Why have we not yet found proof of alien life? According to astrophysicist Avi Loeb, we simply haven’t dedicated the proper resources. Diving into unidentified phenomena such as the Oumuamua asteroid, he explores his scientific search for extraterrestrial technology, envisioning a future where a higher interstellar intelligence helps us improve life here on Earth.

The aliens are here on Earth, among us and parasiting on us.
We did not expect them, never in such a form.
But they seem to be helpful to us, making us comfortable.
And we give them friendly names for the most part. Like Rover, Caddy, Wanderer. Though some are called beasts.
We give up time to care for them and we genuinely care about our own pets.
Although they sometimes prevent us from getting up and walking away from them we don’t believe we are being held prisoners by these millions of automobiles.

Reading through the comments here is frighteningly reassuring reinforcement of currently accepted popular opinions, conceptions, and misconceptions of the scientific ideological mindsets of academically and research based biased methodology subjectively projecting the narrow-minded reasoning used to determine the worthiness of research into any one particular avenue of interests.
The equivalent of bolting the cabin door in the harshest winter storm, turning to the fireplace and telling yourself that you can’t hear anyone pounding on your cabin door.
Ignorance really is blissfully silent.

If you can take my word for it, yes we are NOT alone. Coming from an observer, seeing is believing yo!

Sorry SETI, but we have to determine other ways of detecting them. o7
@28blooddog
July 16, 2024 at 7:22 pm
I ain’t tryna trip but, imo black holes (upon creation) make a crease to an empty pocket universe, matter is deposited. Over time subsequent Black holes encounters add matter to the pocket universe. If and when a super massive black reaches some ridiculous size/critical mass it erupts through the crease blowing a hole through space time and in the pocket universe simultaneously; a big bang. Unless someone has a better idea, thats my conclusion. So we came from some other universe. Finally, don’t it make sense though? The biggest things in the universe are the ones responsible for the Big Bang. Fits tightly like South America and Africa o7

@burmabaines

Even very intelligent and educated people are subject to human behaviour, obviously. Loeb’s subjective views are very clear to see here. But the primary idea of science is to attempt to eliminate human bias. Here he fails miserably. It is not scientific to think life exists elsewhere in this universe. It isn’t scientific to think there isn’t. The only scientific response is “we don’t know”.

That would be a lot nicer than pulling up with a spaceship and much cheaper

This was rather uninteresting. NASA and other space agencies already spend billions on the search for extraterrestrial life. Spending more is not unjustified until some evidence is found.

Here is proof for me that aliens exist—excuse me, I cannot prove what I am about to say, but please bear with me, because this is something that does not compute in my mind. I don’t mind being the lone ranger on these facts, but they make no sense as a natural event. The moon is a sphere and it is exactly 400 times smaller than the sun and it is exactly 400 times closer to the sun than the earth which gives us perfect eclipses. It is a tidal moon, rotating once every 28 days and without the moon, the earth would rotate on its axis not the perfect 24 hours it does now, but every 6 hours and that would be curtains for most life as we know it. The earth is tilted at exactly 17.5 degrees to give our planet exactly four seasons. 24-hour-days, 60-minute hours, a moon that regulates the earth’s spin and gives us four seasons, being exactly in position as a sphere to give us perfect eclipses. Boys and girls, our planet was terra-formed. It is an opinion.

@t.n.-js6ei
July 19, 2024 at 10:56 am
Oh I believe you when you say that proof for your search to find aliens exists.
I myself see aliens almost every day, most of them come from either somewhere in Great Britain or France, usually here seeing the sights on vacation while others are here on work assignments, but mostly from England itself.
Now, if you’re talking about extraterrestrial beings, there is no proof, other than stories from someone who was either high, drunk, or just needed an excuse to avoid the spouse for he night, there ever been any sighting of actual extra-terrestrials and, sorry, no a UFO is not the same thing as a “Flying Saucer” or it would not be an “Unidentifiable” Flying Object. While I don’t believe that there aren’t any off-world sentient beings, until I see or talk to one personally they’ll remain fictional beings.

This guy is promoting himself as a daring heretic, fighting a righteous battle against dogma.
He is not.
Most astronomers are quite sure there most be plenty of life, out there in our Galaxy. And we are not stupid, we look for such life in all possible ways. Also note that it wasn’t Avi Loeb who discovered Oumuamua and determined that it had interstellar origins – so other astronomers *are* doing what Loeb decries we are not doing.
The issue is whether his analysis is sufficiently critical to come to the conclusions he makes. Remember, “extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence”. A theory stands until it is refuted. I have seen sober refutations of much of Avi’s work, and I don’t think he has found evidence for ET.
Avi also portrays scientists as full of hubris and believing we are the pinnacle of evolution – nothing could be further from the truth!

