Life Aspects

Is there life outside the Universe? This is the question that haunts us.



Many people believe that we are alone in the Universe, mostly due to religious beliefs. Only one God and we are Its only creation. I must confess that I am completely agnostic, although this does not interfere with any of my theories.

But are we really alone? Scientist throughout the centuries have been interested in what lies beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. Earlier scientists, like Galileo, have been thwarted by the early church, which in a try to protect itself disrupted many new scientific revelations. Discoveries were then maintained in secrecy, exchanged only between trustworthy people like other scientists. The discovery rate was slow but steady.

The many discoveries made lead us to today. We live in an era of such technological and scientific richness that we are surrounded in our daily routines by technology and science. Many people probably don’t think how a microwave oven works. How an electrical heating system produces heat. How a cell phone transmits its signal. We are surrounded by science and technology, although barely felt.

This leads us to our ultimate question: Are we alone in the Universe?
As said before, we don’t pay much attention to the scientific discoveries related to Space. Many people think it is a waste of time and money. But the Universe is immense! Bigger than anything we can think of! Quoting from the movie Contact: “The Universe is a pretty big place, it is bigger than anything anyone has ever dreamed of before. So, if it is just us, seems like an awful waste of space, right?” I believe this says it all.
We can not pretend that we are alone in the Universe. Somewhere, in the infinity of it, there is some kind of living being, maybe not carbon based like us, but still living nonetheless. It is also possible to find an energy like being, no body, just mind and intelligence. It would be a dream come true to all of us life seekers.


Maybe the ET is out there, somewhere, not calling home, but calling us!



UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) can be the proof of life outside Earth, as it can also be our imagination or even our governments’ military forces. We must consider other carbon based beings, more intelligent and more advanced than us. Their civilization might be older than our's, had more time to evolve, as well as not having the religious concerns that slowed us down.


If we are alone or not, no one knows. It is up to us to decide in what to believe. So let us keep our minds and the Earth's boundaries open to our interstellar neighbors!

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!
