According to our current understanding, our Galaxy, the Milky Way, Consists of 200 to 400 billion stars. It is also estimated that there are 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe. In fact our sun is one of the stars in the trillions and trillions of stars in the observable universe. The sun is situated in a habitable zone in our galaxy and it has at least one life-bearing planet, the earth. If a star is situated in a habitable zone, and if it has a planet, which is situated in a zone, which is not too hot or cold, and if the planet has life supporting conditions like the presence of water, favorable environment and atmosphere, then there is a high probability of past, present or future life. Many astrobiologists consider this possibility very seriously. It is highly unlikely that the sun is the only star among the trillions and trillions of stars in the entire universe, which hosts a life-bearing planet. In fact many scientists and philosophers consider the possibility of a large number of life-bearing planets or even planets with intelligent civilizations in our own galaxy or the galaxies beyond. Maybe some of them are 1000, 10,000 or even millions of years ahead of us with their scientific and technological capabilities and advancements. They could have a deeper understanding of matter, energy, space, time and even the universe. Mr. Joseph George believes that, as a human being, what we can think, conceptualize or even fantasize about any level of technological advancement with our limited knowledge about matter, energy, space, time etc, a highly advanced civilization in the universe can easily make that possible and implement such technologies. If we ever get a chance to glance a fraction of their scientific knowledge or technologies, it might help us to make giant leaps in our science and technology. In the coming videos we will discuss such possible extraterrestrial scientific knowledge and technologies. You are welcome to join in this exciting journey of exploration and thank you for watching!
