It’s pretty difficult to dismiss the existence of aliens.
The existence of aliens is almost a mathematical certainty.
Consider for a moment—gravity is a “theory.” Yes, I believe in gravity, and I’m not trying dispute the fact that the earth is round or that gravity exists. I’m simply demonstrating that, despite the relative CERTAINTY that gravity does exist, we still only refer to it as “theory.”
That being mentioned, I can proceed with our discussion of aliens.
People constantly argue against the existence of aliens, claiming that we’re the only intelligent creatures in the universe. I hate to insult you, but you’re being ridiculous and stupid, and I hate you.
Put very plainly, the universe is so expansive that its expansiveness is impossible to fully comprehend.
We live on earth. Earth is part of a solar system surrounding the Sun, just one star of 200 billion+ stars in the Milky Way galaxy. There are 100 billion+ galaxies in the OBSERVABLE UNIVERSE. Scientists estimate that the unobservable “unobservable universe,” or, “that which we cannot see,” is up to 15 million times larger than “that which we can see.” This means that, in addition to everything we can possibly see, the unobservable universe is probably 15,000,000 times larger than everything we can possibly see, and we can see quite a bit in relation to the Earth.
The universe is ABSURDLY HUGE.
Do you really think that, post-Big Bang, we’re the only planet in the ENTIRE UNIVERSE that developed intelligent life?
In relation to the Earth alone, the universe is so ridiculously massive that it is, for all intents and purposes, infinite. This means that, in addition to the very likely existence of other intelligent life in the universe, there are almost certainly other planets that are seemingly duplicates of this one, meaning we have infinite “doppelganger” planets—basically completely unrelated clones of ourselves developed at random.
Fellow “humans” that we know of on Earth could very well be multi-planetary aliens that camouflage as human beings.
I could be an alien—did you know that?
You’ll dismiss this immediately, probably with a quiet chuckle, but you can never know for sure.
Ask my mother if she gave birth to me—she’ll say “yes,” but how do you know she’s not lying? You can’t. She could be an alien, too.
I don’t remember being born, so I can’t even be certain for myself whether or not I’m an alien.
This could all be a simulation.
We might all be inside somebody’s computer right now, but we can’t know until we do.
We assign value to everything around us, but, objectively speaking, none of this means anything.
Crazy stuff.
Until next time,
