Scientists: Aliens are not lifeforms, but "cyborgs"? Appeared a million years ago?
Aliens are not living beings, but "cyborgs"
Recently, the Royal Astronomer said that aliens are not living beings, but "electronic beings", or rather, they appeared a million years ago. He believes that the aliens are no longer flesh-and-blood creatures, but substances with information and electronic virtual bodies.
I think this statement explains why we have not been able to find aliens until now. We have always imagined aliens in the same way as earthlings, thinking that they should have bodies, that they should be alive, and that they are a kind of "flesh and blood" beings. We have never thought of the most 'outrageous' form of aliens.
Some of the legends and rumors about aliens have never ceased, and many have even emerged. They falsely claim to have had contact with aliens, such as being abducted, taken away, or having an intimate relationship with them. These statements are very "bizarre". But when you look at them, you can see a big flaw.
That is, if aliens had found humans, how could they have simply abducted them and left? Such an event doesn't convince us.
As we all know, humans have been exploring Mars at the moment, trying to realize the plan to migrate to Mars, and someone has already started to implement this plan, and that is Musk. Musk has always wanted to send humans to live on Mars and realize his great dream. And Musk has already made plans for 2026 to send humans to live on Mars and officially become the first inhabitants of the planet.
Scientists believe that if humans settle on Mars, it is likely that they will become "a hybrid of flesh and blood and machines", becoming what we call "aliens". In other words, we have created aliens with our own hands.
Before we discovered aliens, they could be in any form, any matter, so we cannot refute the speculation that they are in electronic form. A large part of the population believes that aliens should look like this. In most people's perceptions, it is always assumed that aliens are powerful, have great technological capabilities, and can easily destroy a planet. It is for this reason that scientist Stephen Hawking warns us not to look for aliens easily, let alone try to contact them, to avoid irreversible consequences.
But I don't agree with the idea that aliens are electronic. If aliens are robots, then robots are unrestricted in the universe, i.e. they can travel freely through the universe without having to walk in space in a spacesuit as humans do.
A robot could navigate the universe alone, even achieve interstellar voyages, explore the universe, pilot huge spaceships and search for life in the universe. If they appeared a million years ago, does this mean that they might have discovered us? Maybe it's our turn to look for them.
If they were robots, they would certainly have had a higher level of electronics than we do. The firewalls of our modern society would be an ornament to them, and they could freely access our data and even spy on us. But we have developed one step at a time, no leap at all. The electronic world was created by humans and no other creature.
I am more convinced that aliens are also flesh-and-blood creatures, perhaps almost the same as humans, or even close to the level of technology. And the universe is so big that there could be more than one alien creature, and many strange ones too. If humans are technologically advanced enough, they might be able to find the answers.
The universe is mysterious, and with our level of technology we can't see the whole truth, but it would be nice to have a guess. After all, the first step in scientific research is to formulate a hypothesis, and once you have an idea, you will find a way to test it. As for the question of aliens being in electronic form, maybe humans living on Mars will have some clues. What do you think about this?

Will humans never be able to fly out of the solar system? Voyager blocked by 'wall of fire' with 50,000°C temperature
Can humans fly out of the solar system? This is a question that is of great concern to everyone. It has been more than 40 years since Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 flew off the Earth, so long that many people thought Voyager had flown out of the solar system, but the reality is just the opposite.

Chinese Planetary Engineering: The Great Green Wall and the Reclamation of Climate
There are junctures in history where a civilization no longer chooses between comfort and progress, but between adaptation and extinction. At the dawn of the new millennium, China hit one of those silent thresholds where geography ceases to be a backdrop and becomes an adversary. The desert was advancing, not as a metaphor for decay, but as a physical, methodical, and relentless force. Sand was devouring the horizon, winds grew heavy with dust, and the soil lost its fertile memory, taking with it the promise of social stability.

