Self proclamation -> not a very good effort, but heck, no longer an unfinished one! but read the last article!!
Our basic theory to look for oxygen breathing bipeds (this in itself is a faulty logic that only humans are cognitive in their assessing ability) in near earth like planets is FUBAR. There is a story by Arthur. C. Clarke, where in he puts forward the theory that the extra terrestrial is a cloud of immense intelligence, and on performing a genuine KT with some professor, the professor suffers a hemorrhage and collapses. With the amount of destructive energy sources and weaponry that we’ve been using, 2 things can happen,
1. The ET’s get repelled from us either out of revulsion or fear of us blowing up our own planet. The time as we measure may not work for them. In Hinduism we say that for heavenly beings, what would be eons for humans would essentially be the blink of an eye (supposing they have one!!) So, at the rate at which we are progressing we may end up blowing up part of the world, with the radiation spreading its creepy fingers for others to be maimed and pass on the deformity in their genetic make up, thereby leading to abolishment of the entire race, except of course for the cockroaches, planet earth may be free of humans in half a blink of their eye!
2. They get attracted to us like moths to a light and end up using us and our power sources, mayhap without our knowledge. An ET with such an intention would never show up in its true form (always assuming that they have a tangible physical form to go along that is, however, there is such a theory that they are shape shifters assuming the shape of a highly acceptable person or our worst nightmare whereas in reality they are nothing but a cloud or energy!)
Also, there is this theory going around that life form in this planet was seeded by beings from elsewhere (no guarantee that they live on terra firma or underground, they can be vagabonds, galactic nomads, moving between universes, seeding here, reaping there!) What is to stop the theory that we are in fact microbes going about our measly duties while these so called nomads observe us through their positron microscopes (assuming that they have in fact garnered the antimatter energy) But this leads us to another question, all our theories of physics and mathematics have been postulated by rules and laws that govern our earth, what is the proof that these can apply to other parallel planets or universes where the equations can be different? Where the basic constants of our hypotheses could in fact be variables?
So, back to the point of the cockroach, well, we do know that they can sustain high levels of radiation without showing any trace of mutation or hurt, they have never evolved from their insectile selves ever since humans cared to experiment with their fossils or their real life counterparts. So, why can’t a cockroach be ET? I don’t mean to say that they are intelligent, but come to think of it, I think they are intelligent. They’ve understood long back that survival is the only need and not the underlying question as to what lies at the root of this entire life thing. What do we achieve by all this relentless digging and researching and increasing hostility? Everything seems so futile.
