There are a lot of people in the world who don't believe that life exists
anywhere else in the Universe.
Some of them say it is just physically impossible.
I disagree. I truly believe there is life on other planets all around our
Universe.
Let me explain why:
People often say, "Scientists have found Billions of stars all around
the Milky Way and all over the Universe that have planets orbiting around them.
However, most of these planets are either too close to or too far away from the star to sustain life. Or
the star is too big and hot. The planet appears to be too young or old or Scientists have not detected any water or Oxygen on that planet."
I have heard all the big excuses as to why people just don't want to believe
in extra terrestrials. None of those arguments make any sense at all to me!
When people tell me it is physically impossible for life to exist on any of
those other planets because....... Then they give me any of those explanations
above or any others, this is how I explain my reasons for believing in UFO's
and aliens.
To the people who think that it is impossible for life to exist on any other
planet because Scientists have not detected any Oxygen or Water on those
planets, here's my argument against that theory:
These people are only going by the Biology, Chemistry, Physics and other
things that most people believe to be true on our tiny planet we call Earth in
our small Milky Way Galaxy. Scientists discover new things here all the time.
They've also proven a lot of Scientific "Facts" and theories to be
wrong. For example: They've discovered some types of bacteria, viruses and
other microscopic forms of life that can survive in boiling water, freezing
temps and with or without water and oxygen. They've also found some that can
adapt to and survive in artificial atmospheres of things like: Ammonia, Co2 and
other gasses that would be deadly to humans. We don't know and can't prove how
much Oxygen was in our atmosphere 65 Million years ago, when the Dinosaurs were
here, but, Scientists do know for sure that there was a lot more O2 and less
CO2, Carbon monoxide and other toxic gasses, because humans weren't around
creating all those harmful gasses with cars, industrial emissions and other
things. Also Dinosaurs were so big, they needed more Oxygen than we do to survive.
If we humans were to live in an environment with 10 times more Oxygen than we
have today, we'd have to be much bigger than we are, or we would die. If we had
less, we would be smaller. Since there are a few organisms here on Earth that
can live without water and oxygen and in extreme temperatures, it makes sense
to say that there could be some life forms on other planets and other galaxies
that could do the same.
Galaxies only contain about 1% of
everything in this huge Universe. The rest is out in open space. We don't have
a clue about what another, alien life form would require to survive in their
world. Just because almost everything here on Earth requires Oxygen and Water
to survive, doesn't mean that every alien species in the entire Cosmos would be
required to have those things to live. My guess is they might require some
different things to live. Maybe they would die if they were exposed to Oxygen
and Water. Take, for example, the AIDS Virus, it can survive inside the Human
body, but, what happens when it gets out of the body and it's exposed to air?
It will only survive for a very short period of time, then within only a few
minutes or less, it dies!
The Universe is so big that even with the Hubble Telescope, we can only see
a small percentage of it. We don't know what things are like out there far away
from us. Even if another intelligent life form is out there and has built up
some large cities on another planet 1,000 Light years away, we will never be
able to see them and their cities through a telescope from Earth. They will
probably never be able to see us from their world either. We are just too small
to be seen through a telescope from a long ways away. If there is life out
there somewhere else in the Universe, and I'm sure there is, it doesn't mean it
has to be an intelligent life form living on the land; it might be a simple,
single celled form of bacteria living in the water or some other form of liquid
on another planet. That would still be considered a form of “Alien Life”.
Also, consider this: Our world is so
small, that our Solar System is just a tiny, insignificant, microscopic dot on
the cosmic map. We are sitting in the Orion Arm near the outside of the Milky
Way Galaxy. The entire diameter of our Solar System, from the Sun to Pluto and
even beyond that all the way to the end of the Heliosphere is less than one light year. The Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light years across.
There are Millions or probably Billions of other galaxies that are much larger
than ours. To make things sound even smaller, Scientists say that you could fit
all the other planets, including Pluto inside the space between the Earth and
our Moon. Jupiter is so big that more than two and a half Earths would fit inside its
Great Red Spot. 1,324 Earths would fit inside Jupiter. About 980 Jupiters
would fit inside the Sun and Thousands of Suns would fit inside of the star VY
Canis Major. In fact, if that star were placed in the center of our Solar
System, it would extend almost all the way out to Jupiter.
Our Universe is somewhere between 13-15 Billion years old. So far,this is the best estimate Scientists have for the age of our Universe. It might be much older! When the James Web Telescope gets up into space, it will see much further than the Hubble. That might make Scientists rethink the Universe's age. They will probably say it is older and larger than they thought.
Scientists believe the Universe is expanding at the speed of light or faster! If this is true and the Universe is expanding at the speed of light (186,282 Miles/299,792,458 M per second), the Universe is expanding one light year (5.878 Trillion Miles/9.4607E+12 KM) every year. That would put the far end of the Universe somewhere around 14 Billion light years (4.29241 Gigaparsecs) away from us.
