Solar systems like our own might be quite rare.



The image of the external solar system above this text introduces the system where are seven earth-type planets. There are the best chances to find extraterrestrial lifeforms. But there is a difference between intelligent extraterrestrial lifeforms and intelligent extraterrestrial lifeforms. If somewhere is another civilization they might be very far from us. And that thing brings interesting visions to the mind of people. 

The nearest known solar system that is similar to us is 3000 light-years away. And that means the solar systems that are like our own might be quite rare in the universe. Sometimes wise men are asking the question that should the solar system where are intelligent lifeforms have 8 planets like in our solar system and should the names of the aliens "Jack" and "Jill". 

The fact is that if we would send the message to that solar system, that is 3000 light-years from us. The message will travel there 3000 years. And the answer would take another 3000 years to travel to our solar system. So we should think what was the level of a human civilization 3000 years ago. And 6000 years is a very good time to advance.

And then the question that repeats one time after one: Are we alone in the universe?


The thing is that there is the possibility that the nearest civilization is about 3000 light-years from us. So that means we would not have a chance to communicate with that civilization. 

The thing is that the distance to other civilizations would be even bigger than this 3000 light-years. So when we are asking the question: are we alone in the universe we should also ask the question: what if we are alone in the area where we could communicate with aliens by using systems that exist. 

The thing is that there is another civilization in the universe.  But if that civilization is thousands of light-years away from us that civilization cannot affect us. Or we cannot affect that civilization. The thing is that there are billions and billions of stars in billions and billions of galaxies. So for being alone we would be a little bit too lucky. 

If we are thinking that there are two similar solar systems to our solar system in every galaxy. There are lots of similar planets to Earth if we are thinking of the scale of the universe. In this case, I meant for intelligent and technically advanced lifeforms.

The lifetime of civilization is one of the most interesting things. 


In the theories of the advancing of the civilizations, every single civilization must pass the test for reaching the Kardashev scale. The first test is that the leaders of the hypothetical civilization must realize that the things like interplanetary travel require nuclear technology. That technology is easy to transform as a weapon. 

And those weapons might cause that the civilization would commit suicide. But if that civilization finds the common goal they would reach the first step to Kardashev scale and learn to flight between planets. The second test would be when the civilization would start to make colonies to other solar systems. 

In that case, there is the possibility that there would be a conflict between the civilization and its colonies. And another version of the conflict. Is that the civilization would meet another civilization. And that thing causes star wars. But if the civilization is reaching the third step of the Kardashev scale. The origin of it turns meanless. If the civilization reaches the galactic scale. It would turn immortal. 

Of course, the end of the universe would put a limit on that race. But when the civilization will conquer the entire galaxy there is a small step to expeditions to other galaxies. The first steps are difficult. But this day science fiction is the routine of tomorrow. Technical advancing turns many things that were stories and theories yesterday practice of tomorrow.

What kind of physiology hypothetical aliens might have?

What kind of physiology hypothetical aliens might have?

When we are thinking of ourselves, we must realize, that there are many hostile areas for mankind, and even we are living on Earth for all periods of our existence, we need clothes to live in many areas on our planet. Without clothes, mankind could ever live in polaric- and subpolar areas. But could there any kind of intelligent aliens in the universe?

The answer is that there could be primitive lifeforms even in our solar system. And if we think that even if our solar system and the planet Earth would very special, there are billions of stars even in our galaxy. That means that intelligent lifeforms can be found everywhere, and here we are coming to the paradox. When we are looking at the intelligent life forms, we are forgetting one thing, those lifeforms might not even look like us.

The second thing is that some intelligent persons have said that we don't want to find intelligent life forms, which are like humans. The reason for that is seen on the Internet every day. The thing is that when we are looking at the intelligent life forms, we might want to meet different life forms than we are. If those hypothetical life forms would feel the atmosphere of Earth poisonous, they might not want to conquer our planet.

And then we are facing the one really interesting idea, about the alien physiology. That thing is that actually, aliens could live in the carbon monoxide atmosphere, and look like us if that organism can separate oxygen from that molecule. When we are thinking about the creature, what lives in a carbon monoxide atmosphere, for that kind of organism the free oxygen can cause the flaming, or the creature would simply burn to ash.

That kind of alien is one of the most interesting things, what theoretical research has brought in the mind of scientists. But sometimes somebody has said, that what if the Earth is a special case? I must answer that question by giving back the question, "how special the Earth could be"?

