Introduction
|
|
|
|
Ever wondered what lies beyond our own Solar System, beyond our
|
|
furthest planet Pluto, beyond what our most powerful telescopes can
|
|
project. With the latest in Technology and Sciences, we (The Human Race)
|
|
have only chipped off a flake of the great Pillar of Technology and
|
|
Civilization.
|
|
The question is: Are we alone?
|
|
Are human beings the only possessors of eyes that search the night sky for
|
|
new galaxies. The only builders of devices that extend the natural senses.
|
|
The only owners of minds that think and derive the meanings of everything
|
|
around them?
|
|
|
|
And the answer is just possibly: We are not alone! There are others
|
|
that see, touch, feel, smell, and taste. There are others that think and
|
|
explore, fight and make peace, or are they completely different? It is all
|
|
unknown... and it is all waiting to be found...
|
|
|
|
The Search Within
|
|
The early Astronomers believed that the Moon was a another world, with
|
|
a entire new civilization at heed. The first person that took advantage of
|
|
this well spoken of legend, was a reporter for The New York Sun, whose name
|
|
was John Herschel (1792-1871), Herschel was interested in life on other
|
|
planets, so he went to South Africa with decent equipment. But what he saw
|
|
was not what he wrote, when he returned to New York he made up a story
|
|
about seeing men with flaps over there eyes to shield them form the
|
|
brightness which the Moon gave off. He told of rivers and lakes and green
|
|
everywhere, that story had made the Sun the best-selling newspaper for a
|
|
month, but was soon revoked when a famous astronomer noted no such thing as
|
|
life because of the "Airlessness" of the Moon.
|
|
|
|
After a few years, past the first man on the Moon, there was the first
|
|
launch to Mars to examine the possibility of life. The idea was that
|
|
because Mars was still in the Sun's Ecosphere and that it had ice caps
|
|
meant that there was or still is water on Mars. When the Crew of the NASA
|
|
ship Titan landed on Mars with 150 lbs. of equipment they began work
|
|
immediately, first they analyzed the soil, which was rich in minerals, then
|
|
the atmosphere which was 1.06 % of the atmosphere of Earth, therefore the
|
|
atmosphere would leak a dangerously high level of UV rays into the planet.
|
|
So Mars was rendered inhabitable for human life and quite possibly the only
|
|
life found on planet like Mars would be low intellect single celled beings.
|
|
So then we cast out our Inner Solar System as a possible space for
|
|
extraterrestrial life.
|
|
|
|
The Outer Solar System
|
|
In the Outer Solar System there is only one "Satellite" that has a
|
|
atmosphere, the moon Titan of the Planet Jupiter, it mostly made up of
|
|
gassy methane and is much denser than Mars atmosphere, it is the only
|
|
planet in the Solar System with an Atmosphere, it was visualized that Titan
|
|
had lakes and oceans with near freezing Methane, in other words it was a
|
|
huge lake of lighter fluid. On Jupiter the biggest planet in our Solar
|
|
System it mostly made out of boiling Hydrogen which means that there a
|
|
little bit of water on Jupiter, but, taking the size of Jupiter, a little
|
|
bit would be alot. The temperature on Jupiter is cold but the core of
|
|
Jupiter is near the crust and the heat it gives off would be adequate to
|
|
support life, IF the life was underwater life and during the frigid cold
|
|
just dove deeper where it was nearer to the crust. So Jupiter is a
|
|
possibility, a slim one, but a possibility. Nebular Hypothesis
|
|
|
|
Having gone rather exhaustively through the Solar System, it would
|
|
appear that although there may be life on several worlds other than Earth.
|
|
In the book "Extraterrestrial Civilizations" by Isaac Isamov. An early
|
|
astronomer by the name of Thomas Wright in 1750 who began counting the
|
|
stars in the universe in sectors and/or quadrants. He noticed that as soon
|
|
as he started to get nearer to the milky way the more stars per quadrant
|
|
there were so we came up with a rough chart of the galaxy and derived a
|
|
system to count the ammount of stars in the universe.
|
|
|
|
So this gives us the first note...
|
|
Ä Ammount of Stars in the Galaxy = 300,000,000
|
|
|
|
In Outer Space, there a Nebular Clouds that form all the stars,
|
|
planetary systems, etc. In these clusters the planets are formed and the
|
|
due to the great number of wobbling stars, nebular stars etc. We come to
|
|
the conclusion that not all stars will be able to hold on to their
|
|
planetary systems so the next note is... Ä The number of planetary systems
|
|
in the galaxy 280,000,000 In the galaxy there are not only stars that match
|
|
our Suns trajectory, there are the giant which even from a distance of
|
|
Pluto to the sun, where as the Sun is a little bigger than the average
|
|
star, the heat on that planet would reach the same degrees as the planet
|
|
Venus, which is stuck in a horrible Greenhouse Effect. Also White Dwarfs,
|
|
a very common star in the galaxy, unfourtunately, they cannot put out
|
|
enough heat to keep the necessary elements in the Ecosphere. The next
|
|
note... Ä The number of planetary systems in our galaxy that circle Sunlike
|
|
stars = 75,000,000,000.
|
|
|
|
The Next Target
|
|
|
|
With a rough look at the odds, we venture the next possibilty... Space
|
|
Travel. Lets just say, we are able to travel at the speed of light and
|
|
venturing past the Einstein explaned Theory of Relativity and take a vessel
|
|
to Alpha Centauri and also saying that we can stop immediately and reack
|
|
the speed of light immediately it would still take 4.40 years just to reach
|
|
the Alpha Centauri system. But in reality, to reach the Alpha Centauri
|
|
System, we would need a year to speed up, eight years to get there at a
|
|
speed the human body can take and then a year to slow down, and a year to
|
|
explore all the new planets. Thats eleven years, round trip. So Space
|
|
travel is possible, but at the cost of eleven years.
