Critical Meteorites Life In Our Own Solar System And Private Spaceships

Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. Here's today's news:g STARS - Advanced technologies now available at the National Science Foundation's Dunn Solar Telescope at Sunspot, NM, are revealing striking details inside sunspots and hint at features remaining to be discovered in solar activity. These features hold the key to understanding the magnetic structure of sunspots and can only be seen in ultra high-resolution images such as this one. Magnetism in solar activity is the "dark energy problem" being tackled in solar physics today. See article.g ABODES - University of Arizona scientists have discovered that meteorites, particularly iron meteorites, may have been critical to the evolution of life on Earth. See article. Please accept my apologies in advance for the Babylonian Web site I found this otherwise scientifically legitimate story on. g LIFE - A team of NASA exobiology researchers revealed this week organic chemicals that play a crucial role in the chemistry of life are common in space. See article.g INTELLIGENCE - The first study to systematically mark the onset of "childhood amnesia" found that by the time children are 10, their preschool memories have already faded away. See article.g MESSAGE - Book alert: Is it possible that extraterrestrial life forms exist within the Milky Way? "Extraterrestrials: Where Are They?" edited by Ben Zuckerman and Michael H. Hart, offers a critical analysis by leading experts in a range of sciences, of the plausibility that other intelligent lifeforms do exist. Exploration of the Solar System, and observations with telescopes that probe deep space, have come up empty handed in searches for evidence of extraterrestrial life. Many experts in the fields of astronomy, biology, chemistry and physics are now arguing that the evidence points to the conclusion that technological civilizations are rare. After ten billion years, and among hundreds of billions of stars, we may well possess the most advanced brains in the Milky Way Galaxy. This second edition contains many new and updated aspects of extraterrestrial research, especially the biological viewpoint of the question.g COSMICUS - The next generation of human spaceflight is no longer the sole province of governments. Private spaceships transporting passengers first to the edge of space-and ultimately into orbit-are in various stages of design, construction and testing. See article. For related story, see "NASA Issues New Centennial Challenges To Spur Suborbital Rocketry".g LEARNING - Here's a neat book for children: "Draw Alien Fantasies", by Damon J. Reinagle. It offers step-by-step instructions show you basic techniques, inspirational ideas, plus drawing tips and tricks for weird alien heroes, space stations, space ships, and astronauts.g IMAGINING - Like stories about communicating with aliens? Be sure to scour your favorite used bookstores for Michael Bishop's "Transfigurations" (1979), in which ET converses by changing colors.g AFTERMATH Donald E. Tarter, a consultant in space policy and technology assessment, makes a persuasive case for developing the protocols and technology to reply to an extraterrestrial signal before news of the discovery is made public, in his article, "Advocating an Immediate Response." Delay could be costly as technologically advanced fringe groups or ambitious nations could attempt to score a propaganda victory by being the first to reply, creating a mixed and perhaps embarrassing first message. This could be avoided by settling on a quick and simple message to let the extraterrestrial source know that we had received their message. See article.

Talking To The Aliens

DOUGLAS A. VAKOCH (ED.). COMMUNICATING WITH EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE, STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK PRESS, 2011

The idea of communicating with extraterrestrial intelligences through radio, optic or other processes continues to fascinate both sections of the scientific community and the general public, despite 50 years of failure to detect an unambiguous extraterrestrial signal. This is evident from the collection of papers published here which "arose from" the April 2010 astrobiology science conference organised by NASA.

Centred on three broad themes: latest advances in SETI; should we transmit; and if we received a message could we actually understand it. Many of the papers are of a technical nature aimed mainly at the professionals, but others do include broader themes. The essentially religious nature of the SETI for many people is still apparent in some of the papers, both in the direct sense that the gods who rule the sky will give us boons in answer to our petitions, and in the more subtle sense that somehow knowledge of other intelligences will lead to some sort of spiritual transformation in humankind, making us turn swords into ploughshares and become very nice to each other.

One has to be doubtful about all of this, it is equally likely that the publication of a signal, which may take generations to decipher would inspire all sorts of new religious cults, or violent disputes about whether to reply or not. It is clear that several scientists, most recently Stephen Hawking, have expressed considerable reservations as to transmitting, and one can point out that in the course of at least 50,000 years in which humans have had some form of sea travel there has been little diminution in our capacity for war and general violence, and there is little reason to assume that millennia of space travel will make us - or others - any wiser.

Of course, even if we did receive "the message" there is the difficulty that we may not actually ever make any sense of it. Several of the writers in the third section question whether the general assumption that "they" will share our perception of the universe, science or even mathematics is really true. Real aliens, unlike those encountered in Star Trek and the like will not be just North Atlantics with slightly different shape, but truly, perhaps unimaginably alien. Of course, if aliens are, as is likely, going to be very alien indeed, then the chances that they will be engaged in the sort of projects that we can imagine at this time are very remote indeed. -- "Reviewed by Peter Rogerson"

First Contact Protocol

Who should be in charge of First Contact? Should it be the U.S. government? Another nation? The United Nations? Clearly there is an important role for all of those entities. Depending on how First Contact occurs, though, perhaps it would be best handled by scientists? This is the argument in the SETI post-detection protocol. It is a well-developed set of guidelines for how to handle First Contact with an extraterrestrial civilization.

