Many students have asked me about the possibilty of life existing in other planets or worlds and my answer is yes. Recent news paper article claimed that scientists say there is increased belief in the possibility of discovering alien life, following revelations that 50% of stars throughout the universe have planets similar to Earth orbiting them.
How cool is that? But then again, would the aliens be friendly? Professor Stephen Hawking believes that that aliens might simply raid Earth for its resources and then move on: “We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet. I imagine they might exist in massive ships, having used up all the resources from their home planet. Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonise whatever planets they can reach.”
Can you believe this guy then? He claims to have knowledge on the UFOs and aliens. Like what I was saying in class, the US government knows but doesn't tell. 'I believe in UFOs - and I've seen them', says ex-Canadian defence minister Paul Hellyer - Daily Mail - Feb 25, 2011, He goes on to add that UFOs are real, aliens have visited Earth and the US government is covering up information about them.'
Conclusion? It is a possibilty that life exist outside our own solar system. Will they be friendly, let's wait and find out.
