This is not delusional- if the universe is infinite and expanding, then the odds of sentient life elsewhere are infinite and expanding. Please do not move this scientific fact into the delusions section.
I always wonder- I had a dream last night about aliens (they were evil and invaded my body after taking an interest in me, dont even get me started on how vivid my dreams are on melatonin and the nicotine patch) and I wondered an old pondering again.
Do you think we are the only life forms in the universe with organic schizophrenic psychosis? On earth we are.
I ask this because in my dream last night, the alien tentacle thing invaded my chest and then lived in my body using me as a host, and ink (like tattoos) appeared on my chest with descriptive adjectives, my name, and the name of my best friend, and my IQ, ect.
It way underestimated my IQ. LOL 102 my ass thats impossible given what I have done on standardized tests, more like add 20-30 points.
I believe in aliens who live elsewhere in our universe, I am certain that one day weâll meet these beings. They can be more advanced than we are, there are other people who believe in aliens too.
In my non medicated state at the moment I get these slightly far fetched ideas. For example what if God actually is an alien. An alien so advanced that we cannot fathom it. Well Ive been beat to that theory by Eric Von Daneken and his ideas about ufo landings in south america.
The probability is that we will never know. Unless there is a scientific discovery that gets us past the problem , of âlight yearsâ , I.e a measure of travelling at the speed of light for a year. You have to realise that there is a limited amount of time , to come up with effective space travel , our sun is set on expansion and burnout. Not only this is that we are also likely to undergo some kind of cataclysmic event here on earth befoe this. The other issue is that we canât expect other life to find us , people here seems to think other life means bipedial highly intelligent animals , it may not necessary mean this , infact the chances that they are , should they exist at all , is absolutely remote. When you couple this with the fact that should they exist , we are separated by vast vast distances , its not going to happen.
Why do we need to even know the answer to that question when we are not even able to properly defend our own planets life forms from becoming extinct. If we do not take some drastic measures soon then we will all parish and then come the future, the aliens will find only probes on Mars as an epitaph of our own intelligence⊠or lack thereof. We need a savior, but how embarrassing will that be if it comes in the way of superior intelligence finding us in this mess that we have manufactured for ourselves, literally speaking.
Google âthe drake equationâ. Also thanks to the indirect discovery of planets around other stars, a few of the drake equation variables are now known.
No. I do not think some extraterrestrials experience psychosis.
Extraterrestrials will have to be studied first to begin to organize questions regarding how their biological and physiological structures and functions can be comparable, how immune they are overall and what has become of their recorded extinction patterns in their ancestral backgrounds.
Extraterrestrials will have to be far more advanced to find us, then us them. We are just now about to embark on colonizing the Milky Way. Humans are more focused on humans, posthumans than extraterrestrials.
At the Future of Humanity Institute, several thinkers are trying to model the potential range of human expansion into the cosmos. The consensus among them is that the Milky Way galaxy could be colonised in less than a million years, assuming we are able to invent fast-flying interstellar probes that can make copies of themselves out of raw materials harvested from alien worlds. If we want to spread out slowly, we could let the galaxy do the work for us. We could sprinkle starships into the Milky Wayâs inner and outer tracks, spreading our diaspora over the Sunâs 250 million-year orbit around the galactic center.
If humans set out for other galaxies, the expansion of the universe will come into play. Some of the starry spirals we target will recede out of range before we can reach them. We recently built a new kind of crystal ball to deal with this problem. Our supercomputers can now host miniature universes, cosmological simulations that we can fast forward, to see how dense the universe will be in the deep future. We can model the structure and speed of colonisation waves within these simulations, by plugging in different assumptions about how fast our future probes will travel. Some think weâll swarm locust-like over the Virgo supercluster, the enormous collection of galaxies to which the Milky Way is bound. Others are more ambitious. Anders Sandberg, a research fellow at the Future of Humanity Institute, told me that humans might be able to colonise a third of the now-visible universe, before dark energy pushes the rest out of reach. That would give us access to 100 billion galaxies, a mind-bending quantity of matter and energy to play with.
It depends on who or what you want to believe. When it comes to other life in the universe I wouldnât rule it out. Itâs possible. To the best of my knowledge I seem to remember that scientists have found microbes or two cell organisms on meteors that have swung by other galaxies.
Theyâve discovered in a short time thousands of planets around other stars than our sun. In 2009 we sent a telescope into orbit especially designed to see planets around other suns. In a very short time it found evidence of 3,500 planets. The tracking mechanism on the telescope malfunctioned, though, and the telescope quit finding planets for us. Some of the planets we found exist in what they call the âGoldielocks Zoneâ, where they are at the right temperature to have liquid water. Having liquid water makes them far more likely to harbor life. Most of the Goldielocks planets are several times bigger than earth, which would make it difficult for us to live there. If a planet is, say, eight times bigger than earth, that would mean that someone who weighed 200 lbs. on earth would weigh 1600 lbs. on this planet. We have, however, found one that is only 12 per cent bigger than our planet. Soon we intend to send out the Webb telescope, an infared telescope that will be several times more powerful than the Hubble telescope. It will be able to see atmospheres on distant planets and tell if they have the right ingredients to support life.
Iâm currently studying a little astronomy module as part of my degree, and one of the things raised to me is that; whether it is possible for there to be another âEarthâ on the opposite side of the sun in the exact same place to create life! I know itâs like sci-fi but it doesnât half get my brain thinking! Weâd never know because of our orbit⊠I Believe it is near impossible for our life to be the only intelligent life in the universe, it is too wide and great and forever expanding as you know, with all that, how can we be truly alone?
And to answer your question, I believe if there is intelligent life, theyâre prone to disease as any other, Iâm not sure of what people interpret aliens as whether itâs
the ones abductees have said or something very similar to us, we may never know, but I believe itâs very possible if theyâre there theyâll be susceptible to everything we go through. I may be being a hypocrite as I still have delusions in other dimensions, superior beings etc but i can detatch when it comes to other life in the universe probably because of what Iâm learning, the scientist in me poses a logical head, compartmentalising as it were, from the irrational head jumping to conclusions over everything.
So in short the answer is yesâŠ
I feel for you with the vivid dreams, theyâre not good, Iâve lived with them a lot, and itâs easy to get into unhealthy thinking over them, just donât get too obsessed over them. Thought Iâd just throw that in there!
