When will we meet aliens?

This is such an article that came to mind. All sorts of articles I’ve read over time always reminded me of “When will we meet aliens?” brings the question. I would like to share my thoughts on this issue, as I believe that you (please make sensible comments) have ideas that you can add to me.

What do aliens look like?

UFO pictures and alien rumors that we see on the right and left have always appeared before us. They will continue to come out. The press, which plays on the theories of bringing the end of society and the fear of it, and we occasionally make UFO news, frequently produces content on aliens. So when will we meet those aliens we talk about all the time? Will everything we talk about and write about be true? Or are we going to think that there is no other living thing in the universe but us and live our lives casually?

When will we meet aliens?

You may not be able to imagine any other form, as the photos leaked from Area 51 always show them in human form. Even though there are millions of different forms of life in the world, moreover… I think we should start with accepting that the concept that has settled in our language as aliens is wrong. Assuming that the Earth is located in space, we are actually aliens. We’ve already met aliens. It is necessary to define it as “extraterrestrials” as the Americans do. Then we will have a different perspective on what to look for.

Thanks to the advancement of technology, different species of living things emerge one by one in many environments that we were not aware of or even had access to in the world until today. Fish that are found in the deepest parts of the oceans and that do not even need the sunlight we think they need to live are coming to light.

These living species, which differ according to the environment, actually help us to look at the horizon and know what we are looking for. Of course, we will not look for fish. However, it will affect our perspective according to the environment to be researched. Let’s say we look for extraterrestrials on planets in our immediate vicinity. I would like to give my example on Mars, as it is the most talked about and the most researched planet.

Both planets (Earth and Mars) have a lot in common. Both have atmospheres, glaciers, hills and valleys. In fact, a day in both almost coincides with the same period. 24 hours on Earth, 24 hours 39 minutes on Mars. But the water resources that were once found on Mars have dried up. There may be many reasons for this. However, if we consider that these water molecules did not leave the planet, subterranean oceans may have formed. At this point, a research in the form of deep sea fish can be done by sampling from the world.

There is, of course, the fact that extraterrestrials can survive without being attached to a surface such as a planet. Then we have to think about those in the vacuum of space, it becomes clear that they need to have a very small and/or extremely strong outer layer in order to survive in that pressure environment. In this case, the shape we need to look at is mostly microscopic creatures.

There are many agencies currently working to find extraterrestrials. Some are public institutions and some are private enterprises. While some of these are just for show, most of them are institutions led by scientists. Although NASA is an institution that we all know when it comes to space, it has been conducting more prominent research on space science recently. Projects developed by the Mars Mission and the James Webb Telescope will begin to yield results and to convey more information to us in the coming years.

It may take centuries for this information to reach the desired level. Because it is not a study that will end with scanning the surface of Mars. Vehicles sent to the planet can only conduct surface surveys at this stage. It is impossible to know what we will encounter under the surface, among the sands. Who knows, maybe the underground oceans mentioned will give us clues about the life there. Also, the universe isn’t just about Mars. There are billions of billions of planets, galaxies, etc. that need to be looked at and studied. I doubt that humanity’s lifetime on earth will be enough even to reach these.

However, we need to know that we are not even at the very beginning of the road. We just decided to go. Considering the size of the universe and the distance between galaxies, we also see how simple our current technology is.

Aren’t there aliens coming to Earth to study humans or other creatures? Considering the size of the universe, it seems inevitable that there will be other living species. However, we do not know how advanced technology they are, or how far we can see them. All we know or hope is that something might happen somewhere.
