Some would even go as far as saying that these aliens are benign beings that are searching for their intergalactic friends as well.
Nurdiansah is not convinced. “If you ask me whether or not it exists, yes, it does. If you ask whether or not it looks like that, I’d say no, because there are no evidences yet.”
We haven’t found definitive evidences of life outside earth, albeit scientists do have profound basis for extraterrestrial imaginings.
“A galaxy is composed of gas and dust and stars – billions upon billions of stars. Every star may be a sun to someone. Within a galaxy are stars and worlds and, it may be, a proliferation of living things and intelligent beings and spacefaring civilizations,” says Sagan.
Moreover, the possibility of life is compounded when we realize that the chemistries that make up Earth life (hydrogen, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen) are the most abundant elements strewn in the wide expanse of the universe!
We are allowed believe the possibility of intelligent human-like creatures out there. Similarly, no one should outright reject the calculated speculation of Floaters and Hunters, either. But tread cautiously! History have taught us that our senses and predictions are rarely accurate.
We once thought the earth was flat because it looks flat. We were once certain that the moon, the sun and our sister planets revolved around us because we feel stationary. We were once sure that our solar system was the whole universe because we don’t see other worlds.
Hence, we should be open to the very real possibility that extraterrestrial life would not follow our expectations.
Be it only microscopic organisms, Floaters and Hunters, infinitely smarter humanoids or simply non-existent creatures, we should accept the facts derived from verifiable evidences as they are, not what they ought to be.
After all, shouldn’t we wholeheartedly accept our cosmic companion as it is?