When we are thinking about the distances of the Universe, that means that if we can confirm that there is just one alien civilization, we have found another civilization. And in that case, the thing is proven. If we are thinking about the distance between Earth and Sun, we must realize that the great mass of water would cool our planet's atmosphere.

If we are thinking about ourselves as the species, we must realize that we, Homo Sapiens cannot live in the entire Earth without special tools, and the most important thing, that mankind has ever created are clothes. Without clothes, we cannot live in polar areas and mountains.

Without clothes, a human being would be frozen to death, and we could live only in some rainforests near the equator, and the warm houses can allow the persons, who are not in top condition to live in the arctic areas and deserts. Clothes and houses allowed us to move to the areas, where the climate was hostile. And weapons allowed humans to get material for clothes. So those inventions allowed the human race to expand its or our life zone over the entire planet

We all live in bubble said, Immanuel Kant. But how big those bubbles can be?

We all live in bubble said, Immanuel Kant. But how big those bubbles can be?

There is many translations and analyzes, what is made of the writings of the great philosophers. The writings of those people have many layers, and we can see many sides in those ideas, what philosophers have been written during history, and there are many visions what are hidden in those texts, what would open after reading writing two or three times. And they are bringing always new focus to old things. Here I'm writing about the bubble of Immanuel Kant.

Immanuel Kant meant that we all hear, what we want to hear. And that phenomenon is seen, when we are seeing our neighbor, who we don't like. In those cases that person is telling bad things about ourselves, we all put the headphones to ears and listen to some kind of pop music or something else, that we cannot hear what those people are saying.

That thing is one of the best examples of this thing, which is called the "Kant's bubble". When we are thinking about the bubble, where we are living, the bosses of the building sites and companies, we would face the inmate who has other people in their bubble.

Next part of the text is thinking about the SETI-program, and why we cannot make contacts with other humanoids. So don't be "serious sam" when you read this writing. It is about microwave bubble, what can turn our transmitting away in the side of the humanoids planet, or maybe the microwave bubble of our side would make the same thing. 

So does all human race just hear the earphones and take selfies, because we cannot hear humanoids? In this case, our media acts like earphone and mobile equipment, which isolates us from other people. The similar effect can happen with an entire civilization, what wants to hear it's own ideas and thoughts.

And here we or at least I might think that could the entire population of the human race live in the bubble, what is similar to the bubble of the last example. In this point of view, the human race is so full of our specialty and shine, that we forget one thing. We are still addicted to planet Earth. But when somebody says, that "of course there are no humanoids", I must ask that person "how does that inmate know that thing?".

Who told that thing? So, the answer would be that "there is no answer to our message and those so-called messages are caused because of the broken microwave oven". And then the audience is laughing. Those highly trained astronomers didn't visit a local gasoline station or private home and check their microwave oven, and that makes them somehow "tired".

But then we must realize, that this kind of case is absurd. Astronomers responsibility is not to check every single microwave oven in the local areas, and otherwise leaking microwave oven can be dangerous. And the radio telescopes don't observe the frequencies, what microwave oven uses. But there is another way to say that kind of thing.

The question, what we can ask is that if we make the phone call to the boss of the building site, and that person doesn't answer would that make this person not existed? So what if those humanoids would not answer?

And the reason for that might be, that their transmitting with the synthetic radio frequencies might be so powerful, that their signals just sweep our transmitting away. This is one version of the bubble. We would live ourselves in the microwave bubble, what just turns the humanoid transmitting away. 

Conclusions

The size of the bubble might be huge, and huge bubbles have a huge effect because it asks other people to yell with us. That means that the big bubbles are more effective than average bubbles because those people are in the bubble with their leader, and the leader is telling, where the bubble should go because that person has the ownership for the bubble. If other people are not supporting that leader, the result is the kicking off from that bubble. This is one way to think and analyze that kind of texts. But as I mentioned before, the point of view those things are always changing.

Oamuamua is still a natural object (What the SETI-probe might look like?)

Oamuamua is still a natural object (What the SETI-probe might look like?)

When astronomers are talking about the thing, what makes the objects like Oamuamua very interesting and extraordinary is that is coming from another solar system. And when astronomer sees that kind of object, the thing is that it really could be everything from the cosmic ice bite to the humanoid spacecraft. In the worst case, the object would be the bite of antimatter, and then that would risk the entire solar system if it hits something.

Before astronomers would get the metering results and observations from that object, everything would be open, and we must realize that the object could be whatever. When we are facing this kind of objects, the scientists would always write and discuss everything and the opportunity to face humanoid spacecraft would be fascinating.

