Philae lander detects sign of alien life!
Are we on the cusp of a historical breakthrough with a possible detection of alien life by the Philae Lander on the comet named 67P, isn't this mind boggling? If this discovery is confirmed in the coming days then just imagine that these alien microbes have been flying past our home planet for all these years and we were looking for life all over the Universe except a little far away from our backyard. Add this with the recent finding that earth is currently undergoing a massive extinction event, and who knows which species will be ruling the earth in another 50 or so Million years. Sounds amazing, isn't it?
And all those people who want to get the alien microbes from the comet to earth please beware that it may not turn out too well for organisms on earth. Nope, nothing like what was depicted in the movie Species is going to happen, but it could cause doom for the earthly species who have no protection against the kind of germs or diseases these alien microbes could be carrying. So, if it is found out that the comet 67P is carrying alien microbes then humans need to be very cautious in bringing them to earth and studying it.
In another news item of breakthrough potential, Facebook CEO mentioned that ultimate goal of Facebook is to allow Telepathic communication between people by mapping our thoughts and emotions from the brain waves into electromagnetic waves and then transferring it to other people. Well, that's very awesome but what if your brain gets hacked into? What about all those junk advertising, the hate posts and stupid videos? Hope our brain evolves pretty fast to cope up with all this and the useless chatting that we will be doing with 500 other people, thanks to Facebook and Whatsapp of future, during our (not so social) social mind talking experience!
Hopefully, humanity will be there to experience all these wonderful stuff and much more, but the most important thing that humanity needs to learn for being future-proof is to unlearn the evolutionary instinct of US vs THEM. We need to learn to live together in love and peace, and have fun while solving more puzzles that the Universe throws at us!
