    I for one have seen first hand that we are not alone. While camping alone in Nelson Victoria Australia. I encountered a ship roughly 40 metres in diameter. It approached me with no sound around it's perimeter just above the tree line. It appeared to be either cloaked or semitransparent. Don't know if some time was unaccounted for but the last thing I remember is the ship hovering above me then shooting directly upwards then disappearing out of sight in the matter of a couple of seconds, literally!!
    Have not been camping since!

    I think life is exceptionally rare. The Drake Equation doesn’t factor in gas giants that suck up planet destroying asteroids, or a single moon that controls your ocean and stabilizes the planet. Or just being further out in the galaxy and away from the center.
    Now consider the the first stars had to be born and die for the heavy elements to even be created, and I think there’s a chance Humanity could be one of the first/ early races.

But yeah, the point is to get work into front of other scientists for peer review, so obviously there’s a pathway for it. What I don’t like is people quoting papers without quoting the peer review. That’s where it falls down a bit for the lay person. That’s how people get manipulated etc. papers get quoted when if you check them the peer review by other scientists is ripping them apart.

    If the universe is infinite then there would be an infinite amount of alien civilizations. An infinite amount of type 0, type 1, type 2, and type 3 civilizations too and even beyond type 3.
    However, the universe isn’t infinite because if it was and if it is the way scientists claim it is with all the infinite civilization types, we wouldn’t be here.
    Instead, the universe is a carefully crafted reality created for us and by A Creator.

    As an interested layperson, I'd like to respectfully suggest that the discussion on the search for extraterrestrial life might benefit from considering a broader range of possibilities. While I greatly appreciate the scientific approach, I wonder if we might be inadvertently limiting our perspective based on our terrestrial experience.
    Consider the following points:
    1. Non-water-based life: We often assume that water is essential for life, but could there be life forms that evolved to thrive in entirely different chemical environments?
    2. Alternative biochemistry: Might there be organisms that breathe elements or compounds unfamiliar to Earth-based life?
    3. Exotic physical states: Could life exist in states of matter or energy configurations we haven't yet discovered or understood?
    4. Multidimensional existence: Is it possible that life could develop and exist in dimensions beyond our current comprehension?
    5. Technological or post-biological entities: Should we consider the possibility of advanced artificial intelligences or beings that have transcended biological limitations?
    Furthermore, if we expand our considerations beyond the purely scientific realm, we might also ponder:
    6. Metaphysical factors: How would the existence of a divine being or beings affect our calculations and assumptions about life in the universe?
    While I deeply respect the scientific method, I believe that in pondering questions as vast as the existence of extraterrestrial life, we should remain open to possibilities that may currently lie beyond our scientific understanding or imagination.

    I call bullcrap on the "equally" part. Yes aliens could be dangerous but I think its worth the risk to try to make contact and I take COMFORT emotionally in the possibility that there could be others out there. I think being alone in the universe is way scarier.

    It’s real simple. Look at high resolution Star maps of our galaxy, get your head around the sheer size and scope of what you are looking at, then look at all the surrounding galaxies - I mean really look at them, and keep doing this daily because you will never reach the end of what is photographically available. Get onto simulations of space and have a good look around. Better yet, get hopelessly lost and try and find your way back to the one single star you believe is host to life in the cosmos. Then go and spend a few hours every night looking at the stars with your own eyes, it’s a good bet you’ll notice that it’s Las Vegas up there and there is a lot of traffic coming and going. It’s clear to this RUclipsr right here that it’s not even a question anymore. Not only is the universe full of life and civilisations, it’s clear that we are being kept in the dark about it which if true is reprehensible and traitorous. It make one wonder if there isn’t foul play afoot. Perhaps we are farmed like animals. I’ll even go so far as to suggest that a lot of our tech is alien in origin and that for the most part no one even knows where it originated but is in fact shared around.

