Even if a civilization avoids natural catastrophes and self-destruction, it will, in the end, run out of energy. The stars will eventually die, and all other sources of energy will also come to an end. But now eternal inflation appeared to offer some hope.
Stars will die in our cosmic neighborhood, but an infinite number of new stars will form in the future big bangs of eternal inflation. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It is also the meaning of emotional-intelligence, which allows our feelings to guide us toward a sane, intelligent life, and not one filled with broken loves, drugs, tobacco, alcohol, and esoteric intellectual pursuits. Harmony and balance enable us to lead not only an intellectual life, but a healthy and intelligent one as well, one not driven by compulsions and the inability to relax.
The Tango of the Two Hemispheres
It takes two to tango: we need both the feeling aspect of an experience and also its comprehension. That is the mark of an integrated feeling. |

In 1983, Pioneer 10 became the first artificial object from Earth to pass Pluto and leave our solar system. It was last heard from on January 22, 2003, when the sensors of the Deep Space Network picked up the final faint signal as the tiny craft hurtled deep into interstellar space. |

See article keywords and concepts |  There's no question in my mind that there is intelligent life in the universe far beyond what we know about today. I believe in the Drake equation. When you calculate the Drake equation, the result says there should be billions of planets harboring intelligent life in our galaxy alone, not to mention other galaxies. I also believe that NASA is hiding a lot of information, especially about Mars. I believe there is water on Mars and there is microbial life to be found in that water, even if it's largely frozen. Every heard of extremophiles? |

These and many other examples show that our presence in the universe depends on a precarious balance between different tendencies—a balance that would be destroyed if the constants of nature were to deviate significantly from their present values.2 What are we to make of this fine-tuning of the constants? Is it a sign of a Creator who carefully adjusted the constants so that life and intelligence would be possible? Perhaps. |

See article keywords and concepts | | At one point in the video, the narrator points to something that's flashing as it moves across the screen, as if the flash itself is supposed to indicate intelligent life. Didn't they consider that maybe it's just a solid piece of metal that just happens to be spinning and rotating? Of course it's going to flash as it moves through space because once an object is rotating and floating around in space, it will not stop rotating on its own. There's no friction in space, so these objects are going to continue to appear to flash in a steady pattern. | | When you calculate the Drake equation, the result says there should be billions of planets harboring intelligent life in our galaxy alone, not to mention other galaxies. I also believe that NASA is hiding a lot of information, especially about Mars. I believe there is water on Mars and there is microbial life to be found in that water, even if it's largely frozen. Every heard of extremophiles? I think NASA is withholding a lot of information from the public on many subjects. And I'd love to see all that caught on film, but the Secret NASA Transmissions video is definitely not it. | | Do I believe there is intelligent life in the universe? Absolutely, no question about it; they are just not on this video.
The bigger question is this: Is advanced technology flying around our planet? The answer is undoubtedly yes. There may be some super-advanced military technology. Some of it may be some revamped Nikola Tesla technology, who knows? Maybe the Roswell UFO crash was the real thing and there was some technology taken from that crash as portrayed in the movie "Independence Day. |

As I came to the realization that membranes were characteristic of all intelligent life, I focused my attention on understanding their structure and function. I came up with a gastronomic treat (just kidding) to illustrate the basic structure of the membrane. The treat consists of a bread and butter sandwich. To further refine the analogy, I added olives. Actually my instructive sandwich features two kinds of olives, ones stuffed with pimentos, the others pimento-free. Gourmands, don't groan. |

