Hi there,
I'm from a small,quiet,scenic town hidden deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains of southwest Virginia,USA.I'm 55 years of age and retired from the military.
I used my GI Bill to finish my education in geology at the University of Arizona and bummed around several other schools in the interim.My hobbies include placer mining(gold),astronomy(naturally),and the study of viable, statistical information concerning universal intelligence.
I would like to see,in my lifetime,a hi-tech listening device orbiting the globe solely for the purpose of locating intelligent signals from afar without the normal interference from our own planet.Not only would this be a great benefit to future space exploration projects but would greatly enhance SETI and the Hubble
Telescope projects.
I love the billiard table and its angles of projectories.If a person likes physics,they love pool. |

Most definitely life exists elsewhere outside our own tiny,inconspicuously,meager bubble that we call Earth.
There are more suns than all the grains of sands on every beach on earth.It would be pretty selfish for us to imagine that they were put there for a life species that has just emerged from trees and caves not more than 100 generations ago.
I imagine a picture of a fertile universe,teeming with diverse life forms:
The generation of life is a common event in the universe,a preferred form of self-expression of matter.Life exists not only on the solid surfaces of planets but we should find life in dense planetary atmospheres,in rarefied intersteller clouds,and even inside some stars.In various enviroments,very different lifeforms evolve,in harmony with the conditions present there.Some of these life forms would be familiar to us,but some would be so alien that we would have difficulty in recognizing them as alive.While a number of extraterrestial lifeforms could be even more primitive than bacteria,others may be quite advanced,with intelligence,other physiological capabilities,and technological achievements far exceeding our own.
