Some Scientists think it,s impossible for life to exist anywhere else in the Cosmos. I disagree.

 SCIENTISTS SAY THAT IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR LIFE TO EXIST ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE UNIVERSE.

I disagree. This is why:

There's more than 

1 TRILLION galaxies in the known Universe. That is according to a guesstimate by Scientists.

Only One percent of everything in the Universe is in galaxies. Everything else is just in open space.

The Milky Way Galaxy, in which we live, is only about 100,000 light years wide. It's not very big compared to a lot of others. We have approximately 200 Billion stars in our galaxy alone. Most stars have at least One planet around them. 

Using the "Drake Equation" each Scientist uses their own guess of numbers of how many planets may be in our galaxy, how many may have life, how many of the planets with life have intelligent life, etc.

Most Scientists say there's probably between 2 to 100 planets with life in the Milky Way Galaxy. Most Scientists say between 2-4 planets. My own guess is 2 or 3. Earth is one of them that I include in my guess. So, I guess 1 or 2 other planets have life in our galaxy. 

We will never know, for sure, all we can do is guess.

Now, take your guess of whatever you come up with, in my case, 3 and multiply it by 1 Trillion galaxies. Three Trillion planets with life in galaxies.

Now, remember that 99% of everything is in open space, not in galaxies. Add any number you want to that for planets in open space that may have life.

I will add another 

1 Quintillion planets in open space with life.

1,000,000,000,000,000,000.

Most of those planets won't have intelligent life. They might have microscopic, single cell bacteria that live in an environment of Methane, Ammonia and other gasses that are poisonous to humans and the planet might be -500° below Zero F! But, it is still life.

There's probably only 5 percent or less of those planets with life that have intelligent life and have radio telescopes that can send and receive signals and can communicate with us.

The closest star to Earth, besides the Sun, is: Proxima Centauri. It's about 4.2 light years away. Most other stars are Thousands or Millions of light years away! One light year equals 5.878 Trillion miles.

If the nearest star with a planet that has intelligent life listening to our radio signals is 10,000 light years away, the radio signals sent from Earth will take 10,000 years to get there. Their signals they send in response to us will take another 10,000 years to get to Earth! 

That is only if they can decipher our signals and figure out where they came from. 

That's a long time to wait for a response from aliens. In 20,000 years, when their signals for their response reaches us, human life might not longer exist.

I think that it's highly unlikely that we are the only intelligent life in the Universe.

Even if intelligent life does exist in the Universe, we will never be able to see the aliens through a telescope, not even with the Hubble or James Webb Telescopes. Theoretically, to see aliens 10,000 light years away, we would need a telescope bigger than the Sun. 

With a telescope that size, the aliens would only look like dots about the size of Ants. That's if they were the size of an avg human, 5.5 Feet tall. The image we saw through the scope would be of what the planet and aliens looked like 10,000 years ago.

If we wanted to see a much larger image of the aliens, we'd have to have a telescope about 3-5 times larger than the Sun! Then, maybe we could see a good image of what those aliens looked like 10,000 years ago. We would not get to see what they look like today.

Dinosaurs died off 65 Million years ago. So, if aliens live 65 Million light years away, if they looked at Earth through a powerful telescope, they would not see Humans, they would see Dinosaurs on Earth.

Humans have been reporting UFO and alien sightings for Millions of years. 

(The oldest Human remains that have been found were 7 Million years old.)

People all around the world, who have never met each other have reported alien sightings and abductions for a long time and most of their descriptions of aliens match almost exactly!

There are pictures of aliens and UFOS on the walls of the pyramids. Nobody knows how the Pyramids were built 5,000 years ago. Humans today can't recreate Pyramids exactly like they were made 5,000 years ago. Maybe they had help from aliens.

We have Crop Circles. Humans try to take credit for them. They say they made them for a joke. But, not likely. Because, there's no evidence of humans having been there and they pop up over night. They are also too perfect for humans to of made.

