The blog that makes sense of it all.
You are tripping. Here’s why. Despite Star Trek and Star Wars, interstellar travel is impossible for either us or the aliens (who are probably out there somewhere). No one can approach the speed of light. Maybe you might make 0.10%. The closer to the speed of light (relative to your departure point) the exponentially amount... Continue Reading →
A decade is only 10 years. It is highly unlikely that even microbial life of extraterrestrial origin will be identified by 2028. Our best chance of finding life comes from two realms. Within our own solar system on the moons of Jupiter and Saturn, and from space from the SETI program (Search for extraterrestrial intelligence),... Continue Reading →
We could not visually see life on other planets, but we might be able to detect life by radio transmissions or other means. Take for example the most interesting star in the galaxy that we know about. To quote a recent article in The Atlantic, “Astronomers have spotted a strange mess of objects whirling around a...

I know a lot of aliens, but most of them are from Earth and some people want them deported. I don’t know any advanced aliens from other planets, but we might have contact with extraterrestrial life in the form of cosmic dust that comes from micrometeorites that enter our atmosphere from space and drift down...

What is intelligent life? When we speak of “intelligent life” we need to define what that entails. For example, bacterial life is not intelligent. But what about a dog? Suppose we found a dog like creature on a planet. It can respond, be happy, be angry, even be loyal. A dog is certainly not a... Continue Reading →
The closest aliens somewhere out there are likely to be way technologically behind us, not ahead of us, because they are likely to be bacteria. You see, when you say “aliens” you probably mean “intelligent aliens” but then that could include critters similar to whales, dogs or pigs, for if we found creatures of any... Continue Reading →
Well, the question would be better for me if you had asked “If I had to make a choice, would you rather live on Mars or Venus?” Because quite frankly, living on either planet is not a good idea. However, of the two, Mars is better because Venus is too hot and rains sulfuric acid... Continue Reading →
Why? You want to do it? The first thing is to go there, and probably outside our solar system because we’ve pretty much claimed everything here already. Next, plop down your own flag and hope someone more powerful than you doesn’t show up after you.
Aliens have a dual definition: the people Trump wants out of the USA and the people from outer space. Since people from outer space are called aliens, then it matters not whether they are from Mars or somewhere else. They are aliens. Therefore, "alien", "Martian" and "extraterrestrial" are synonymous, except not all aliens come from... Continue Reading →
