okay, so I was watching a little Deep Space Nine last night. I think it would be so cool to get even deeper with alien imagination. I mean, I know that Holllywood screenwriters aren't scientists or astrophysicist, or anything like that, I mean, that's expected. It's just that I think it would be so cool and amazing if there was a new series of Star Trek that focused more on alien biology. It's just that in the previous episodes, they seem more directed towards alien culture, and not alien biology. It's just that almost all alien species encountered by crew members are humanlike, and they all speak English...lol. Oh, and when I was watching, one of my classmates was watching it with me, and she asked me do I believe that UFOs have been coming to Earth ...Umm, no. I just told her that our galaxy alone is much too vast. In order to even attempt to find intelligent alien life forms elsewhere in the universe, we would have to look among over 400 billion stars, or so in our own galaxy to find a planet or moon that could support life. I mean, say that "aliens" were directed to look in the direction of our Sun, what's the probability even then that they would discover our existence. I just told her that life has existed on Earth for about 4 billion years, I mean, since it formed. Yet only in the past half century or so have we been transmitting any signals of our existence. I just think and I'm convinced that the chances of discovering our existence would be about 1 in 100 million, based on the millions and billions of stars, galaxies, and planets. And this applies only if they knew exactly where to look. UFOs are so fake.
