I was hoping to see your take on aliens. Do you think they exist?

The interesting question about whether aliens are more like us than different from us humans is an open question that is great to speculate about since you can't prove anything.

This is true. We can only speculate, theorize, and hypothesize about what they might look like until we find the evidence, if it exists. I think that this is an important topic because we live in a vast and complex universe so the chances of there being life beyond Earth is a real possibility.

The physical laws are tempting, I would like to ask, nevertheless, whether they are really the same everywhere in the universe.

A good question. We know that the laws of physics break down inside black holes. There are also other mysteries like dark matter and dark energy, along with a few other things that we do not yet understand about how our universe works. But I believe the scientific consensus is that the fundamental laws are the same. In absence of an adequate alternate theory, then we have to be boring and assume that yes, the fundamental laws of the universe are the same everywhere.

I'm familiar with Sheldrake's thoughts on morphic resonance. His ideas have been around for quite a while, but they haven't been accepted by the scientific community. We may chastise scientists for not wanting to investigate these theories, but I don't understand why Sheldrake et al didn't conduct proper experiments necessary to test his ideas. How do you think his ideas would fit with this topic of extra terrestrial life?

The readiness to meet strangers shows in the same on one's own ground. Where people butt heads because of their differences existing in their own species, an encounter of a third kind is rather inadvisable.

You're right. It could be very dangerous to meet another advanced species. Maybe like us, they're still very aggressive. That is why we need to be prepared for such a meeting. It could happen at any moment. It could even be happening already. For all you know, I could be an alien. Maybe I've been tasked by my species to engage humans online, find the smart ones and analyze their thoughts patterns, so we can better understand humans strengths and weaknesses. In due time, we'll come for you, and we don't come in peace, we come to get wild 🐙

Heh! 😆

Thanks so much for reading @erh.germany!
