Well that's a new way to look at it.
So in the great dust balls that accrete by gravity to become planets, there was also detritus of other civilizations. So, for example, the alien wrench of an unusual alloy that is found in a coal seam would have drifted from orbit around some other planetary civilization and joined in the early layers of our geology.
Cool!

It is an interesting theory, but....
We have a fairly molten ball of liquid rock, possibly 6000 miles in diameter, expanding while it's cooling. The mass is about 90% of what it is today, so there is close to equivalent gravity. The objects if falling into the liquid rock would more than likely melt or be destroyed on impact. That is assuming no atmosphere during entry. Now if there is an atmosphere, you have entry friction problem also.

You gotta get beyond the time of planetary creation and allow all of that hardware and artifacts to be floating around out there in the ether for a long time, maybe previous to the current body building. And it can last in the isolation of deep space for a looog time. Rather than accepting that a iron meteorite that fell in Arabia last night was just a chunk of a former body formed at the time of our system (which can cover a range of billions of years alone), assume that it was an old 'fridge from a devastated planet from some other system long gone before ours even existed.

I believe the oop arts were made here on earth by former civilizations. I mean, how would a vase make it through earths atmosphere and land in a swamp? One was found in a coal seam here in WV. I've heard that others have been found but not reported. Probably sitting on some robber barons shelf. I think there was intelligent civilizations before and we are finding little traces of them. I absolutely love oop arts.edit on 15-4-2014 by Fylgje because: (no reason given)

Good answer....what's your background Dave? Did you study physics in academia or are you an enthusisst/self taught?
I ask this as your posts are always well informed with good examples to back up your arguments.....
I find it hard believe that any civilisation reaching our level of technological complexity would not leave behind some sort of mess that we would detect as none natural.
We have poluted the Earth, Sea, Space and the near Planets with our crap and some of it will take millions of years to degrade to the point of appearing like natural phenomena (high orbit sattelites/nuclear waste capsules/footprints and tracks on the moon/man made diamonds etc)
Saying that, if we start to think in Billions rather than millions (pre civilisation disapeared into space/into a virtual reality 1 billion years ago) they could well have just manufactured self replicating nano machines to break down all man made objects into base elements with the final job being to erase themselves.
Yet to see one artifact that is properly "out of place " (assuming that much of history was revised to suit the lords of the printing press and humans didnt suddenly start becoming intelligent 2000 years ago).
The Antikythera mechanism is a good candidate as no one in the world repeated it's structure until the 14th century but the evidence suggests someone, somewhere (possibly now under water) knew how to build complex machines long before the Greeks/Romans/Egyptians/Sumerians/Indus Valley suspects.

It only takes a few hundred years to wash away the surface stains, another hundred thousand to put pretty much everything below ground and out of site. Everything breaks down to it's ground state, even in classical physics, entropy always reduces order to chaos.