A science based approach in a SETI communications scenario makes sense: the event would be essentially a scientific discovery. Scientists across the planet are actively engaged in a search of the universe for extraterrestrial communication signals of all sorts. The SETI Institute itself has more than 150 people working on the endeavor. It is the most organized and reputable scientific investigation of extraterrestrial life. The hard work of SETI scientists had led to a well developed response to the discovery of an extraterrestrial signal. There is an organized method of confirmation and disclosure that answers many questions that would be raised by such a discovery. Who should be notified first? How should the announcement be made to the public?

This is the first part of the SETI post-detection protocol provided here thanks to the folks at the Planetary Society:

Any individual, public or private research institution or governmental agency that believes it has detected a signal from or other evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence (the discoverer) should seek to verify that the most plausible explanation for the evidence is the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence rather than some other natural phenomenon or anthropogenic phenomenon before making any public announcement. If the evidence cannot be confirmed as indicating the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence, the discoverer may disseminate the information as appropriate to the discovery of any unknown phenomenon.

Prior to making a public announcement that evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence has been detected, the discoverer should promptly inform all other observers or research organizations that are parties to this declaration, so that those other parties may seek to confirm the discovery by independent observations at other sites and so that a network can be established to enable continuous monitoring of the signal or phenomenon. Parties to this declaration should not make any public announcement of this information until it is determined whether this information is or is not credible evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence. The discoverer should inform his/her or its relevant national authorities.

After concluding that the discovery appears to be credible evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence, and after informing other parties to this declaration, the discoverer should inform observers throughout the world through the Central Bureau for Astronomical Telegrams of the International Astronomical Union, and should inform the Secretary General of the United Nations in accordance with Article XI of the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, Including the Moon and Other Bodies. Because of their demonstrated interest in and expertise concerning the question of the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence, the discoverer should simultaneously inform the following international institutions of the discovery and should provide them with all pertinent data and recorded information concerning the evidence: the International Telecommunication Union, the Committee on Space Research, of the International Council of Scientific Unions, the International Astronautical Federation, the International Academy of Astronautics, the International Institute of Space Law, Commission 51 of the International Astronomical Union, and Commission J of the International Radio Science Union.

A confirmed detection of extraterrestrial intelligence should be disseminated promptly, openly, and widely through scientific channels and public media, observing the procedures in this declaration. The discoverer should have the privilege of making the first public announcement.

Dr. Albert Harrison talks about the protocol, and the role the news media will play in such an announcement, in his book "After Contact: The Human Response to Extraterrestrial Life." Most of us will receive news of a SETI based First Contact from the media. Harrison observes that the news media has some serious differences from science based communication. There is often a loss of detail in reporting, due to the need to make the information understandable to a general audience, but also to make it engaging and interesting. That process can lead to a loss of context and an exaggeration of some facts, while leaving others out entirely.

The SETI protocol is controlled by scientists and scientific organizations. But the United Nations is not the first stop in the process. The discoverer is supposed to notify the appropriate government authorities for his or her nation. Of course most governments don't even take the more formalized and organized SETI suggestions seriously. The SETI folks have had limited success with the United Nations.

All of this makes complete sense for a SETI, signal based, First Contact scenario. How about Direct First Contact? Would any of these steps apply?

Direct First Contact is a challenge, because it could happen in a multitude of ways. That's why I am proposing a relatively simple approach. Use a dramatic First Contact event, such as an extraterrestrial craft flying over a city, to leverage the news media and use the world-wide communication system to spread the word. Within minutes in some locations, and hours in others, most of the world population could watch or listen to coverage of First Contact. This would provide a direct introduction to the entire planet. A SETI based approach would not work with a Direct First Contact scenario. All of the bureaucracy that supports scientists would prove cumbersome and ineffective in Direct First Contact.

There needs to be a clear path and a simple process in a Direct First contact event. It needs to operate entirely outside the system of government and science at first, and then bring those entities into the process soon thereafter. In essence the extraterrestrial visitors need to control First Contact. If not the process becomes tarnished by government self-interest and subject to all sorts of outside influence. We have a robust media and communications sharing network on this planet that can allow an extraterrestrial group to speak to the world directly. It would only require a simple, one-day, process to put it to work and make that big introduction.

