X-Message-Number: 17832 From: "John de Rivaz" <> References: <> Subject: Re: Crop circles Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2001 11:42:03 -0000 There are some extremely clever people out there who can make all sorts of sophisticated crop pictures, and a slightly randomised version of the Arecibo intergalactic broadcast is an ideal subject for a hoax. In science one has to consider explanations for an event in the order of likelihood, and only dismiss the more likely explanations if they can be refuted by factual anomalies. Regretful though it may seem, a hoax is far more likely than an intergalactic transmission sent using a crop field as a receiver. -- Sincerely, John de Rivaz: http://www.deRivaz.com my homepage links to Longevity Report, Fractal Report, music, Inventors' report, an autobio and various other projects: http://www.geocities.com/longevityrpt http://www.autopsychoice.com - http://www.cryonics-europe.org - http://www.porthtowan.com Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=17832
