Hello, today lets talk about a topic that has been buzzing around on a few space science podcast Ive been listening to this last few day. The topic is Aliens naughty or nice? Yesterday i was listening to "StartTalk" with Dr. Neil De-Grass Tyson. He and his co-host were discussing the ways in which an Alien race might contact us and reasons why they would. One of the most realistic ways in which I believe we would be contacted was brought to us by the mighty cosmologist Carl Sagan in his Novel that was later evolved into a great scientifically correct movie called "Contact". In the book a very persistent (which is the only way one can describe a person willing to every day sit and scan every possible radio frequency known to man with her ears. Listening for any sign of a signal from a intelligent life form, hour after hour day by day year after year) who one day get her lucky break and discovers the find of the millennium a signal the is clearly from a intelligent life source. After careful evaluation of the signal video a underlining video recording is found underlining the audio signal and when they pick apart the video the find another layer of data containing tens of thousands of pages written data coded of course. Once they crack the code and figure in what order the pages go ( another cool fact is that the alien race is so smart and officiant that instead of arranging the pages like a book the are put together in cubes to fit even more data than humanly imaginably possible) they discover that the data is in fact detailed plans of how to build a massive portal to transport people (they have no idea where though, they can only assume its to a star "Vega" which is where the signal is eliminating from) so they build the device. Which is cool because the impact of being contacted by a interstellar intelligent alien race finally gives the proper motivation for the countries of the world to engage together in a peaceful project, with the prospect of the greater good of all humans in mind. So after much hard work this mega machine is created. Ok sorry i have to go to work i will finish this masterpiece later tonight so stay tuned there is so much more to cover and discuss, including the opinions of Professors, Steven Hawking, Brian Cox particle physicist, and Micho Coku and much . more!!!!!!!!!.................
Ok I'm back sorry it took so long I'm sure everyone has been on the edge of your seats, Ive had a few medical issues. Ok so the humans build the machine and the scientist who discovered the signal is eventually chosen to use the machine and travel to the source of the signal. After being transported through what the movie describes as a worm hole she appears on a beach of a world and is greeted by her dead father(they say its because its the from she would easiest be able to connect with) anyway the being tell her that this is just the first step in a long line of steps to evolve our species into a class 2 species. So the movie depicts this alien race as a "goodwill" species.
This is where Professor Hawking differs. he chooses to compare any would be visitor alien race as the early British and Spanish colonist. As they were more tech advanced they chose to exploit the indigenous peoples for all they could. Hawking believes that this is the way it naturally is across the board across the universe or universes. we will get into multiple universes in a later post.
As for Professor Micho he says that anything is possible and it could go either way. He defines the the different classes of species. for example the professor says that currently humans are at a tier 1 which means that we are guided mainly by greed and use non renewable resources and communicate through what he deems primitive means. Where as a tier 2 species is defined as communicating with out sound or taking just using thoughts or just our minds. also the we will have put renewable resources as our main consumption because we will finally get it through our heads that we must be able to tap and use things that will last and wont hurt us at the same time!!! Dr de-grass talks about how there is just no possible way that there isnt any other life in our universe because he cannot fathom such a waste of space and frankly neither can I. well that does it for this post let me know if i need to be corrected on anything or if you wish to add to the conversation until next time keep looking up!!