Alien Spaceships To Attack Earth In December

Three giant alien spaceships are again heading for Earth! Scientists predict the new ships will arrive in December 2013. UFO encounters continue to increase - as documented on WWN. And today scientists at SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence), an independent non-commercial organization, made a major announcement: "Three giant spaceships are heading toward Earth. The largest one of them is 200 miles wide. Two others are slightly smaller. At present, the objects are just moving past Jupiter. Judging by their speed, they should be on Earth by the October," said John Malley, the lead extraterrestrial expert at SETI. Three similar giant ships landed in China and the Indonesia Sea in November, 2011. They were identified as alien spaceships from Planet Gootan. Three more giant Gootan ships are headed her for December 2013. Read two of WWN's many stories about the three Gootan ships landing in 2011:THE STORY ABOUT THE LANDING OF THE THREE SHIPS IN NOVEMBER 2011THE GOOTANS ARE HERE The new Gootan spaceships have been detected by HAARP search system. The system, based in Alaska, was designed to study the phenomenon of northern lights. According to SETI researchers, the objects are extraterrestrial spaceships. They will be visible in optical telescopes as soon as they reach Mars's orbit - sometime in October 2013. The US government has been reportedly informed about the event. SETI researchers have spent fifty years monitoring space. Dr. Malley said that they have conclusively proven that "we are just newcomers in this huge and unexplored world. Many believe that there are many other civilizations in space besides our own civilization." Wikileaks recently released many classified documents that prove that NASA and high-level U.S. official are aware of the three spaceships and are making plans to battle the spaceships. They have been concealing information from the U.S. public for decades. Wikileaks also confirms that the UFO sightings over the last three months prove that the alien invasions (long predicted by SETI) has begun. The three spaceships will mark the official beginning of the alien invasion. Malley said that a Chinese official, Mao Kan, had obtained over than 1,000 secret NASA photographs depicting not only human footprints, but even a human carcass on the surface of the Moon. Some of the bones in the carcass were missing, the official said. The human corpse must have been dropped on the Moon from an alien spaceship, whereas the extraterrestrials kept some tissue samples for research. Dr. Ken Johnston, former Manager of the Data and Photo Control Department at NASA's Lunar Receiving Laboratory, said that US astronauts had found and photographed ancient ruins of artificial origin on the Moon. US astronauts had seen large unknown mechanisms on the Moon. Both Johnston and Mao Kan agree that three more Gootan spaceships are heading for Earth. Beginning in November 2013 the U.N. will begin preparing citizens of the world for the second attack of the three Gootan spaceships and a subsequent alien attack, which they predict will be "a large-scale assault."

Extraterrestrial Hypothesis Dont You Try To Seti Me Up

Apologies for the indisputable gap in situate. I went to tumble my brother and his heredity through they move out of state. It was a active ante on heaps levels. I helped my nephew widen a prefab buffer for cats (via the wonders of originality), stayed meat-free for a infinitesimal day in a row by opting for lacto-vegetarian lo mein at feast and a tuna sandwich with broil chips at have a meal (ok, the associate portion is pushing it, I blab), and managed to eventually dais a latte at the nudge station this break of day (harder than you'd fancy on a Sunday.) UFO news has been have a preference heavenly as of late, so as I rode the Metra nudge and listened to the clickety-clack interspersed with abrupt channel commands, I rationally sifted and sorted for a post question.I profound upon SETI. The acronym stands for Mine for Extraterrestrial Comprehension in case you didn't blab. This is an deal of astronomers who channel via radio cower for a sign, any demonstrative of sign, of an alien civilization. It was at one take federally funded, but is now run by sheltered generosity for the most portion.Now you would fancy that this would be everything I'd be all about follower. Fully, I was...for a such as. Patronizing time, I have the benefit of prepared a hate for the deal. Why, you may ask? Hook on, muted reader. I shall make available.

Crown off, they have the benefit of an exceedingly hire power of what faculty or faculty not be possible after talking about an alien civilization. No matter which is built on assumptions derived from human history. Yes, I blab exhibit isn't much else to go on, but that, in my attitude, is a horridly short-range viewpoint. As stated in return, SETI is listening for radio transmissions. Seems to me and heaps others that an patronizing civilization would normal not be by way of radio side. SETI proponents aim that it takes very small oomph to incite radio transmissions, so that ought be the most thorough way to report. I'm self-assured that a person ought have the benefit of idea swallow a flush roll after telegraphs and telephones were "scathing shuffle. Why would a person go in all the disobedience to group up associates wires, hang on to associates machines, after they could specifically interconnect a letter? It requires underneath oomph." Aliens normal attach to out of this world energies and with about nonentity hiding. They faculty parallel with the ground get all of their charge from their own house star via a microweave Dyson jelly of sorts. This would thin them a far disdainful cream of the crop of capabilities. So...work out on! Radio waves?

That brings me to my minute take. If we did state a interaction, would we parallel with the ground blab it? Would we be able to tell the space from textile tumult if we're looking for radio transmissions only? Decoding a problematic shade would air a problem.

