Face It - We Are Alone

We are stuck with our universe, and powerless to alter its fundamental constants. So long as this is the case, the anthropic principal will be immune to experimental falsification  - a sure sign that it is not a scientific principle. 
Heinz R. Pagels, A Cozy Cosmology, The Sciences, Vol. 25 No. 2 March/April 1985 p. 35-38

As one gets a certain age, one must take stock. One must admit that some long held beliefs were a bust. As a youngster growing up in the 1960's I was all but convinced in my heart and soul that by the year 2015, we would have made contact with certain higher life forms that surely populated the universe.

Pioneer Plaque - Relax, no one will ever see it...

And in hand with that there would most certainly be proof that could be visited in a museum. The Lunar Rosetta stone for instance. After all there was Carl Sagan and the Drake Equation, how could one go wrong with authority such as that? Here we are in the early 21st century and not one artifact, not one message, and not even anymore sightings of possible alien spacecraft.

Relax! The aliens threw their record players parsecs ago...

For many years the Oracle of Ottawa was convinced of the mainstream urban myth that our governments had secretly cut a deal with the aliens and all findings were forever stored and suppressed. But the only people that could believe that are the ones that have never worked for government! Governments can't keep secrets. And the only thing that a government can cover up, given enough time and money, is it's self! And as time goes on it is getting harder and harder for them to even attempt to do so.

My favorite counter argument today for the space cadets is this; if the worlds largest governments really had the ear of a Type III civilization, do you think that they would have allowed 9/11 to happen? That argument just kills, feel free to use it. The smarter ones then start on about all the exo-planets discovered by the Kepler Observatory of late. How there are thousands of possible earth like planets in the sweet spot around a star with water. The reply here is, how many of those sweet spot planets have a counter rotating molten core like Earth that will generate the defenses from the full electromagnetic interstellar space spectrum like the Earth does? The answer is about zero.

Then there is the question is why did the Americans stop going to the Moon? Answer: the TV ratings went to hell and there was way more money and profit margin per item, for the defense contractors to make Agent Orange and Napalm then heavy detail cost plus contracts for small amounts of very closely supervised space vehicles! Yes Sir! The Humans of Earth are one serious bottom line life form...

The Universe - An Excellent Introduction

We who write and read these chapters are setting forth as explorers who rarely touch solid ground or come abreast of contemporary events.
Harlow Shapely, Galaxies, Third Edition, (opening line), p.1

The universe is a violent, dangerous, random place. And that is just starting out in our own solar system! Out in interstellar space it all gets even more dangerous, contrary to the pap that is fed to us through the large corporate ho media, it is best not thought of as a theme park.

WR142 - The Universe is a dangerous place...

 After viewing many documentaries on the University of You Tube the Oracle of Ottawa has picked out a real winner. I have watched it myself a number of times. And I can find no fault. So as a public service to my Dear Readers around the world I have come to realize that it is my duty to share it with you.

 The documentary is titled; Journey To The Edge Of The Universe. It is breathtakingly awesome in its visual quality and it's factual correctness. And best of all it is narrated by Alec Baldwin, who must have a very keen interest in such matters because his passion is utterly infectious. It is also in HD and the visuals throughout are simply breathtaking. And again, after watching it through more than once, the Oracle of Ottawa can find not a single factual error.

As a matter of fact at some points the Oracle of Ottawa was so moved that when Alec asked if we should bother to continue, the Oracle of Ottawa must be perfectly honest and admit that the door to the transporter room would not have slapped my ass on the way into it! Going were no man has gone before is most certainly for youngsters. And as the feature comes to its end the Oracle of Ottawa is always comforted by the fact that living at the bottom of a deep gravity well that orbits a naked nuclear furnace way out in the boondocks of an average galaxy certainly has its advantages...