There are no foot prints, no tire tracks, no trash, like cigarette butts, lint from human clothes, human blood, paper, candy wrappers or any other human trash.

The circles are almost perfect 360 degree circles. Humans can't make a perfect crop circle. The corn or where stalks are not broken. The dirt below the circle is magnetized or has some other type of radiation coming off it.

Somebody is abducting Humans and Cows. They return the Cows and they appear to have been cut open with a laser. Humans aren't doing that.

The list goes on and on for why I believe there has to be life elsewhere in the Universe. I believe there's probably more than a Quintillion other planets with life in the Universe. Half of them with intelligent life the rest with unintelligent life.

THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE. (REVENGE ON SCHOOL.)

I hated school worse than anything and I didn't even care about it!
There were a lot of Teachers and students I couldn't stand! I also hated homework and schoolwork and almost everything else about school!
The best and most exciting day of my life was the last day of school, my Sr year, because I knew I'd never have to go back to school ever again for the rest of my life!
No matter what happened that day, nothing could have ruined the day for me. Someone could have pointed a gun at me and took all my money and I wouldn't of even cared! I never carried much money with me to school anyway, I usually brought $5.00 or less to school. I had no reason to bring any more than that. Then I didn't have to worry about getting it lost or stolen. The only thing in school we needed money for was a Pepsi machine.
When the last bell rang and I was leaving, I did something very immature, but, it was fun! I dumped a trashcan on the floor in the hallway and drew a long line on a row of lockers with a permanent marker as I walked down the hall towards the door! I know it was childish revenge, but, for that one day, I didn't care! That was my way of celebrating the best day of my life! Since I wasn't old enough to LEGALLY drink beer and Moonshine, I had to do something fun and destructive. That was also a way for me to release some of my frustration on a place that I hated!
Then I flipped everyone the middle finger, screamed, "F*** you everybody! I hate you and I hate this ****** place! I'll never come back here again!"
Then I walked out the door smiling! I think that was the only day in my entire that I actually smiled at school!
I HATED school with a passion! I'll never go back there again!

The next day, I got up in the morning, just to laugh at my brother, because he had to get ready to go to school and I didn't!

The Drake Equation:

The Drake Equation was created in 1961, by Frank Drake.
(N=R* × f p × n e × f l × f i × f c × L).
This was his attempt to estimate the number of other intelligent life forms in the Universe.
His original reason for creating this equation was not only to figure out how many other planets have life, but, also to promote Scientific discussion about extraterrestrial life in the Cosmos.
N= The number of intelligent life forms in the Milky Way Galaxy with advanced technology, who would be able to communicate with us.
(For example, they would have a radio telescope which can send and receive messages to and from other planets far away.)
R= The rate at which new stars form in our Galaxy.
Fp= The fraction of stars with planets.
Ne= Number of planets in each solar system with an environment that could support life.
Fe= Fraction of planets that could support life on which life actually appears.
Fi= The fraction of life-bearing planets that actually have intelligent life.
Fc= The fraction of civilizations that release detectable signs of their existence into space.
L= Length of time such civilizations have been releasing detectable signals into space.
This equation is only a "guesstimate" (Combination of a guess and an estimate) of how many planets in ONLY THE MILKY WAY GALAXY would possibly have intelligent life with whom we could possibly communicate.
The Milky Way is the name of the galaxy in which we live.
Each Scientist that has used this equation has used different numbers. It is just each person's individual guesstimate of how many planets in our galaxy might have intelligent life.
By using different numbers, each Scientist has come up with different answers. Some Scientists have estimated: 1,000 planets. But the most common answers have been around 2 or 3. With Earth being one of them.
Anyway, you take the number that you come up with for the amount of planets in the Milky Way and guess that more than likely, most other galaxies that support life will have approximately the same number of planets with intelligent life. 
There are over 1 Trillion galaxies that Scientists have observed in the Universe. However, that to is a guesstimate. Because nobody can count to 1 Trillion.
I would guess that about half of all galaxies don't have any life at all. That leaves 500 Billion galaxies that might have life. Of those, only half of them will have a planet or Two with intelligent life. Leaving us with 250 Billion galaxies. Then, only half of those will be sending detectable signals into space. That is 125 Billion. 
Galaxies only contain a small amount of everything that is in the Universe, around One percent (1%)! Everything else is just in open space. This fact was not taken into consideration in the equation. So, there could be Octillions of more planets in open space that are not in a galaxy.
With my figures, each galaxy with intelligent life would have Two planets with life forms who are trying to communicate with us or aliens on other planets. My guess would be about:
125 Billion galaxies times Two planets in each with intelligent life, which equals 
250 Billion. Plus all the planets with intelligent life in open space:
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,(Octillion) more planets!
However, we will never know for certain how many other alien life forms are out there.
Radio signals travel at the speed of light: 186,282 Miles per Second. 5.878 Trillion Miles/year.
The nearest star is "Proxima Centauri" is about 4.2 light years away. It is part of the Alpha Centauri star system.
Most other stars are hundreds, thousands or even Millions or Billions of light years away.
Scientists on Earth have been sending signals to other stars and other galaxies for about 60 years as of this writing (August, 2019). That means our signals have only traveled a maximum of 60 light years. They have gone way past Alpha Centauri. But, all radio signals from Earth will take over 2,537,497 Million years to get to our nearest, large galaxy, the Andromeda Galaxy! 
More than likely, no intelligent, alien life forms will ever receive our radio signals in your lifetime. 
If a signal from Earth takes 1,000 years to get to a planet and someone can interpret it, figure out where it came from and send a signal back in the exact same direction that it came from, their signal will take 1,000 years to get back to Earth.
They can only receive, read the signal and send a signal back IF they have a Radio Telescope or something similar.

