In the immediate future, ( a half century or less) , Mars Adventure will entail robots colonising Mars and the immense benefits, it will accrue to techpreneurs, will be mining Moon for lanthanides or so, will make them king like or trillionaires in the process. Aliens have remotely been encountered, physically, maybe once in 5000 years. If you consider us vs them theory , then it is 1:10000 or so, they should have colonised us long back.The odds are infinitely stacked in their favour. Problems do have a solution, for some, maybe, only in a long term one and so in the immediate scenario, it is impossible. Environmental problems are challenging , hence and some of it is gargantuam and are irreversible. Greta Thunberg has been rightly awarded " Person of the Year 2019" by TIME Magazine and this might instill eco-consciousness of the global society .I have revised special theory of relativity and concluded that: Cosmic Speed is one-third the speed of light.and this could be the reason for the above .Bernie Sanders, emergence as a Presidential contender, awakens the spirit of social consciousness that has been lagging in the past and need not bode well for the future as " Necessity is the mother of invention" . Welfare Economics need not produce or need not result in vibrant Innovative Economies.The Ultimate Adventure of the human species is to become a space- faring civilization could be termed a misadventure. An Endangered Planet's escapist nuances. The same tendencies that can cause extinction of this planet can as well destroy other colonised planets as well .It only needs a momentary lapse of reasoning. Does it mean we are waiting for the apocalypse.?
Dear Mr Koshy,
You present somethings as facts, but would you be kind enough to provide sources? Especially on:
- Remotely encountered aliens; where and when was it?
- Their renewed visit every 5000 years, where and when again?
- The 1:10000 of our weakness as compared to their strenght, how has it been calculated?
- What is intended by "cosmic speed"?
- This speed of c/3 (I assume speed of light in vacuum), how was it derived? And for what type of objects?
- When you say you have revised the theory of relativity, was it your own work? Do you have a link to it, or explicit it?
Now, to answer your question from my point of view, as I am not sure these previous points are of such importance, you might find reference in philosophy about the meaning of life, especially for the notion of "wait".
When you say "we" in your question, do you intend to say "Mother Earth", "Living things", "Humanity", or "Our society"? Can come many answers then. There is no reason for Earth to explode and collapse right now. This cannot be said the same of living things, or at least our society. But these are just possible futures and do not yet exist.
Permanent human habitation on other planets, including Mars, is one of most prevalent themes in science fiction. As technology advances, and concerns about humanity's future on Earth increase, arguments favoring space colonization gain momentum.Other reasons for colonizing space include economic interests, long-term scientific research best carried out by humans as opposed to robotic probes, and sheer curiosity.
Dear Mr.Verez,
In kerala, which is a state in India to which i also belong, which has western standards of living. People are gullible enough to assume , should I say spent their easy money (even poor people don't do hard jobs here ) on lottery tickets to win it and become a millionaire in the process. We know it is almost impossible to win a lottery. Even the state patronises the same. In the case considered, there are trillions of other life harbouring planets, with millions atleast advanced than us if you account for the FERMI's PARADOX. So the only reason for this causality, that we have not yet been colonised by aliens, is Cosmic speed is one-third the speed of light.Please check my research papers for the same and for the simple minded ones , examine my youtube video AMENDED SPECIAL THEORY OF RELATIVITY. What the West is doing in this case , is like the folly committed by the people of Kerala.
