If there are aliens, what will they look like?

You've been making mistakes. When you going to own up to it boss?

So how does your boy Felix land close to his launch point if the earth is rotating faster than the speed of sound?

We already told you. You keep spewing the same nonsense repeatedly.

Line of sight radio waves are another example with the obvious need for tall antennas...

We? You find one mistake I made in your fictional universe (west to east) and that's all you got?

Really. I want you to think about what you just asked.

The speed of anything is only relevant between two objects.
I'm sure you've witnessed the doppler effect of a train horn sometime in your life.
The speed of the soundwaves leave the horn at a fixed speed.
Then you have to add the speed of the train to the speed of the horn sound waves.
If the train is speeding towards you, the sound waves are coming at you faster than they are as the train goes away from you.
That's why the sound shifts as it goes by.

Felix's speed and the earth's surface speed are relevant to each other. If the earth's surface speed was zero, as you think, or if the earth's surface speed is about 1000mph at the equator as the rest of the world believes, the effects would be exactly the same.

We've already proven this concept to you in the example of jumping inside of a moving vehicle.

You know all of these examples can be observed and performed by yourself.

Something that makes you go.....hmmmmmm

I've had numerous large fires in the backyard from trees piled up clearing land. In the summer there is definitely a shadow from the flames blocking the sunlight.

If everyone quits replying to this troll, he'll go away, otherwise he'll just keep spewing nonsense ad infinitum. Please stop feeding the troll.

Back on the original subject of the thread, has anyone considered that an alien's skin coloring, or whatever covers the outside of their bodies, would most likely depend on the color and intensity of their home planet's star where they evolved, i.e. a red dwarf.

Finally acknowledges a flaw. I see the ice (wall) cracking.

Some interesting reading on that....

Thanks Moss,
The link.prompted me.to take a quick of The Sir Francis Drake TV show from the early sixties. A couple of episodes showed a ship with not one but two crows nests, that hadn't been invented yet. So much for historical accuracy.

My dad built us a fort on top of a very tall tree stump when we were kids. We called it The Crow's Nest.

When he passed away, we went in the back yard and the thing was maybe 3' off the ground.

Many good times in the back yard.

Marconi's radio waves didn't go straight across a flat Atlantic Ocean.
