No thinking life form could possibly take us seriously.

Steven Hawking nails it
Posted: 04-22-08 19:26pm

Quote:

If there is life elsewhere in the universe, Hawking asks why haven't we stumbled onto some alien broadcasts in space, maybe something like "alien quiz shows?"

Hawking's comments were part of a lecture at George Washington University on Monday in honor of NASA's 50th anniversary. He theorized that there are possible answers to whether there is extraterrestrial life.

One option is that there likely isn't life elsewhere. Or maybe there is intelligent life elsewhere, but when it gets smart enough to send signals into space, it also is smart enough to make destructive nuclear weapons.

Hawking said he prefers the third option:

"Primitive life is very common and intelligent life is fairly rare," he said, then quickly added: "Some would say it has yet to occur on Earth." (emphasis mine)

I love it haha. Don't you think, though, that there are elements and different atomic ingredients and make-ups that exist far beyond us that we can't even comprehend? And maybe extraterrestrial life exists because of these undiscovered or uncomprehendable elements? It would result in "life" that we can't even understand... maybe even "life" isn't a suitable word... existance maybe? I don't know... i've always been one to think that the universe is far more complicated that we can ever imagine and projecting our narrow worldviews onto it and making assumptions about "intelligence" and "life" are kind of naive. Ambitious, yes, but naive. I think maybe one day we will figure it out... and we will realise our naivety. I suppose it's a natural stage in our cycle of discovery. I'm not saying I don't believe there's something out there.... I just think it could be far far far more incomprehensible that we could ever imagine. Am I making any sense?

didn't someone just admit to this one? it was a hoax. it was on the news this morning that they were just weather balloons with lights on them or something. i, for one, believe there is very likely intelligent life out in space somewhere but i don't really believe in "flying saucers." i think if an alien race were going to take the trouble to travel the impossible distances between solar systems or galaxies, they would at least take the trouble to call first and a)make sure someone is home and b)see if we are even worth visiting. i think the scenario in a movie like contact is much more feasible when it comes to encountering extraterrestrials. i don't think they would just drive 50 million light years and pop in on us just because they were in the neighbourhood.

they were talking about the ones seen in phoenix: Lights over Phoenix a UFO hoax Buzz up!Like this story? Share it with Yahoo! Buzz Unusual red lights that hovered over Phoenix on Monday night captured the attention of Arizonans and reprised an infamous UFO siting in 1997. Alas, it turns out it was just a nocturnal prank, according to local media: The man, who did not want to be identified, said he used fishing line to attach road flares to helium-filled balloons, then lit the flares and launched them a minute apart from his back yard. He said he believed turbulence created by a passing jet caused the balloons to move around. ... “I feel bad for the people freaking out about this,” Lino Mailo, who watched his neighbor launch the balloons, told the Arizona Republic. “I could've put this whole thing to rest.” Here's how another writer at theArizona Republic (a Gannett cousin of USA TODAY) initially explained the light show: There were absolutely four lights. They appeared to hover in the sky. They looked red or white, and they flickered. They were visible for nearly 15 minutes on Monday night. The lights were seen by, among others, a Phoenix police-helicopter pilot, air-traffic controllers and a reporter. There was even an extended videotape. But the lights were a mystery. A mystery that generated a lot of interest. ... Here are photos. Many residents recalled the "Phoenix Lights" of March 1997. A Village Voice writer who worked in Phoenix at the time sets everyone straight (mostly the media) about that night's two events and the official explanation for only one. UFO Evidence has an archive of articles and documents pertaining to the "Phoenix Lights." YouTube has a "documentary." Over at LiveScience, the Bad Science Columnist offers this reminder of the danger of gullibility: The light show of 2008 shows just how easy it is to fool the public and create a media stir. All it takes is a few balloons and flares, some spare time, and a mischievous streak. don't know about the texas one. maybe it was a flying wal mart. that would be reeaally scary.

I hear what you are saying, marvel. An alien could exist in a different dimension entirely or something we cannot even fathom.
