Many topics exist in the modern world about the issues of politics, of scientific standpoints, of religious statuses, and even those of freedom. The topic of life on other planets has had its fair share of publicity. Stories of personal experiences, sightings, and encounters have navigated its way into the thoughts of many. Newsweek, reports in a poll that more than half of Americans believe in the existence of intelligent aliens. What does this mean for the world? Is the majority wrong once again or must we investigate the possibilities? Ray Douglas Bradbury, an American fantasy, science fiction author tapped into the notion of possible life on other planets, touched on the many mysteries of time, and grazed on the interaction between aliens and humans in “August 2002: Night Meeting.” A short story located in his collection The Martian Chronicles. Are there any answers to the questions presented? Evidence hasn’t shown aliens to exist or has it? Most importantly, does the Bible make anything clear about such findings? A common excuse for Christians to believe in extraterrestrial life is they believe the universe is much too large to just consist of only Earth’s inhabitants. Having life exists only on Earth would therefore be a waste of space. Firstly, we will look into the idea of life on other planets, but before we can look at life on other planets we must look at the composition of life in our modern world. Google defines life as “a characteristic distinguishing physical
This article is about the author having an interview with Ray Bradbury about how people are mistreated because they was been kept uninformed and ignorant about censorship when its really about technology destroying the use of reading. This is because in the book itself, reading is discouraged (illegal) and television is persuading. The author of this article suggests that Ray Bradbury would observe to see how has technology shows a problems.People will adapt when
During the twentieth century American faced the industrial age. Many new inventions came in the making such as the atomic bomb and satellites. America was also faced with the space age and the Cold war, along with racial tensions and religious intolerances. All these events leading up to 1950, inspired Ray Bradbury to write The Martian Chronicles, where Bradbury combined the power struggle between the United States and the Soviet Union with the new rocket technology and space exploration, and created for the readers, the possible outcomes as technology took over the lives of humans. In The Martian Chronicles, Bradbury first started with how the people on Mars lived peacefully with their environment, and allowed technology to better their

Throughout history humanity has been fascinated by the existence of extraterrestrial life. Today such ventures are in the development process and the discovery of life beyond our solar system, no matter how primitive, may soon become a huge(important?) scientific breakthrough. The three basic things that are required to consider a place even remotely habitable are water, a source of energy, and organic materials. Habitability also depends on other factors that must also be taken into consideration such as how close the planet is to its star (in the case of our solar system, the sun), how long the water and organic materials existed there, and the size and mass of the planet. One must not confuse habitable with inhabited. The term
I had to agree about Ingram thesis. The first one when it said "what would Bradbury think of the world we live in now?" I now understand what this means. And I like the second thesis that is very connecting to the first one. He was thinking that books are the most intelligence part of the culture while the internet either give or send a bad message or information. I found him to see this is going to far. In Shirky, one of the thesis you put in is one of my work. To me, I just thought that this is to inform us. Technology helps us to find hidden information instead of looking at books for many hours. but with computers will find helpful information under an hour. Both articles you choose are very good and is on the point. If they just give this
Abstract: Scientists claim that other life forms do in fact exist based on probability. The conditions necessary for life are likely to be present on various other planets. Signs of possible life have been found in material from outer space. Much research has been dedicated to proving the existence of life on Mars. SETI is a program entirely dedicated to finding and establishing communication with extra terrestrials. If other life forms are found, communication with these beings will be a difficult task. Laws to protect humans from the dangers of extraterrestrial beings are already in effect. Although contact with alien beings has not yet been made, technology today may make it a reality in the near future.
The title of my paper is called, “Life on Another Planet.” The purpose of my essay is to explore the question of do aliens exist? I explained the possibilities that there could be other life out there in space. My conclusion was that in the future scientists could discover a planet where we can move to and live in, and even meet new species of life. As a result, scientists should develop more tools
The film Contact was an incredible story about the mysteries and possibilities of life outside of our galaxy. Although science has been proving its possibilities through our advancements and increases in technology, the discovery of these other worldly extraterrestrial civilizations has proven to be more fictitious than fact to some now. Though many do believe this outside universal communication is possible now, we just need to wait for them to contact us. Discovering these civilizations and this information could affect our life on Earth substantially in both positive and negative ways. The Largest Discovery in Human History The possibility of extra-terrestrial life has sparked the hearts and mind of people worldwide since the mid-20th century.
Should we as humans expect to find intelligent life elsewhere in the Universe? There are many reasons for and against this concept, but first we should trace just how our terrestrial life started.
The idea of life in the Universe evokes different feelings in people. Some find the idea scary, some find it hopeful, and evidence of life elsewhere would challenge the beliefs of many religious or spiritual people who believe that humans are created in another beings image. When you delve into the thought of alien life, a few questions arise..
Do you think that life exists in planets other than Earth? Well, if the atmosphere of Jupiter becomes less violent, simple organisms may form. This is because its form today resembles Earth when it was in its early stages. Gradually, they will combine to make complex living structures. When the gases of Earth were exposed to heat from the Sun, ultraviolet energy, or lightning flashes, created amino acids. These combined to make living cells! Additionally, astrologists think that life may exist on Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons because there is evidence that water may exist beneath its surface. Water is a major requirement for life, so if there is liquid water on
Life on other planets isn't impossible. Scientists are even doing studies on this topic today. When we look at life, it really revolves around the habitability of the place. Over the many years of research,
There are approximately seven billion people living on the Earth right now. Who can picture 1 million people, let alone 7 billion people? Yet the total incomprehension of it does not make the fact any less true. Nobody has ever seen an alien or an organism that has not originated from Earth, yet it does not make the prospect any less valid. Most citizens of Earth cannot imagine living anywhere else but on this blue planet, but that should not make the possibility of it any less real. Space, like the future, is always ahead of us, and no one can predict what it has in store for us or what ideas will be found. Outside of the Earth, life in the universe is not such an inane thought as was once believed. Firstly, there are a
The argument suggesting life existing on other Earth-like planets has been present since man first looked into space and questioned his own existence and the existence of others like him. Today there are many theories on the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, but only one theory goes beyond them and into an even larger realm. The contents of this theory, known as the “multiverse” theory, suggest that humans on Earth live within one universe of many others that reside within a primordial vacuum containing many other universes (Jenkins and Perez). Each of these universes possesses potentially different natural constants and physical laws that govern them differently, thus calling forth some logical questions. First,
possibility of life existing on other worlds has been the subject of speculation for years.14 In
