If your a classically trained astronomer feel free to weigh in. I positively chafe every single damn time I hear some astrophysicist chime in about this situation and say something along the lines of ; “it’s ridiculous to think biological elements could survive a long journey in space” or my favorite “nothing could possibly travel any meaningful fraction or past the speed of light” like their entire profession didn’t get turned on its fucking head when one satellite went online.
As scientists they should know first how young, ignorant and ARROGANT we are about the vastness of space. The best data we have about any other planet outside of out solar systems is damn shadows from other stars. We don’t even have the ability to detect objects betond a certain size throughout our own solar system. How these two capabilities add up to any random human making claims about the facts of the universe I have no fucking idea and I don’t know how they could consider themselves so high when they know for a fact that they don’t know .01 % of how to model all the complex systems in our universe or how exactly those forces interplay. If there was an accepted standard model of phsyics and they made these kinds of claims it would be easier to swallow. Without the standard model agreed upon these kinds of speculations are worthless shits in the wind and bear no merit on the governments ability to exploit science for its national security advantage in ways that don’t support the scientific vision of the world and how it should be. Scientists don’t run budgets for the military.
But they hire the fuck and control the fuck out of them.
Never heard any of these astrophysicists look into history and question the moments where the government shoved their hand into science and how that affected the future scientific community. They won’t because they may come across that their entire career helping harm the planet with fuel rockets thinking their doing the best they can do when in reality they all failed us and have been failing us this ENTIRE TIME not standing up to these people to get the truth.
It’s a wholly ridiculous to claim that because of your training, your information from this immature species you can posit a “fact” that these things aren’t possible. There’s not a damn human outside of some extremely secured program that can make determinations about this area of science and the ones that have they’ve all signed NDAs and don’t participate in the wider scientific community as the ones who make these kinds of claims.
Imagine being an ant claiming to your colony that it’s impossible for the sky gods to bring poisoned food so make sure you eat up all that weird smelling stuff. Practically what they’re doing.
Damn clown show.
The only fact there is, is that we aren’t sure about just about everything we think we know about the past(governments around the world obsessed with scientific secrets) , present (governments jealously guarding this info for national security) and future (go back 5 years and tell me you predicted all this going down your a liar) and this information hinges on the dime of the MIC who has spent an ungodly amount of money controlling the geopolitical elements of our society to make this happen.
That money being spent on SOMETHING important is a FACT and some dusty ass scientist with wishful thinking (who obviously didn’t get that juicy misappropriated funding for HIS projects) about why something isn’t possible is just dusty, USELESS information that has negative societal value.
I highly suspect people who are educated are seething with rage that their scientific careers are a fucking scam if any of this is true and say this in fragile defence of the house of cards they’ve built upon. I’d be livid, thinking I’m spending my life helping humanity by building rockets to take us into the future, only to find out I’ve been helping pollute the planet and gaslight the populace into submission.
