We have all heard of the classic Steven Spielberg movie Close Encounter of the Third Kind.It showed the way in which members of an Alien species contacts with the members of the Human Race. But what if all that happened in real.What if aliens actually made an attempt to contact us??
Since a millennium, We (Mankind) have always wondered whether we are alone in this universe. I think we are not. The possibilities and mathematics and statistics might have a different story to tell but then if life can blossom on our planet, why is it not possible that it may on another planet? After all, we are not even sure that life that has evolved on our beloved planet is actually native to it.
Yes friends, we might be aliens ourselves on our own planet. There is a prevalent hypothesis in the scientific community of "Panspermia". Panspermia is made up of two Greek words Pan meaning all and sperma which means seed. So literal translation of the word would be All Seed. Basically what this hypothesis states, is that life as we know it might not have necessarily evolved on our own planet. Millions of years ago when our planet was in the ending stages of its formation, hundreds of thousands of space matter like asteriods, comets and planetoids crashed into Earth. Panspermia proposes that life can survive the conditions of outer space like bacteria trapped in debris. This debris would then have crashed into our planet thus giving rise to life on our planet.
But then a question arises, if life didnt begin on our planet then where did it begin? I am afraid we still dont know the answer to that question, however, what I do know is that if we ever make contact with any alien species in the future, it may be possible that humans and that species would sort off be related. Again, this is merely just what I think but it could be true.
Anyways, Hollywood's fascination of Aliens landing on Earth and causing mayhem may not be true. I mean if they were to travel such a huge distance to contact us why would they want to conquer our world? But then looking back at the history of human kind itself, I become a bit cautious. We have instances where the Spanish and the Portuguese journeyed across the Atlantic not to understand the ways of the new civilizations that they may encounter there but for the resources that they would find there which was basically Gold and Silver.
Also even if the aliens do come in peace, we can never say that us Humans would be in favor of that as well because it all depends on the person who interacts with the aliens. A person who would then effectively become the representative of the whole human race.I say this because the heads of our governments of the countries of our planet clearly wont be qualified to do that because at that moment they would be having an ulterior motive as well. They would like to use the opportunity to press forward their own country's agenda and thus there is a need to decide who will represent us. Would it be the person who heads the United Nations or would it be someone else??It depends on us.The entire human race. Because a single person could usher in a millennium of Peace, Friendship and Co-operation or spell the utter destruction of any one of the two species or even both.
