Interviewer: There has been a lot of conversation in the past few years about UAPs [unidentified aerial phenomena] along with USOs — underwater submerged objects — which you brought to the pop culture forefront with The Abyss. You’ve spent so much time on and in the ocean. Have you ever seen anything that you cannot explain?
Cameron: I’ve seen some geological formations that were intriguing that I really wanted to understand better that I don’t think have been well observed before. I’ve photographed new species — things that were not immediately identifiable. But I’ve never seen anything that couldn’t be explained in the sense of some extraterrestrial phenomenon. Now, “belief” is a principle that I don’t have. I don’t believe things. I admit the possibility of things because the universe is infinite and obviously much stranger than we think, and much more complex than we think — that’s what makes science so appealing. But I don’t make broad statements like, “Well, I believe there must be extraterrestrial life; the universe is so big.” Yeah, it’s really big — and getting here would be a really, really big problem if there is even life out there, and if that life is intelligent. How are they crossing light years of space? I studied physics before I became a lit major, and people have no concept of the magnitude of that problem from a physics standpoint. I have a pretty good grasp of where physics was in 1972 — which basically is laughable at this point — but I keep up.
He’s made some decent movies (mostly Terminator 2)(True Lies in a so bad it’s good kind of way),
But the rest were good at making money and entertaining those who do not enjoy thinking.
He was such an incredible jackass on the set of Titanic someone poisoned dinner with PCP just to get a break.
However,
If his two cents as a mediocre, money bag film maker makes you sleep better,
Glad you found the article.
It’s also worth mentioning he couldn’t hack it in physics so he switched to English (the easiest of degrees, I know, I have one), still had to drop out.
Can there be life elsewhere? It’s probable. Is it intelligent? Hard to say. If you believe in punctuated equilibrium (cladogenesis) the conditions needed to inculcate intelligent life elsewhere are precious and rare. Our fossil record on Earth tends to support cladogenesis over phyletic gradualism (gradual, constant evolution).
Nature providing the right conditions elsewhere to promote the develop of intelligence is not impossible, but it could be fairly improbable. IF, if that life develops and it is intelligent, it will face the same energy constraints we do with crossing vast distances, making the chances of us meeting nearly impossible. I could be wrong, of course, but I like to go with the odds. This line of reasoning is also how I push back against the dark side of my head that would very much like to rule the roost.
Yeah the traveling part would be hard but how many galaxies stars planets ect exist there’s no way the universe isn’t booming with life imo. You can either think it’s rare and doesn’t happen or believe it’s a common occurrence. I think it’s a common occurrence as it has occurred here. I kinda turned around the usual argument of what are the odds. I mean we have the same physics everywhere. Thinking that they can’t reproduce the same ■■■■ over and over elsewhere with trillions and trillions of chances seems unlikely.
