Not sure if you know Christopher, but NASA and other affiliated organisations have stated that they have discovered 3,583 exoplanets in 2,688 planetary systems as of todays date. Most are found by detecting dips in light which occur when a planet passes in front of its star.
As a person with an astronomy degree, my world view is based on what NASA have said, however it is interesting to hear your speculation.
Very interesting Aaron. I did see this... I would appreciate your insight since you are an expert.
I enjoyed your talk earlier Christopher. I've got to say, I've never heard of accusations being made towards George W. Bush regarding intergalactic war previously.
The topic is interesting, and I talk a lot about it in day to day conversation, but I am always left with a question that is unanswered, and will likely remain unanswered for a long time: why have we not made contact with an alien species?
A number of possible answers arise:
1. We are alone in the Universe.
2. We are not alone in the Universe, but not a single alien species have the technology/time to contact us.
3. We are not alone in the Universe, but all alien species choose to abstain from contacting us (are we too primitive?).
4. We are not alone in the Universe, but the elite choose to not let us know.
I sometimes wonder if the fourth answer is true, but a part of me still sees the elite as too disorganised to keep a thing that big under wraps. The Manhattan Project was a difficult enough task to keep secret. The possibility arises that only a small number of the elite know about their existence however.
To summarise though, it seems more and more likely with each passing day and each discovery that the existence of an empty Universe is less and less likely; planets are in abundance.
Number 4. When you a Rob a House you Don't Do It at Night. U do It in Broad Daylight. They are Among Us IMO.
Jim Gates discovered computer code in super symmetry, could this be a sign that more advanced "aliens" have trapped us in some sort of hyper-dimensional space where we cannot contact outside of that perceptional paradigm and all contact narratives are controlled opposition to getting anywhere near the actual truth of our origins and perceptional context.
Very interesting speculation tabitstar.
Thank you, appreciate the topic and your open mindedness. The quantum reference point of consciousness can be polymorphic.
