One of the biggest paradoxes is that despite there being billions of other stars with earth like planets out there and according to the drake equation, there should be 100's or 1000's of advanced civilizations. But so far we have found nothing to prove that intelligent life exists anywhere else other than here on Earth. http://curious-droid.com/5tj0 Earth Isn’t As special As We like to Think We humans do tend to hold ourselves in high regard when it come to the rest of the Cosmos. For thousands of years we believed that we and earth, were at the center of the universe and everything revolved around us including the sun and the stars. We now know that our sun is just one of billions of very similar stars and earth is a planet that is not that special. We often think that aliens would want to come to our home planet for our resources, the water, minerals, possibly the life that exists here and maybe to communicate with us humans. But if an alien race is capable of travelling and communicating across light years of space and would be 1000’s or millions of years ahead of us in their development. They’ve Moved Out Of The Universe One reason why we have not seen an evidence of advanced civilizations is that they have evolved out of this universe to another or into another dimension. According to futurist John Smart’s Transcension Hypothesis, intelligent alien life once existed in our universe, yet it became so advanced that it moved on the sub atomic scale or inner space rather than outer space. Whilst this may sound like something from the pages of a sci-fi novel as lot of thought has been put in to it. To supporters of the Transcension theory, intelligent life evolves in much the same way that our technology has evolved. Which is to constantly work towards a denser, more efficient use of space, time, energy, and matter or STEM compression as they call it. Earth Is Special This is the rare earth theory that basically states that for the earth to form in just the right place with just the right conditions for life to thrive like it does, is so rare that we could indeed be the only advanced civilization out there. Even if there are other advanced species then they too would be in a similar situation and as such would be so few and far between that contact between us and them would be highly improbable. One of the major factors that makes Earth so well suited for life is the long period of relatively stable climatic conditions for hundreds of millions of years. This is due to the Earths unique orbit and position. If our precise distance from the Sun and Moon were different then Earth would likely be too hot or cold, have too little oxygen, and would be too unstable to support complex life beyond bacteria. We are unable to Recognize Extraterrestrial communications Whist we like to think that our technology is cutting edge stuff it could be that we are using methods of commutations that are just too primitive to detect other highly advanced civilizations. There is also the fact that just because aliens may come from an earth like planet, doesn’t mean that they would evolve like life on earth. This could mean that even if we picked up a signal we might not recognize it for what it is. Just think of the difference between us and bats. Bats use sound to see where they are going, we use light, the same could be for us and aliens that use totally different senses. We use a basic method of radio communication and expect that others would do the same. All advanced Life Hits A Stumbling Block According to the great filter theory, alien life exists but there are so many hurdles in the way that they cannot advance to a stage to make long distance space travel or communications. If we look at ourselves, we have space craft, satellites and radio but it’s still touch and go as to whether we can advance to a stage we could embark on interstellar travel without destroying ourselves or the planet in the process. And it’s not just our own self-made issues which could stop us in our tracks. Natural events such as asteroid impacts, gamma ray bursts or even super volcanoes like the in Yellowstone Park could all have a catastrophic effect on life on earth and could happen with very little notice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HttdxjYK7EQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IN1KJ8LYW3U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeGqCl3YAaQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-a-aCOscE4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZxLUNHEmPw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-H_HZVY1tT4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lQ2m-GSaX8E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1yfeEqcmaQ Galaxy 2005 The Return by Frank Dorittke is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/) Source: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Frank_Dorittke/Mare_Tranquillitatis/pcr018_cd02_02_fd_project_galaxy_2005_the_return Artist: http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Frank_Dorittke/
