I would like to say that the search for extraterrestrial life is scientifically feasible. The reason I am starting with this is because some in the scientific community are just starting to take it serious and not saying you’re a quack for speaking on it.
I also want to mention that I am not one of the scientists who participated in the writing of this paper, however I do conduct my own independent research.
The reason for this is because I have witnessed one of these extraterrestrials several times over the past years. At first like most would I assumed they were UFOs in the common sense (spaceship from space) but it became clear to me that they were in fact energy (plasma) and a lifeforms. This conclusion of mine predates the writing of the PDF by over a decade. I am only starting to see “catch up” in the scientific and governmental funded fields in the last 5 years.
I will end my statement with this. I can confirm without a doubt that extraterrestrials are on this planet. I cannot confirm if this is a good or bad thing.
P.S. i don’t agree with 100% of the pdf
The SETI project is 65 years old. It is a real scientific ongoing endeavour to find evidence for extraterrestrial life. It’s not seen as quackery.
Most if not all Mars missions are there to find evidence for extraterrestrial life. That all started more than 20 years ago. Scientists seriously considering the existence of extraterrestrial life is not a recent phenomenon at all.
It also has had real issues finding funding. And yes many who have worked for it. Have then had real issues finding work outside that field.
So yes by many it has spent a sizable portion of that 65 years seen as not real science. And a waste of money.
Quackery is a term normally saved for medical non science. Not a term I tend to use unless the scientific background is actually false.
Scientists tend to just question the effectiveness and cost of a scientific endever.
