SETI Project Review

SETI@HOME Project:

SETI@HOME

The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) is a NASA scientific project whose main mission is to search for intelligent extraterrestrial life. Another one of its collective objectives is to monitor electromagnetic radiation for signs of transmissions and communication from alien civilizations on other planets.

However, there are three important subjects that I would like to highlight in particular from its mission statement that lead us to the conclusion that the project is not feasible:
1. Alien Intelligent Life
2. Alien Communication
3. Alien Civilization

For a brief period in 1975, I had the privilege to watch this amazing bright strange circular object in the night sky passing by between stars like a speeding car on a freeway swerving between cars in two consecutive days. These unidentified flying objects encounter left me with so many questions that until to this day I am still pinned with the same old queries like Do aliens look like human beings? Do they have the same environment like earth? What types of creatures are piloting these spacecraft?  If aliens are highly intelligent, do they have the capabilities to communicate with us?  What do we look like to them?  How big must a mothership be in order to travel from galaxy to galaxy?  Is their mothership a biological sphere similar to mechanical earth that harbors life?  Are these flying objects of alien origin or, are they space crafts or probes made by man?  How did the idea of "U.F.O." come into being in the first place?

The answers to some of these questions are partially discussed here with supporting data derived from the results found in (i) Originemology, a study that determines the root of information; (ii) the Think Factor, a principle that asserts information can only be acquired in two ways: by discovery or by inlearning; and, (3) Nature is the keeper, database, mother of Information.

On the other hand, aside from creation by a divine being (genesis), by dualpairing (viegenesis), or by evolution (biogenesis), another angle that needs deeper scrutiny is the hypothesis that space humans or extraterrestrial aliens could have created humans. The rationale behind this supposition is -- if the very first primitive men were not covered with thick long skin hair or clothes -- then, how did the first human survive the extreme primitive weather without any help from an outside civilization?

Based on the Intelligent Konstant Theory, or Think Factor, the first primitive mind, like a newly-born child's mind, was naturally empty with information. The mind of the very first human must sense, interact, and copy his environment before information can be acquired. Then after long continuous day-to-day trial and error interactions, his awareness evolved, consciousness developed, thinking manifested, and codexation transformed next. Primitive intelligence became wider and smarter that probably the idea of clothes eventually was conceptualized and copied from the dressed hairy coat of animals![Lawsin 2000}

However, could it be possible that the information acquired by our primitive ancestors has been passed on by intelligent beings from outer space? If this is the case, then the three previous issues that were raised about clothing, thinking, and labeling can now be put to rest. If not, however, then it would be interesting to historically trace back the origins of the following words: flying disk, flying saucer, spaceship, aliens, ETs, and UFOs. Second, the physics and the laws that will debunk why the presence of spaceship inside the earth's atmosphere is impossible should be discussed too. Afterward, the two encounters I have with unidentified flying objects will be enumerated in a numbered list to maintain a sequential accuracy of my testimony and be analyzed later in detail. And finally, I will prove at least deductively why the SETI project of searching aliens like humans is impossible.

I. Intelligent Life Problems:

Due to the fact, humans don't have yet a definitive description of what life is, searching for one is like finding something unknown in a darkroom. Another issue is if intelligent life is out there, much higher and better than us, then are we prepared to accept their domination towards us? If intelligent life is out there, why to this moment we have not heard from them? Lost in translation? And if they have build spaceships that can travel through wormholes, jumping from one planet to another planet like earth, are UFOs sightings probable?

Let me answer first the last questions, by enumerating the technical requirements needed in designing an airplane (a/p) and compare and contrast the characteristics of alien mothership with our latest conventional aircraft.

First, Physics: what are the four forces that make airplanes a/p) fly. They are always dualpairs. One can't exist without the other. The Thrust that pushes the a/p forward and the Drag that opposes the thrust. Then the weight of the a/p being pulled by the earth and the Lift opposing gravity and mass.

Second, Propulsion: This is like the engine and systems of a car that provides acceleration and deceleration. Aeronautical engineers figure out that the best method of space propulsion could either be electric or electromagnetic but not plasma, nuclear or chemical.

Third, Fuselage Materials: This is the structural body of the a/p. Factors to consider here are pressure, mass, weight, and high temperature resisting materials.

Fourth, Design: Mainframes shapes could be saucer, cylindrical, round, or rectangular type. In terms of airflow, airplanes contour must be laminar and not turbulent.

Now, do UFOs meet these four requirements?

It is speculated that when UFO hovers it flies level parallel to the ground. It tilts forward in order to move forward and tilts backward in order to stop. It touches down or descends like a falling leaf swinging side to side.

