How advanced are Alien civilizations? -The Kardashev scale

The observable universe is consists up to two trillion galaxies that are made of billions and billions of stars. In the Milky Way galaxy alone, scientists assume that there are some 40 billion earths like planets in the habitable zone of their stars. When you look at these numbers, there are a lot of possibilities of alien civilization to exist. In a universe that big and old, the possibilities of civilizations may start millions of years apart from each other, and develop in different directions and speed. So their civilization may range from cavemen to super advanced. We know that human started out with nothing and then making tools, building houses, etc. we know that humans are curios, competitive, greedy for resources, and expansionists. The more of these qualities that our ancestors had, the more successful they were in the civilization building process.

 Like this, the other alien civilizations also might have evolved. Human progress can be measured very precisely by how much energy we extracted from our environment. As our energy consumption grew exponentially, so did the abilities of our civilization. Between 1800 and 2015, population size had increased seven fold; while humanity was consuming 25 times more energy. It’s likely that this process will continue into the far future. Based on these facts, scientist Nikolai Kardashev developed a method for categorizing civilizations, from cave dwellers to gods ruling over galaxies into a scale called the Kardashev scale. It is a method of ranking civilizations by their energy use. It put civilizations into four categories. A type 1 civilization is able to use the available energy of their home planet. A type 2 civilization is able to use the available energy of their star and planetary system. A type 3 civilization is able to use the available energy of their galaxy. A type 4 civilization is able to use the available energy of multiple galaxies

. It’s like comparing an ant colony to a human metropolitan area. To ants we are so complex and powerful, we might as well be gods. On the lower end of the scale, there are type 0 to type 1 civilization. Anything from hunting, gatherers to something we could achieve in the next few hundred years. These might actually be abundant in the Milky Way. If that possible, why they are not sending any radio signals in space. But even if they transmitted radio signals like we do, it might not be very helpful. In such a vast universe, our signals may extend over 200 light years, but this is only a tiny fraction of the Milky Way. And even if someone were listening, after a few light years our signals decay into noise, impossible to identify as the source of an intelligent species. Today humanity ranks at about level 0.75. We created huge structures, changed the composition and temperature of the atmosphere. If progress continues, we will become a full type 1 civilization in the next few hundred years. The next step to type 2 is trying and mine other planets and bodies.

The Dyson sphere – mega-structures built around sun to draw energy

 As a civilization expands and uses more and more stuff and space, at some they may start a largest project that extracting the energy of their star by building a Dyson swarm. Once it finished, energy has become unlimited. The next frontier moves to other stars light years away. So the closer a species gets to type 3, they might discover new physics, may understand and control dark matter and energy, or be able to travel faster than light. For them, humans are the ants, trying to understand the galactic metropolitan area. A high type 2 civilization might already consider humanity too primitive. A type 3 civilization might consider us bacteria. But the scale doesn’t end here; some scientists suggest there might be type 4 and type 5 civilizations, whose influences stenches over galaxy clusters or super clusters. This complex scale is just a thought experiment but, still it gives interesting things. Who knows, there might be a type omega civilization, able to manipulate the entire universe, and they even might be the actual creators of our universe.

Crop Circles

Crop circles are the strange patterns that appear mysteriously overnight in farmers’ fields—provoke puzzlement, delight and intrigue among the press and public alike. The circles are mostly found in the United Kingdom, but have spread to dozens of countries around the world in past decades. The mystery has inspired countless books, blogs, fan groups, researchers and even Hollywood films. Crop circles and their mysterious origins have spawned years of debate and speculation about whether or not they are formed by aliens. Some people believe that crop circles are used as a message from a foreign species. That perhaps they represent some sort of alien language. Others believe that they are a hoax by people who wish to scare or stun the people who view them. But whatever the reason people believe what they do, crop circles have a long and vibrant history that has many legends swirling around it.

The first appearance of a crop circle was in England 1678. The “Mowing Devil” was the first reported incident of a crop circle, and the farmer who found the circle said that there was a devilish entity that visited his farm. That goes against the usual descriptions of crop circles because they are typically described as being patted down into the shape and not cut. Since then, many crop circles have popped up in the countryside of the United Kingdom, but throughout the years, crop circles have begun to appear in other countries. In 1966 in Australia, a farmer said that he saw a flying saucer leave a swampy area, and when he investigated the area he found a circular pattern lain into the reeds and swamp grass. The crops in his field were trampled or cut down in the shape of a circle. The circle was recorded on a wood engraving.

