The odds on meeting an Alien life form, excluding on GFY.
The odds on meeting an alien life form are so extreme, it's a wonder so many people claim to have met one or people believe they have been here so often. Here are the hurdles they would need to get over to arrive.
Humans are 500,000 years old, or longer. For a tiny micro fraction of that time we have been able to move under produced power, an even smaller amount of time to fly and the tiniest amount of time to get out of our own atmosphere. And we are still a long way from leaving our solar system.
As we get closer to traveling outside our solar system, we're consuming the Earth's resources at a rate that if we continue, we'll be extinct before we manage to solve the problems. Long before.
We have been to the Moon and found nothing of value, the technical advances we got out of the mission are nothing much and could of come far cheaper. There's nothing on the Moon to justify going again.
We have probes on Mars and so far the same applies.
Man always wants to know what is on the other side of the hill. If he finds wealth there, he goes back and occupies the land. If he finds nothing, he doesn't go again. Few people set up home in a wasteland like a desert. They colonise the parts that produce a profit.
So far we have no proof of any life in our galaxy. Maybe it's hiding or maybe it's so different we don't see it as life. More likely, we're alone in our galaxy.
Our galaxy the Milky Way is huge, often in ways few can comprehend. To travel from one side to the other will require solutions we are only dreaming about. No one has any proof of the theories they propose to solve the problem of the time it takes to fly fro A to B in the galaxy.
More to follow.
