Existence of Extra Terrestrial Life Essay

Times have changed. I have seen E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982) a few times before in the past and always thought it was more aimed toward kids than adults, nevertheless, rewatching it again with newer eyes I have come to appreciate its cinematic value. The whole aspect of the film is done in such a skillful, clever, and humble way that focuses on family, friendship, and love. Given the fact that this is science fiction and dealing with a mysterious UFO landing, there is some level of anxiety involving the whereabouts of a stranded alien that is mainly felt from the rattled adults (parents, teachers, and government men) in the film. But the obvious spooky nature of the film quickly turns into an uplifting and extremely funny movie that has a sense of wonder and caring that can capture the heart of moviegoing audiences of all ages, young and old. An alien spacecraft sits parked in a forest in California, a group of space explorers from another planet are very curious about the plant life on Earth. One of them has wandered off from the main group, when…

all is remarkable about it, except for the fact that it harbors life. Though millions of other planets with similar conditions to Earth exist, scientists have yet to find another planet occupied by any sort of intelligent beings. This led Enrico Fermi to pose the question, “Where is everybody?” (Fermi) Perhaps, the answer to this questions is that extraterrestrials exist, but simply undetected. Assuming that life developed other planets similarly to the way that it arose on Earth, the…

There has been much controversy over the possibility of the existence of alien life. Many people believe the consideration of alien life is just ridiculous, but over the year it has become a much less taboo way of thinking. The new argument would be whether alien life forms have been in contact with humans or not. Many people believe they have, while the majority of the world think that it is completely ludicrous. I fall in the minority who believes there has been contact and there are great…

Aliens have been questioned for ages. There are stories, folktales, movies, and books all based on the topic of extraterrestrial life. Research has been done, yet sadly, the conclusion is still unknown. Experts show that extraterrestrials may exist. They may exist because there is proof they exist, there has been sightings and encounters involving extraterrestrial life forms, and there has been scientific reports that other planets have the ability to sustain life. It is possible that aliens…

been done about the possibility of aliens have not followed good experimental guidelines. For instance, a main concern with many experiments about aliens is the use of purposive sampling. The specific target individuals are those who believe in UFO’s or extraterrestrials, and those who claim to have been abducted by aliens. This creates a problem of sampling because no matter what the actual experiment may be, the sample only consists of believers which is not an accurate representation of the…

Throughout history, humans have always held a fascination with extraterrestrial life. Science fiction tales were written in the second and tenth centuries (Joy and “Satire or the First Science”). Crop circles were claimed to be found in medieval times (Radford). Searches for canals built by martians were carried out more than two hundred years ago (Simon). The fascination with alien life integrated itself into human culture and as it changes, the beliefs change as well. Science fiction allows…

the show the more immersed I felt in knowledge about the extra terrestrial. Some of the things found in our world history are way too advanced for ancient civilizations. This show went in depth on what ways the world to advance and theories on how the advanced works and technologies…

Religious Group 1. Introduction The Heaven’s Gate American religious group is one of great notoriety due to its atypical beliefs and short lived existence that culminated in a mass suicide. They are considered a UFO religious group due to their belief system and experienced a large popularization really only after their dissolution – making their history short but the mark they made on religious history profound. 2. History To begin, Heaven’s Gate was formed in the years of 1972 to 1975 by two…

The term “alien” deters people from even considering the existence of these beings due to the extremes and stereotypes placed on them through science-fiction movies and comics. An alien is not an evil, manipulative race that is trying to conquer the earth, which is portrayed in nearly all of the alien resources that are in the world today, but instead a living being with the same curiosity as ourselves. The stereotypical alien is too far-fetched for universal acceptance, but the reality of…

A human is essentially an explorer in his or her own way. Early humans explored for their physiological needs while modern humans explore their internal environment to learn more about oneself. Exploration builds wisdom. In a book that I read – 'Pale Blue Dot' by Carl Sagan – the author expresses how Space research has helped humanity realize the insignificance of international quarrels and disputes. His writings convey the idea that from the space, the earth is nothing but a pale blue dot,…
