The Big Search for Extraterrestrial Life
Whereas in the past ETs were scoffed at and those who believed were ridiculed mercifully, today there is a huge competition in the world to see who finds them first. Who will win? Who knows—but my money is on the ETs. SETI comes to mind when we think of hearing some form of communication from outer space, whether it be Mars or anywhere else. Heck, we aren’t picky. We just WANT to hear something or someone!! And because of this, many new forms of technology and major companies are building new communication devices to pick up many forms of ET signals, hoping they will work.
From secret United Nation meetings in New York regarding UFO landings and communication, to a new form of telescope being built by Europe as a combined effort, and massive amounts of money spent on the NASA Phoenix to sprinkle dirt into Easy Bake Ovens to see if there were previous life forms on Mars—the world has become a changed society with the majority of people now fully believing in another life form from somewhere else in the Universe or theirs, and wishes to meet them sooner rather than later. Oh, there will always be disbelievers but so there were when Christopher Columbus proved the Earth was round, not flat like previously though. “SURE, the Earth is round. You Bet!” the proving of his theory by not falling off the Earth when he reached the end did not seem important in comparison to people who did not want to change their hundred year old views. Made them too uncomfortable, for sure.
And viewpoints on extraterrestrials are not the only things changing. This coming September in 2008 the 16th International Symposium on Earth Tides, located at Jena, Germany, will be joined in a symposium on the current challenges of earth’s dynamics from many different viewpoints:
• Global Geodynamics Project ( GGP ).
• Geophysical Fluids (3.3 )
• Crustal Deformation ( 3.2 )
• And of course, Earth Tides
•
Under the sponsorship of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG) , IAG travel grants are available for young scientists that are due by June 21, 2008. With these latest finds developing on a mass level about our own planet and its evolution, there will be many major topics that play heavily with the new acceptance of the existence of ETS: some new observatory techniques, earth rotation, post-glacial rebound, and sea level changes. The changes going on with Earth are demonstrating our own evolutions to other planets and Universes, and maybe to the end of our human civilization.