Autism Spectrum Disorders:

A few more Autism facts.
Most Autistic people, but not all:

1. They have trouble reading and understanding: Non-verbal cues. Such as body language, tone of voice, facial expressions, etc. Not only do they have trouble interpreting other people's body language, but, they often don't show much non-verbal cues, like facial expressions themselves.

2. One of the hardest and most uncomfortable things for them to do is to look somebody in the eyes! Giving another person direct eye contact is very frightening, uncomfortable, difficult and just feels weird.
It took me years to get used to looking people in the eye. When I first started trying to do it, it made me feel sick, rapid heart rate, hard to breath, I felt like vomiting, I had to resist the urge to run away, i was really scared and I actually felt like I was doing something illegal! Fortunately, I don't have that problem anymore.

3. Autistic people and Aspies (A person that has Asperger's) do feel a lot of empathy for other people, they just don't show it very well through verbal and non-verbal language.

4. They are not usually anti-social, they do want to talk to people. They just don't know how, they are uncomfortable approaching new people they don't know, they may of had a lot of bad experiences with people, they don't understand non-verbal language and don't know if it will be safe to approach a specific person.
But, if you make the first move and talk to them first, they will usually want to have somebody to talk to and they might hang out with you all day.

5. No verbal filter. Quite often, they will not know how to sugar coat things. They will not stop and think before they speak. They frequently just come right out and very bluntly say something that, to you, may sound inappropriate. They were not trying to offend anybody, they just didn't know any other way to say what was on their mind. Sometimes they might tell an extremely vulgar joke to somebody who is very religious and everybody in the room hears the joke, they think it's funny, but they don't dare laugh at it, because they don't want to be the one to offend the preacher that is standing next to the person who told the vulgar joke. (I've been there, done that!)

6. Selective Mutism.
If someone with Autism is uncomfortable around a specific person or doesn't know them very well, they might totally ignore that person and refuse to talk to them. This could go on for one day, a few minutes or the rest of their life! Usually, if the Autistic person gets to know the person they're ignoring or they just become more comfortable around them, they will stop doing this.

7. Not everybody with an Autism Spectrum Disorder is really good at Math and Science. They don't all think very logically. Some are more creative.

