Are We Aliens? - Advances in BioSeTI & What You Need to Know

 

"So far our knowledge of the solar system suggests that life is unique to Earth, but, as science and technology advance, we will have to modify ideas that we currently regard as facts. It remains to be seen if the questions regarding the origin of life on Earth and the origin of life in the universe have the same answer." -Sonali S. Joshi

 A Few Basic Facts About The Biological Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence Program (BioSeTI)

1. What the project is trying to accomplish: "Find answers to questions and examine alternate models that appear to fit better than currently accepted models of life and the universe."
2. What successes they expect: "We've already been successful by identifying a mathematical progression in the genetic code.  The genetic code has been around for more than three decades, so why hasn't someone seen this progression before?  That aside, success should not be measured in it's contribution to technology or practical problem solving. "
3. What feelings they have about ties to Intelligent Design: "Our position is that the BioSeTI project is not well served by associating itself with either side of a debate about ID.  With that said, BioSeTI also does not take a stand against proposals of ID scientists without first hearing what proposal is being considered, nor does it have a goal of refuting Darwinism."
4. How about Darwin?: "BioSeTI does not disagree with Darwin.  However, what arises out of NeoDarwinism as it is currently constituted might be something that needs refining so that it isn't so closely wed to the proposition that the universe is preexistent to consciousness rather than concurrent with it or that concurrence is a non-existent phenomenon."
5. BioSeTI is a search for evidence that can also closely support the Panspermia theory,  a theory that hypothesizes that life on Earth originated from elsewhere in the universe. For more on the Panspermia theory see links below.

Two scientists recently stated in a study that they believe portions of our DNA, specifically pointing to obvious mathematical or ideographical patterns of language found in DNA, are actually intelligent signals embedded inside our genetic coding from elsewhere in the universe.

Alien messages inside all of our carbon based cells. The very element that we know only comes from a dying star, and our star hasn't died. So if there is a message in our DNA, and we can only be made with elements found outside of this galaxy, did we originate from this galaxy? Certainly not.

This information if proven to be true would also raise a lot of questions, perhaps questions far beyond our capability of answering like; if someone wrote our DNA sequence, what made the author of it? And if our foundation  of life is of extra-terrestrial origin, does that mean we are aliens? and Could our fascination with  ET's just be a subconscious push to figure out ourselves and our own origins?

The possibilities are endless.

Hurricanes on Speed - The Hypercane

The hypercane theory was an accident, the StumbleUpon of the 90s. Kerry Emanuel, a professor at MIT was just trying to figure out what the highest intensity an ordinary hurricane could reach, but he found something entirely different instead. Emanuel, with his research team which included Nobel laureate Mario Molina, found that instead of hurricanes just getting warmer and creating new levels in the Safir-Simpson scale the intensity simply skyrocketed. The sudden jump in their models required them to classify it as an entirely different storm, thus creating the Hypercane.

So what exactly is a hypercane?

A hypercane is a theoretical extreme tropical cyclone of massive proportions that are caused by an extreme heating of the ocean in a particular area, probable causes being a direct impact from an asteroid or a significant underwater volcanic eruption.

During 1980 Physicist Luis Alvarez and Geologist son Walter Alvarez found something that supported the hypercane theory when searching the rock layers of the KT Boundary*. In the rock they found embedded in the layers of clay, something they didn’t expect. Extremely high levels of iridium, something not even commonly found on the surface of Earth- a platinum metal that is usually only found in asteroids and meteorites. And it was everywhere, all over the globe at the KT boundary ridiculously high levels of iridium were found. The only plausible explanation? .. An impact with Earth, and a big one at that. They estimated that something around 6 miles wide hit the Earth, causing the iridium to be spread globally, they also estimated that the crater would be about 100 kilometers in diameter.

And Glen Penfield had found just that while searching for oil, a monstrous crater underwater in the Yucatan Peninsula, The Chicxulub Crater.

I have to be honest with you- Who knows if we will even be around to see conditions optimal for creating hypercanes happen, and if they did how much warning we would even get… if we got any at all. But hey, it happened once, and it could most certainly happen again. I for one hope it doesn’t, cause then it’d be slim pickings dating wise.. and I don’t wanna have to repopulate the Earth- as my uterus kind of takes a liking to not being bombarded. For the foreseeable future though, we’ll just be stuck with slightly intensified storm seasons, with a lot more big ones. Always remember, if you see a storm that looks like it’s is going to hit near you or is tracked to do so- get out of there! .. And don’t forget to tie your laces before you start running like hell.

Who am I kidding though? If it were me, I’d be riding it out. Irene was cool, but I want a real hurricane. If one came I would most certainly stay behind to actually experience it.. but you have to remember that I’m Disaster Girl. If a major category hurricane came around I would also be very prepared, and not drunk like the other folks who’d ended up staying behind. I’d have a sweet boat, a life jacket, a water-resistant camera, scuba tanks and really do it right. None of that “I’m a survivor. I can do it with no supplies.” bullshit. Preparation is everything, and if you go at it with nothing you likely ended up being the dude that the coast guard has to spend hours rescuing (that is if they find you). You’ll go down in history as being the guy that decided it was a better idea to ride the current than actually grab onto something other than your IKEA sofa cushion.

P.F.S. "I remember once, when I lived in the Capital for a month and bought the paper fresh every day. I went wild with love, anger, irritation, frustration; all of the passion boiled in me. I was young, I exploded at everything I saw. But then I saw what I was doing: I was believing what I read. Have you noticed? You believe a paper printed on the same day you buy it? This has happened but only an hour ago, you think! It must be true. So I learned to stand back away and let the paper age and mellow. Back here, in Colonia, I saw the headlines diminish to nothing. The week-old paper -- why you can spit on it if you wish. It is like a woman you once loved, but now you see a few days later, she is not quite what you thought. She has rather a plain face. She is no deeper than a cup of water." Ray Bradbury - And the Rock Cried Out

You believe everything you read. Why not this?
