Do you
believe in aliens? When I was little I really liked the idea of having super
intelligent neighbors that would come to visit us and help us out with all our
problems. For a nine-year-old girl it might be interesting, but what about
science itself. Can we call ufology a pseudo-science?
The
Extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH) has being totally rejected by the scientific community.
Mostly because there is no evidence that living creatures can travel in the
space, plus our closest planets are totally empty. Therefore, all the Hollywood’s
ideas that have been showed on the movies are just pure fiction.
Two hypotheses
have made lot of noise. One is the portal theory, which was proved by Nasa’s researchers
in the university of Iowa. It says that maybe those “travelers” came from portals
that open in our galaxy and are connected with others.
The
historic aspect has also being really important. It’s believed that the Entities
presented in the mythology could have been these special visitors. Some answers
could be found, like how some civilizations could have developed advanced
technology tools. Even the pyramids construction mystery could be solved.
Some researchers
attribute our race to a mutation made by aliens to create a similar
intelligence, which could also explain the difference between us and the rest
of the animal kingdom.
Do you think
all this is going too far? Would you like to find out that your religion is
based on aliens’ visits? Is it really important for us to know all this?
What you mentioned, the "Portal theory thing" remind of something I read: Hyperspace. Hyperspace is the premise to travel at a speed faster than light.
ReplyDeleteHow does that happen? Well, think of the universe as this big cube, or group of dimensions somehow facing each other (parallelism of dimensions) and draw a line from the center of each to a common point in the middle. When something in parallel 1 (let's call it like that) is moving faster in the direction of the point, I think that in some way energy is moving in the other place (parallel 2) in the same direction, so, when they meet together in the center, the gathered energy would be able to impulse the object forwards parallel 2. It's like a balloon that when pressed in the middle has two sides close, and that's what makes your theory a bit more credible as there was something similar postulated in physics. So, I believe in the theory by the NASA.
Considering that there is no proof of aliens, it is quite hard to think about ufology as a science such as medicine, geology, etc. This shows one of the main problems of science: there is a need for evidence that prevents many beliefs or facts from being taken into consideration. So, I think that ufology has a long way to go if this science does not want to be considered a pseudo science anymore.
