The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like.

The "Powers That Be" are not smart enough to engineer Armageddon, but they may yet be stupid enough. If governments are involved in covering up the knowledge of aliens, then they are doing a much better job of it than they seem to do at anything else.

We are only the temporary custodians of the particles which we are made of. They will go on to lead a future existence in the enormous universe that made them

Half the battle is just showing up.

All that my work has shown is that you don't have to say that the way the universe began was the personal whim of God.

There is no prescribed route to follow to arrive at a new idea. You have to make the intuitive leap.

Issuing an insurance policy against abduction by aliens seems a pretty safe bet.