Man-made crop circle

The theories on the origins of crop circles are wide and varied. One explanation in the 1980s said that they are formed from overactive hedgehogs. Another theory says that specific wind patterns to an area could cause the crop to lie down. One theory includes earth’s energy fields and meridians. The force of the energy on the land would cause the crop to fall. But many people who believe in an extraterrestrial origin think that aliens use their enhanced technology to send energy down from outer space to create patterns in the crop. Others still believe that spaceships are the cause for the varying patterns in the ground.

Benjamin Radford, a contributor for LiveScience, said that  one case from the United Kingdom in 1991 had two men come forward and admit to creating hundreds of crop circles, which leads people to believe that mostly the circles’ origins are very human. They were inspired by the case in Australia, so they tried to blame the circles on UFOs. Many of the examples of crop circles being linked to UFOs gets confused about whether it’s really about the UFO or the crop circle. Like with the case in Australia, the legend becomes more about the sighting of a UFO or an alien spaceship than it is about the actual crop circle. It’s an interesting debate that is waged between believers in science and believers in the supernatural. Many people, like the man in Australia who allegedly saw a UFO by a crop circle, claim that they can see unusual light sources or flying objects near the place they find a circle. Others, and the vast majority of people who investigate crop circles, believe that it is pure science and trickery that form these circles.

At any rate, with the technology and advancements that we have in this day and age, it doesn’t seem so unlikely that a human could make such a sophisticated design in crops. Taylor notes that crop circle artists aren’t going to give up their secrets any time soon, either. Whether the creation is supernatural or not, the mystery behind the creation of the circles is still key to holding people’s interest in the designs.  The human race has advanced by leaps and bounds in the last century and certainly has the capacity to develop technologies beyond our wildest dreams that could be the source of crop circles.

UFO sighting?

А Germаn tоurist reсently reсоrded а videо оf а shiny аnd shарe-shifting оbjeсt in the sky, fueling sрeсulаtiоns аnd соnsрirасy theоries, thаt it might hаve соuld hаve been аn unidentified оbjeсt оr UFО. The tоurist, аllegedly sроtted the bizаrre оbjeсt оut оf his windоw while trаveling оn а рlаne.
Intrigued by it, he filmed the shiny white оbjeсt оn his Nikоn Р900 саmerа аnd сlаimed thаt the susрeсted UFО wаs flying аlоngside fоr seven minutes. He then sent the fооtаge tо рорulаr YоuTube соnsрirасy theоrist knоwn аs Disсlоse Sсreen The Grimreefаr. The videо shоws а white glоwing оbjeсt, аррeаring tо соnstаntly сhаnge shарe аnd flying аt а higher аltitude thаn the аirрlаne.

Grimereefаr shаred the videо sаying, “I’ve gоt this inсredible sighting оn film by а раssenger оn bоаrd аn аirline оf whаt аррeаrs tо be а shарe-shifting оbjeсt.

”If you have ever taken pictures through the plastic windows of an airplane you recognise this, ice crystals in the double-glazed windows….. They jump and move around and shift shape in an instant,” one user wrote.

A second one commented, ‘This is light playing in the distortion in the plane’s window. That’s why he can’t focus on it, it’s too close for his lens.”Abother said, ”Beautiful. It’s like looking at the entrance to a tunnel and through the other side we see the Strings of the Universe pulling and pushing the world(s)!”

Is There Life Outside Earth?

This is a question that has perturbed humanity for decades now. From the start of the early space age during the Cold War, where asserting dominance in space was given the first importance, unknowingly, the USSR and the USA shaped the future. They made the then-present generation more involved with things regarding space. Many movies and TV Shows like Star Trek and others that focused on space travel and aliens came into being. They all portrayed Earth as just one planet among many in the universe. Movies also portrayed the Moon, Mars, and Venus all to the harbor with life. They were said to be aliens over there and that the government is just covering it all up. This led to a rise in a sort of cultist movement in the 70s, where people spread propaganda regarding the existence of “little green men” across the solar system.

