There are already discovered lifeforms here in vulcanic lakes etc., they can survive great differences in temperature and the impact when the asteroid is hitting the earth; so it could be possible they could have infiltrated on our planet by asteroids for example.
Some lifeforms deep in the ground don't breath oxygen, they breathe iron. They are extremely primitive.
They could be the origin of our existence. |
The marvel is that we are here at all. Isn't it just fantastic! seeing as this is about extra terrestrials a view I subscribe to is that if we fully get to understand the quantum world and its amazing possibilities then we do need to consider that we could be our own extra terrestrials.
Causality as we know it says we can not cause an action that exceeds the speed of light and yet entangled particles respond both instantly without disrupting causality. It caused Einstein to describe them as 'spooky at a distance'.
When we discover the means of harnessing time would we know enough to not interfere in our past no matter how curious it is? For those of us now it may be like the Nietzsche scenario where he was sure we just keep repeating our existence.
Now in a link to all time and thought there may be significant pressure on changing existence but given the number of daily choices we face it should be unavoidable. The pressure would be on selecting which of the many choices that are available. The thoughts may be uniform but our actions need not be. We can make a difference.
That is my altruistic thought. And why haven't we seen contact from the future if that is possible. Perhaps it is because intelligence has developed and it is best to be satisfied with what we have and plan clearly for the best that could be. Multi or one, I believe we have one but with a multitude of choices, among them some really good ones so free will is ours to use wisely and is worth the effort.
To travel back and make the slightest change could disrupt everything we have so far achieved good and bad, the areas we have excelled in and those terrible mistakes that may yet someday be remedied when we have this place in order, our beautiful world holds so many possibilities. It is up to us to ensure our children and their children benefit greatly from them.
