| Age 54. Married. UK citizen living in London. I publish a 'solutionist' magazine for people who are interested in entering consumer competitions. Hobbies are entering competitions, caravanning, fishing, photography, metal detecting, gardening, reading - in short a really boring example of life on Earth. |

Extraterrestrial life definitely does exist. I'm so sure of this that I'll write out a guarantee to anyone who asks. It may be a while before we find ET though and then 'he' may turn out to be an amoeba - or a lichen.
Benefits of finding ET would be that we would be certain we were not alone and this would give added impetus to get started on space exploration. We may also gain knowledge of scientific advances from them - or perhaps we could give them some of our knowledge.
I don't see any immediate dangers from ET. Space is big (as Douglas Adams said) and any civilization with the technology to cross the light years will have plenty of planets to choose from without the need to go to war. Dangers may develop after a more prolonged/closer contact if fundamental differences in outlook and behaviour cause friction. |
