That careless Big Bang


Our universe was born about 13.7 billion years ago in a massive expansion that blew space up like a massive balloon. The earth itself was formed about 4.6 billion years ago and it is about one third the age of the universe.

Ever since I was a child I have heard stories about Flying Saucers and as we get modernized and more scientific we now speak of Unidentified Flying Objects. Although there are an estimated 700 million trillion planets in our known universe the earth remain special probably because on the earth have evolved or appeared human and other forms of life.

Our scientist tell us that human first evolved some 66 million years ago and that present modern man  appeared some 200,000 years ago. Civilization as we know it started about 6000 years ago.

One big question that remain not fully answered is whether there are other intelligent forms of life in the universe. The big bang that birth the universe was self-defeating if it occurred and the only form of life exist on the earth. Suppose other forms of life evolved on other planets and these life forms are more intelligent than human and are capable of interplanetary travel? So far human appear not to have been disturbed by visiting aliens but suppose the UFO’s are visitors from other planets that are observing man. Should we befriend these aliens and seek to learn from them or should we fear that one day they may invade planet earth? The treatment that some nations have meted out to other nations is enough for these nations to worry about being enslaved to some superior life form. Why these aliens would want to invade the earth is uncertain. Human presently believe that he is at the top and so does not relish the idea of any superior life form to himself.

Is it possible that there are more advanced and sophisticated planets than the earth with more intelligent life forms? Would these more intelligent beings than humans care to associate with human? How would these aliens regard humans as they observe the weapons of mass destruction developed by human?

It is interesting that human kind has enough weapon of mass destruction to annihilate the entire human population. As usual a select few have humans devised ways and plans to survive such a scenario. Still it is beyond reason why these select few humans would want the task of repopulating the earth. What these persons are really concerned about is preserving their material wealth but if the earth’s population is annihilated then wealth will essentially be useless.

Life itself is about peaks and valleys. The conditions at the peak is not conducive to prolonged exposure especially at high altitudes. Valleys are fertile and this is one reason that many live in the valleys. Life's pattern is striving to get to the top peak only to get to the peak and realize that life is not sustainable at the peak, so descent to the valley and start all over again which is striving to get to the peak.

As children many of us read Aesop’s fables, Greek mythology, recited nursery rhymes, and memorized common English proverbs among others.  This has now allowed us to view our world with different eyes as we look on countries that have peaked in terms of sophistication and being tired of   being politically correct are resorting to buffoonery.

Probably even more ironic is the fact that behind the scenes are those who control the visible buffoons. Our civilization as we know it is some 6000 years old and we as humans can’t work out how to live side by side peacefully. Instead we are now talking about waging war in space as countries seek to deter each other from making hostile moves.

It is not far fetched though that the real idea is to protect the earth from alien invasion. In the end anyone who believe the idea of the universe coming into existence with a bang also deserve the buffoons that are being elected to high office.

Somehow the bang that gave us buffoons must be offsetting in another sphere with balancing intelligence.
