Chapter 26: Why Are Aliens Hard to Find?
Before the discovery of the Martians, it is estimated that you, like the other nine adults, will not believe that there are aliens in the universe. That is, when there is news that the Martians have been discovered, you will not be disbelieved.
That's a science fantasy.
We like to have preconceived notions, in the eyes of most people, the image of aliens is big heads, big eyes, thin bodies, and almost the entire universe of aliens is almost like that.
When looking for extraterrestrial civilizations, people refer to the living conditions of human beings, or earth creatures, and this way of searching is too narrow.
In fact, this inherent perception of the image of extraterrestrials makes it even more difficult for humans to search for extraterrestrial life.
We should realize that it is not reasonable for aliens to look the same.
In a movie dedicated to aliens, "E.T. the Extraterrestrial", he has a terrifying appearance, a long neck, huge eyes, a protruding mouth, and glowing internal organs.
In one movie "Extreme Space", the alien is imagined as a skull, and in the movie "District 9", the malnourished alien resembles a prawn,
In the movies "Venom" and "Guardians of the Galaxy", the image of aliens is even more bizarre, and the most important thing is ugly.
Whether it is the ugliness of aliens in the movies "Return of the Clown" and "Strange Shape", or the monster in "Men in Black" and "Alien", or the fear in "Predator", they all reflect the imagination of human beings.
The main basis for human beings to find aliens is whether they are terrestrial planets, whether they are in habitable zones, and whether the climate of the planet can adapt to human beings.
What's even more bizarre is that the presence of oxygen on the planet, the presence of water sources, is the main factor in our search for extraterrestrial life.
Why aren't there alien creatures that are adapted to high and low temperatures and don't need oxygen and water?
Even other organisms on the earth that are carbon-based life are also very subversive of human cognition. For example, the only immortal creature on earth, the lighthouse jellyfish; Water bears and more.
So how many strange life forms will exist in the universe? And why can't life exist in extreme environments?
The living environment of extraterrestrial life is certainly diverse, strange, and may even subvert our cognition.
For example, could they be a particle? Or maybe it's just a simple body of energy, a beam of light.
We know that we don't know anything about 96% of the dark energy in the universe, so where could alien creatures exist?
Also, as we mentioned earlier, scientists scanned 10.3 million stars near the Earth, and the results showed that no radio or electromagnetic waves were detected, and our result was that none of these stars used extraterrestrial life.
How can we ensure that extraterrestrial life uses electromagnetic waves in the same way that humans communicate?
Perhaps, there is a high probability that they will not use electromagnetic waves, but will use a more stable and faster communication method than electromagnetic waves
And we are constantly emitting electromagnetic waves to the outside, and if we want to contact alien civilizations, isn't it a fate to ask for fish?
Since they did not receive electromagnetic waves, they were pessimistic that there were no other extraterrestrial civilizations in the universe.
This is very ridiculous, there are no electromagnetic waves, it can only be said that there are no aliens who use electromagnetic communication like us, not that there are no alien creatures.
Perhaps, they are very inferior and do not yet know how to use electromagnetic waves, such as ants; Maybe they're very advanced and don't use electromagnetic waves for low-level communication at all.
Just like the Martians, who are 3,000 years more developed than terrestrial humans, they use telecommunication to know what one person thinks.
Moreover, they don't care about the distance at all, even on the earth, electromagnetic waves have to travel a distance of a few minutes, and they can reach it in an instant.
That is our incredible quantum entanglement technology, they use quantum entanglement communication, has replaced the backward electromagnetic wave (wireless) transmission of information.
How so? It's like people's minds. Will you be able to reach the sun in a moment? No. But the mind can.
There are at least a trillion planets in the universe similar to the Earth, and it would be extremely unscientific to say that there is no extraterrestrial life.
Also, why do you make "seeing is believing" the focus of your search for extraterrestrial creatures, can't they live beneath the earth's surface, in space? Do we have to see it?
This discovery of the Martians confirms this.
Therefore, there are three reasons why no aliens have been found so far:
The first possibility is that they are very backward, compared to humans, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of years. For example, a clump of cells, or a monkey that has not evolved.
It is also possible that they are not in the same latitude as humans at all, for example, humans are in three dimensions, they may be in four dimensions; Or they may live in dark matter or dark energy. Wait a minute.
Second, their technological level is too much higher than ours, such as the Martians this time, we are not at the same level as them at all.
The third possibility is that the direction of development is different, just like we use electromagnetic waves for communication, and they may use other methods.
But in any case, the news of the discovery of the Martian is true, and although not many people in the market approve of it, at least it is unbreakable in Kerry's consciousness.
The communication with Zheng Riqiang was intermittent, and after analysis, the board of directors sent a second spacecraft to Mars.
In order to deal with the Martians, their astronauts carried a lot of weapons and medicines, such as particle weapons or something, and 100 robots.
However, less than 10 seconds after the spacecraft lifted off, it was blown up, and the plane was destroyed and people died.
This kind of thing is not uncommon, but the board of directors has a lot of discussions, and it is suspected that it is the work of aliens.
However, it is also far-fetched to attribute all the failures to aliens. It's just that at this juncture, things get a little complicated.
On January 28, 1986, NASA suspended the Space Shuttle mission after the Challenger exploded 73 seconds after liftoff, killing all seven astronauts.
In February 2003, NASA decided to suspend all shuttle flights while investigations into the causes of the Columbia shuttle accident were being conducted. All seven astronauts were killed in the incident.
Some people say, are they also related to aliens?
A message came from the Earth base:
The second spacecraft crashed to Mars.
Hurry back and report on the Martians.
Zheng Riqiang smiled bitterly: The spaceship crash was undoubtedly also done by the Martians, the Martians are so powerful, where can they escape from Mars?
As for why the Martians didn't destroy him, he couldn't figure it out. His only explanation is that the Martians are also bogeyers.
The development of events proves that they completely underestimated the intelligence of the Martians.
