Are we the only civilization-building intelligent species that has ever occurred in the universe? It's one of science's oldest questions. Earlier this year, my colleague Woody Sullivan and I published a paper in the journal Astrobiology presenting new results that, I believe, throw new light on the ancient question. And, based on that work, last month I wrote an OpEd in The New York Times that ran with provocative title "Yes, There Were Aliens." The Times piece found a large audience and generated strong responses running from agreement to dissent to folks telling me I really should look into UFOs (sorry, not my thing). Today, I would like, once again, to present our argument and dive a little
At first glance, Saturn’s moon Titan doesn’t seem like the kind of place that could host alien life. What if there were one that didn’t need water to survive - something we’ve never seen here on Earth? According to a new study by scientists at Cornell University, there’s a chance that life actually could exist on this distant moon.
Is another being responsible for our lives or even the entire universe? If you believe in God, you have your answer. However, some mind-boggling studies suggest other possibilities for higher beings who are responsible for our existence. 10 The Universe Shouldn’t Exist According to certain studies, the universe should not have survived more than one second. For example, the big bang should have produced equal amounts of matter and antimatter, canceling each other out. Instead, slightly more matter was produced, creating the entire observable universe. We can’t definitively explain this. In another theory, the universe is in the Higgs field, which gives particles their mass. A large energy field
We Are Not Alone. They Walk Among us. Are they already here? Have they already infiltrated our system while our knowledge remains limited to the world we see before us? From early childhood, we lingered for fascinating ghost stories based on reality, as well as knowledge about cursed objects held under maximum security. But how can one distinguish between the paranormal and extraterrestrial? These can very likely be signs for a presence of life from the other world slowly colonizing us. Within Earth, we have numerous natural phenomenon, Thought-Provoking Paradox, mysterious places as well as many conspiracy theories that bother the minds of scientists and philosophers on a daily basis while