Since there's not a single telescope in the world that can see much of anything at a distance of 14 Billion light years, we will probably never know who or what is out there that far away. I asked an Astronomer how big of a telescope would I need to see aliens on a planet: Four light years away, 100 light years away and 15 Billion light years away. His answer was shocking. To actually see aliens on a planet Four light years away, you'd need a telescope with an apreture, the opening at the end of the telescope that let's in light, that was over 100 miles in diameter and Just a few miles long. 100 light years away, your telescope would have to be a little bigger around than the Sun and a few miles longer. 15 Billion light years away, you'd need a scope about the diameter of the Milky Way Galaxy (100,00 light years from one end to the other) and probably 3 or 4 light years long! That is the minimum size scope you'd need. Even then, if you saw aliens at those distances, with the sizes of telescopes he recommended, the aliens would only appear as the size of small dots in the scope. Also, if you saw aliens from a distance of 65 Million light years away, the image you see would be what it looked like on that planet 65 Million years ago, NOT what it looks like there today! So, if aliens 65 Million light years away from us looked down at Earth with a really powerful telescope, they would actually see Dinosaurs- not Humans! In other words, give it up, you will never be able to make a telescope powerful enough to see aliens on another planet!
When you look up at the night sky, you can only see a very short distance. Almost everything you see is inside the Milky Way Galaxy. Except for the Andromeda Galaxy. That is 2.5 Million light years away. It is between 1.5 & 2 times the size of the Milky Way, so it can be seen with the naked eye. There's probably a few other things you can see outside of the Milky Way without a telescope, but, not much. With a good telescope, you can see way beyond our Galaxy, but, you cannot prove or disprove the existence of life.
SETI (the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), NASA and a bunch of other places have been sending out radio signals to specific areas in space where they think life may be. But, radiowaves travel the speed of light. So, they will take 2 and a half Million years to get from Earth to the Andromeda Galaxy. To get to a star 5 Billion light years away, that's how long it will take to get there. Humans will probably be extinct by that time! They will only be able to receive the messages if they have a radio telescope that can pick up our Earthly signals. Then, their message they send us in response will take the same amount of time to get back to us.
NASA has, however, received just a few mysterious signals from space that they suspect, might of come from intelligent life forms in space. (For the best example, Google the "WOW SIGNAL".)
Humans have only been sending radio signals for about 50 years or less. It will take a long time for them to get to their destination.
Throughout history there have been thousands of people who have claimed to
have seen UFO’s. There are even hieroglyphic drawings on the walls of the ancient
pyramids of UFOs. That was long before humans ever learned how to fly. Of
course, half of those sightings were probably just Meteors, Comets and similar
things, but, those objects can only travel in one direction, they don’t have
several different colored lights all over them, they don’t shoot laser beams
and transport rays, they are not perfectly round and shaped like you would
expect a UFO to be shaped and they don’t have little green aliens climbing in
and out of them.
Thousands of people around the world who have never met each other have
claimed to seen UFOs and had alien encounters. Some of these people even claim to
have been abducted. A lot of their descriptions of the UFOs and aliens have
matched almost exactly!
Astronomers have discovered Thousands of what they call: “EARTHLIKE”
planets in the Milky Way and all over the
observable Universe. These planets are close to the size of Earth, close enough
to a star that is not too big or too hot to sustain life.
Years ago, there was something mysterious that crashed out of the sky and
landed in Roswell, NM. Nobody knows for sure what it really was, because, right
after it crashed, the US Military was right there cleaning it up! They loaded
it all up and took it away to a top secret location. Most people think they
took it to Area 51. Then they found the only guy that saw it and forced him to
get on TV and say it was a weather balloon. More than likely, they probably, threatened
to break his legs and kill his whole family if he ever told anyone what he
really saw! It would be like the Government to do that stuff, think about it,
how often has the government ever been 100% or even 1% totally honest about anything?
The answer to that question is somewhere between 0% and never!
For a long time, there have been strange things popping up around the world
called “Crop Circles”. Several people have tried to take the credit for them,
just so they can become famous idiots! But there is so much evidence to prove that
humans did not make them. For instance, there are no human footprints or tire
tracks around them. Nobody ever sees or hears them being made. They show up in
several different countries in the same night. People can’t travel across the
ocean fast enough to do this in more than one country in the same night. Every
time people go somewhere, they leave something behind, it might be trash,
cigarette butts, lint from clothes, finger prints, footprints or something
else, but, there is usually no evidence left behind to show that humans were
ever at the scene where the crop circles are appearing. The circles are almost
geometrically perfect. Humans would have a very hard time making a huge circle
that perfectly round. There is a strange type of radiation that has been
detected inside these circles. Sometimes the crops that have been made into a
circle are magnetic.
The pyramids were built between 5,000 and 10,000 years ago. Nobody knows
exactly how or why they were built. Nobody has been able to duplicate them now,
not even with modern technology, physics and Engineering. Who taught people how
to make them that long ago? Also, who helped them carry the huge rocks, some of them weighing over Ten tons, from the
mines to the building sites? It was probably aliens from outer space.
These are the main reasons why I believe in UFOs. I know some people will
still disagree with me. I challenge you to do your own blog about why you
disagree with me. But, Just be ready to explain your reasons as to why you don’t
believe in UFOs and give any Scientific evidence you have to support your
belief.
