Is the glass half empty or half full?
Think.
It depends.
If the glass was filled to the top and then drunk half down or poured half out, then the glass is half empty.
If the glass was only filled halfway to begin with, then the glass is half full.
Thank you for your time.
People often debate about the theory of sentient life existing on other planets elsewhere in the universe, and whether any of this other life is dropping by our planet to pay us a little visit, scare our cows, or do experiments on our bodies involving anal probing.
Think.
What do you think the odds are of their being life on other planets elsewhere in the universe?
Unless you are a religious person with the belief that G-d created the entire expanse of this seemingly endless universe solely to house human beings on this tiny little planet called Earth and thus would say zero percent chance, then if you are to believe in a near infinite universe, now matter how small a probability you think their is of sentient life forming being able to form on another planet somewhere, it is likely to happen a near infinite number of times. That is the nature of infinity.
Ponder.
So, I think you all gather that I believe their is life elsewhere in the universe. Aside from the likelihood of it based on probability in a near infinite universe, I think it is rather Earth-centric of us to believe G-d would have created this entire universe only for our race of beings. That seems kind of big-headed and self-importance of us to think that.
As for the question of life having visited this planet…
I seriously doubt it (although I will not rule it out as a definite possibility) and here’s why:
Let’s say their happened to be several races of sentient beings from other planets out their whose planets were perhaps older or whose civilizations were perhaps merely that much more advanced, and they were able to create space ships that could travel incredible distances between planets, stars, and galaxies…
Why in the universe do we think they would, A.) find us in the first place, B.) care about scaring our cows and plowing crop circles, C.) want to anally probe us, D.) not want to kill us or contact us, but instead just frighten people out in the middle of nowhere in the middle of the night with no explanation? What makes us so important that all these aliens from all over the place would want to bother visiting our planet and bother doing anything to us? So, if aliens have visited, my guess is maybe one, possibly two, but not as many as all the crazies out there would have us believe. It just sounds self-important and unrealistic to think they would.
It is said that our brains take in something like four billion bits of information a second and we only interpret about two thousand of them.
Think.
Our brains are actually recognizing nearly four billion bits of information per second and we are actually seeing and experiencing only a fraction of that information.
Ponder.
What else is out there? What is our brain seeing that we aren’t?
People often say they can’t fathom a never-ending universe.
Question.
Can you fathom a universe that has an end?
Think.
Isn’t it just as hard to imagine a universe that has an end as it is to imagine a never ending universe? Imagine the universe having an end. What does your mind immediately jump to a picture of? Well, what’s beyond the end of the universe, and the end of that, and the end of that, and the end of that, and the end of that? We want to imagine the universe as having an end because on Earth, in our experience, everything has an end. At the same time, there is always something beyond the end of everything else. Beyond my feet is my room, beyond that is my house, beyond that is the sky, beyond that is the solar system, beyond that is the galaxy, beyond that is deep space and more galaxies…
You see? At the same time as you’re having a hard time imagining something with no end, you’re in essence creating an image of something that has no end.