8.  A lot of Autistic people don't understand jokes. Sometimes if you tell a joke, everyone else will laugh and the Autistic will not laugh, they probably didn't understand the joke and will think about it for a while (Knock knock. Who's there....... What is so funny about knocking on somebody's door?), but they still won't understand it.
Worse yet, they might take the joke literally and think you were actually serious.

9. Literal thinkers. Just like taking a joke seriously, they might take other common expressions literally. If you say: "It's raining cats and dogs, a young kid might not understand that expression. The kid might look out the window and get confused because they don't see any animals falling out of the sky.

10. Blue lights are a sign that you support Autism Awareness. Mar-26-Apr-2, 2018 Is World Autism Awareness Week. April is National Autism Awareness Month. So, from now until April 30th would be a good time to put a Blue light on your porch.

11. Autistic people are often very detail oriented. If you see a car in a parking lot, you will notice that it is a Red, Ford Mustang. They will look at it differently. They might point out some small detail that nobody else can see. They might say: "The paint is chipped on the Right side of the hood."

12. Facial recognition. If an Autistic person sees someone they know and they are at a place where they see that person all the time, they will have no problem recognizing them and they will know exactly who that person is. But, if they go out somewhere else and see that same person somewhere else, they might not recognize them. It's even worse with people they have only known a short period of time.

13. Monotone voice sounds rude. A person with Autism often has a flat tone, pitch, tempo, inflection etc. They might tell you they're excited, happy, sad or anything else,  but, you can't hear it in their voice.
Some of them sound like a robot. Their voice is that flat and monotone. They don't realize it either. Some people accuse them of being rude or disrespectful, but, they are not being disrespectful. They don't realize there is anything unusual about their voice. So please don't let that bother you.

14. Multitasking. Most people with Autism Spectrum Disorders  (ASD) have a hard time multitasking. They may be able to handle doing two things at the same time, but, they will have trouble concentrating on both tasks.  Most of their attention will be focused on one of the two things.  They will forget about the other. Throw in a third task and forget it! They will probably not get all three things done at the same time!

15. Driving is a big problem for a lot of Autistics. Some people have Autism or a related disorder. They are 25 years old and still don't have a driver's license! They don't want it and are not ready.  They don't feel safe behind the wheel or whatever their reason is.
When they do start to drive, they often will never figure out exactly how to drive a stick shift properly and safely, without having any problems.  That requires a lot of multitasking.  You have to do everything with perfect timing and concentrate on too many things at the same time.  It is too difficult and a waste of time! Just keep it simple, get an automatic transmission,  you simply step on the gas and don't  concentrate any of that unnecessary, waste of time shifting!

16. Stimming: This includes things like, rocking back and forth or sideways, hand flapping, humming or fidgeting with an object, such as a pencil, toys or whatever they can find. This is one reason why Fidget Spinners were invented. They can help with stimming and fidgeting. (Please don't try to stop a child from stimming. It helps to keep them calm and prevent them from having a meltdown.)

17. Forgetfulness: Albert Einstein had Asperger's. Although, he was very smart and his IQ score was 160, he was very forgetful. People with Autism Spectrum Disorders often tend to be very smart, but, sometimes very forgetful. New Scientific and Psychological research has shown that most extremely intelligent people seem to be very forgetful.

18. Straight A students. If you notice when your kid is in elementary school, they don't have to study very hard and they are always getting straight As and Bs, that is a sign of Autism. It doesn't necessarily mean the kid is Autistic, it's just one symptom of Autism.

19. Intense interest or almost an obsession with a limited amount of things.
For some people with Asperger's and Autism, they might love Math, Chemistry, Physics, Dogs, Dinosaurs, cars or or other things.
Myself, I've always loved Astronomy, UFOs, planets and other things Astronomy related.
Also, ironically, I have always loved jokes. (Ironic, because, most Aspies don't understand Jokes very well. But, I've never had that problem.)

