AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the speculation surrounding the existence of extraterrestrials and the relationship between quantum theory and this speculation. It challenges the notion that quantum mechanics necessitates the visibility of all entities, arguing that the existence of life does not depend on being observed. The conversation also questions the necessity of aliens, suggesting that the presence of life on an alien planet does not alter the fundamental dynamics of existence. The metaphor of "dragons in the uncharted sea of space" is used to illustrate the allure of the unknown in space exploration.

This is not a serious post; I was wondering why there must be so much speculation over extraterrestrials exist or not, while they had proposed with the quantum theory on the "existence of the scrutinized" so everything MUST be seen at all times, which is only possible if life exists alongside matter, and ubiquitous.

QM does not say that everything must be seen.

Even if it did, why would aliens be necessary? I see you. You see me.
If one of us is on an alien planet that changes nothing.
 
Because in the uncharted sea of space there must be dragons.

Thread 'In the early days of electricity, they didn't have wall plugs'

Hello scientists, engineers, etc. I have not had any questions for you recently, so have not participated here. I was scanning some material and ran across these 2 ads. I had posted them at another forum, and I thought you may be interested in them as well. History is fascinating stuff! Some houses may have had plugs, but many homes just screwed the appliance into the light socket overhead. Does anyone know when electric wall plugs were in widespread use? 1906 ad DDTJRAC Even big...
