Honestly i believe UFO'S and aliens do exist and that they have visitede us hete on earth.
It would be very strange if only this planet called earth was populated.
How about you? What do you believe or think of the UFO/Alien topic?
I consider it
extremely likely that life exists elsewhere in the universe.
I consider it
rather likely that life in the universe is "abundant" (and by that, I mean planets with life numbering in the billions, which in the great scheme of things can be like only 0.0001% of planets)
I consider it
somewhat likely that other places in the universe have "intelligent" life (as we perceive "intelligent).
I consider it
extremely unlikely that such life visited earth or are even aware of earth
I consider it
quite unlikely that such intelligent life has interstellar travel capability.
I don't "believe" any of this (which is to say: accept as fact).
The above is all based on everything I know and understand about the universe.
Why is it so "scary" to admit that they might exist?
That's quite a loaded question....
First it assumes that one is scared of the idea and second, the word "admit" assumes that we all already know it deep down.
Neither is correct. For me, at least.
First it doesn't scare me at all.
Second, I consider the chance of alien visitation to be close to zero.
Simply because of the obvious EXTREME obstacles and difficulties that are inherent in it.
Even only considering how hard it was on this planet for intelligent life to evolve to such a point to be able to get just a probe to the most nearby planet. And even that is taking so long that it simply isn't practical to really move people between those two planets. It's a travel of 6 months requiring ENORMOUS amounts of energy.
Any species progressing far enough to even think about such things will still hit physical limits and logistic difficulties which don't look like they can be adequately tackled.
Even if we would succeed in for example "stasis" which would allow us to preserve our bodies for thousands of years while traveling... let's just allow for that for a second.
What would be the practical use of doing so? What would be the point of spending gazibillion of dollars to send people to a nearby star while knowing that by the time they arrive, all of us would be gone for thousands of years already?
There would be zero reason and use for such a move.
There is zero reason to rally an entire nation to engage in the effort of sending a dozen people into space just to satisfy
their curiosity with NO gains for everybody else.
It just wouldn't happen.
As Richard Dawkins once said as half a joke: "
I'm certain aliens exist. I'm also certain that we'll never meet them"
