I am a 28-year-old Norwegian lad fond of studying anything that has to do with space, astronomy, life, the universe and everything... :P
Most of the time I sit in front of the computer watching the SETI@HOME client...
I know..."Get a LIFE, fella!", you might say. My only response would be: "That's...what...I'm... tryyyyying...TO DO!!!!"...
Of course a REAL encounter between Me and Zlarrg from The-Yellow-Planet-Behind-And-To-The-Left-Of-Betelgeuse would be blimey good fun for both parties. Of course there is a chance of a reaction on one side of the table being something like "God damn it and blast it to hell!", in which case it would be blimey good fun for only one of the parties. And as to who would have the last laugh, only Mr. Smarty Pants knows... |

I firmly believe it is highly probable that extraterrestrial life exists. For the most part in the form of microbal lifeforms, but also as more or less intelligent beings. After all, we know that more or less intelligent beings exists here on this interstellar bypass that is better known under the name "Earth" - a word which origin probably stems from the first quite foreboding and raucous digestive sound of Grog the Caveman as he struggles to recover from the shock of realizing that he just ate a piece of very, very foul mammoth. Any furry bipedal being with an aspiring spine and minimal amount of intuition will agree that it would be a rather odd prank of nature if we are to be the only ones capable of adding one mandarin full of seeds and one pomegranate full of seeds and lo-and-behold arrive at the answer: three seedless clementines, thus discovering the lucrative nature of synergy. Of course this holds true simply because we count ourselves in that fancied brainy category. So how intelligent are WE? It would be intriguing to know how high on the ladder we actually would be placed in the "National Standard for Classification of Higher Lifeforms" among the Zlarrg's on The-Yellow-Planet-Behind-And-To-The-Left-Of-Betelgeuse. If we think about it - and we can because we believe we are quite capable of doing just that and therefore "we are" and so on - I believe the answer is actually NOT "blowin' in the wind", but perhaps more or less in the proximity of "most of the time a little less more than much less less intelligent"...or was that the other way around? Well, there you have it... But in spite of my spite (By the way, can I say that? Is that intelligent?) I believe the probability of the existence of extraterrestrial life overall, and me being a fairly intelligent lifeform, is so high that I can actually state the following hypothesis:
Extraterrestrial microbes will be discovered someday slightly AFTER tea-time, and the discovery of any extraterrestrial intelligent lifeform WILL be covered by the CNN. |