Here are some things Jesus Christ said of Himself.
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” John 14:6
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16
“Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” John 3:18
Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by my Father in heaven. Matthew 16:13-17
Skeptics said for centuries, said “The bible we have now has been corrupted through the centuries.”. In 1947 the Dead Sea Scrolls were found and proved otherwise. They said, “There’s no way Israel can become a nation again as God promised in preparation for the end times.”. Israel became a nation again in 1948.
All this being said, it does require faith to believe. Hebrews 11:6 tells us, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Also John 20:27-29 states, “Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Don’t be deceived, Jesus is the Son of God and the only way of being saved from God’s judgement for our sin. Christ consciousness won’t save you. Believing Jesus was an ascended master, a prophet or a good teacher won’t save you. Romans 10:9 tells us how to be saved, “if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved”. Trust in Him, He shed his blood and gave His perfect life for you. Call on Him, He loves you, and He hears you.

When the debate turns to the universe, my brain unconsciously reflects on infinite paths toward the truth. Yet, I recognize my ignorance; if the universe is infinite, it contains infinite information, while my brain has limits on understanding what is hidden there. By knowing myself and my limits, I understand my five senses, which gather data from the outer world and upload it into my (~98%) unconscious mind. There, this data is processed millions of times in the background, trying to reflect the best-processed information into my (~2%) conscious mind, where I can choose what to express to the outer world.
However, the depth of how this data is processed is immense and perhaps an infinite story to tell. Asserting that we are alone is foolish; infinity implies different dimensions or creatures existing within each other at different scales and governed by different physical laws, where time can move faster or slower.
In the end, I accept my ignorance because I cannot prove anything about my perception. I don’t even fully understand how I am here now, writing to you about my experience. It’s a strange phenomenon. The universe is like a vast dataset that our microscopic brains cannot fully process, which is why we continue without definitive proof. A calculator cannot create 3D models, after all!

I don’t like conspiracy and stuff but considering the unimaginable size of the universe, if we can exist by one thing leading to another, so can other things. There are infinite possibilities. The problem with our universe understanding of “aliens” is that we see them in our own image, with bigger heads and bigger eyes etc. But another life can be totally different from us. The thing that we call life might not make sense to other things in the universe. So aliens might actually exist, in a way we cannot even imagine.

in the scope of the universe we are but an immature, ignorant, arrogant species with a proven track record of being very good at destroying one another and our own environment. seems the human species has engineered its own demise. the planet will survive. humans, probably not.

They are already here. I’ve seen one in broad daylight. It was amazing. It’s the kind of thing that no one believes until they see it with their own eyes. It was a clear and pleasant day. He run very strangely, as if you filmed someone running and then edited the video by cutting out a few frames. It didn’t reflect the light. I felt like he was worried about not being seen. He was very tall and slender. Very fast. It only took seconds to travel more than 100 meters. It’s lonely to have seen something so incredible and no one believes it. I’m not one of those fanatics, but it’s hard to ignore something like this. It wasn’t like a black shadow that you see in your peripheral vision and then the image disappears. I also had full mental faculties. I was in the farm yard and was about to feed my carp. I made direct eye contact and for several seconds. When I thought “I need to catch up to him.” soon after he disappeared. Maybe they see us as rats. Maybe he was just passing through. Maybe it came from another time. Maybe they think we’re not ready yet (and, let’s face it, what kind of message do we give someone about ourselves?). Thank you for your alterity and for reading my comment.

Just because we can never see or hear or find them, doesn’t mean they don’t exist. It’s just too much space between.

Mrs Richards: “I paid for a room with a view !”
Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) “That is Torquay, Madam .”
Mrs Richards: “It’s not good enough!”
Basil: “May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plains?…”
Mrs Richards: “Don’t be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!”
Basil: “You can see the sea, it’s over there between the land and the sky.”
Mrs Richards: “I’m not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction.”
Basil: “Why?! Because Krakatoa’s not erupting at the moment ?”

Well …. … where to start… the big bang itself says there is life out there … 😅 guess how ?
And statistics human evolution mechanisms dynamics… clear;y indicate it started far before and ewen if it just started on milkyways this part…. milky ways this part is circulating around galaxy… which ewen on micro and only one e,ergence of life case.. which is mostlikely not the case but ewen if life appeared only and first on earth its in big probably spread wherever splar system passes…😊😮😅

I have seen this too just keep looking to the sky… (pick a point, or a star in the sky and observe same place, spot for about 10 mints, if not then pick a new location and do the same thing again till you able to see)!! Try not to get interfered by other moving objects it works for me. Also let me know your thoughts thanks