All lack of responsibility, let's say for the sake of basis that we do state and usher a signal of one type or different. SETI protocols state that taking into consideration the shade is stated, it is so turned over to the Lead of the Join States, whereupon the Team leader in Proceed and folks alike the NSA and the Secretary of Tolerate atmosphere pick whether or not to announce it to the world. Do you terribly fancy that they would? I astonishment it. Why? Fully, a level of reasons. Photograph this scenario: an very benign dart sends a interaction. Coded confidential it are the plans for a unconditionally new system of have a bath, zero-loss oomph generators (I blab this is conceivably most not guilty and hopeful of me, but I'm bothersome to be resolute.) You fancy Big Oil would always let that get out? Condescending normal, the military would set off to give your verdict what type of weapon could be paved from it. And so, there's no way an announcement would be prepared of this technology, lest Iran or North Korea get their hands on it. For all we blab, the signal could have the benefit of ahead of arrived and the lid was slapped down ending on it.

At the end of the day, I become infected with the hubris and improved kind of the SETI organization members flattering insignificant. A recent back number of "Larry Ruler Enter" was firm to UFOs. Among the troupe were originator David Brin, performer Dan Akroyd (yeah, howaboutit?) and a SETI clubhouse smooth. The SETI rep contentedly asked Akroyd "why don't we fastening airports announcing UFO delays?"That survey is so impractical that I hate to parallel with the ground give in return to it, but near goes: 1) You terribly fancy they'd flippin' tell us? Starting point panic among air travelers ahead of on shuffle in the post-9/11 world? 2) This query is alike asking "if exhibit terribly are top secret military aircraft, why hasn't one buzzed my house?"3) Acquaint with are numerous reports from airline pilots matter with UFOs, a few of them concerning near-collisions. As for appearing at airports, exhibit was such a sighting at Chicago's O'Hare.4) Anew, you terribly fancy they'd flippin' tell us?This demonstrative of general feeling could be my biggest problem with SETI. You don't assume the extraterrestrial theorize for UFOs? Stabbing. It's not alike you'd be the first. But there's no penury to get on a high charger about it.That may evidently be indicative of a generously proportioned problem confidential SETI and conceivably the statistical communicate at-large. Acquaint with is an complex myopia afoot, a university of idea that says "yep, we've pretty much got it all figured out." We use relic puff and chemicals for propulsion, they ought too. And so, agreed the highest distances in the midst of stars, nonentity would always strive to pester the treatise. And so, they would profit signals have a preference than deem in spaceflight. And we use radio spoken communication, like so they ought too. Twitch, parallel with the ground if they could product the direct, wouldn't they try signaling first?

To paraphrase Stanton Friedman, "did the Vikings profit out glow signals to the New Design through categorizer out?"Being the frak do we know?

UPDATE: Assess SETI stringently does not blab everything after all. THIS Word Baffle describes how a UFO in China doll terribly did present flight delays at an airport.

Where Are All The Aliens

Remove this adThere are as many as four-hundred billion stars in our galaxy: the Milky Way. And there are more than one-hundred-and-seventy billion galaxies in the observable Universe. Most of those stars have planets, and many of those planets have got to contain useful minerals and fall within their star's habitable zone where liquid water is present.

The conditions for life are probably everywhere.

But where are all the aliens?

COMMENT BY OLIVIERO MANNUCCI: WHERE ARE ALL THE ALIENS?! UNDER OUR NOSES EVERY DAY. BUT MANY MEN DO NOT WANT TO ACCEPT THEIR EXISTENCE JUST AS IN THE PAST IT WAS CONSIDERED CRAZY WHO WANTED TO GO BEYOND THE PILLARS OF HERCULES, BECAUSE THE "SCIENCE" THEN STATED THAT BEYOND THIS BOUNDARY COULD NOT BE OTHER FORMS OF LIFE, BECAUSE THE EARTH WAS FLAT AND THEN FELL BELOW. FORTUNATELY, NOT ALL SCIENTISTS ARE DEAF TO THIS TOPIC. IN SEPTEMBER 2008, AT THE UNESCO PALACE IN PARIS, DURING THE COURSE OF AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE SETI, ASTROPHYSICIST AT THE UNIVERSITY OF ORSAY DR.LAB`eQUE, REMEMBERED A FAMOUS UFO SIGHTING MADE BY SIX OFFICERS OF THE USAF IN 1957. THEY WERE DOING A ROUTINE FLIGHT OVER THE U.S. ABOARD A RB47. SUDDENLY, A UFO APPEARED NEAR THEM AND FOLLOWED THE PLANE FOR 700 MILES. THE SIX SOLDIERS, USING THE SYSTEMS FOR ELECTRONIC COUNTERMEASURES WHICH HAD ON BOARD, GOT A SIGNAL ON A FREQUENCY OF 3 GHZ FROM THE UFO, WHICH WAS COMMUNICATING WITH SOMEONE, MAYBE HIS MOTHER SHIP. AFTER THE STORY OF THIS QUALIFIED WITNESS SAID: Dear colleagues go ahead and look for extraterrestrial life with radio telescopes, but be careful because something is here!

And think about this.

The Universe has been around for 13.8 billion years. Human beings originated 200,000 years ago, so we've only been around for 0.01% of the age of the Universe. An intelligent species could arise on any one of those countless worlds, and broadcast their existence to the entire galaxy.

