>>319859Possibly.
Honestly I'm not 100% convinced about the narratives of our own planet to begin with.
Now I'm not a flat earther or similar, but I feel like it has been proven or at least to me based on my experiences I've seen enough to believe that there is an upper class that has access to information far beyond us.
Most of modern science seems like theater.
I've read some research papers I've come across here and there, by no means do I claim to be well read on anything, but they just feel like bullshit.
Educated guesses at best, but still they are nothing more than imagination.
My biggest issue with these things is that as another wizard here points out,
>>319866 too much of it is hypothetical.
Then most "educated" people just accept these things as facts and base further theories on them, because as a PHD student for example you have to write papers about SOMETHING and hard things are too hard for the average college goer so they just perpetuate bullshit.
Another aspect of this is that the education system isn't invention driven. Even when I was studying mechanical engineering (dropout) and later computer science, the hardest of the physics classes still left a lot to be desired.
I felt like the entire thing still was nothing more than a way to mold you into a worker. Your mind is framed by this supposed education so those who went through it only think in its confines.
This just perpetuates the problem. I can only imagine that there are enough falsehoods or half truths in there that no real breakthrough can be built on top of it by the average man.
As for life besides us? You can look into fun stuff like entire worlds in cells or whatnot. They have about as much substance as any other hypothesis.
We don't know enough about Earth to begin with let alone the universe.
