Against the Grain

The basic themes to be explored in ‘All Things Extraterrestrial’ include:

Regarding cosmology: There was a ‘before the Big Bang’. The Big Bang was not a quantum event. Space and time are infinite. The Universe is expanding throughout existing space; space itself is not expanding. There is a Multiverse.

Regarding astrobiology: Panspermia is probably the most likely explanation for terrestrial’s origin of life. Microbial life is very common throughout the cosmos; complex (multicellular) life somewhat rarer; intelligent life rarer still but not by any means nonexistent.

Regarding extraterrestrials: The time it takes to explore and colonize our galaxy is a small fraction of the age of our galaxy. E.T. has had a massive head start on us. Part and parcel of E.T.’s exploration was that Planet Earth was discovered many, many eons ago.

Regarding mythology: The monotheistic God and the polytheistic gods existed, but not as supernatural deities but as flesh-and-blood extraterrestrials we now call ‘ancient astronauts’. God was just one of the gods. Collectively they tend to have a thing for genetic engineering. Ancient astronauts ‘created’ mankind via artificial selection from primate stock as well as a whole host of hybrid beings we associate with mythology. They remain with us today – via the hardcore UFOs – still performing genetic engineering – the abduction scenario.

The offbeat: There’s a strong possibility we exist as simulated beings in a virtual reality.

Once Upon A Time; In the Beginning; From the Top; Whatever

This blog will tend to be about all things extraterrestrial. The emphasis will be on topics including cosmology, even astrophysics and associated quantum physics, but in the main it will focus on extraterrestrials, aliens, LGM (little green or grey men, women and critters) from our past and into the present. That is, topics covering ancient astronauts and UFOs will be in the mainstream. There will be a fair bit on religion, but religion as associated with our mythologies and how that fits in with our friendly, or not so friendly, ideas about E.T. Associated with all things extraterrestrial will be the broader mainstream topics of exobiology or astrobiology, including SETI – the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. Overall, much of what follows will be against the grain as currently accepted by your average scientist, even the layperson, as to what constitutes the status quo norm. Nothing is scared and everything is grist for the extraterrestrial mill.
