Are We Alone In The Universe?
Filed under Science, 15 Comments,
This documentary investigates one of the most controversial questions of the past hundred years… are we alone in the universe?
This is not one those films that claims to have conclusive proof, but rather a look at the serious science of the search for extraterrestrial life.
The search for extra-terrestrial life has been going for 50 years – but there’s been a recent breakthrough. Astronomers have discovered a new planet called Gliese 581 c.
It is the most Earth-like planet ever found. It orbits a star and may have habitats capable of supporting life. NASA hopes to find 50 more Earth-like planets by the end of the decade, all of which increases the chance that alien life has begun elsewhere.

Surely there is alien life! the reason is just simple. We, on earth with other creatures, are to go may be in a few billion years by being eaten up by the expanding Sun! Well, if that ever happens and if there is no alien life, then who is to appreciate the existence of the universe? What is the purpose of the existence of the very Universe? Therefore it is worth looking for life else where in the Universe, and i am sure it is going to be successful in the near future.

This was a very good documentary in many ways.
Hum. I do have a question though. My question is if there are “space serpents” (see Secret Space) just at the outer limits of our own atmosphere, why the heck are we spending so much money and time looking for tiny little “star wobbles”? Let’s go get one of these space serpents instead! And I felt sorry for the poor SETI guy as all the thousands of UFO’s worldwide have been out of radio contact for his entire lifetime. Bummer. How rude of them.
On a funny note, they took one tiny “star wobble” and turned it into an entire “Earth Planet”! LOL That’s like taking a single pig’s tooth and making an entire “missing link”! Oh, sorry, they’ve already done that too.
Nonetheless, I really liked this documentary a lot. I love space exploration! Why are the documentaries I think are really good are the ones others enjoy whacking on the rating scale?
I’ll give it a “10″ because they admitted on the end they could be searching for nothing and we might truly be the only ones out here, and they admitted that the SETI bunch are doing so out of undaunted “faith”. Ah faith; what a lovely word. As I’ve said before, even the most ardent evolutionists have quite a bit of it.

Ridiculous! Reminds me of the joke about the drowning man who says to the two passing speedboats, ‘no, it’s okay God will save me’ he then drowns and goes to heaven where he asks God why he didn’t save him – and wearily God says, ‘well I sent you two boats!’
SETI trying to make contact? er like light travels much faster than radio signals so would not ET try and send communicate by light? Now imagine the technology of your laser pen, or something similar a thousand years from now. Balls of light with which you could draw circles on distant planets?
Now go and look at some crop circles guys!
These are largely ignored by the media, on instruction from Government. THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW!
They made contact years ago. research the ‘two most important crop circles’ DECIDE FOR YOURSELF!

Crop Circles:
Good idea! I know a lot about Crop Circles.
I think, they were made by Aliens since antiquity.
Charles: What do you think? where Crop Circles also made by your Demons!

Radio Waves travel at the speed of light in space or in a vacuum.
There are two propagation velocity’s.
One is permeability, the other is permittivity.
These velocity’s will cause the radio waves to travel slower,
example, “Atmosphere”

Mr. Razor: Yes, actually, I think it’s very possible some crop circles might have been made by demonic entities. My concept of the demonic is that they are not foolish ignorant creatures, but very intelligent enemies of all mankind whose soul purpose is to deceive and destroy.
I think wind might do some simple ones (I’ve seen such when I worked on a farm), others are cleverly planned out hoaxes, but some very complicated ones I’m not sure about the source.
My question is this: If the crop circles are landing sights, for ET’s, ok. But what would an alien’s purpose be for making them if it’s not a landing sight? If they wanted to contact us, they could just radio the SETI guy! I even suspect Mr. Razor would be delighted to entertain a few ET’s and show them around town.
Nonetheless, if there ARE aliens visiting Earth (which I highly doubt) and they ARE making crop circles, then they are most likely the dorks of the alien community and they’re using our fields as giant Etch-N-Scetch boards after downing one too many beers on a Saturday night! How rude!
I can’t see how God could have any purpose in their construction, so I highly doubt the crop circles are “divine” in any way.
Charlie: Do you really think that crop circles are made by light messages sent to Earth from outer space?

Charles B:
Why in the world would Aliens want to have a close encounter of the third kind with us? Or Seti etc:
When we at least become a class “One” civilization from our present class “0″ civilization and stop, or at least cut down, all the killings and wars then maybe they will visit us.
The Aliens are giving us subtle clues since antiquity, with the crop circles.
Your “darn tootin” I would show them around town.
I wonder what Alien females look like?, actually, I probably already took some out! (LOL)
Light messages are not that far fetched, there are video’s of balls of light flying around farmers fields prior to some crop circles.
Government is definitely keeping a lid on Aliens and Crop Circles from us Sheeple.

Razor: Ok. Interesting.

Why wont anyone study what Billy Meier was told. The contact notes. It explains everything about us. Who we are, why we are here, where we came from, where we are going etc.
Just google..

the only problem i have with this is that the SETI guys are assuming that aliens will use the same technology as we do, they assume that we as humans are on the same technological levels as civilizations who have the capability to travel across the universe. So to me, this fact just shows how arrogant as humans we are to think that we are as smart as other life out there.
and why all the government hate? remember, the government is your friend
they only want whats best for you

@ trainwreck:
The point is we are probably not as far advanced as some Alien civilizations, nothing to do with how smart we are.
We are still class “0″ civilization, when we get up to class “3″ civilization, then we will be shooting to the stars, but that might take thousands of years.
By the way…@ akohtum: Billy Meier is a scam, Google it, I was almost taken in also.

thats my point, until we as humans develop more advanced technology, i doubt that well be able to initiate contact with aliens, if alien contact were to be made in the near future, it would most likely be because they made contact with us, not vice versa

im not a specialist… but isnt it a little bit credulous to concentrate on *radio* transmissions? there may be so many other ways to transfer information. It would be smarter to use the money to study receiving different kinds of information transmissions.

@ TrustAcid:
Radio waves travel at the speed of light in space and in a vacuum.
I do not think we are advanced enough as yet, to transmit at multiple levels of “C”.