    Seems to me like there's basically two models for how aliens who find us might behave, parallel to the two models for what happens when advanced human civilizations come in contact with humans still living a hunter-gatherer lifestyle: either you conquer and exploit them (the "Christopher Columbus" model) or you do what we currently do with the handful of "uncontacted peoples" still out there today: allow their development to interfere unimpeded (Star Trek's "prime directive" model). The numbers these two lay out here make it seem highly likely that there is other life out there in the universe, but what they don't discuss is how our current understanding of physics makes it basically impossible to ever travel any other star in the universe. If aliens have come to visit us, they're so much more technically advanced than us, they would look at our nuclear wars the way we look at a bunch of lions fighting over territory. I can believe that they would conquer and enslave us. I can believe they would use their advanced technology to observe without our knowledge. What's hard for me to believe is that they would just zoom around military bases flashing lights and getting everybody all worked up for no obvious reason.

    To be fair, our little Milkyway galaxy is unfathomably vast let alone the observable universe.
    Just to put things into perspective a little bit. Even we could travel at light speed, which no matter can btw(we know of), and that's 1 billion 80 million kmph, it would take us roughly 200,000 years to traverse just our little galaxy.
    Now, we can't travel that fast our anything close(and if we could we'd need to factory velocity time dilation too)) and there's usually several galaxy sized distances between each galaxy and more galaxies than we can see... it's just mind blowing and incomprehensible for our little chimpentine brain to guage just how depressingly unreachable anywhere outside our solar system let alone our galaxy or the universe is!
    The real problem for us is time. We just don't love very long individually, just a click of the fingers. However, our artificial intelligence can theoretically exist without such deadlines(no pun intended)) and can be forever while evolving and accomplishing more in just a tiny fraction of what it takes us. Humbling to think that such a brilliant and potentially terrifying entity based on "AI" owes it's existence and origins to a brief civilization of angry chimps. The legacy of the short lived fleshy creatures that were so frail and vulnerable and limited.