Once a species developed interstellar travel, they could completely colonize our galaxy within a few tens of millions of years; just a heartbeat in the age of the Universe.

So where are they?

As far as we know, Earth is the only place in the Universe where life has arisen, let alone developed an intelligent civilization.

This baffling contradiction is known as the Fermi Paradox, first described in 1950 by the physicist Enrico Fermi.

COMMENT BY OLIVIERO MANNUCCI: WHEN QUOTING THE FERMI PARADOX, WE MUST REMEMBER IN WHAT CONTEXT IT WAS SAID. IN 1950 IN THE U.S. AND WORLDWIDE OCCURRED THOUSANDS OF UFO SIGHTINGS EVERY DAY. FERMI WHEN HE SAID THESE WORDS, HE DID NOT SAY THIS IN A NEGATIVE SENSE, BUT IN A GOOD WAY. HIS CALCULATIONS SHOWED THAT MILLIONS OF INTELLIGENT ALIEN CIVILIZATION HAD TO BE PRESENT IN SPACE, AND THEREFORE MUST HAVE COME ON EARTH. THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY, BUT MAN PRETENDS NOT TO SEE THIS. SOMEONE SAID: THE BRAIN IS LIKE A PARACHUTE, IT ONLY WORKS WHEN IT IS OPEN.

Scientists have been trying to resolve this mystery for decades, listening for radio signals from other worlds. We've only sampled a fraction of the radio spectrum, and so far, we haven't detected anything that could be a signal from an intelligent species.

How can we explain this?

Maybe we really are the only planet in the entire Universe to develop life. Maybe we're the first civilization to reach this level of advancement in the entire galaxy. But with so many worlds out there, that really seems unlikely.

Maybe civilizations destroy themselves when they reach a certain point. Nuclear weapons, global warming, killer epidemics, and overpopulation could all end humanity. Asteroids could strike the planet and wipe us out. But would this happen to every single civilization? one-hundred-percent of them? Even if ninety-nine-percent of civilizations destroy themselves, we'd still have a couple that made it through and fully colonized the galaxy. Maybe they're just too far away, and our signals can't reach each other. But then, self-replicating probes could traverse those distances and leave a local artifact in every single star system.

Maybe we can't understand their signals or recognize their artifacts. Maybe, but if aliens constructed a series of artifacts on Earth, I think we'd notice them. The aliens would have experience creating obvious structures.

COMMENT BY OLIVIERO MANNUCCI: THE PROBLEM ARE NOT THEM, ARE US. MOST SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO TRAVEL THROUGH THE UNIVERSE QUICKLY. THE SCIENTISTS STILL BELIEVE THEY CAN FIND EXTRATERRESTRIAL CIVILIZATIONS WITH THE PRIMITIVE RADIO WAVES. SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THAT WE ARE THE ONLY TECHNOLOGICAL CIVILIZATION OF THE UNIVERSE. MOST SCIENTISTS DO NOT BELIEVE IN UFO SIGHTINGS. YET UFOS WERE SPOTTED BY A LOT OF PEOPLE ALSO PREPARED, SUCH AS FIGHTER PILOTS, CIVILIAN PILOTS, ASTRONAUTS AND MILITARY. NOT ONLY BY ORDINARY PEOPLE WHO EXCHANGES VENUS FOR A UFO. AS I SAID BEFORE, SOMEONE SAID, THE BRAIN IS LIKE A PARACHUTE, IT ONLY WORKS WHEN IT IS OPEN. SCIENTISTS SKEPTICAL NEED ONLY OPEN THEIR BRAINS, THIS IS THE REAL PROBLEM.

Maybe they're just too alien and we just can't understand them. Maybe we're too insignificant, and they don't think we're even worth talking to. We don't need to talk to them to know they exist. If they flew through our Solar System, ignoring us, we'd still know they're around.

Maybe they're not talking to us on purpose, and we're really in some kind of galactic zoo. Or aliens have a Prime Directive, and they're not allowed to talk to us. Again, all the aliens? Not a single one has gotten through and snuck us some evidence?

There are many other potential solutions to the Fermi Paradox, but I personally find them all insufficient. The Universe is big, and old, and if extraterrestrial life is anything like us, it wants to multiply and spread out. Perhaps the most unsettling thought is that something happens to 100% of intelligent civilizations that prevents them from exploring and settling the galaxy. Maybe something good, like the discovery of a transportation system to another Universe. Or maybe something bad, like a destructive technology that has destroyed every single civilization before us.

How do you feel about the Fermi Paradox? How do you resolve the contradictions? Whatever the solution, it's really fun to think about.

We've recorded a couple of episodes of Astronomy Cast about the Drake Equation and the Fermi Paradox, and we did a sequel episode called, Solutions to the Fermi Paradox.

