[Q&A+] We Hardly See Other Planets. What's The Point of Searching for Life Out There

Outer space is fake! Planets are not what we've been taught to believe they're luminaries in the sky more specifically luminaries reflected off of the firmament

I have a pretty obvious solution to this question that allows probes to be sent without our knowledge. ANY advanced technological civilization would take steps to ensure their probes don't destroy potential life elsewhere. They would be designed to be benign. Perhaps our solar system has already been infected with such a probe and it is silently awaiting us to find it like in "the Sentinel" or "2001: A Space Odyssey". I think a sufficiently advanced civilization wouldn't send probes that annihilate life supporting planets. A simple detection protocol would most likely be instilled in their probes. Even with a broad selection of possible life signatures that still leaves all the other planetary solar systems sans life supporting planets to disassemble and create enough probes to saturate the galaxy. Just as humans can't conceive of DEEP TIME everyone seems to forget the relentlessness of probability in an almost infinite setting. That even at vanishingly small probability it still takes only ONE alien civilization willing and able to successfully send these probes to destroy the equilibrium and start populating the universe with probes. The ones who say there's no way any civilization can surpass the technological challenge of such a venture fall into the same trap of naivete as the physicists in the late 1800's. They don't realize that the "impossibility" of such advanced technology is just another statistical factor in the Fermi hypothesis Great Filters that would be encountered by civilizations that might send these probes and not a proof of their absence. I would like your opinion on this. Tim airplayn@hotmail.com https://airplayn.wordpress.com/2019/11/04/the-misanthropic-principle

Q: So is the current thinking that dark matter is invisible and intangible to us? It is only gravity it interacts with, correct? So no interaction with light, but does it have tangible mass? Or is it like neutrinos, passing through us. And everything else?

Regarding my interview, did you see my email? I don’t know which days are bookable and which are not, can you let me know please?