    A segment from 'Saved by the Light of the Buddha Within'...
    My new understandings of what many call 'God -The Holy Spirit' - resulting from some of the extraordinary ongoing after-effects relating to an NDE...
    Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what some scientists are now referring to as the unified field of consciousnesses. In other words, it’s the essence of all existence and non-existence - the ultimate creative force behind planets, stars, nebulae, people, animals, trees, fish, birds, and all phenomena, manifest or latent. All matter and intelligence are simply waves or ripples manifesting to and from this core source. Consciousness (enlightenment) is itself the actual creator of everything that exists now, ever existed in the past, or will exist in the future - right down to the minutest particles of dust - each being an individual ripple or wave.
    The big difference between chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo and most other conventional prayers is that instead of depending on a ‘middleman’ to connect us to our state of inner enlightenment, we’re able to do it ourselves. That’s because chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo allows us to tap directly into our enlightened state by way of this self-produced sound vibration. ‘Who or What Is God?’ If we compare the concept of God being a separate entity that is forever watching down on us, to the teachings of Nichiren, it makes more sense to me that the true omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of what most people perceive to be God, is the fantastic state of enlightenment that exists within each of us. Some say that God is an entity that’s beyond physical matter - I think that the vast amount of information continuously being conveyed via electromagnetic waves in today’s world gives us proof of how an invisible state of God could indeed exist.
    For example, it’s now widely known that specific data relayed by way of electromagnetic waves has the potential to help bring about extraordinary and powerful effects - including an instant global awareness of something or a mass emotional reaction. It’s also common knowledge that these invisible waves can easily be used to detonate a bomb or to enable NASA to control the movements of a robot as far away as the Moon or Mars - none of which is possible without a receiver to decode the information that’s being transmitted. Without the receiver, the data would remain impotent. In a very similar way, we need to have our own ‘receiver’ switched on so that we can activate a clear and precise understanding of our own life, all other life and what everything else in existence is.
    Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day helps us to achieve this because it allows us to reach the core of our enlightenment and keep it switched on. That’s because Myoho-Renge-Kyo represents the identity of what scientists now refer to as the unified field of consciousnesses. To break it down - Myoho represents the Law of manifestation and latency (Nature) and consists of two alternating states. For example, the state of Myo is where everything in life that’s not obvious to us exists - including our stored memories when we’re not thinking about them - our hidden potential and inner emotions whenever they’re dormant - our desires, our fears, our wisdom, happiness, karma - and more importantly, our enlightenment.
    The other state, ho, is where everything in Life exists whenever it becomes evident to us, such as when a thought pops up from within our memory - whenever we experience or express our emotions - or whenever a good or bad cause manifests as an effect from our karma. When anything becomes apparent, it merely means that it’s come out of the state of Myo (dormancy/latency) and into a state of ho (manifestation). It’s the difference between consciousness and unconsciousness, being awake or asleep, or knowing and not knowing.
    The second law - Renge - Ren meaning cause and ge meaning effect, governs and controls the functions of Myoho - these two laws of Myoho and Renge, not only function together simultaneously but also underlies all spiritual and physical existence.
    The final and third part of the tri-combination - Kyo, is the Law that allows Myoho to integrate with Renge - or vice versa. It’s the great, invisible thread of energy that fuses and connects all Life and matter - as well as the past, present and future. It’s also sometimes termed the Universal Law of Communication - perhaps it could even be compared with the string theory that many scientists now suspect exists.
    Just as the cells in our body, our thoughts, feelings and everything else is continually fluctuating within us - all that exists in the world around us and beyond is also in a constant state of flux - constantly controlled by these three fundamental laws. In fact, more things are going back and forth between the two states of Myo and ho in a single moment than it would ever be possible to calculate or describe. And it doesn’t matter how big or small, famous or trivial anything or anyone may appear to be, everything that’s ever existed in the past, exists now or will exist in the future, exists only because of the workings of the Laws ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ - the basis of the four fundamental forces, and if they didn’t function, neither we nor anything else could go on existing. That’s because all forms of existence, including the seasons, day, night, birth, death and so on, are moving forward in an ongoing flow of continuation - rhythmically reverting back and forth between the two fundamental states of Myo and ho in absolute accordance with Renge - and by way of Kyo. Even stars are dying and being reborn under the workings of what the combination ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’ represents. Nam, or Namu - which mean the same thing, are vibrational passwords or keys that allow us to reach deep into our life and fuse with or become one with ‘Myoho-Renge-Kyo’.
    On a more personal level, nothing ever happens by chance or coincidence, it’s the causes that we’ve made in our past, or are presently making, that determine how these laws function uniquely in each of our lives - as well as the environment from moment to moment. By facing east, in harmony with the direction that the Earth is spinning, and chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo for a minimum of, let’s say, ten minutes daily to start with, any of us can experience actual proof of its positive effects in our lives - even if it only makes us feel good on the inside, there will be a definite positive effect. That’s because we’re able to pierce through the thickest layers of our karma and activate our inherent Buddha Nature (our enlightened state). By so doing, we’re then able to bring forth the wisdom and good fortune that we need to challenge, overcome and change our adverse circumstances - turn them into positive ones - or manifest and gain even greater fulfilment in our daily lives from our accumulated good karma. This also allows us to bring forth the wisdom that can free us from the ignorance and stupidity that’s preventing us from accepting and being proud of the person that we indeed are - regardless of our race, colour, gender or sexuality. We’re also able to see and understand our circumstances and the environment far more clearly, as well as attract and connect with any needed external beneficial forces and situations. As I’ve already mentioned, everything is subject to the law of Cause and Effect - the ‘actual-proof-strength’ resulting from chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo always depends on our determination, sincerity and dedication.
    For example, the levels of difference could be compared to making a sound on a piano, creating a melody, producing a great song, and so on. Something else that’s very important to always respect and acknowledge is that the Law (or if you prefer God) is in everyone and everything.
    NB: There are frightening and disturbing sounds, and there are tranquil and relaxing sounds. It’s the emotional result of any noise or sound that can trigger off a mood or even instantly change one. When chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo each day, we are producing a sound vibration that’s the password to our true inner-self - this soon becomes apparent when you start reassessing your views on various things - such as your fears and desires etc. The best way to get the desired result when chanting is not to view things conventionally - rather than reaching out to an external source, we need to reach into our own lives and bring our needs and desires to fruition from within - including the good fortune and strength to achieve any help that we may need. Chanting Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo also reaches out externally and draws us towards, or draws towards us, what we need to make us happy from our environment. For example, it helps us to be in the right place at the right time - to make better choices and decisions and so forth. We need to think of it as a seed within us that we’re watering and bringing sunshine to for it to grow, blossom and bring forth fruit or flowers. It’s also important to understand that everything we need in life, including the answer to every question and the potential to achieve every dream, already exists within us.