Now, is there anything wrong with the maneuvers? Yes, they defy the laws of physics. First, Newton's third law states that for every action there is an opposite reaction. In order to have trust, there should be a drag. In order to have a lift, there should be a force of gravity. A semi-sling shot circular motion or force is needed to propel a circular disk just like throwing a frisbee to accelerate.

Material and design: The structural material of UFO is thought to resist or prevent high aerodynamics heating temperature at **Mach 10 speed (10 times the speed of sound = 7500 mph). The ultrahypersonic speed can produce megasonic booms that can shatter, annihilate, or fry any person or object standing or watching even at a great distance from its takeoff in a blink of an eye. Any person could also be damaged from air ionization that creates physical severe radiations.

Now, let me show some rough calculations on how large must the size of an alien spaceship be in order to survive traveling from its galaxy towards our galaxy. A small spaceship is too small to survive this fit as you will learn later. Therefore our concentration will only focus on the gigantic alien ship -- the mothership.

The largest plane known to man is the Russian Antonov An-225 as far as I know.

Its estimated maximum weight is around 700 tons with a length of around 300 feet and a wingspan of 300 feet and flies 550 mph max speed.

If an apple weighs around 5 lbs. and 1 ton is about 2000 lbs, then 1 ton = 400 apples where 700 tons is appx. 300,000 apples.

If a football field (360 feet by 160 feet) can accommodate around 7000 people and a person's weight is 200 lbs or 40 apples then 7000 people are 300,000 apples.

If you travel to the sun at 60 mph then it will take you 180 years to get there.

The space shuttle orbits the Earth at about 5 miles per second. A light-year is approximately 10 trillion kilometers or 6 trillion miles. So the shuttle would need about 38,000 years to fly across one light-year.

The nearest galaxy to us is 100,000 light-years. Light travels at 186,000 miles per second, which is about 38,000 times faster than the shuttle. If the space shuttle travels at the speed of light in one light-year, then its voyage will take approximately one year. To reach the nearest galaxy, it will take the shuttle 100,000 years.

Simple cells evolve 4.5 billion years. Modern men evolve 200,000 years. The first civilization evolve 5000 years ago. The equivalent time period from Moses to Barack Obama is around 3,800 years (yup that long ago).

From all these computations, we learn that the mothership of ufos needs to store a huge amount of food that will last for 3,700 years. Second, This food is equivalent to 1,350,500 apples (an apple per day per person). And, third, the food weighs equivalent to five Russian Antonov 225.

So if you imagine what is inside a mothership the size of a football field, it must have at least five airplanes of food, not mentioning the billions of containers of their fuel, squadrons of spaceships, and other thousands of cargo. This is extremely a very large flying machine traveling at the speed of light. This is like a hippopotamus running gracefully at the speed of the fastest animal on earth. Einstein's theory will not allow this. If the speed will equal the speed of light which becomes constant then the mass of the ship will totally be converted to a huge mass amount of energy.

The main concerns of UFO investigators, enthusiasts, and even ancient alien astronauts should be to locate this mother spaceship rather than speculating too much of what people see, experiences, and imagines.

**From the USAF records, the strongest sonic boom ever recorded was 144 pounds per square foot. The shock wave or peak overpressure was produced by an F-4 flying just above the speed of sound at an altitude of 100 feet. There is a probability that some damage shattered glass, for example, will result from a sonic boom. However, buildings should suffer no damage by pressures of less than 16 pounds per square foot. And, typically, community exposure to sonic boom is below two pounds per square foot. The ground width of the boom exposure area is approximately one mile for every 1,000 feet of altitude; that is, an aircraft flying supersonic at 30,000 feet will create a lateral boom spread of about 30 miles. Some maneuvers, diving, acceleration, or turning, can cause focusing of the boom. Depending on the aircraft's altitude, sonic booms reach the ground 2 to 60 seconds after the flyover. However, not all booms are heard at ground level for a boom to reach the ground, the aircraft speed relative to the ground must be greater than the speed of sound at the ground. For example, the speed of sound at 30,000 feet is about 670 miles per hour, but an aircraft must travel at least 750 miles per hour (a Mach 1, where Mach 1 equals the speed of sound) for a boom to be heard on the ground. Air Force procedures require that, whenever possible, flights be over open water, above 10,000 feet and no closer than 15 miles from shore. Supersonic operations over land must be conducted above 30,000 feet or, when below 30,000 feet, in specially designated areas. Continuing research specifically addresses modeling the generation of a sonic boom and its impact on the environment people, domestic animals, wildlife, and historical, unconventional, and conventional structures. As an aircraft flies at supersonic speeds it is continually generating shock waves, dropping sonic boom along its flight path, similar to someone dropping objects from a moving vehicle.  If the plane makes a sharp turn or pulls up, the boom will hit the ground in front of the aircraft. UFOs, most probably beyond Mach 10, usually make sharp turns. However, there are no sonic events ever heard and recorded from UFOs witnesses at all.

