Big Brain Social Chats Over Drinks: Stargazing: Universe/Cosmology/SETI/UAPs

Here at Chillout- we like to leave unengaging boring uninspiring small talk at the office where it belongs and instead focus on fascinating, thought provoking dopamine boosting exhilarating themed chats with laughs and jokes along the way amongst sociable, outgoing, inquisitive and well informed minds hosted by an objective truth seeking evidence based former international Journalist!

As a spin off from our monthly stargazing event - for today's thought provking great big topic - we talk about all things STARGAZING related with no clear skies required (yay! - though I'll bring my telescope if it is clear):

"There is a big question we all have: are we alone in the universe? Exoplanets confirm the suspicion that planets are not rare.” Neil deGrasse Tyson, Professor & Astrophysicist

"There's a billion to one chance we're living in base reality," Elon Musk

Unexplained UAPs & Physics Defying Technologies
"There is footage and records of objects in the skies that we don't know exactly what they are...we can't explain how they move, their trajectory. When it comes to aliens, there are things I just can’t tell you" US President Obama, 17th May 2021

The Great Silence & Astrobiology
"There’s 20 billion potential Earth-like planets in the Milky Way... we’ve looked for signs of life but nothing yet. It took four billion years to go from microbial life to a civilisation. That’s a third of the age of the universe....and so that may indicate things like us maybe rare" On Panspermia: “It’s not bonkers to suggest life may have begun somewhere else and we’re looking for it" (Mars, Europa probes etc.) Professor Brian Cox, Astrophysicist Professor@The Royal Society/Cambridge & Musician

We are just an insignificant tiny blue dot
"Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark" Carl Sagan

"There are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the observable universe. We human beings are not that important" Man invented god to give us purpose" Dr Sean Carroll, Philosophy Professor

"If detectable, the radio signals we've transmitted since 1895 have travelled 128 light-years (about 900 stars) only vs a radius of 11k light years for the Milky Way, so most civilisations probably have no idea we exist just we don't exist to them. Even if closer, unlikely they have the tech to travel star systems or survive it. Else given our comparative level of tech, we would neither be a threat nor materially beneficial to them, so other than mere insatiable curiosity why would they visit us?" Lucas Bulsara - Host

"I believe we exist in a multiverse of universes" Michio Kaku, Physicist & professor

Friend or Foe
“We have things flying over our military bases...and it isn’t ours. If it’s something from outside this planet that might be better than it being a technological leap from the Chinese or Russians." US Senator Marco Rubio, Congressional Senate Intelligence Committee

"If aliens visit us, the outcome would be much as when Columbus landed in America, which didn't turn out well for the Native Americans" Stephen Hawkings, Cosmologist

"It only takes a civilisation a bit more tech than us to spot us from halfway across the galaxy so if they are out there they have probably found us already. Will they be friendly or hostile? " Nick Pope, former head of UFO Intelligence at UK Ministry of Defence

Disclosure, Congressional Hearings, What is the Truth?
"The recently unclassified Pentgon's secret UFO program revealed millions of tax money spent on 38 papers researching space travel including anti-gravity, invisibility, wormholes, warp drives & the Drake Equation to predict the number of alien civilisations. This is sci-fi on steriods!" Lucas Host

"Imagine everything you’ve been taught.. turned out to be not entirely accurate? What if mankind is not the zookeeper but just another animal in the zoo? What would that mean? Do we still need the social institutions, governmental and religious organizations? Lue Elizondo. Former U.S. Army Counterintelligence Special Agent, DOD & head of AATIP
