Extraterrestrial hypothesis

According to an article on LiveScience, "One in 10 respondents say they have personally witnessed an alien spaceship." As well as "79 percent of people think the government has kept information about UFOs a secret from the public." Extraterrestrial beings or aliens and UFOs have been a part of American culture since the 1940s. The people who believe in UFOs believe in the extraterrestrial hypothesis, which states that unidentified flying objects or UFOs are a way of transportation for extraterrestrial beings. During the 1940s and 1950s, there was a rise in both unidentified flying objects and believers of the extraterrestrial hypothesis, but both should not be taken seriously because both can be explained as a by-product of Cold War paranoia,…

We can use BT with the invading UFOs. What’s the chance that an abducting UFO is from Zargon? (What is the chance that a UFO is from Zargon given that it abducts?) P(Zargon|Abduct) = P(Abduct|Zargon) x P(Zargon) P(Abduct) P(Zargon|Abduct) = 3 /8 x 8 /20 = 24/160 = 1 /2 6 /20 6 /20 This is the answer we’ve already seen. iv. -AT LEAST ONEWe flip three coins. What is the chance that any (at least one) of them lands Heads? We could solve this problem the way we’ve already done: count the outcomes…

Research Question How did the supposed alien landing at Roswell, although seemingly debunked, help create a global followings of alien believers? History and Debate Aliens have been in a part of popular culture since the 19th century, H. G. Wells War of the Worlds being a prime example. It wasn’t until the discovery of a metallic disk by a factory foreman in the town of Roswell in 1947 that the ball that is alien conspiracy theories started rolling. Although the idea of an alien space craft…

the habitable zones of stars in the Milky Way galaxy (Khan). If even one percent of those planets were to have developed life that would give us 400 million planets which host some form of life. Out of those 400 million, if one percent of those developed intelligent life, that’s 4 million planets out there with intelligent life – and that’s solely within our galaxy. Multiply that 4 million by the number of galaxies in the universe (current estimates place that number somewhere around 100…

sightings of UFOs increased and the government began to investigate more and more sightings. Out these sightings stemmed testimonies of aliens abducting humans, taking them up in their space crafts and even performing reproductive experiments on a chosen few. Proponents of UFOs claim there have been three incidents that are the best evidence for extraterrestrials. These incidents are Roswell, Area 51, and the Battle of Los Angeles. Opponents of UFOs and alien abductions argue that there has been…

A case study reflecting on observations of children’s schematic interests. In the paper I will be discussing the history and theories of schemas. I will include observations on a child’s schematic interests and my role as the practitioner. A Schema is a pattern of repeatable behaviour into which experiences are assimilated and that are gradually coordinated. (Athey, 1990:37) Children’s patterns are influenced through their genetically pre-determined biological development and the socio-cultural…

effect conditions for both natural and social phenomena. It can be possible when the elements, interaction of which is studied in controlled experimental conditions. And the researcher`s control over variables allows him to draw conclusions about cause-effect relationships between them. The laboratory experiments focus on the description of the connections between the behavior and its causes. These connections can be distinguished only when the experimenter has full control over individual`s…

This current semester I had the opportunity to do a project that allowed me to visit one of my friend’s family to observe her three girls. I observed her three daughters to see how each one of them is developing. I was fortunate enough to have three different ages that are at different stages of life. One just started school, the other one is not in school yet and the youngest was born less than a year ago. It really opened my eyes to how two year differences can really impact the stage the…

Norms are defined as the expectations of how people are expected to act in public. I was required to violate a norm in public and also observe a norm violation. In addition, for my norm violation I decided to go to a public place and do something that people are not expecting to see. I went to an In-and-out that is located on Panama ln and I started working out in front of costumers. For my norm violation observation I observed a co-worker that is always picking up soda cans from everyone. …
