Fermi paradox: Theories to Humankinds exitence

io9: Weirdest Solutions to the Fermi Paradox

by George Dvorsky

3>The Simulation Hypothesis

We haven’t been visited by anyone because we’re living inside a computer simulation — and the simulation isn’t generating any extraterrestrial companions for us.

If true, this could imply one of three things. First, "I mean Gods" — running the simulation have rigged it such that we’re the only civilization in the entire Galaxy (or even the Universe). Or, there really isn’t a true universe out there, it just appears that way to us within our simulated bubble (It’s a ‘If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?’ type thing).

Another more bizarre possibility is that the simulation is being run by a posthuman civilization in search of an answer to the Fermi Paradox, or some other scientific question. Maybe, in an attempt to entertain various hypotheses (perhaps even preemptively in consideration of some proposed action), they’re running a billion different ancestor simulations to determine how many of them produce spacefaring civilizations, or even post-Singularity stage civilizations like themselves.

2> The Zoo Hypothesis: John Ball 1973

Though it sounds like something from a Twilight Zone episode, it’s quite possible that we’re stuck inside some kind of celestial cage. ETI’s may have stumbled upon our tiny blue marble a long time ago, but, for whatever reason, they’re observing us from afar. It might be that we’re entertainment for them (like watching monkeys in the zoo), or that they’re studying us for scientific purposes. Regardless, they’ve invoked a hand’s off policy and they’re leaving us alone.

This idea was first proposed by John Ball in 1973, who argued that extraterrestrial intelligent life may be almost ubiquitous, but that the “apparent failure of such life to interact with us may be understood in terms of the hypothesis that they have set us aside as part of a wilderness area or zoo.” We could be part of a vast nature preserve that has been set off limits, free to grow unperturbed by intelligent life. It’s an idea that somewhat related to Star Trek’s Prime Directive in which civilizations are left alone until they attain a certain technology capacity. It’s also an idea that UFOlogists are partial to — the suggestion that aliens are essentially here, but observing us from a distance. Image: ssi.org.

1> From the Nebula Award-nominated short story, “They’re Made Out of Meat” 

by Terry Bisson:

"They're made out of meat."

"Meat?"

"Meat. They're made out of meat."

"Meat?"

"There's no doubt about it. We picked up several from different parts of the planet, took them aboard our recon vessels, and probed them all the way through. They're completely meat."

"That's impossible. What about the radio signals? The messages to the stars?"

"They use the radio waves to talk, but the signals don't come from them. The signals come from machines."

"So who made the machines? That's who we want to contact."

"They made the machines. That's what I'm trying to tell you. Meat made the machines."

"That's ridiculous. How can meat make a machine? You're asking me to believe in sentient meat."

"I'm not asking you, I'm telling you. These creatures are the only sentient race in that sector and they're made out of meat."

A little while later:

"They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?"

"Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat."

"I thought you just told me they used radio."

"They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat, it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat."

"Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?"

"Officially or unofficially?"

"Both."

"Officially, we are required to contact, welcome and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in this quadrant of the Universe, without prejudice, fear or favor. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing."

"I was hoping you would say that."

"It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact with meat?"

"I agree one hundred percent. What's there to say? 'Hello, meat. How's it going?'

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Something for the UFO fanatics

UFO's in  SA.... apparently so... there's even an official website and everything.

Mass UFO sighting in Cape Town | 11 December         Post on December 12, 2012 by UfoRSA tagged: bright light, cape town, cylinder, vapour

We have received numerous reports from different people that saw the same thing in the Cape Town area last night (11 December 2012). It was even seen as far as the Northern Cape and Namibia! This is the first time we have gotten so many reports on the same UFO. (go to this site)

Real or Fraud? looks fake to me.... but there's a lot of pictures taken by random people with weird lights in funny shapes in the sky...

I am not a "fanatic" but i always had a curiosity for the big question "Is there life out there?" I don't believe in coincidences... so i am sitting on the fence on this age old debate.

Echidna.... some freaky hedge hog looking animal

Here's something cute, squishy, completely adorable and has a multi-headed penis.... WTF?! but yeah... its true!

Article in io9, True facts about the baby echidna, the most adorable creature on Earth with a four-headed penis  Robert T. Gonzalez

Here now is the latest installment in Ze Frank's always entertaining, occasionally scientifically accurate "facts about _______" nature series. To date, Frank has covered hedgehogs,anglerfish, and now baby echidnas, a.k.a. "puggles," a.k.a. baby Max Rebo.

_____________________________________________________________________

So they censored most of it, so I searched and found the uncensored footage. (Warning: contains more uncensored four-headed penises). Its freaky so, if you get weird-ed out easily, please don't watch this. 

Okay so I sort of feel bad for the poor thing cause its almost like the zoologist is sexually assaulting that poor animal... 

Nature is... strange!

MOVIE INFO
























































In Men in Black 3, Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back...in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him -- secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind. -- (C) Sony.
