Alien Life in the Universe? +K

Hey guys I'm doing this question for an essay in my transfer application. I have a few ideas already, but wanted to know what you guys thought.

Stephen Hawking asked the question, "What is the probability of life existing elsewhere in the universe?"

SO..

Theoretically if life does exist elsewhere in the universe, and you could send one thing or object to represent the human race, what would you send, and why?

+k for thoughtful responses

 
Hydrogen bomb (or whatever is the biggest we have now) to blow their planet up before they could do it to us
 
If I could only send them one thing, it would be a device so that we could communicate with them. There is no object that could represent all humans
 
Alien life will not come in a spaceship to this earth to steal your fetal tissue. Our cultural assumptions about aliens are foolish, immature, and lack intelligence.

Alien life has already breached the earth, but we are busy scanning the stars for spaceships. That is not how an alien intelligence would introduce itself. If some sort of intelligence was smart enough to travel across space and time to plant itself here on earth, it sure as hell wouldn't come flying from the skies with guns blazing ready to probe your anus. That cultural myth is an intelligence test.

An alien will be really alien! What I mean is that an alien presence on this earth would be so that it would completely shake our conceptions of reality.

Which brings me to my point. Alien information is hidden within psychedelic drugs. Aliens have already breached the earth. These aliens information systems hide themselves within the complex network of mycial matts (mushroom root systems), which are the largest intelligent systems existing on the earth at this moment.

Eating shrooms downloads the information that the mushroom carries and what alien information that indeed is. This is how intelligence disguises itself. It does it very subtly and only allows access to its information to people who are courageous enough to eat a large dose.

This was Terence Mckenna's idea. Before you guys all call me some crazy burn-out, give this video a listen. Terence does a better job explaining what I wrote. Please remember that you live in a culture that conditions you. I'm not saying I believe that mushrooms are aliens, but things are far different than what culture teaches you.

Look back to Drakes equation. If live evolved on Earth naturally, there are too many planets out there in the habitable zone, with the right spin, composition, etc. for there to be no life. The life on these planets may have evolved for hundreds maybe even millions of years more than us, and be so technologically and spiritually advanced that we haven't the slightest comprehension of how they work. I do believe that there is alien life in the universe, although the possibility of them visiting Earth is very unlikely, and if I could meet one or send something out into space I would send schematics for something very useful we have, such as the molecular composition of our superconductors, etc.
 
The Drake equation states that:

where:

N = the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible (i.e. which are on our current past light cone);

and

R* = the average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy

fp = the fraction of those stars that have planets

ne = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets

fℓ = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point

fi = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life

fc = the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space

L = the length of time for which such civilizations release detectable signals into space[5]

Yes, i copied this right out of wikipedia. Used this equation once in a lab. prob not accurate at all haha
 
OH MY GOD.

Terrence Mckenna is as big of a conspiracy theorist as they come. If you had any idea about evolution you would know that fungi evolved from eukaryotes just like the rest of us. Aliens didnt come down and fucking give us psilocybin mushrooms. Alien information is NOT hidden in psychadelic drugs, that's just the stupidest thing ever. Drugs create a toxic effect in your brain, it's not some "code" it's your brain telling you to stop doing that and seek treatment.

I've consumed about 1/2 oz of fresh cubes over the past 2 weeks so I don't want to hear your hippy bullshit. Shrooms are fun and mind opening but its not fucking alien technology.
 
A cd with the best songs ever created for evey genre. Wutang, bob marley, lois armstrong, and mozart all on the same track
 
My point obviously went right over your head. At no point did I say aliens came down with mushrooms. What I said is that alien information is contained within mushrooms and other psychoactive drugs.
 
Who are you to say you are any more knowledgable about aliens? No ones rvr seen them and all myths and thoughts are just theories, your idea holds no more weight than the idea that they are anal probing laser toting green midgets
 
Nope. He said he ate 1/2 over a week. That wouldn't be much of a trip if it was spaced out enough. I'm not saying either that we all share the same perspectives. My point is that these drugs take all of us to very alien, new, and different states of mind
 
You're a fucking idiot. Of course they're 'alien experiences'. you're introducing a toxic substance into your body, consequently effecting your brain chemistry..
 
I dont frankly give two fucks about whether or not alien life exists, equations, or about shroom conspiracies.

IF ALIENS WERE TO EXIST…what would you send them to represent humans?
 
Please lord oh lord tell me you don't truly believe the things you just wrote to all of NS?????
 
How bout you get the fuck out so this thread can get back where it was supposed to go.

Jesus Christ you are fucking dumb.
 
music. because by the time we received any information back (that's a big if), our language would have changed so dramatically that present day humans wouldn't understand what we sent in the first place. so yeah, i vote pink floyd.
 
good answer, i think music is an interesting choice.

Regardless of what one would choose to send, the receiver would have zero contextual knowledge of the item that they were receiving.

But music is something that doesn't need to have a contextual understanding or something that requires being literate or understanding a certain language.

Music kind of transcends those requirements because it is up for personal interpretation. True, it conveys a message. But it conveys that message in a number of different ways…beat, tone, etc. It can convey certain emotions without the use of words.

Nice answer man, +K
 
true. im not sure if i can answer with that on this essay though…seems kind of like a cop-out

And @ El_Barto….I was thinking of a loaded pistol, same mindset as you.
