What would you think if definitive proof of alien life emerged? Would it consign all religious thought to, as Mark Twain once predicted, the fate of a stuffed ornament in museums? How would suggestive confirmation of the principles of uniformity and plenitude - that if life can form on Earth it can form anywhere and thus will for everywhere - mix with confirmation of the principle of mediocrity (nothing special about humans)? Would mediocrity impact humans relation with technology and would plenitude turn science skyward?

lol true ....maybe we have been burnt too may times about rapping the series up in two....we have lost our interest
Strange Eel, I thought this blog would be totally ignored, but maybe asking existential questions breeds better discussions than more earthly political questions?!
The Fermi Paradox and the absolute vastness of Space I think sways me to think there may be noone but us or at the very most, there is and we will be extinct before it is proven....
Religion is hope I guess. I dont mind HEYZEUS
The Fermi Paradox, I couldn't remember the name of it. That's what kind of convinced me that there is nothing out there that is hugely more developed than us.
Parra G, I wish there were more sci fi explorations of the Fermi Paradox. Or as Enrico Fermi said, where is everybody? One reason for positing the blog is because my daughter and I watched D-Day and then discussed the Dark Forest Theory, that ET stays hidden to avoid aggressive colonizer species. Douglas Adams of course gave the classic sarcastic answer to the Zoo Hypothesis, that we're being watched anyway, with the mice experimenting on us.
My bet is actually some form of the Filtering Hypothesis. Advanced civilizations might wipe themselves out before they get to come visit, or they might lose interest in physical exploring and become consumed by minimalia (like virtual reality or mindless consumption etc).
Are aliens from outer space or are they future humans time travelling 🤔
Well that's impossible , we are all going to die from climate change .
Maybe aliens are like the end of Battlestar Gallactica (remake), actually us settling here and going agrarian after inventing killer robots.
So I'm assuming from the comments on here that no one has experienced anything UAP related themselves
Till this day I haven't heard a better theory than South Parks Earth is a reality TV show.
The aliens reveal that eons ago, intergalactic network heads took different species (such as Asians, Hispanics, Jews, bears, ducks, and deer) from different planets and put them all together on Earth to televise the resulting chaos.