But before we could be sure is the particle the spacecraft from the far away or some natural particle the astronomers must get information about this article. The systems that are used are infrared and x-ray cameras and spectrometers, what are taking an image of the possible nuclear reactors. And the computers are going to calculate the trajectory of that particle. Then the astronomers would follow the object and compare its trajectory to the metering results.

The technical analysts would try to figure what kind of system the hypothetical probe from the other solar system might be.

Sometimes highly trained technical people are trying to figure, what the probe from the other solar system would look like, or what kind of probe we would send to another solar system if we would someday face the case, that near some star would sending the synthetic radio signals. So what kind of system the SETI (Search For Extraterrestrial Intelligence) probe would be?

The probe might use lightweight radiation insulator for hiding the existence of the nuclear reactor. It would be a little bit different than we have thought. The systems of the probe would be drilled in the asteroid, which covers the existence of the artificial parts.

The hydrogen layer would cover the existence of the nuclear reactor, and before the probe would enter the targeted solar system, the outtake of the beam tube would be covered by ice, and the sophisticated artificial intelligence would shutdown all active systems of that probe including the nuclear reactor. And the central computer calculates the best trajectory, what the probe can use without possibility to uncover.

The SETI probes would use this kind of STEALTH technology for hiding their existence. And when they are traveling through the targeted solar system it would record the signals and operate with batteries. When it would be far enough it would send the laser or maser beam to the solar system, where the civilization, what has to send that probe would live.

Or if we want to think a complicated thing, we would think that the probe would send the data to the relay satellite, what orbits some other star, and that satellite will help to cover the location of the civilization. The thing is that if the civilization would someday send the probes to the other solar system, the things what we have expected to be only the imagination could become true.

And there is a possibility that the civilization, and in this text, the human race is also the civilization can face the hostile civilization. Maybe that intelligent species would not know, where to travel, and then it suddenly notices the yellow star, where is the suitable planet, and attacks to another planet. But there is one problem with that kind of way to think. The problem is that if the planet is suitable for that civilization, the micro-organisms would cause problems for that civilization.

Thoughts about the SETI-program

Thoughts about the SETI-program

The scariest thing, what mankind can find in the Universe is the species, what acts like we are acting. The thing in this paradox is that the human race has been destroyed many civilizations during its own history because they were different than others. This thing that everything, what is different than others must be destroyed is called the homogenization of the society, and the purpose of that thing was to make the nation homogeneous.

And this process has justified slavery and other kinds of things, what purpose was officially civilized the society, but that process was put in action simply, because of those people, who were members of the destroyed societies were suitable workforce in the mining, where those conquerors dag the silver, gold, and pieces of jewelry for getting funds for their holy war.

The thing is that sometimes I have thought that, what if some other civilization thins the same way about others, what have injured their group members, as we have thought about the things, what have injured the humans. In this case, we might think the situation, that some air force fighter shoots down their spacecraft. Would they act in that case the same way, as we are acting in the case, where some small state would shoot down the aircraft of the bigger state?

The thing in the SETI program is that will offer the forum, where the scientists can discuss this kind of things, and the thing is that the SETI program is working with things like artificial intelligence and another kind of unexpected things, and the program has similar purpose in the world of computers as the RAND corporation is in the world of aviation and spaceflights. The idea of the SETI program is to search for extraterrestrial intelligence and also develop the network-based artificial intelligence and data processing methodology. Also, the idea is to connect the Internet to multiple devices, what operates from the Earth to the distant Kuiper belt and make them operate as the one very large singularity.

That means that the space probes are connected in the same system with radio telescopes and supercomputers, what are analyzing and systematically sort and connect the data, what that system would connect. The thing in this kind of systems is that when some probe would fly near the object, the object like a planet is targeting also with the radio- and optical telescopes, what will collect the data from that planet in the same time when the probe overtakes it.

And the object would be searched by the telescopes from the Earth as long as possible before overtaking because the trajectory of the probe can adjust that way it would get the best images of the most interesting areas of the surface of that object, and otherwise the probe can fly in the distance, where it can collect the best images and collect the other data by using as many sensors as possible and that data, what magnetometers and other sensors like radio detectors and possible radar collects and connect that thing to the visual images.

The space probes might have a multi-use antenna, what would use as well as in the communication and radar, what can locate also liquid water and other targets below the ice of the icy objects in the distant Kuiper belt and icy moons of the giant planet. That radar can see also the volcanic actions, what are hidden deep inside the ice. And volcanoes can make possible that there is liquid water in moons of Uranus and Neptune.