See article keywords and concepts | | There's allegedly some form of intelligent life flying around on the NASA videos.
I decided to take a look at this video because a lot of people were mentioning it, and they knew that I was interested in evidence of life beyond Earth (even if it's just microbial life on Mars). While it's true that I am curious about things out that run counter to the mainstream, I do not automatically believe those things. In fact, I'm skeptical of everything I hear, see or view. |
David Deutsch
See book keywords and concepts |  One current view is that intelligent life on Earth is even now in danger of destroying itself, if not by nuclear war then by some catastrophic side-effect of technological advance or scientific research. Many people think that if intelligent life is to survive on Earth, it will do so only by suppressing technological progress. So they might fear that our developing the technology required to regulate stars is incompatible with surviving for long enough to use that technology, and therefore that life on Earth is destined, one way or another, not to affect the evolution of the Sun. | | To do that we shall have to make some assumptions about how much intelligent life there is out there, and what it has been doing (namely, that it has not been switching off too many stars). At the moment, our observations are consistent with there being no intelligent life outside our solar system. When our theories of the structure of our Galaxy are further refined, we shall be able to make more precise predictions, but again only on the basis of assumptions about the distribution and behaviour of intelligence in the Galaxy. |
Brian O'Leary
See book keywords and concepts |  Some religious and scientific belief systems have also been shattered by two other significant developments in understanding who we are and why we are here: mounting evidence for the survival of death, and the presence of other intelligent life in the universe. Both developments are open to scientific inquiry using the scientific method, but are culturally unacceptable because they do not fit within orthodox science, even though most religions believe in an afterlife. The System wants to retain this curious duality, another example of its tyranny. |
James Trefil
See book keywords and concepts |  Years ago, in conjunction with my friend and colleague Robert Rood, I wrote a book that argued against the predominant view that the galaxy is full of intelligent life. I am obviously in a lot of Rolodexes as the guy to call for responsible dissent, but I'm afraid a lot of the reporters go away disappointed. The reason: although I believe we are probably the only advanced technological civilization in the galaxy, I believe that SETI should be pursued vigorously. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Although the abundance of UFO sightings may bode against their being extraterrestrial—given the obstacle posed by the immense interstellar distances separating the Earth from the other stars in the galaxy—in a holographic universe, a universe in which there may be an infinity of realities occupying the same space as our own world, it ceases not only to be a sticking point, but may in fact be evidence of just how unf athomably abundant with intelligent life the superhologram is. |
Nelson Foster and Linda S. Cordell
See book keywords and concepts |  French archaeologist Francois Bordes suggests the extent of the surprise in his observation that a shock of equal magnitude is unlikely to occur unless intelligent life is found elsewhere in the universe. The encounter upset both European and American conceptions of earthly order and celestial intentions, and its consequences, for better or for worse, irrevocably changed the lives of the peoples of both worlds. |
Sheldon Saul Hendler
See book keywords and concepts |  The discrepancy between its rarity in the earth and its abundance in living things has been used in support of a postulate that life on this planet was seeded by microorganisms sent by some form of intelligent life on another planet rich in this element.
Molybdenum is a trace mineral that is found in all tissues of the human body and is required for the activity of several enzymes. Only recently has a human deficiency state for molybdenum been described. |
Donald R. Yance, j r.,C.N., M.H., A.H.G., with Arlene Valentine
See book keywords and concepts |  Herbs are effective because plants, like all living organisms, are imbued with the same vital, intelligent life force that animates the human body. When the right herb is selected as a remedy by an experienced practitioner, its vital life force works synergistically with that of the patient, thus bringing about deep healing at all levels. Technology allows us to research plant life in ways never before imagined. |
James Trefil
See book keywords and concepts | | So to find intelligent life, we need to find the right-sized planet, with a large moon, circling at just the right distance from a right-sized star. It may well be that Earth is the only planet in the galaxy that meets those conditions!
But even if you think the odds of success are small, SETI has to be tried. The main technique used in the past (and in the foreseeable future) is to look for radio signals sent either intentionally or unintentionally by other civilizations. A number of such searches have been made (all unsuccessful so far), but no large-scale, systematic survey has been done. |
David Deutsch
See book keywords and concepts | | At the moment, our observations are consistent with there being no intelligent life outside our solar system. When our theories of the structure of our Galaxy are further refined, we shall be able to make more precise predictions, but again only on the basis of assumptions about the distribution and behaviour of intelligence in the Galaxy. If those assumptions are inaccurate we shall predict the wrong distribution of spectral types just as surely as if we were to make a mistake about the composition of interstellar gases, or about the mass of the hydrogen atom. | | Many people think that if intelligent life is to survive on Earth, it will do so only by suppressing technological progress. So they might fear that our developing the technology required to regulate stars is incompatible with surviving for long enough to use that technology, and therefore that life on Earth is destined, one way or another, not to affect the evolution of the Sun.
I am sure that this pessimism is misguided, and, as I shall explain in Chapter 14, there is every reason to conjecture that our descendants will eventually control the Sun and much more. | | It seems likely that the knowledge required to control the Sun in this way could not evolve by natural selection alone, so it must specifically be intelligent life on whose presence the future of the Sun depends. Now, it may be objected that it is a huge and unsupported assumption that intelligence will survive on Earth for several billion years, and even if it does, it is a further assumption that it will then possess the knowledge required to control the Sun. | | But it does depend on what happens to intelligent life on the planet Earth. It depends on politics and economics and the outcomes of wars. It depends on what people do: what decisions they make, what problems they solve, what values they adopt, and on how they behave towards their children.
One cannot avoid this conclusion by adopting a pessimistic theory of the prospects for our survival. |