But this is all just fanciful imagination. None of this is actually true as far as science is concerned with the present knowledge we hold. From the missions we have sent to the Moon, Venus, and Mars, there seems to be no sign of life. Moon and Venus are completely devoid of any signs of a life-supporting system, and it is theorized that Moon and Venus cannot have supported life anytime in the past. However, as for Mars, there is proof suggesting that water may have flowed on the surface of Mars sometime in the past. This is because Mars has canyons and shorelines, which are being mapped, and simulations have shown that there was a high possibility that water may have once flowed on Mars. But this doesn’t necessarily mean that life is still there now. They may or may not have been life forms on Mars. But, if we find any one of them now, it would be in the form of microbes, not fully evolved conscious beings like us. Some missions are ongoing to find out if there are any fossils of Martian microorganisms. If there are, that would be the first sign that we are not ( at least, were not ) alone in this universe.

There have also been speculations that there is a very high possibility that alien life forms exist in the very galaxy that is much more advanced than us but does not interfere with us mainly because we are not worth noticing. A suitable analogy would be a man not noticing the worms or ants beneath him when walking through a forest. ( We are the ants! ) We are just not worthy of any form of attention from these alien civilizations.

The Drake Equation states that there are probably 1000 to 100,000,000 planets in our very galaxy that can harbor alien civilizations. But even with so many planets, the only thing we are receiving from outer space is dead silence. There has been a separate organization called SETI ( Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence ) which searches the sky for any signals which are out of the ordinary. There has been only one such signal called the WOW signal, which was way out of the ordinary, but scientists have ruled it out as a piece of signal from Earth that was bounced back from space debris. There has been nothing that even shows the slightest hint of an extraterrestrial civilization.

This has been really dreadful to scientists. There is a high probability that humankind is well and truly alone in this entire vast universe. That we are the last ones left alive here. There is no one beside us. If there were, then they are truly gone. Even knowing that this is the highest possibility we live in fills me, the author, with some sense of extreme loneliness. Are we really the last living thing in this entire vast universe? If so, then the best we can do is to survive and thrive. Regardless, the search for extraterrestrial life will never stop. Even if all other life is dead, we will still try to find out what they were and how they vanished.

Women claim she has been kidnapped 52 times by aliens

Women claim she has been kidnapped 52 times by aliens

Aliens have always been an interesting topic all over the world. Getting to know about other planets and the existence of weird-looking creatures having different appearances and capabilities. Many news has also reported that they have better technologies and that is the reason we don’t really can guess what are they? We have heard about 100’s of rumors about the existence of aliens. Some people say they have seen aliens, some say they met them and some explain that they have seen alien’s footprints. Well discussing all this and guessing how much are these rumors true is not our cup of tea but yes what if these rumors are true? Do we believe them?

For years this rumor remained doubtful and an interesting topic.

This is an article about Paula Smith from London who proved the existence of aliens and the story behind how she saw them, what was different in them from us and many such queries.

Who is Paula smith?

Paula is a 50-year-old woman from Bradford region London who was born in the year 1976. She claims that she had been kidnapped by aliens about 52 times. She was first kidnapped in 1982 when she was a 6-year-old little girl. She described how aliens used to take her through UFO and used to show Paula their technologies which are far more different from what we have presently. She told that their technologies and the devices they use are way more advanced than ours. Paula said that she has seen mobile phones which they use and which were invented before our technology didn’t even found. Paula presently a grandmother of two and now she finds the right time to tell everyone about it.

What do Paula’s parents say about aliens?

Paula’s parents agree to the fact that from childhood Paula remained missing for about 5-6 hours and it was all because aliens used to take her in UFO in that interval.

She said that during the interval of 5-6 hours, she remained in the UFO.

Does society believe Paula?

No, nobody believed her and even society started calling her that she has become mentally ill. To make them trust Paula made a sketch on paper of how aliens look, she showed a blackish sign present on her hand and explained to people that this bruise was made by aliens on her skin. Paula has faith that many people have experienced this and appealed to them to join her and share everything about it and make people trust that aliens do exist and she is not alone to experience all this. She says that people don’t come and tell about what happened to them out of fever which is weird and they should definitely come and share the world.

Experience of Paula’s UFO journey

She described that she has been kidnapped 52 times and no alert or warning was given to her and was always kidnapped all of a sudden. She always took that in a common way or otherwise she would have gone mad. She was taken in the UFO where she was shown with their latest technologies which we still don’t have. She also told that aliens have the capability to change the color of the sky and the river which they showed to her. Aliens also showed her a slideshow that was more like a film described that how the earth is coming to end due to human temptations.

Scientists still keep on checking the signals of the areas of how UFO used to enter the earth’s space. We still have many doubts in our mind that where do they come from, which planet do they belong to? And it remains a big confusion for many.