Gaia and the SETI-program.


Gaia and the SETI-program.

The term "Gaia" means that there would be organisms, what are represent the different species, but they would operate as the one organism. The intelligent "Gaia", one of the most intelligent life forms, what we can imagine. In some theories is introduced the cases where the entire planet would pluralize itself as the one super intelligent life form is introduced in some novels, and here I'm trying to write about this strange idea of the super ecosystem, where every species operates together.

One of the hypothetical forms of "Gaia" could be that the fauna would act with the vegetable layer as human brains would act, and the form of this kind of extreme ecosystem can be that the entire planet would be covered by the neuron-vegetable hybrids, and the clouds are another series of neurons. Those cloud neurons, what are hovering in the atmosphere, would be extremely small size and the size of them might be like pollen. The small size would be guaranteed that they could stay inside the cloud and they are operating as the brain core, and the surface neurons would be like some mirror neurons.

Many people wonder, what the thing what the term "Gaia" actually means is the multi-species co-operation, and those species, what would seem different can operate as they would be the single species. One of the most fascinating things about the "Gaia" is that this life form must not cover the entire planet, and it can be actually local. And that would give a very good topic for some horror or sci-fi movie.

In some theories, this strange life form can actually look like some kind of bryophyte and the other part of this brains would act like a swarm of insects. When we are thinking about things like this hypothetical intelligent life form, we can face one of the most fascinating models of intelligence, what any scientist or theorist have ever created is that the "Gaia" would not intelligent all the time.

This means that the swarm of insects can travel across the entire planet and come to meet another component of it, and then the intelligence can be connected between those neurons, and that would create the intelligent life form, what could give the missions to the bugs, where the brain core would be. And then those bugs would fly away, and they will return after the certain time have been gone. When we are thinking about this kind of intelligence, it would be totally different, what we are. And actually, this kind of intelligent life form would not able ever create the technology, which allows it to fly to space.

In the world are many tales about strange spirits and life forms, and maybe some of them are intelligent. But maybe their intelligence is so different than ours, that they do not even notice us. The thing is that the idea of this life form is actually taken from the novel, what name I don't remember. The fact is that before we would meet the alien or visit on the planet, where is the intelligent habitant, we cannot even imagine, what this life form can look like, and what kind of technology it might have.

And maybe this kind of "Gaia" would be dangerous, because it could transfer it neuron fibers in the fictional astronauts, and infect them. So every operation on the planet, what seems habitable should at the first make by using the remote-controlled robots, what would not infect the spacecraft with some bodysnatchers, what will transfer the entire crew to zombies.

Degeneration would be the biggest threat for long living civilizations


Degeneration would be the biggest threat for long living civilizations

The idea of intelligent life would be one of the most interesting things in the world. The thing that we would not only ones in the universe is fascinating and at the same time scary. When we are thinking about the distant future there are multiple threats what can make our civilization one of the civilizations, what would be destroyed in the history of the Universe. One of the things, what is ever mentioned is the homogenization of the genetic material. If the civilization would live long enough, the entire population would turn to one individual, and the genetic material would be similar in that individual. That means that those organisms would be actually identical twins to each other.

Degeneration of the threats is very interesting and scary threats, what we can face is the genetic degeneration, where the entire species turn to be like the homogenous group, where the entire population will be the same, and that will cause that the sicknesses can cause the end of the entire population. Here are about six billion individuals on Earth, and that means that the genetic variability would be huge, but in fact, there is only limited number of alkalis in the molecule, what we know as the DNA.

That means that there is a huge number of combinations in that molecule, but the number of combination is not limitless. In somewhere in a distant future, would happen the thing, that we lost the genetic variable of our genomes. And if our species would be degenerate, would we face the danger, that some virus would kill the entire population, and the thing is that resistance against the illnesses is like a wheel.

When we are creating the immune system and resistance against more and more deadly viruses, we might make a mistake, and lost the immune resistance against some common virus. The thing that we are creating vaccines, we are facing the situation that some northern virus would cause a similar effect with Ebola, but now the epidemic would start in Africa.

This would not be the first time in history when the normal virus would kill the entire population of humans, and one of the saddest examples of that have been the cases, where entire Indian population have dost because of influenza. This thing is that the northern or "European" viruses can cause similar epidemics, what is so deadly as some Ebola virus.
