| My name is Gernot Semmer, living in Nuremberg, Germany. I got my nick from ABBs song "Soulshine". Listen to it and you know why ... I have a wide span of interrests: shooting stars, photography, dancing Salsa, listening to bands like ABB, Little Feat and the US jam band scene (Phish, String Cheese Incident) collecting pin ups B), cycling and, of course, SF in various kinds. |

First: YES there IS!!!! live "out there". Some kinds of bacteria and virus of course. Then some kinds of animals, very simple. Maybe just some higher developed form of bacterias, eating others. And at last "mushrooms", also very simple, not that kind crowding your garden. I see mushrooms as a lifeform of its own besides plants and animals.
Is life on other planets like or similar to ours? Definitely NOT!!! No such visitors like the faked ones at Area 51. Maybe it's only our planet hosting such curious creatures like we are. Maybe it's the mutation of XX chromosome into XY chromosome -- which made males like I'm one of them -- that causes us to build plants, cars, planes, TVs and finaly radiotelescopes, listening to space. And life on other planets with no XX-chromosome or whith no XX to XY mutation might not be so curious to listen into space, or even sending messages into it. Not to mention plants, cars, planes, TVs.
Now you might ask yourself why I'm participating in SETI. Well: you've read my many "maybes". Yes: maybe there IS at least one planet with creatures at least half as curious as we are. Looking and listening to space and "speaking" to it. And THIS tiny chance we can't miss!
But don't expect Spock, Yoda and the Minbari out there. One look at our "brothers and sisters" could beat our weirdest fantasies and shake our bones with fear and horror. |
