Science Fiction : Extraterrestrial Life

The things they leave behind isn’t real, so people do it to make themselves get a lot of shares and likes on social media. The things humanity does today, like computer generating things to make us believe it’s there. Another thing is just plain faking it to make us think people really seen something. So in conclusion aliens are just an illusion and spiritual beings and a fake, which proves humanity today is so naive that we constantly put things that aren’t real and make questions for people to answer and start believing it, just to entertain

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

Aliens and life beyond earth has been a mystery for a long time. Many people and scientist have been looking for life outside of Earth, or just floating in the sky trying to get video of it. For all of human history we have been looking for extraterrestrial life, and these are the major events of finding, debunking, and moving forward to life on earth

So, what are aliens? Aliens are exterrestrial beings that allegedly live in outer space and did not originate from Earth. Outer space is incomprehensibly massive. The galaxy in which human beings live is referred to as the Milky Way, and there are an estimated 100 billion planets in that one galaxy alone(SPACE.com Staff). Seth Shostak, an American astronomer and a Senior Astronomer for the SETI Institute, argues, "If we are the only intelligent beings in the galaxy, or for that matter in the universe, then we are truly a miracle." According to SETI.org, The SETI Institute is a research organization whose mission is to

In the article “Alien World” by Alexander Zaitchik (2009), the author makes a logical argument about how Mexico’s impoverished economy is heavily dependent on migrant workers and how it has affected an indigenous people.   Zaitchik is a freelance journalist who is affiliated with Poverty Law, a U.S. organization that supports ethnic and racial tolerance. Zaitchik’s article attempts to convey the idea that Mexico’s economy is forcing people to take desperate measures in order to survive.   He uses his

To many Aliens are just a character in Sci-Fi movies and books but are they actually real?

Exobiology is the science that is concerned with the search for life in outer space; it may be called as astrobiology as well. The search for life in outer space has consumed the imagination of the humankind for long time ago. Nowadays, humankind has made a progress and found major discoveries in the quest for life existence in the universe and outer space because of the advancement of the technology. However, in the past, exobiology was considered as a science without a subject, where the people and other scientists laughed at and ridiculed the famous scientist and biologist Joshua Lederberg when he originated the term exobiology. Some people argue that life exists elsewhere in the universe, however, others believe that life only exist on Earth. A new study reveals that our galaxy, the Milky Way, has 100 billion or so stars, where 17 billion of them are Earth-size alien planets, and probably many more. The huge size of the galaxy increases the probability of life existence in the outer space. Are we alone in the universe? This question has captured the imaginations of scientist, theologians, and astrobiologists. However, they don’t know the answer yet. Understanding the complete definition of life and how life originated, and determining the techniques used for searching for life existence in outer space and evidences found can help to answer the question of “Are we alone in the universe?”

If other solar systems are anything like ours, they are bound to have many planets. Not all habitable, but planets none the

Why do people not tell their family or friends about their problems? In Kristen D. Randle’s “The only alien on the planet,” Ginny wanted to help Michael but Michael didn’t open up to them So they started to push him to open up and made him end up at a mental hospital. We can learn that we need to open up to our friends and family and not just keep secrets so that they can help us from The Only Alien on The Planet.

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.

When tasked with choosing a book from the library, I decided to search for books about extraterrestrial life, and more specifically, how the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Life) Institute is organized. For my “Writing, Rhetoric and Discourse” course, the goal for the quarter is to create a cohesive argument on any topic of our choice. While I do not have a solid argument as of now, I will be using multiple articles and documentaries to help provide my claim with evidence. However, since the quarter will be very short, I will not be able to read through numerous books for my essay. The book that I chose will be one of the few that I will read and analyze for my argument.

Although extraterrestrials never seen in 2001: A Space Odyssey, let along directly encounter by the characters in it, they play a vital role within the movie’s narrative. The monoliths encountered by the Australopithecines, scientists, and Dr. David Bowman in the desert, on the moon, and orbiting Jupiter, respectively, were all heavily implied to be placed by the unseen extraterrestrials. Each of these monoliths initiated an event that affected the party that encountered it, usually by causing some form of philosophical evolution. Furthermore, Bowman was transported to, lived, and died inside a palatial hotel room, and then was transformed into the Star Child and returned to Earth.

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

Science is an ongoing process that involves critical thinking and never has a definitive answer. This paper explores the Gaia hypothesis that is the idea that Earth is alive and is livable. It also goes over the comparison of Life’s Rocky Start and Grinspoon’s chapter 2, Can a Planet be Alive? I found that the producer of Life’s Rocky Start added a lot of references to scientists that have studied humans imprint on Earth. Grinspoon also mentions scientists and researchers that have shaped the lens in which we look at Earth today. Earth is undergoing alterations that other planets we have studied have not and the only justification for such progression to our planet is life. The scientists in both pieces draw attention to other planets and use

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).
