Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (S.E.T.I)

Author: Wayne Lowe

  

Have you seen the movie ‘Contact’ if you haven’t then you need
to. Im creating a single article based on the vision of this
movie. Jodie Foster stars as the main character, she is
brilliant in this film, making it so powerful, and full of
inspiration.

Have you ever wondered what is out there? Have you ever been
curious to know how this all began? Don’t be put of by the
little green men at all. Over the past years, many television
programmes show us the countless possibilities that exist to
what happened in the creation of the universe. It’s so big that
I guess we could never reach the end, if there indeed is an end.

One television programme, that got my attention, was the search
for a planet that harboured life, like our own planet. It had a
term used as ‘the wobble effect’ meaning the same effects as
planet earth. There been a lot of searches for planets that
sustain some similarity to our own planet.

If the S.E.T.I project, still running online today, picked up a
reading of a signal from the outer reaches of the universe, then
Id be very curious to know what it is about, or what it means.
There have been some signals that have been intercepted and sent
to us, but even our modern day machines cannot understand it.

I wish that in my lifetime, we get some great discoveries of the
stars and skies; I would like to see a planet discovered,
creating life like earth, with water, and oxygen. As this planet
is slowly or in this day an age quiet fast, using up its
resources, so we must find another planet, before we die,
otherwise we could as a species be wiped out before we’ve even
began to search the heavens.

It would be exciting to know that there is life on other far
away planets. Imagine if we could contact them, what would they
look like, or what would there advancements be in terms of
technology. If we think about it, do UFO’s really exist, have
people mainly from the USA been abducted. If the alien race has
advanced machines, then maybe this is true. Thinking of it in
reality, if things like this happened, and were not denied by
governments, then truth be told, it would cause panic, on a
global scale, wouldn’t it? But if the stories are not true, then
it’s like loosing hope of ever finding, beings from distant
galaxies.

Suppose our planet receives a message from another part of the
universe. We decode it, what would we want it to say? Like a
quote from ‘Contact’ the movie, if it’s just us, then it’s an
awful waste of space. That to me is true. Why would there be a
massive universe with just us in, the lonely planet earth? It
would seem lonely. Like the thoughts of there being a god. There
are different gods. We’ve never seen him, but to some, who pray
and worship, they feel comfort in knowing that there is a
powerful being. If there is an alien race, do they believe in a
god, or have they never come across such an idea? Does there
history tell of a man similar to Jesus?

Know one can prove that there is a god up in heaven, or the
devil. So how can we believe that aliens exist? I think there is
a fine line, which separates this. Maybe miracles happen,
prayers are answered, is this due to us being able to make them
happen? Could we ask god to keep us alive forever, and never
die? NO, as to us in the material world it’s impossible. For so
much death and destruction, for all that pray for peace and
comfort, do we actually get it? Speaking from the heart I
believe that to the distant future, maybe very soon, we will be
in contact with another species. We will receive a message. We
have not been far enough into space to find other places, so we
can only assume there is going to be life. But say on the other
side of the galaxy, there is another sun, where there is a
planet the same distance from sun as we are, in the protective
layer, which cannot be damaged by radiation, that maybe
supporting life like us. Doesn’t that sound brilliant? There has
to be. We cannot just be the only galaxy to have a sun, in the
expanding universe then it must be there.

If all the computers in the world right now connected to the
internet, and downloaded the S.E.T.I programme to intercept and
download transmissions from the S.E.T.I satellites then we could
interpret more of the codes that are given to us. We have to
think of the bigger picture don’t we? We have to think beyond
our planet, think beyond our sight.

I like to think of theories and see from different points of
view. So imagine the Roswell accident did happen. An alien craft
landed on earth in the USA, and the government kept it to study
there technology, by keeping it in area 51, which is heavily
guarded. If the sightings of aliens have increased since then,
maybe the crash landing was true, as the alien race are
searching for there lost craft. This could be true!

I know that the younger generation after me will continue to
discover more of space, but it’s like winning a race, we need to
try harder and go faster to reach the end. We need to build a
bigger telescope to search far beyond than we’ve ever done,
build a space station, with a satellite on it, which can search
360 degrees whilst rotating round the earth! A massive project
that could combine the entire earth’s wealth to design and build
the ultimate satellite to penetrate the outer limits.

