Advanced Alien Civilization

This paper will introduce you to the incredible topic which is black holes. A black hole is a region of space time exhibiting such strong gravitational effects that nothing can escape from inside it. (NASA) No human has ever entered a black hole and there is still a large mystery about them; we have very little idea of where the matter that enters them goes. A black hole cannot be looked into either, as it sucks all the light into the middle of it. Space programs use special satellites with certain features that allow them to see these black holes. A black hole can be big or small, sometimes forming when a star is dying. Some scientists speculate that there can be black holes just 1 centimeter large. There are multiple types of

Black holes are some of unusual and most interesting objects found in outer space. The first thing I learned, black holes are objects of the greatest density due to the strong gravity because mater has been squeezed into a tiny space. With the black holes relationships with mass and gravity, they have an extremely powerful gravitational force that even light cannot escape from their grasp if it comes near enough. Second thing I learned is about the inner region of a black hole, where its mass lies, is known as its singularity, the single pint in space-time where the mass of the black hole is concentrated. The third thing I learned that I found the most fascinating is if the earth ever falls into a black hole, one of the effect that will happen is “spaghettification,” which means if objects come too close to a black hole, it will stretch out, just like a spaghetti. This effect is brought about by a gravitational gradient across the object or a body. For example, if earth comes too close to a black hole, the nearest part of the planet will be pulled by an enormous gravitational pull, while leaving the farthest part with a small gravitational force. The fourth thing I learned is that the new hypothesis suggests that anything that touches a black hole will become an

| The study of knowledge: What constitutes knowledge, the nature of knowledge, and whether knowledge is possible

James Green discusses in his speech the possibility of there being life beyond earth. Green starts off with a quote that is used in a lot of movies, books and television shows, “Is there life beyond earth in our solar system?” He follows this initial quote with one by Carl Sagan, an American astronomer, “It takes extraordinary evidence for extraordinary claims.” It is important for Green to use these two quotes as attention getters. He hooks the listener with his works and we begin to think if there really is life in our solar system then just on earth.

Unimaginable numbers of earth-like planets, beacons on the outer edge of our solar system, a constant presence in space; these ideas seem as if they have been taken straight

The main method that Ellis relies on to make his argument against the sweeping generalization against those who profess to have interacted with extraterrestrial beings is to use examples of specific instances to express what he is

Among the billions of stars in each galaxy, many have planets that revolve around them. At least a few are bound to be of the right size and have the correct spatial orientation with respect to their star to allow life to grow. We believe this because life exists on the Earth. Astronomers have concluded that there must be hundreds of billions of other stars with conditions approximating those of the sun. Therefore there could be a million earth like planets with advanced civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy alone (Stilley). It is very probable that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.

Five Billion Years of Solitude: The Search for Life Among the Stars immediately grabs its audience by suggesting the prospect of discovering life on other planets. Due to the topics nature being the premise of millions of books, television shows and movies, the possibility of other worlds being out there is very intriguing. The main goal of Five Billion Years of Solitude: The Search for Life Among the Stars by Lee Billings is to explain the quest for more information about “exoplanets” and the handful of people who devote their lives to finding them.

Humanity has gracefully matured, transitioning from nomadic hunter-gatherers to a strong, technological people. I stand where I am due to the virtue of my hard-working ancestors, whose efforts brought them down long paths from pre-industrialized Europe to the United States. Family trees sprouted, bloomed, and intertwined and, eventually, I was born to two aspiring teachers who taught me (almost) everything I know.

There was a great shift in humanity along the first slow paced and crude developments of our now diverse complexity as a species. Our ancestors embarked through an unimaginable dived from primitive beings to our ever evolving modern complexity. At a glance, this change from one way of life to another seems impossible.

Most astronauts and scientist believe that extraterrestrial civilization’s knowledge of the sciences, including mathematics, is much broader than that of human beings. Thus, contacting extra-terrestrial civilization could have a positive impact on expanding human’s knowledge of mathematics. However, as Goran Sonesson points out, the mathematical symbols and signs we use are most likely very different from those of theirs, even though they may have the same understanding of their environment as what we call mathematics (Sonesson, 2007).

Despite modern culture and its influences on the unknown, a black hole is not a well understood concept even by the greatest of minds. Robert Prigo describes a black hole as “…

“They believe that there could be a vast amount of planets on the other side. Even a planet with resources. It’s believed that wormholes come up once every billion years. Staying for 1000 years, we have the luck to see this wormhole and will be taking advantage of it.”

In reality, many scientists were skeptical of both UFOs and of alien life in general; they contended that interstellar travel would be easy for advanced civilizations, so the lack of overt contact disproved alien existence. Yet most UFO opponents do believe alien life exists out in the universe, just not here. So they defend the near impossibility of interstellar travel, which contradicts a considerable portion of the scientific community (Thompson, 1990).

Through the pursuit of a greater understanding of the known universe, our forefathers encountered patterns and anomalies which, through their extensive study, they were able to further their understanding of the universe which so intrigued them. Patterns are a reliable sample of traits, tendencies, or other observable characteristics of a person, group or institution. They are a combination of qualities, acts or tendencies that form a consistent or characteristic arrangement. Their counterparts, Anomalies are irregularities. They are a deviation from the common rule, type, arrangement or form. In other words, they are deviations from what is considered to be the norm, socially or scientifically. Patterns and anomalies have occurred within several instances in history. Dating back to the study of the heliocentric (the earth is round) nature of our planet by the famous Italian mathematician, physicist, philosopher and astronomer Galileo, man has always had a deep interest in the pursuit of knowledge to further our understanding of the natural world. And even as far back as the 17th century, patterns and anomalies had begun to arise and would later shape the way knowledge is gathered. Within Theory of Knowledge, patterns and anomalies have also occurred in the pursuit of knowledge. But first, what is this enigma we know to be knowledge. Knowledge can be said to be the fact or state of knowing; the perception of fact or truth; clear and certain mental apprehension. It is the
