  1. Astrobiology, a field with no evidence….silicon based? Star trek episode back in the 60s. D orbitals preclude life. Carbon allows the chemical reactions needed. Silicon has too many electrons.

  2. It is interesting, seeing the current discoveries & debates about the "possibility" of ET life… given that it has been assumed to be fact, since the 1800's, as a matter of religious principle, by believers in the Baha'i Faith, whose Author/Prophet asserted "out of the blue" that all stars have planets and all planets have life! (With the fine print that the characteristics of the beings on each world are uniquely adapted to their respective environments). A tantalizing case of the ultimate harmony of science & religion?

  3. This notion that we already haven't found signs of Life in our solar system and beyond is pretty profound….

    Got to stop thinking about looking for carbon-based organisms and we have to think outside of the box…

    It's been proven that anything can survive anywhere so let that sink in for a little bit…

  4. I often wonder why we are always assuming if aliens exist, they're docile and looking to help a species actively destroying themselves. Why not enslave the planet and strip it of its resources. Maybe we should accept we are not alone and mind our own business. But humans and primitive thinking will continue to poke around space till another species reminds us we are just apes.

  5. Lex mapping to your personal evolution form the point of origin, the first podcast to the continuous present of your ever- expanding self would be fascinating 💜👈💯

  6. No there are no aliens on Mars, no descent, self respecting alien would ever leave the safety of his planet's magnetosphere to be on Mars in his carbon based flesh. If you wanna run around as a life an advanced life form in this universe, you gotta be carbon, none of that silicon, boron, arsenic based bs. that just wont work. Get with the science man.

  7. Google this and tell me what you think "MARS EXPLORATION, MAY 22, 1984 – The Black Vault" . Its an official CIA declassified document of some medium astral projecting to Mars, 1 million years ago.

  8. “Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.” – Arthur C. Clarke

    Lou Elizondo has already proven there is an intelligent phenomenon interacting with our nuclear weapons.

  9. Ya, Setti is set up the same way. We are trying to find a radio signal of some sort? Of course, the question becomes "is this how aliens communicate"? We don't know. They could be communicating all around us and we don't know how to spot it. Take for example a Bee. It uses complex chemical reactions to communicate to others in the hive. I have to agree we need to expand our thinking to be able to recognize the complexities of the cosmos.

  10. Signs of alien life are here on Earth right now, I'm growing tired of the ignorance that surrounds all proof of alien contact that we have on an almost weekly basis now