II. Alien Communication problems:

The other requirement is to find out if aliens and humans have the ability to communicate with each other. Ufologists depict extraterrestrial or space beings, known as ETs or aliens, as human-like or reptilian-like figures. These space creatures are assumed as highly intelligent and technologically sophisticated. However, because of the principle behind the theory of boundaries (pericorpus), the concept of communication with these creatures is totally implausible. Let me give you some insights to ponder why is this so!

If any of our experts can communicate with any animal like dogs or fish, just like the way we talk or discuss things with our mothers or friends, then I would say that human beings are intuitively capable enough to communicate with space visitors.

In view of the fact that we cannot do this, then even we encounter the most intelligent alien in the universe; there is no way that we can communicate to the just like the way we cannot communicate with the rest of the animal kingdom. The law of boundaries does not permit this naturally. The only thing humans can do is to copy their technology just like the way we copy things from nature and our environment.

So until homo sapiens cannot devise ways to exchange ideas with our closest hairy relatives in the Hominidae family, then maybe we need to think twice of spending too much money for a nonsense project. Intelligence has its own hierarchy. In the pyramid of intelligence, the species with the lowest intelligence has no capacity to match the intelligence of the next higher specie and so on and so forth. [Lawsin 2000].

Other  important parameters that must be taken into consideration on the SETI Project:
1. Index of refraction - the lens of an eyepiece can slow down the frequency of a signal. Atmospheric layers do the same. A moving object can also make a signal slow or fast.
2. Rotation and revolution - the earth is rotating and revolving at the same time. The milky way is also rotating. If another earth-like planet is on another galaxy located and behaving just like our galaxy, then the possibility to receive a signal from this galaxy is very very slim like finding a needle in a mountain of hay. At most, the space signal could only be a single pulse since everyone is rotating even though the source of the signal is emitting a continuous train of pulses.
3. Wavelengths - electromagnetic radiation cannot reach the surface of the earth except at a very few wavelengths, hence telescopes are placed at the peak of a mountain, mounted in aircraft, or incorporated in orbiting satellites so that these waves can be precisely detected. Light, which is radiation, can only travel at a certain distance.

III. Alien Civilization problems:

According to Originemology, Nature is the source of early information. Without Nature the early minds of the very first humans would be empty with information. Ideas would not be thought. Ideas would not be formed. Ideas would not exist in the minds of our stone-age ancestors. But, when our primitive parents started interacting with their environment; they gradually accumulated information, eventually learned to use them, and evidently discovered new ideas. This accumulation shows that Information originates from nature and flows from nature to the mind, from objects to ideas (emphasis: from objects to ideas), from physicalness to abstractness. This one-way direction is known as The One Way Principle Of Codexation and known as The First Law of Codexation.

Animals, plants, and every object in the sea, air, and land are all pieces of information. Their actions, properties, colors, textures, shapes, characteristics, sounds, and behaviors are pieces of information as well. All these things are the inherent objects that came first before human brains evolved. They are the pieces of information that humans borrowed and copied from nature. These entire pieces of information were created by Mother Nature for all her creations to interact.

Nature is the Mother of Information. She is the provider of information. She is the keeper of the database that catalogs all we see, hear, touch, smell, and taste. She is the holder of the universal list that contains the "names" of all living and non-living things. These names are the physical labels that flow from the outside world into the inside world of the mind, two different environs. The labels become abstracts and processed inside the mind. This transensational of physical to abstracts flows only in one direction - from the inherent world to the interim mind, from outside to inside, from objects to ideas. This informational transconversion or codexation is known as the Scriptional Jump.

Moreover, according to Lawsin, Information can only be acquired in two and only two ways: by choice and by chance. Information by Choice means the acquisition of information obtained from teachers, from parents, books, lessons from animals or from the environment; while, Information by Chance means the acquisition of information through discovering new things, fortunate accidents, unexpected experiences, unknown events or natural interventions. Every natural object such as humans, animals, plants, rocks, the universe including their behaviors, actions, and properties are all pieces of information. These objects are collectively called the inherent information. Individually, each entity is a particle of information is known as an iParticle.

Without Mother Nature, the human mind will be totally empty with information. It will be alive in the inside but dead on the outside. It is alive because internally it functions mechanically just like the gears and springs of a clock. The sustenance needed by the internal body and the mind is all already pre-set inside. (reflect: are they also controlled by the outside environment like temp, gravity, and pressure?). Externally, it is dead because there is no "sustenance" to see, hear, touch, smell, feel, and even discover. There are no inherent objects that will feed the internal mind and body. (reflect: relationship between internal mind/body and external body/?). Because of Mother Nature, both humans, and animals become aware, conscious, and self-conscious beings.
