only place to seek for non-human life now is other planets. Is there any hope for finding it? There are a great number of theories concerning extraterrestrial life. According to the “rare Earth hypothesis”, the conditions on Earth are close to unique and the possibility of them taking place on any other planet is close to zero. However, this theory takes it for granted that the appearance of life requires conditions identical to those on Earth. But is it true? If life on other planets exists, it may

As we know, the people who explain about forms of life from other planets can be either terrifying or thrilling to the audience. In Christopher C. French's article "Close encounters of the psychological kind" states about four different kinds of psychological explanation due to each kind of encounters with the aliens. French, a psychology professor and who does Anomalistic Psychology Research Unit at the University of London, first talks about how the sightings are one of the created images that

History has shown us that throughout time, the human race has been fascinated with mystery. From ridiculous theories, such as aliens building pyramids, to the well picked over, yet still unyielding mystery of Easter Island, people never fail to find a story to ponder. However, arguably one of the most controversial mysteries is the mystery of Roswell, New Mexico. In July, 1947, Mac Brazel discovered some debris that he thought was from a UFO. Later the US. government assured the public that it wasn’t

unintentionally. We understand this, so we feel a connection with ET making him feel more real and normal. When Eliot (Main Character) meats ET, he doesn’t take the encounter to lightly, and rightfully so. Eliot nor anybody else in the film has met an alien life form before. ET moving towards Eliot awkwardly and somewhat hostile really didn’t help. We were already set up with an emotion towards ET, so its assumed we know he means no harm. With this in mind, you could say the way ET confronted Eliot was kind

or not, you’re in the minority if you believe that absolutely no intelligent life exists outside of planet Earth.

Fifty percent of Americans already believe that there is some form of life on other planets, while only seventeen percent believe there is not. A quarter of Americans believe that intelligent extraterrestrial visitors have already come to Earth and have been doing so for a long time. (source)

planet earth, also known as an extraterrestrial life form. Although I do not believe that the green, one-eyed, Hollywood-influenced alien exists, I do believe that there are living organisms on other planets in this universe. The universe is so large that it is next to impossible to be able to examine every aspect of it, as we are still discovering new species here on earth. I do not believe that Aliens have not come to our planet; however, I do believe that there is life on other planets. As Joshua

most serious threat to the survival of humankind over the next two centuries is the true to be told fact that life on Earth is growing rapidly, and resulting overpopulation. It is important for us humans to relieve the shortage of natural resources, such as gas and oil. As we might already know, our economy and lifestyles are really dependent on the two. With limited resources, makes life on Earth quite more serious. As time goes, humans must solve this problem before larger problems result the

This review discusses the possible microbial habitability on Mars, assuming variable conditions and ingredients favoring life on Mars. Westall et al (2013) analysed certain considerations to hypothesize that the potential emergence of life on Mars over time was not constant. There have been mineralogical and geological evidence supporting the availability of water and as discussed, there may have been possible routes where martian habitability could have flourished. Although there is adequately

latter is the panspermia theory which suggests that life did not originate on earth; but rather came to earth from somewhere else in the universe. It is the idea that the ingredients for life are found throughout the universe and are able to initiate life given a habitable environment. While this theory may seem improbable to some, increasing evidence suggests that this idea may have more truth to it than some may believe. In order for life to have come to earth from somewhere else in the universe
