Dr Sheila Kanani has spoken out about her belief that aliens
exist. She joins celebrities like Kim Wilde, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2018/03/kim-wilde-sees-ufo.html,
and intelligence chiefs like John Sawers, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2019/10/mi6-boss-says-aliens-exist.html,
in being a major public figure to admit they believe in extraterrestrial life.
Dr Kanani is an important official at the Royal Astronomical Society. In fact
you could say she probably has the most important job of all, seeing as she is
its "Education, Outreach and Diversity Officer". She certainly
recognizes a growth industry when she sees one. Her belief in aliens is far
more tempered than the other examples. She only considers it a "small
chance" that we will "stumble across" extraterrestrial life in
any form more interesting than micro-organisms, like earth's bacteria. She
said: "The fact that we know that
there are other solar systems out there around similar stars, it kind of makes
you think that we can't possibly be alone, the universe is just too big... If
there was life within our solar system it would not be intelligent life, it
would be microbial life." Source: https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/leading-astronomer-says-aliens-exist-22048049.
This is contradictory, especially if by life within the solar system she means
life that has developed independently from whatever mechanism caused it to
appear on earth. As I've said previously, it all comes down to statistics. The
idea that the earth is alone in the cosmos when it comes to sophisticated life
will be undone instantly the moment the tiniest scrap of life is found on a
nearby planet to the earth, and it can be proved to have originated there. It
is too much of a coincidence that the only two planets within ten billion light
years that have life just happen to be neighbours. We've recently heard that
the planet nearest to the earth, Venus, might have life on it, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2020/09/life-on-venus.html,
and that there is water on Mars, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2020/09/water-on-mars.html.
As far as the scale of creation goes, this is just next-door. Are we to believe
this tendency to the organic stops there? No. In fact the way our latest
discoveries are emerging it's looking as if life is a natural and common
emergent property of the universe. We should expect to find it everywhere, and
in all forms; including complex forms like we have on earth. It's about time
academics and pop scientists started admitting this and I hope Dr Kanani does
at some point.
