Here we go again! The Dictator Don administration, in their attempt to pacify the hordes of illiterate and unthinking followers in their populist base, whip out the UFO card to beguile morons of America by titillating them with the prospect of extraterrestrial alien creatures visiting Earth from far, far away places. What a f***ing joke that humanity in all its “intellectual” evolution still believes — wants to believe — that the government must be hiding E.T. in a basement somewhere in Area 51 because how could it be otherwise. It only makes sense that aliens have visited us! Nay! Walk amongst us — right now as I write! Camouflaged lizard skin and all!
Are we alone in the universe? Abso-f***ing-lutely not! I do not doubt that intelligent life exists out there in the vast cosmos. But here’s the thing: The universe is so f***ing vast that it’s impossible that any E.T. would be able to encounter us. The distances are incomprehensible! Our species, which can only fathom the experience of traveling across town or, at best, the other side of the globe, cannot imagine just how far one lightyear is, let alone millions or billions of lightyears. Unless E.T. has discovered some unknown laws of physics — which is indeed possible — it would be very unlikely that they could traverse such distances to visit our lonely planet.
Not only are the distances vast, but the distances are increasingly vast! Except for local clusters (which are too remote in themselves), every galaxy in the universe is moving away from every other galaxy. And not only moving away, but moving away from each other at an accelerating rate. Specifically, “The new [calculated rate of expansion] is about 46.0 miles (74.03 kilometers) per second per megaparsec; one megaparsec is roughly 3.26 million light-years.” Meaning, for every 3.26 million light-years (1 megaparsec) further away an object is, it recedes an additional 46 miles per second faster. In other words, the vast distances are getting more vast by the second, and the further away a galaxy is, the faster it moves away from us! In short, there is simply too much space out there for any alien life since having achieved intelligence while also managing not to go extinct — including us — to traverse. Full stop!
Let’s take the nearest galaxy in our local group as an example, which is not accelerating away from us — indeed, it’s moving toward us. As you may know, the galaxy is Andromeda. Traveling at the speed of light, it would take 2.5 million years for aliens to reach us, which is impossible since no spacecraft can travel at that speed, as it would require infinite energy. Using the fastest current spacecraft (like the Parker Solar Probe), it would take billions of years to reach Andromeda. So, assuming aliens can travel faster than the Parker Solar Probe but considerably slower than the speed of light, it would take E.T. no less than a billion years to reach us, notwithstanding our collision course. Also, assuming that E.T. is of organic form, how would they sustain themselves for such a long journey without traveling in something approaching the size of a small moon, to say the least?
And shame on the physicists and cosmologists, the MSM goes to as required commentary when the UFO “story” becomes “news” again. Shame on those experts for making the misleading argument after UFO documentation (testimony, grainy videos, fuzzy pictures) gets dumped that the “evidence” is unconvincing. Just yesterday, I heard an “expert” on CNN claim that if E.T. existed, then he wanted to see the bodies. Why hasn’t the government shown evidence of alien life forms or metallurgical test results of extraterrestrial metals (i.e., spacecrafts)? By arguing about the quality or lack of evidence, they subtly infer that otherworldly evidence exists, when in fact they should be arguing that such evidence can never exist because of the vastness of space I detailed above. So, shame on them for playing into the typical tendency for people to go straight to conspiracy theories instead of relying on the science of space and space travel. But keep dreaming, morons; it is more likely that we go extinct before we achieve interstellar travel.
