There are many advanced civilizations in the Milky Way

In the middle of the last century, physicist Enrico Fermi and a friend discussed, "If there are many developed civilizations in the Milky Way, why don't we see any traces of them left behind?"

His inadvertent mutterings became the "Fermi paradox" that has plagued the scientific community for more than half a century.

Closely related to the Fermi paradox is the "great silence" - that is, even if interstellar travel is difficult to achieve, if intelligent life is widespread, why have we not detected any meaningful traces of it? Why haven't we detected any meaningful radio signals?

According to the "banality principle" proposed by Carl Sagan and Frank Drake, the Earth is just an ordinary celestial body in the universe, and humans are just ordinary creatures on this ordinary celestial body, so if the Earth can produce humans, then other celestial bodies must be able to produce similar intelligent creatures. Therefore, it is strange and incomprehensible that the universe is so "dead".

To explain this bizarre situation, scientists have put forward many conjectures and hypotheses, the most famous of which is the "zoo hypothesis" and the "laboratory hypothesis" derived from it.

Both hypotheses are essentially the same, in that they suggest that humans are currently under the watchful eye of a more advanced civilization that determines what humans can see. Just like the movie "Truman's World" renders, the seemingly real life of the main character is nothing more than a scene built by someone outside the studio.

Why does this hypothesis have such a large following? The bizarre behavior of the astronauts back on Earth is perhaps the best answer to this question.

In all professions at present, the comprehensive requirements of astronauts can be said to be the highest, not only the need for a strong body, intelligent mind, and tough psychological but also a qualified astronaut's necessary qualities.

But is the comprehensive quality of such a high astronaut, back on Earth but shut up about the moon landing, and even abandoned materialism, turned to the gods to the arms of theology and the occult, how can not let people suspect it?

Buzz Aldrin

Buzz Aldrin, the astronaut who set foot on the moon with Armstrong, radioed to the control center before exiting the capsule with a request: a moment of silence to express his gratitude to his Creator.

At a press conference on his return to Earth, Aldrin made a surprising statement, saying that he agreed with the existence of a "Creator" and that there must be a "Creator" in the universe.

Armstrong

In 1976, Armstrong gathered dozens of people to form an expedition to the rainforest between Ecuador and Peru in search of the legendary "Sun City", which is filled with gold and jewels.

In the local indigenous legends, the Sun City is not only full of gold and silver jewelry, and even hides the secret of the origin of all things. But the legend is after all a legend, the facts prove that the Sun City does not exist.

The question arises, why did Armstrong believe in this legend, so much so that he went to great lengths to find the Sun City? Did he know some secret? Most of all, did he end up finding it or not?

In 1971, astronaut Edgar Mitchell followed the Apollo 14 spacecraft to the moon, becoming the sixth human to leave a footprint on the moon.

Edgar Mitchell

It is reasonable to say that with such a great honor, Mitchell's future is absolutely promising, but not only did he return to Earth, he decided to leave the space industry to retire.

Here comes the weird operation. After retirement, Mitchell did not do business or write, but turned around and gathered some astrophysical scientists, cosmologists, and astrobiologists, and founded the Institute for Noetic Science (Institute for Noetic Science).

The Institute was established for the express purpose of searching for aliens and extraterrestrial civilizations, as well as studying paranormal phenomena on Earth that cannot be explained by science.

Mitchell said in a lecture that he had felt the call of the "Creator" during the moon landing and experienced the existence of other life on other planets, which is why he established the Institute of Noritake Science.

James Irwin

Similar to Mitchell's experience, astronaut James Irwin, who followed Apollo 15 to the moon, should have had a great future, but he also gave up his favorite career, retired to enter the seminary, and founded a religious organization - "High Flight He also gave up the career he loved and entered the seminary after retiring, establishing a religious organization - "High Flight" (High Flight).

Although it is a religious organization, its function is in fact and the Institute of Noetic Sciences the same, dedicated to the search for those paranormal phenomena that science can not explain, such as Alvin has led members twice to Turkey's Mount Ararat to look for the legendary "Noah's ark" traces.

Usually, in most people's impression, astronauts are associated with "absolutely rational", "scientifically literate" and other adjectives, no one would expect them to be obsessed with something that seems nebulous to the next person, but they came back from the universe After precisely do so, does this mean that they know the truth of certain things in the universe, which is why they are so obsessed and obsessed with these legends?

There have been many people who suspect that the so-called "myths and legends", maybe a lost history, the story of those omnipotent "gods" may be the aliens who have visited the Earth.

Combining myths and legends, zoo hypotheses, and the "unusual" behavior of astronauts, we can not suspect that aliens have been watching the Earth.
