Science seeks facts about things, but in some cases science cannot find a fact.
Sometimes it’s good to submit thinking with science’s rate, but other times it is good to regard excellence of brain power.
Science has not found any facts about aliens, however, it is excellence of brain power to accept that there probably are other species in the sapient category with humans.
Is it excellent that I portray existence as probably containing another, alien species like humans?
I answer this question with ‘yes, because things expand, because of supermassive sizes of things, and demand for life, this is excellent thinking. There probably are aliens in the same category as humans’.
Whether it’s a gut feeling or a sensible theory, sometimes it’s good to regard attempts at settling debates/discussion using brain power, if it is excellent.
We ought not always submit where science submits, for our brain power is grand enough to settle some disputes/conversations. If we all agree it is excellence, or it’s sensible, a person’s brain power might be the preferred conclusion.
Science though submits to reason (but not so when trying to understand quantum mechanics as it defies normal intuition), sometimes the best science is when reason is counterintuitive.
Thus as philosophers we should submit to reason and thinking. Science is just another word for rationality and empiricism.
Do you think reason has a limit ? I do … imagination therefore has to combine with reason whilst the former has a limit to what can be understood imagination is what sets us free
Facts are rooted in reality because reality consists of facts. As reality and facts are probed by reason intellect and empiricism they remain rooted to this domain.
Imagination allows as to defy certain aspects of reality such as gravity and gives flight to ideas which though rooted in science are not constrained by it.
There are no aliens like humans, because science hasn’t found relative facts.
There are probably other aliens like humans because of various reasons surrounding reality(supermassive sizes, expansion, other exoplanets with similar conditions, etc).
What interests me is not really the existence of aliens ‘ as exciting as that may be but the potential of man.
We have limits imposed by us from science in terms of traversing other worlds planets outside of the solar system etc. one such limit is the speed of light which makes those types of journeys almost impossible so far. Yet we have defied one law which is gravity by enabling us to reach the moon etc.
So I wonder if by this same attitude of overcoming the limits imposed on us by nature whether we can find ways to hack the laws of physics in such a way as to allow interstellar flight.
We can do without waiting for science to open the box of something new, and declare it exists, or is probable, now, without lugging science of the matter along.
Metaphorically, do we not accept the existence of information boxes, that clearly may be, because science has not yet opened them?
I, as a representation of brain power excellence, think we ought take note of these boxes.
There’s lots of information that supports alien life, similar to humans, sapient. It’s righteous to declare it a probability. I reach this conclusion on brain-power registering reality.