20. Less imaginative play. Some Autistic kids can be very imaginative. But, a lot of them are less imaginative and creative than other kids. They may choose to play games that are more simplistic and not as creative. They may require less imagination and be just logical and sometimes simple games.
They may be too much of a logical and straight to the point thinker. Or they might be too shy to want to join in a game that requires more creativity.
(I had that problem when I was younger. I was usually very creative, but, too shy to suggest a more creative game or join others in the creative games they were playing.)

21. Less interested in sports than most people seem to be. Autistic people often tend to be more independent and less team oriented. Other team members just get in the way. Aspies often choose games that are not team oriented games, such as Golf. There's no team, you don't have to wait for someone else to throw you the ball. Nobody can throw the ball to a dozen other players, etc. They prefer to take all the credit for the game and don't want other people getting in their way.
Autistic people often get bored watching sports. They don't understand the games or how and why people can sit there and watch them for a long time.
(I have had several friends who loved sports. I didn't understand that. However, in the Army, everybody hung out in one guys room in the barracks when any sport came on that they liked, especially: Wrestling and Football. If I wanted to hang out with my friends, I had to go suffer through the sports, just to hang out with everybody.)

22. Writing: Most people with Asperger's and Autism are more logical and less creative. They are usually better at Math and Science than they are at Creative writing. If they do get into writing at all, they are usually better at writing research papers, newspaper articles and Scientific reports rather than writing creative, fictional stories.
(Myself, I've done all of the above. I've written newspaper articles, fictional stories and as you can see here, Scientific and Psychological research reports. Writing has always been one of my strong points and something I enjoy.)

Please Stand By movie.

Over all, the movie was very realistic. Dakota Fanning did a really good job playing the roll of an Autistic girl. She shows a lot of the signs of being Autistic, not giving eye contact, having a few meltdowns, people trying to take advantage of her, she got easily confused, stuck to a routine, etc.
She was a Star Trek fan and she wrote a 400+ page Star Trek script. However, most people who have Autism Spectrum Disorders are not good at wiring. They are also not usually very creative. They are usually very logical. Most Autistic people are very logical and they're usually really good at things like: Math and Science.
There were a few things they did not show in the movie which would of made it a little better like somebody pulling a joke on her and at least one situation where she would have said something, but had no "verbal filter".
People with Autism usually don't understand jokes. If someone would of told her a joke and she would of gotten really confused and not understand that it was a joke and most people would of found the joke funny or, better yet, if she would of taken the joke literally, someone says something for a joke, but she takes it seriously and actually thinks what the other person said was really true so she doesn't laugh. That would have made for a really good scene in the movie.
They did a really good job showing her journey of trying to get to LA to drop off her Star Trek script and having a lot of problems along the way.
The name of the movie comes from what the main character, Wendy (Dakota Fanning), says and what other people say to her when she has a meltdown or when she gets really frustrated. She or someone else says, "Please Stand By, Please Stand By." They say it over and over to help her calm down.
Overall, it was a really good movie. Five stars.
It was realistic enough on some things, that
Anybody that has an Autism Spectrum disorder should definitely see this movie.

Having Asperger's myself, I could really understand this movie.
I mentioned above that most people who have Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are not good at writing, but, they're usually really good at Math and Science. They usually think more logically and they are usually not very creative. Most of them don't understand jokes. They don't understand what makes a joke funny, won't find the humor in it, won't laugh and worst of all, they might take the joke seriously! They definitely are not good at telling jokes. For some strange reason, I've always been just the opposite. I am very creative and I have always been better at writing than I was at Math and Science. In fact, I hate Math! I am also not good at it. I love Science, especially Astronomy. I was never really good in Science classes, but, I've always been interested in it.
For most of my life, I have been good at telling jokes and I've been able to understand them. I have also enjoyed hearing other people tell them. Most of the time I've been able to understand when somebody is telling a joke and most of the time, I didn't take the joke seriously.
People with Asperger's and other ASDs usually have at least one thing they are totally obsessed with. One thing I used to be obsessed with was telling jokes.
