Foreign Things first we are not the center of the universe
today we can say that out loud without being Sentenced to death which was the norm a few
centuries ago when Galileo voiced his doubts About the Earth revolving around the Sun and
not vice versa he was put on a trial and later House arrest by the Vatican he was persecuted for
believing that the world doesn't revolve around Us but we have come a long way since and science
truly has humbled us most of us we now know that There are thousands of planets outside of our
solar system and trillions in our galaxy itself Scientists estimate that there may be tens
of billions of solar systems in our galaxy Perhaps even as many as 100 billion makes
one wonder if there are Advanced alien Civilizations out there who also believe that
they are the center of the universe unlikely If anything there are civilizations
out there who are just like us evil Greedy and willing to seek out and Destroy
what's different from us oh orbit Beyond the blue we know that there are more than
four thousand exoplanets in our galaxy many of Them the size of the Earth we also know that the
building blocks of life including water energy and Elements associated with life are in existence
throughout the solar system and the cosmos but What we do not know is how readily Life Begins
is it a common occurrence or a rare one or how Long does it last for and if we were to start
conjecturing on the existence of intelligent Life curiosity compounds this LEDs us to one of
the most famous and hotly debated questions of All time where is everybody the question first
posed by physicist Enrico Fermi during a casual Lunch meeting in 1950 has led to Decades of
debate in what is known as the Fermi paradox The idea goes something like this given that
our solar system is relatively young roughly Only about 4.5 billion years old compared to the
rest of the universe which is about 13.8 billion Years old and that Interstellar travel might be
achievable in time the chances of Earth already Having been visited by aliens is rather High alien
civilizations have had plenty of time to rise up Come to Earth and even spread Fermi believed that
any civilization with a modest amount of Rocket Technology has the power to colonize the entire
galaxy Fermi died in 1954 leaving behind the Legacy of the Fermi Paradox for others to decipher
if at all the possibility that aliens exist is True the reason we have been unable to find them
is perhaps that they have no desire to communicate With us or even visit our perhaps we as a race
are not interesting enough for them else perhaps They are simply observing us and keeping Silent
not wishing to risk contact with their Cosmic Neighbors in the fear of starting a potential War
but let's assume that there were aliens interested In finding us and curiosity got the better
of them how would they spot us just like our Earth which goes around the Sun there might be
other planets with civilizations using the same Technique a paper published in 2016 talked about
82 Stars which would have the right view of the
Earth making it recognizable from the cosmos the
inhabitants could be watching Earth and maybe even Thinking of communicating with us the research
was thus conducted on a local Cosmic neighborhood Within 300 light years of the sun which contains
more than 300 000 stars from these it was seen That 1700 stars were in a position to have
observed Earth within the last five thousand years Any one of them could have had life and if so
they may have known of Earth and the intelligent Life it Harbors there were 46 stars that could
see Earth transiting the sun while also being Near enough to detect radio waves yet it is
impossible to say for sure if any of these have Intelligent life like ours seti or the search for
extraterrestrial intelligence is a field that has Been listening for possible messages from Alien
technological beings since the middle of the 20th Century in 1977 a strange signal consisting of
a minute long burst of radio energy was detected It bled briefly through a radio telescope and
lasted for 72 seconds the signal contained an Alphanumeric code and was dubbed the wow signal
50 years later researchers believed that they know The source of this so-called alien broadcaster
sun-like star 1800 light years from Earth in the Constellation known as Sagittarius according
to Alberto Caballero an amateur astronomer This signal is the closest sign to indicate the
presence of extraterrestrial life since the time Our search for life beyond our planet began
more than six decades ago in a paper that he Published he claims that there are at least four
alien civilizations in the Milky Way that could Attack our planet his research though is more of
a thought experiment he says that his research is Meant to warn other scientists of a possible
attack and put a number to the civilizations That could respond to the messages sent out by
humans he based his thinking and research on the Number of invasions that have happened on Earth
including the wow signal and then use the data To estimate the number of exoplanets in the
Milky Way having concluded that there could Be four likely enemies he has asked scientists to
be cautious in their enthusiasm to send messages To extraterrestrial beings as it might instigate
an alien invasion while this is a scary scenario The odds of an alien invasion annihilating Earth
are as many as being hit by a killer asteroid And getting destroyed Alberto Caballero has also
stressed that such events if they were to occur Would take place about once in a 100 million
years so I guess we are safe for a long long Time according to his study there may be only
one Auto hostile extraterrestrial civilizations In the Milky Way that may have also mastered
Interstellar travel moreover with advances in Science and technology the incidences of societies
be it you human or alien indulging in Warfare is Significantly lower on the whole however sending
messages to other worlds beyond our planet and not Of our knowing can be risky we're definitely not
ready for an Intergalactic war from The Majestic View of The Pillars of Creation to detecting
chemical compositions of exoplanets and from Stunning images of nebulas to finding the most
distant galaxy in the universe Webb has proved
That the 10 billion dollars and the countless
launch delays were all worth it and while it Is in covering the universe like never before
it has also taken some stunning images of the Celestial bodies of our Solar System Jupiter
Neptune Mars and now the only place in the Solar system After Earth that has rivers and
oceans and clouds Saturn's largest moon Titan Webb will look at every aspect of cosmic history
from the inner workings of the solar system to the Farthest detectable galaxies in the early Cosmos
and everything in between so let's see if the web Telescope is able to detect any signs of alien
life during its lifetime what do you guys think Oh Beyond the blue
