After reading lots about Mycorrhizal Networks and Trees and Bryozoans, I believe intelligent extraterrestrial life might be far more different from us than we assume.

It is so common to be stationary and fixed in place as an organism, I think aliens might not be able to grasp the concept of "travel," let alone space travel.

Communication is another difficulty. Would an organism adapted to communicate by chemical signals or by simply being linked physically to other organisms be able to comprehend the idea of sending messages between stars?

And then there is the issue of scale.

Organisms the size of, for instance, bees would take so long to establish a global/planet-wide communication, travel and trade network that progressing to interest in space travel might prove impossible.

As life forms go, humans are incredibly large. We are megafauna. The vast, vast majority of all living things on earth, even counting only multicellular things, are smaller than a human. It is deeply out of the ordinary for us to be so big.

This means that the spread of human populations, the impact of humans on their environment, and the ability of humans to communicate with each other over long distances progressed much, much faster than it would have if we were more average in size.

But it would also be detrimental if we were larger. The larger the creature, the harder it gets physically not only to overcome the gravity of your planet, but to create any type of transportation that can move you faster than you can move yourself.

The bigger you are, the more economical it becomes to either be in water or not move around at all.

The Sandown Clown is a mysterious humanoid that was encountered by 2 children in May of 1973 at Lake Common in Sandown on the Isle of Wight in the UK. The Sandown Clown is described as a tall humanoid standing around 6.5 feet tall and very thin with white skin that had the feel and look of paper; it's hands and feet also only had three digits on them and it had two triangular blue eyes, a brown rectangular shaped nose, and yellow lips which all appeared to be painted on it and it also wore a hat in where reddish-brown hair could be seen under it; it also had two antenna which appeared to be made of wood and it also carried a microphone. The Sandown Clown was said to be friendly but very shy and scared of humans; it was so scared of humans in fact that it said if it were attacked, it would not defend itself. It drank water from the stream that it cleaned before drinking it and ate berries that it ate oddly; it ate them by putting its head forward and moving the berries back and forth between both of its eyes and then down into its mouth. It had a sign that had the words, "Sam" and "All colors". When the kids asked if it was a ghost the Sandown Clown replied, Well not really, but I am in an odd sort of way." Any other questions the children asked it about itself it replied with "You know". The kids talked to it for 30 minutes then it was never seen again. To this day, the Sandown Clown still remains a mystery.

Humpback whale "conversations" provide valuable insight on how humans may one day communicate with life beyond Earth. Researchers from the SETI Institute, University of California Davis and the Alaska Whale Foundation recently "conversed" with a humpback whale named Twain using an underwater speaker and recorded a humpback "contact" call. Twain responded to the researchers' call by matching the interval variations between signals of each playback call over a 20-minute period. If you're having a Star Trek flashback, yes, this is awfully reminiscent of that one film in which the crew receives alien whale transmissions that can only be decoded underwater. And in fact, mirroring our sci-fi fantasies, this demonstration of interspecies communication has implications for the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, according to a statement from the SETI Institute.

Every time I see or hear people discussing the Fermi paradox they talk about stuff like the great filter, aliens hiding from us, humans being the first intelligent life, etc, but I almost never hear what I think is the simplest and most probable solution. That the aliens are really far away from us because the universe is fucking huge

Strongest sign of alien life found on exoplanet k2 18b planet by James webb telescope. There is methane, dimethyl sulphide, carbon dioxide. This planet is 124 lights years away from earth. God! Universe is so fascinating.

And, I believe there are many planets which have life in this endless and infinite universe. Imagine, this is the real "life after death" about what we read in books. We humans don't die, we just leave earthly body on earth and shift to a new planet some hundreds and thousands light years away from earth. Life is wonderful in a weird way.

#Life on exoplanets #aliens and humans #Extraterrestrial life #james webb space telescope #Science is self correcting #There is so much we don't know and what we know maybe it's only half truth #Why this is not trending on Tumblr??????#I am gona disappear again.. just wanted to post this cuz it sounds so exciting #Earthlings are going to find new partner lol #scribblersobia

The Men in Black are an alleged faction of the government who many believe are involved in silencing UFO witnesses and doing coverups on UFO and extraterrestrial sightings. The first sightings of the Men in Black took place in the 1950′s where their description was still the same as it is today; tall men who were typically bald and in their mid to late 30′s-40′s wearing black suits, white shirts, black ties, and black bowler hats. Witnesses who have encountered the Men in Black say are very hostile and intimidating; they threaten or imply threats of harm to the UFO witness or their family and friends if they don’t remain silent, destroy any evidence they had, or simply to stop researching the matter all together. Usually visits from the Men in Black are a one time thing however sometimes people are visited by them more than once. Some people believe that they are a faction of the FBI or CIA or another government organization while some believe they are extraterrestrials or are supernatural and paranormal in nature themselves. People have also made connections between them and the Black eyed Children saying they feel a feeling of dread when visited by the Men in Black or see them with the Black eyed Children themselves. Some people just believe that the Men in Black are a myth but we may never know the true identities of these mysterious and iconic figures.

In the realm of stars, a cosmic tale unfolds, Of alien beings, interstellar journeys bold. A challenge loomed, insurmountable it seemed, Yet heroes rose, their destiny supreme. In the vastness of space, they'd come to find, The key to overcome, a bond so kind. United, they conquered, and worlds they saved, A testament to friendship, eternally engraved.