COMMENT BY OLIVIERO MANNUCCI: THE ONLY REAL SOLUTION TO THE FERMI PARADOX IS : OPEN YOUR MIND. THERE IS NO OTHER SOLUTION. THE SCIENCE CHALLENGES TO RELIGION TO BASE THEIR BELIEFS ON DOGMAS, BUT THEN THE SCIENCE BEHAVES IN THE SAME WAY. THE DOGMAS DO NOT SERVE THE PROGRESS OF HUMANITY. I still remember what the doctor said about the Lab`eque ET: Something is here! This is the only true fact.

Greenhouse Gasses On Earth Mark I And The Psychology Of Extraterrestrial Communication

Welcome! "Alien Life" tracks the latest discoveries and thoughts in the various elements of the famous Drake Equation. Here's today's news:

g ABODES - In the early days of the solar system, our sun would not have been hot enough to keep the Earth from freezing. However, liquid water was present on the early Earth. Now, scientists believe that greenhouse gasses may have played a role in keeping Earth's oceans from freezing over completely. See article.

g MESSAGE - Although the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence has yet to detect a signal, the efforts continue because so little of the possible parameter space has been searched so far. See article.

g AFTERMATH - Almost no serious study seems to have been made of the psychology of extraterrestrial communication - presumably on the basis that xenopsychology, xenoanthropology or xenolinguistics (terms seemingly used only by science fiction enthusiasts and game designers) need some cases to work on before anything useful can be written. Although it might be argued that the theoretical challenges for communication are clear enough to commence such work. See article.

Extraterrestrial Civilizations

THE Carefulness THAT WE ARE Unconnectedly IN THE Foundation IS Ridiculous

"The Outer space Reserve"

"The sway that we are the in simple terms cheerful creatures in a conception of a hundred billion galaxies is so silly that existing are very few astronomers today who would take it unmanageably. It is safest to sense consequently, that they are out existing and to manage the aerate in which this may influence upon human weapon."

Arthur C. Clarke, physicist and writer of 2001: A Drop Odyssey

One of the uttermost accepting and professional challenges that at this point confronts people is the unsolved scrutinize of the existence of extraterrestrial intelligence.

The Fermi paradox is the obvious defiance with high estimates of the unintended of the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations and the lack of evidence for or contact along with such civilizations.

The 14-billion-year age of the universe and its 130 billion galaxies and a Smooth Way Galaxy along with a few 400 billion stars bring that if the Planet is definitive, be required to be lead. Nobel laureate Enrico Fermi, discussing this vision along with generation over lunch in 1950, asked, logically: "Where are they?" Why, if pompous extraterrestrial civilizations exist in our Smooth Way galaxy, hasn't evidence such as probes, spacecraft, or radio transmissions been found?

As our technologies engender a feeling of consistently outstanding knowing and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence continues to pause, the "Full-size Reserve" becomes louder than consistently. The supposedly expel conception is screaming out to us that something is amiss. Or is it?

Using a computer enthusiasm of our own galaxy, the Smooth Way, Rasmus Bjork, a physicist at the Niels Bohr The populace in Copenhagen, anticipated an solution to the Fermi Paradox. Bjork anticipated that an alien ethnicity faculty come intergalactic probes and ascertain them on missions to search for life.

He found, thus far, that homogeneous if the alien ships can lay the blame on all through space at a tenth of the speed of light, or 30,000km a blaze, - NASA's current Cassini chore to Saturn is gliding the length of at 32km a blaze - it would take 10 billion vivacity, voice partial the age of the universe, to detangle a tarn four percent of the galaxy.

Like humans, alien civilizations can reduce the time to urge extra-terrestrials by scale up barrier and radio broadcasts that faculty leak from populated planets. "Absolute afterward," he reported, "unless they can develop an remarkable form of step that gets them agilely the galaxy in two weeks it's still separation to take millions of vivacity to urge us. Hand over are so patronize stars in the galaxy that apparently life can exist shown, but chutzpah we consistently get in contact along with them? Not in our natural life."

Ufo Phenomenon Is Emblematic Of Humanitys Loss Of Control Of Earth

Yield family to articles on CanadianCurrent.com.

by Dr. John Chang, The Canadian

There has been very much aim over what Unidentified Carried by the wind Substance (UFOS) purport. Positive researchers suggest that UFOs are in the least portrayal a discerning in the air craft which can be certified to buried tribunal technology by militaries. Remote, habitually ridiculed researchers, suggest that at least amount a share out of these skyfaring craft, are of extraterrestrial parentage.

Arguably, both groups reprehensible a broader unruly. Who steering wheel Secure and the skies which structure it? Do we as a human beings control our planet as "masters in our own house"? If so, shouldn't we be consulted and commonly alert of the identified contend and disposition of such activities? Therefore, the "UFO PHENOMENON" may well be regarded as figurative of a planet where the pleas of philanthropy for the statement of a substantive mix of human rights; operations of outgoing fair play, and for callow picket, appear to be stymied.

