GO there, to see for myself...
First mission to Mars...sign me up.

I am sure that I am not the first person to wonder if looking at Mars is to look at the future of Earth?
That is, perhaps once Mars had many beings, just like we do on earth, but they either self destroyed, or died through climate changes..?

Say, you know:
When we look towards the center of the universe, the big bang, are we effectively looking into the past? There's still a huge ball of unknown light there, right? Or dark matter, or something that we can't see past. When we do look at it, aren't we looking at the first moment of creation that we can know? If we travel towards it, then, would we effectively be travelling back in time? Scientists say that time changes (slows down) as the travelling speed approaches the speed of light. Don't they?
Anyhoo, maybe--metaphysically speaking, at least--when we are looking at red, barren Mars, we are looking at a future Earth. If there were life on Mars in the past (some scientists believe there is still a lot of water on Mars, buried underground).
Um... I don't think that last sentence was a complete thought. Dang.
Okay I am going to post some poems now.
Science confuses me.

I like this thought train. There is accumulating evidence that 'knowledge' is subject to a weird kind of synchronicity not just for us humans but for other species too. Such as laboratory rats in maze experiments in the United States that were somehow able to convey the maze route to another group in the UK. How?
I think the key to getting your head round it is to remember that on a fundamental level time and space are illusions, however vivid, and that all knowledge has, is and will always exist in a single point. We have ways to sometimes access in a non-linear mode all that was , is or has been. There appear to be a few tools that aid us in this, such as prayer, divination and perhaps some forms of dream.
Do I believe what I just wrote? Well all I will say is that I dont discount it as fantasy but I cant prove it either. But it would explain a lot.
My 2 1/2 cents

By definition, no devices involving anti-gravity effects could be considered to be toys in any sense of the term. Unless, of course, those using the devices were in some way mentally and morally deficient.
Which, for some reason, reminds me of Robin Williams' film titled, Toys.
Hmmmmm...I believe we've hit upon something here 17th.
