Quite a while ago I read to my nephew a book about a group of teenagers who travel back in time 65 million years and discover, along with the dinosaurs two groups of aliens who have colonized Earth. The two groups are fighting each other for control of the planet. At the end of the story the losing group turns a comet so it will collide with Earth destroying it's biosphere. The "winning" group can do nothing to save the planet and decide to evacuate and the teenagers barely get back to their own time before the impact, skipping all the bad days that followed that event.
I know this was just a story, but Earth has been capable of supporting human life (or something very much like it) for at least 500 million years. Though some of this time might not be what we would call "fun", such as dragon flies with a six foot wing span, along with other nasty bugs of that size (like mosquitoes (insects) the size of the great WWII British fighters of the same name) or predictors like T-Rex. Any of these creatures could be lived with given the proper technology.
Given the sparseness of the fossil record, is it possible our planet was home to thousands or even millions or billions of intelligent aliens in the past?
If humans became extinct tomorrow, what evidence of our time here would still exist in 65 million years? I know there would be some stuff on the moon, but what about satellites? Would ANY still be in orbit after all that time? What about our garbage? Would anything be left that a future race could say "Here is PROOF that this planet had somebody here long ago"?
Speaking of the moon. What will the Apollo landing sights look like in 10s of millions of years?
65 million years is a very very long time.
That sounds like an amazing book!! Pls can I have the title??? please??
This book came from 1 of 54 titles. Part of the Animorphs. Sorry can't remember which title. It was over 10 years ago.
From what I remember the book wasn't that great. You might like it if you're 8.

Do you mean something in addition to musical notation? Music is written both for accompaniment and also for singing, and in the same notation. If you get music for choirs to sing (for example) each part (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, Bass) is notated appropriately. The composer can use whatever he chooses to annotate these parts though there is always room for interpretation. I don't think there is anything specificly different for singing compared with any other music. Really modern musical notation is built on more ancient notations developed by monks for plainsong etc. so was primarily invented for voice rather than instrumentation.
just btw there should be at least 10 mails in my inbox, but after I click on a new mail to read it then it disappears from the inbox, and I cannot for the life of me figure out where it went...
I love google, I think google are great, except for their mail system, I can categorically say I do not like it.