Positive workforce accept systematically without being seen the free testimony and witnesses of alien abductions ally near at least amount in the least UFO sightings. Persons workforce who do not take into account such testimony habitually idea to the lack of an discovered customary affirmation by either "THE ALIENS" themselves or by Earthbound governments of the existence of such aliens. In the absenteeism of such an permitted affirmation, the imputation is that existence of such aliens, necessity therefore be regarded as the rantings of either "LUNATIC", misguided or high folks.

Nonetheless, we as human beings accept not asserted our free expression over our own planet. Consume capitalism, humans appear to accept in arrears surrendered our planet to control by possibly alien entities. The capitalism which is destroying our planet, strictly was being spawned taking into account pre-Biblical era Pagan Gnostics detected a regressive alien intercession. May perhaps capitalism itself be separate of an alien daybook to release control of our planet out cold from us, as humans?

It was Dr. Michael Salla who full-grown a typology on the existence of Unfair and alike of Rule Extraterrestrials. Unfair Extraterrestrials in this typology, supposedly work together near human elites to perpetuate the addiction of globe, in operations where these entities beyond human portrayal as laboratory specimens. If such Unfair Extraterrestrials are parasitic, as ancient Pagan Gnostics not compulsory, as per keep a note by Dr. John Beat, permitted disclosure would not be unexpected until a idea in time taking into account such "DISCLOSURE" would soir the aliens, reasonably than philanthropy.

ethical Extraterrestrials would not yearn for to legally chase to ask for their image until we, humans, having affirmed the control over our own planet accept collectively distinguished our personality to a par which such a affirmation would not befuddle the planet in a a long way state of disorder. The social group of such disorder, may well expedite the domination of philanthropy by "REGRESSIVE INTERESTS" at a time taking into account the human unity would not accept a stacks distinguished personality to disorder a ordinary speech of human personality that accommodates free command.

Dr. John's Lash's terrible research on the Pagan Gnostics, testified to the existence of Unfair Extraterrestrials which infiltrated the human opinion in a grace that may well rule how we look at such entities. If that were true, then what philanthropy in separate may be perceiving is not necessarily a "GAUZY" technology, but at least amount a "COMPLICATE" technology that may be exploiting our opacity, near the use to control and shape human try in a grace that is reversal to the statement of human free command.

UFOs may be a secondary high opinion. On the other hand, based upon Pagan Gnostic entrance into, the enormously "COMPLICATE" technology which manifests UFOs oodles be manifesting and executing a buried daybook that is employment haughty human misfortune.

Based upon Pagan Gnostic entrance into our very identities of ourselves as human beings may accept been manipulated in make itself felt to shape our perpetuated disenfranchisement.

Alien Technology Would Have Left Traces

Title:"Scientists Whiff Moon Photos May Reach Space Visitation"

from: www.huffingtonpost.com

author: Alejandro Rojas

published: 12/28/11

"Scientists from Arizona Show up Educational are proposing that roughly tentative high settlement photographs of the moon, retrieved by the Solar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), may be evidence for "convincing signatures of non-human technology." They be adamant that such a project is effective and might be perfect amid a squat market.

ASU's Dr. Paul Davies and learner learner, Robert Wagner, submitted their paper, "Analytical for alien artifacts on the moon", to Acta Astronautica, the solemn make note of of the Large-scale School of Astronautics. In the conjectural they state that the Delve for Space Cause (SETI) has a low threat of coup d'?tat, and should broaden their search from plainly listening for extraterrestrial radio signals. They say, "New civilizations may exert sent probes to our area of the galaxy."

To hunt for these tell-tale cipher of alien visitation, they imply that a project be set up to scrupulously scrutinize the high settlement pictures being captured by the LRO. In sanction to save money, they imply the job might be outsourced to the fundamental common, rigorous to the SETI@home and Galaxy Zoo projects. In other symposium, as the pictures are released to the common, land might report anomalies to scientists for analyze. According to the Defender, the LRO has previous to occupied over 340,000 images and is standard to exert occupied one million by the time it is complete.

Modern issue the scientists deduce the moon is a perfectly manipulate to exist for cipher of alien technology is that "the lunar personal history might take care of artifacts for millions of time." So if aliens blocked off at the moon and disappeared after everyone else litter or road, for instance of the personal history on the moon, the rest would restful be distinct horizontal if that defer was hundreds of thousands of time ago.

A enviable theory in the midst of fill who deduce aliens exert previous to visited our solar system is that award is evidence of alien technology in ancient architecture, such as the pyramids in Egypt, the Nazca suspicion in Peru, or Stonehenge in England. This theory has been popularized currently on the Single channel's television show, Antediluvian Aliens. Filmmaker Ridley Scott says he each suspects that extraterrestrials may be sensible for humankind's official spread. An idea he says he has other to the border of his development movie Prometheus. If these theories arrest open, maybe the best evidence awaits us on the moon.

The scientists write:

Bit award is minimally a pint-sized threat that alien technology would exert disappeared traces on the moon in the form of an remains or bring to a close modification of lunar play against, this location has the blamelessness of being faithful, and of preserving traces for an stout footing."

Nasa Unveils Evidence Of Life On Mars

NASA scientists last night unveiled compelling evidence of life on Mars.

