Extraterrestrials

[Mitch]

Food for thought. Earth's sun is but a single star in our galaxy, the Milky Way. One of billions. Any other star in our galaxy could have planets like ours. There are (IDK how many), let's say scads of galaxies. The Hubble can see them. The same could apply to those galaxies with billions of stars in each. I don't believe that it would be prudent to think that we here on earth are the only intelligent life in the entire universe. JMHO!

For how long, within the history of this planet, have ETs been visiting and leaving evidence of their having been on Earth ?

Since the second or third episode of Flash Gordon!

Mitch, That's an important perspective, in my opinion. It’s likely not all there simply for our entertainment, especially since we can’t even see most of it, let alone say hello.

[up148]

Yeah, when you "really" think about it, it's almost inconceivable to believe we could be the only life form in the universe. I know scientist try to explain it away and recent discoveries show the universe is still expanding at an increasing rate, it is awe inspiring at the very least. Reaching the other galaxies is the issue or actually "time" is the real issue. Seems we look to the "black holes" and "worm holes" to fold space or ????

[quote="MurphOnMillerAve" For example, the phenomenon of pyramids having been built on various continents, by civilizations (?) which would never have come in contact with each other, especially not to exchange mega-construction methods and projects (!)

Examples would be:
Indonesia: Gun ung Panang (so?)
Peru: Sican
Guatemala: El Mirador
Gisa plateau
El Castillo, Chichen Itza, Teotihuacan pyramid complex
China (dozens of hidden pyramids)[/quote]

You've forgotten a trove of dockqmenteries: The Alien franchise, Predators, It, Invaders from Mars, pod people, not to mention a host of Democrats, and who knows what might have been discovered if Han Solo hadn't bought the farm!

Interpreting the Nazca Lines as landing guide(s) / air strips (?)
Prayers for rain?
Map(s) of underground water system (?)

If these so called aliens are that advanced that they have an interstellar space craft that can get to this planet from a galaxy far far away. they don't need landing guides or air strips. It's not an airplane. Maybe they have a STARGATE if they actually exist.

And if they do exist you can kiss all religion on this planet goodby.

Maybe we humans are the ones to propagate the universe. We just have not evolved that far as of yet. That is if we don't destroy this planet and ourselves first. We will gradually consume this planet that is why we need to find another home to survive in the future.

It is an impossibility for one galaxy to move toward another. As 148 states, the universe is expanding, therefore the space between the galaxies is expanding, the galaxies aren't moving. Mind blowing, huh! There is no end to the universe? None of us will ever live long enough to know. Hell, we still don't know what's under all the oceans, and that could take decades to find out.

[MurphOnMillerAve]

That’s an excellent point to add here, Mitch, about the oceans. Some of those more wispy, diaphanous creatures from the very deep seem alien, lacking the body parts that seem typical to Earth.

Extraterrestrial life
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraterrestrial_life

Extraterrestrial life or alien life is life which may occur outside of Earth and which did not originate on Earth. No extraterrestrial life has yet been conclusively detected, although efforts are underway. Such life might range from simple forms such as prokaryotes to intelligent beings, possibly bringing forth civilisations that might be far more advanced than humanity. The Drake equation speculates about the existence of sapient life elsewhere in the universe. The science of extraterrestrial life is known as astrobiology.

It is unclear if life and intelligent life are ubiquitous in the cosmos or rare. The hypothesis of ubiquitous extraterrestrial life relies on the vast size and consistent physical laws of the observable universe. According to this argument, made by scientists such as Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking, it would be improbable for life not to exist somewhere else other than Earth. This argument is embodied in the Copernican principle, which states that Earth does not occupy a unique position in the Universe, and the mediocrity principle, which states that there is nothing special about life on Earth.

Other authors consider instead that life in the cosmos, or at least multicellular life, may be actually rare. The Rare Earth hypothesis maintains that life on Earth is possible because of a series of factors that range from the location in the galaxy and the configuration of the Solar System to local characteristics of the planet, and that it is unlikely that all such requirements are simultaneously met by another planet. The proponents of this hypothesis consider that very little evidence suggests the existence of extraterrestrial life, and that at this point it is just a desired result and not a reasonable scientific explanation for any gathered data.

I just watched "Venus: Death of a planet" and they keyed in on some of those differences. I had no idea the thickness and movement of tectonic plates adds to the earths atmosphere and allowing it to become what it is today......something Venus doesn't have. No tectonic plates, just hundreds of miles of crust down to it's core and no surface movement. How do they know this by doing a fly by or viewing through telescopes. Sure seems like theory and hypothesis are sold to us as "truths".

Are they the ones that wear the tinfoil hats that we have seen pictures of.

Nobody rebutting their spiel. Think about all the horse crap that's been put out on different subjects over the years that was total fiction. Add to that, most of us don't spend a lot of time thinking about the planet Venus!

Dang, I forgot about those tinfoil hats! Good one Hondo!