What would our purpose be hear whilst living on this planet,
just to earn our money and die. Or actually make a difference to
the human race. It would be like star trek, with different
colonies, on different galaxies, where we can support life on
space shuttles for years, and then recycle materials to produce
new ones without new materials being added, 100% recycling. We
could go to planets way beyond imagination.

All these ideas I have, I mustn’t be the only one having them.
Do you share the dream of wondering what’s out there? Do you
hope for discovering new beings, new ways of life. Imagine what
would be out there. A planet full of wildlife or a planet full
of dinosaurs again. We could view from the skies of what the
Jurassic period was like. What if we found a species that lived
by breathing carbon dioxide, and whose planet gives of oxygen?
We could use there oxygen in return for giving them carbon
dioxide. It’s just a thought, but there are so many
possibilities out there.

If the big bang that created everything was the only thing ever
to exist, then what created the big bang, if whatever created
the big bang, then what created, what the big bang was created
from. It goes on forever, like saying who god’s mother was, then
who god’s mother’s mother was.

Wouldn’t you like to leave this planet and travel, searching for
new life? Would you do this to be the first human being to make
contact with a new breed of life? I would love to be able to be
the first point of contact for our planet. Showing them we have
great and beautiful life here. Intelligence, power, and belief.
Along with incredible beauty. Animals, water, the skies, the
oceans and plants so rare that capture beauty in a single
moment. Music to create powerful moods of love, and passion.
Different forms of communication, meaning the same things. We
could send with us, pictures of Caribbean sea’s, animals, such
as the dolphin, or tiger, snow fall, rainforests, large cities,
and music composed to relax. The planet, at most 95% has
designed the way of religions, and believes in some god or
another. If we could exchange knowledge in a way that is
universal. Would they understand our morse code, or sign
language, or even our voices? Would we understand there forms of
communication.

If we use about 4% of our brains, maybe they use all of there’s,
if they have brains, or like all life and non-life, there is
some form of control centre, or nucleus, which performs energy,
which transforms into actions or sound, or lights.

Think of this then. There may be a planet like ours, which is in
the Stone Age. They are just about to discover fire, if we could
reach them, we could show them the correct ways to make the
planet far better. We could wipe out hunger, stop havoc from
happening, create a peaceful place, place are technology on
there and advance from then onwards. On a fresh planet.
Recycling everything possible, no cars or pollution. Clean air,
and no hunger or homeless people. Wouldn’t you like to create
this planet if you had the chance? Set rules, and be part of the
human race that saved a planet from a possible destruction like
ours, with hatred and evil in our world. We could see creatures
that died out, we could save them, and plant more trees, correct
the mistakes we’ve made, and in the future, when they understand
to our level of intelligence, they would know that beings from
outer space helped create there world.

There planet could have rare minerals that maybe vital to curing
90% of incurable diseases that we have here on earth. We could
use them to save more lives, so the people here who die for no
reason, could be saved.

If you have already seen the movie, then what happens near the
end is a hope for the survival of the ones who believe there is
life out there. Whoever created the little green men, or beings
with big black eyes and small bodies, are to blame for people
not believing as much. These aliens could be exactly like us,
maybe more beautiful than we are as a species. They could have
developed Larger brains, or have no reason for bodily hair, as
there planet is always warm with a hot glowing sun. They may not
even need ears, as they could have developed or have telepathic
abilities. Maybe there skin structure is like a planets internal
abilities. They survive on minerals from there planet, and sun
to keep them alive. We have such a physiology. But we don’t need
sun that much, although it activates some forms of brain
activity, that when it gets dark, we feel tired, and when it’s
light we wake up. So the alien race could have an advanced
cellular structure that needs the sun to keep them alive. As
futuristic as it sounds, this could be the future. You would be
very mistaken if indeed the future was like what I have
explained, and you thought I was silly for saying it.

Back to my planet of discovery, where we help to create the
perfect world up to today. With no damaging chemicals affecting
the o-zone layer or polluting waters or land. Keeping law and
order in order. We could build machines to track meteors, so we
can maybe launch rockets at them so they don’t destroy the
planet, or find some way of living underground, or under the
ocean. All these ideas have been made up by writers and
directors.

The only movie to touch my soul of life on other planets is
‘Contact’ I would love to hear Jodie Foster's points of view
about this subject and the man who created the idea Carl Sagan.
A brilliant man who brought the idea into reality. He must have
a point of view on this as well.

For all who share this experience with me, and want to talk
about it more, then place contact me on this e-mail address, we
can design websites, or forums where we can share all the ideas
we all have ever dreamed of.
