Is That an Alien in my Backyard?
Since early in elementary science teachers teach us that the universe is growing or expanding; and that the Earth is only over four trillion years old; the universe is a lot bigger then the Earth, it has millions of galaxies, solar systems, stars, and other earth-like planets so it is probably older then Earth. We (being the people of Earth) are part of the Milky Way galaxy, and the next galaxy is millions of light years from us. Alien life visiting Earth is probably the most ridiculed thing today. From the author's perspective, there is proof of alien life not only in the universe, but also data of alien life in Roswell NM, and evidence of ancient science that make itself known though-out mathematical and architectural features on Earth.
First of all: what is life? Is it a plant 20,000 leagues under the sea? Alien life could take on a very different form, which is unknown to scientists. According to several dictionaries life is a property or quality of plants and animals that distinguishes them from inorganic matter or dead organisms: self-awareness, conscience, and intelligence. Extraterrestrial means originating or occurring outside Earth or its atmosphere. It is to be assumed that extraterrestrial life would be a combination of the three. Any planet similar to Earth could have developed life.
Furthermore, just a little over 50 years ago in July of 1947, a supposed crash in Roswell, NM was covered up by the government, but the public and media fascination about it continues still today. People publish about the "Roswell Incident in 1947" that are supposedly true one week, and the next it is changed saying the "Roswell Incident in 1947," never happened. About three to five aliens supposedly crashed their alien craft while in July of 1947, a supposed crash in Roswell, NM. Three, two, or one alien(s) died instantly, one supposedly lived shortly but died later, and one lived. Several people who have claimed to have witnessed the aliens being autopsied have published the pictures and stories in tabloids, magazines, and WWW (World Wide Web); and there is also a Fox movie "Alien Autopsies" which many people (including the government) are claiming it is false. The media and public is still curious, wondering about if the people of Earth are alone and the government still ignores questions about it and claims to know nothing about what happened in 1947. So the public is left to guess what really happened that hot summer day 50 years ago.
In effect, since early time there have been ancient mathematical, scientific, and architectural accomplishments that are astonishing. The ancient Sphinx and 'The Face on Mars' are both similar but the face on Mars was seen a few years ago and the Sphinx is centuries years old. Because the Sphinx includes several enormous pyramids and massive Sphinx-like face, some argue that they might be the work of intelligent and technology advanced beings. Scientists have officially opposed the view of the face on Mars in the same one on the Sphinx, asserting that the structure are not structures at all but tandem geological patterns. Some scientists say the face on Mars, was probably sculpted by slow geological processed over millions of years. Nevertheless, they could be wrong. It's hard to be sure about a world scientists have seen so little of in extreme close-up. Pi (22/7 or 3.14), is a transcendental number expressing the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle. The earliest (or oldest) record of Pi would be in "The Bible (1 King 7:23 and II Chronicles 4:2)" which had value of 3, not very accurate. The Egyptians, which dated about 1650 BC, used something closer to the value of Pi 25/8 = 3.125; but the first theoretical calculation seems to have been carried out by Archimedes of Syracuse (287-212 BC). He obtained the approximation 223/71 < Pi < 22/7. Now some might say he used algebraic and trigonometric notation, but trigonometry was unhistorical and he derived it by purely geometrical means. Moreover he did not even have the advantage of our decimal notation for numbers, so that the calculations are pretty profound achievement; so it is no wonder that he stopped with polygons of 96 sides. Another example is Stonehenge which is a group of large stones forming a circle, which was built by the unknown people of ancient England who finished building it 2,000 years before Druids came to the Salisburu Plain. Some say that it was used as an observatory to view the various stages of the moon. In "Stonehenge Decode," by Gerald Hawkins reveals many of the stages in its pictures, such as showing the sun set exactly on the tip of the heel stone. So something of unknown origins, might of influence Pi, the Sphinx, or Stonehenge.
In summing up, one cannot help but keep an open mind. So when you look up at the stars, think about the possibilities that lie awaiting to be discovered. After-all, this is a very old universe, and there is no proof that there is not another planet or galaxy other than our own with other life in (or on) it.
