“…For example, the hypothesis of microfossils on the Martian meteorite ALH84001 (McKay et al 1996) have fueled controversies which still are discussed today (see e.g. Wainwright 2014). Turning to more advanced ET life, take the now amusing idea that there are artificial canals on Mars.…”

The Impact of Discovering Life Beyond Earth

Abstract:I first argue that the extraterrestrials we will find will not communicate, for the simple reason that they would likely be either immensely inferior or immensely superior to us. Then, I argue that the discovery of extraterrestrials will be slow, like other previous major scientific discoveries. I introduce a multidimensional model to assess and to prepare the impact of discovering extraterrestrial life. Twenty-six dimensions are introduced, illustrated with spider diagrams, which cover both what extraterrestrial might look like, and how humans may react.