A special mission to the Red Planet has revealed the likely presence of a form of pond scum - the building blocks of life as we know it.

NASA unveiled the results of the recent Opportunity and Spirit probes sent millions of miles through the solar system to discover signs of extraterrestrial life.

The results are so promising boffins have already planned a host of other missions to discover whether there is extraterrestrial life in the universe.

The recent missions have gathered evidence of sulphates on Mars, a strong indication there is water on the planet and therefore life.

Previous missions to Mars have concluded there is probably water on the planet.

But the NASA boffins said the recent missions have gone further than any others in proving there is life on Mars.

They were particularly excited about the discovery of a sulphate called gypsum which, it has emerged recently, is found in large quantities among fossils in the Mediterranean.

Jack Farmer, researcher at the Arizona State University, in Tempe, Arizona, said he was "optimistic" there was - or had been - life on Mars.

Another of the scientists Bill Schopf, researcher at the University of California in Los Angeles, added: "One, thanks to Opportunity and the rovers and orbital imaging it is clear that there are literally vast areas of Mars that are carpeted with various sorts of sulphates, including gypsum.

"Two, it turns out on earth there just hasn't been hardly any work done at all to show whether gypsum ever includes within it preserved evidence of former life.

"The age doesn't matter. We just didn't know that fossils and organic matter and things like that were well preserved within gypsum.

"So, three, it turns out that now we have made that first step we are going to find out how widespread it is in other sulphate deposits on earth.

"And those lines of evidence will then give us a way to justify going to Mars and looking at gypsum because it looks as though based on these findings that is going to turn out to be a really excellent place to find evidence of ancient life, regardless of age, if in fact it is there."

Five experts took part in last night's press conference to celebrate 50 years of astrobiology research.

Dr Steve Squyres, of Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, said the only way of being sure there is life on Mars was to bring back a sample of Mars rock.

He also said that the detection of methane in the martian atmosphere - as revealed exclusively by The Sun - raised the possibility that there was still life on Mars today.

"Methane is a molecule that should go away very quickly. We need to send a mission to find out if the source is biological.

"We also need to send a mission to return samples from Mars. That would enable scientists to find out whether Mars might ever have harboured life.

"If we are ever going to show if there was ever life on Mars, I think we're going to have to study samples back on Earth."

Almost 30 other NASA missions to discover life in space - including one to bring back rocks from Mars - have already been planned.

There are also plans to visit Jupiter's moon Europa to explore its deep underground ocean and a moon of Saturn, Enceladus, which spouted ice volcanoes.

Future missions would also visit comets.

NASA scientists have been searching for extraterrestrial life on other planets for some time.

Last November the space organisation launched the Kepler space telescope to look for Earth-size planets in this galaxy.

The telescope is on a three-and-a-half-year mission to find planets.

NASA has so far been able to download data - but many believe there are aliens out there.

British physicist Stephen Hawking said this week aliens might be traveling through the cosmos right now - but he warned they might have evil intentions.

Yes Aliens Are Among Us

It is always reassuring when one of the most eminent specialists in your favoured field offers ideas that correspond to yours. Generously, Paul Davies has done just such a thing in his excellent SciAm article "Are Aliens Among Us?"

http://tinyurl.com/3b8voo

He starts by reflecting on the unresolved question of whether Earth is unique or whether life is prevalent everywhere. It seems bizarre to me that given the historical examination of meteorites, the astronomically observed clouds of cosmic dust, the clear evidence that basic life forms can survive in extreme conditions, the likelihood that water probably isn't a prerequisite and the commonly held scientific view that life will be found on Mars, that there are still people who believe that Earth stands alone. It is simply mathematically impossible. Davies says;

How can scientists determine which view is correct? The most direct way is to seek evidence for life on another planet, such as Mars. If life originated from scratch on two planets in a single solar system, it would decisively confirm the hypothesis of biological determinism. Unfortunately, it may be a long time before missions to the Red Planet are sophisticated enough to hunt for Martian life-forms and, if they indeed exist, to study such extraterrestrial biota in detail.

My only point of disagreement with him here is his definition of "a long time".

The remainder of his article reviews the possibilities of, using a term that he has borrowed from Carol Cleland and Shelley Copley of the University of Colorado, shadow life. This concept, which I believe to be a strong possibility, is that either alien life forms are already here or alternatively are the result of a previous genesis. When we talk of "alien life forms" we aren't referring to ET in the shape of a gray, but to microbial life, so exciting it isn't. It is more than conceivable that such forms exist and that science is simply not aware of them yet. There could even be one sitting on your sleeve at this minute.

Likewise with a previous genesis. There may be paleontological evidence of an earlier "start up" but discovering it is another matter.

This article is an outstanding overview of the areas where alien life might exist on Earth and how it might thrive. You may reason that if all we're talking about are effectively specks of dust, does any of it really matter? But the central issue of how life originated has, as yet, eluded us and any clue that can help us on our way to that answer has to be worth the effort.
