EXTRATERRESTRIAL LIFE IN THE UNIVERSE | Why humans need to change their view of looking at the universe
We, humans, are curious by nature, we were explorer from the
ancient time that has brought evolution to humans and shaped our future. Even
though humans are staying on earth for hundreds of years, were just started to
explore the planet and day by day were inventing new and discovering some new
life on earth at a rapid rate, yet still is waiting to be explored.
And we didn't limit our exploration to our earth, were also
exploring the space to hunt for new planets that could host life as a secondary
planet for humans. Our intent of the human race might be right, but our
approach of looking for life needs to be revised. We just cannot tag or
declare/ differentiate as living and non-living as we do on earth; we need to
broaden our spectrum of understanding life sources in the universe.
As we know all the matter in the universe found in the
universe is made of atoms, and each atom has its composition and vibrations.and everything from an atom to back hole have life cycles at its own time frame, So
now what exactly is living thing?
- A thing that can move
- A thing that can grow
- A thing that can change
- A thing that has needs
These are a few of the requirements to tag something as
living things….right? But what if I say everything in this universe from a tiny
atom to a massive black hole or beyond that has life just like anything that
can be found on earth.
Let's take our sun as an example of a non-living thing, but
wait!
- Our sun can move in the space
- Our sun can grow too
- Our sun has changes and life cycle too (Nebula, Protostar, Main Sequence, Red Giant, White Dwarf
- And our sun relies on Sagittarius A* for its Gravity to stay in the Milky Way Galaxy
These are just a few which we humans need to sort out when
finding extraterrestrial life in the universe. While we have so much diverse
life form on the earth which are different from each other, we can expect some
surprises waiting in the universe to be explored. And it would be funny if we
just expect a human-like creature from a distant planet, holding a smartphone
in the hand and waiting to welcome us.