US Warns Airlines About Military Activity in Parts of Latin America
Commercial aviation is built on predictability—clearly defined airspace, coordinated air traffic control, and shared international rules. When that predictability is disrupted, even subtly, the ripple effects can stretch far beyond the cockpit. That is exactly why a recent warning from the United States has caught the attention of airlines, governments, and travelers alike. In early 2026, US aviation authorities issued an advisory warning airlines about military activity in parts of Latin America, urging pilots to exercise heightened caution when flying over certain regions. While no immediate restrictions or flight bans were imposed, the message itself was clear: something in the skies has changed, and the risks—however limited—can no longer be ignored. This development is not just about aviation safety. It reflects a growing intersection between geopolitics, military operations, and civilian infrastructure in a region that has long balanced cooperation with tension. What Exactly Did the US Warn About? The advisory, released through official aviation safety channels, highlighted concerns over potential military activity affecting airspace across parts of Mexico, Central America, South America, and nearby oceanic regions. Airlines were advised to remain vigilant during all phases of flight, including cruising at high altitudes, takeoff, and landing. Unlike routine notices related to weather systems or airport congestion, this warning explicitly referenced security-related risks. These include the possibility of unexpected military movements, temporary airspace disruptions, and interference with navigation systems that modern aircraft rely on for safe operations. Importantly, the warning did not accuse any specific country of wrongdoing, nor did it suggest an immediate danger to passengers. Instead, it served as a precaution—one designed to ensure airlines adjust flight planning, monitoring, and communication protocols accordingly. Why Military Activity Matters to Civil Aviation To the average traveler, military exercises or operations may seem distant from the experience of flying on a commercial jet. In reality, the two worlds often share the same skies. Civilian aircraft depend heavily on satellite navigation, coordinated air traffic control, and stable airspace rules. Military operations—especially those involving fast-moving aircraft, surveillance systems, or electronic equipment—can introduce uncertainty into that environment. Some of the key risks aviation authorities monitor include: Unplanned military aircraft movements that may not follow civilian flight patterns Temporary airspace closures or restrictions that require last-minute rerouting Navigation signal disruptions, whether accidental or intentional Increased congestion in strategic corridors used by both civilian and military flights While these risks are typically managed through coordination and communication, heightened military activity raises the stakes. The FAA’s advisory suggests that such activity has reached a level where additional caution is warranted. The Geopolitical Context Behind the Warning The timing of the advisory is not accidental. Latin America has seen a noticeable rise in security operations and military coordination involving the United States over the past year. These efforts are largely focused on counter-narcotics missions, maritime security, and regional stability, particularly in areas with strategic shipping routes or ongoing political tension. At the same time, broader global dynamics—ranging from great-power competition to shifting alliances—have increased the strategic importance of air and sea routes across the Western Hemisphere. From Washington’s perspective, issuing an aviation warning is not about alarmism. It is about acknowledging that military and security activities in the region may temporarily affect civilian systems, including aviation. How Airlines Are Responding For airlines, advisories like this are not unusual—but they are taken seriously. Most major carriers already operate with layered safety systems that allow them to respond quickly to changing conditions. In practical terms, this warning may lead to: Slight route adjustments to avoid specific airspace Enhanced pilot briefings before flights Increased coordination with air traffic controllers Closer monitoring of navigation and communication systems So far, there have been no widespread flight cancellations or suspensions linked directly to the warning. That suggests airlines view the risk as manageable, provided proper precautions are followed. Reactions from Latin American Governments Some governments in the region have been quick to reassure the public. Officials have emphasized that their national airspace remains safe and fully operational, and that civilian flights continue without disruption. This response highlights an important tension: while the US warning is precautionary, it can still affect public perception. Tourism, business travel, and investor confidence are all sensitive to suggestions of instability—even when no immediate danger exists. As a result, many countries are walking a careful line between cooperating on aviation safety and defending their reputation for stability. What This Means for Passengers For travelers, the key takeaway is simple: commercial aviation remains safe. Warnings like this are designed to prevent incidents, not predict them. Passengers flying through or over affected regions may experience slightly longer flight times or minor schedule adjustments, but there is no indication of increased danger to civilian aircraft. In fact, the existence of such advisories demonstrates how seriously aviation authorities take even low-probability risks. A Sign of a More Complex World The US warning to airlines is a reminder that modern air travel does not exist in a vacuum. As military operations, security concerns, and geopolitical rivalries evolve, civilian systems—from shipping lanes to flight paths—are increasingly affected. This moment underscores a broader reality: the skies are becoming more crowded, more contested, and more interconnected with global politics. Managing that complexity will require continued transparency, cooperation, and vigilance from governments, regulators, and airlines alike. For now, planes continue to fly, passengers continue to travel, and the system continues to work. But behind the scenes, aviation authorities are quietly adjusting to a world where safety is shaped not just by weather and mechanics—but by geopolitics as well.
