If aliens are driven mostly by biological imperatives, humanity could be in big trouble if we ever meet technologically advanced beings.

Key Takeaways
Ethics derived from biological evolution can be harsh — parasitism, invasiveness, and survival at all costs.Ethics derived from human culture is far more benevolent.Would alien ethics be based more on biology or culture? Let's hope the latter.

Key Takeaways
Humans do not respond well to "otherness." We are frightened and divide ourselves into "us" versus "them."We need to overcome this tendency if we are to have a successful encounter with alien beings.One possible solution, should we make contact with an intelligent alien species, would be to use "neutral" robots to facilitate interaction.

Key Takeaways
How would it change us to make contact with an intelligent species from elsewhere in the Universe?For one, it would refocus the human tribe, bringing an accelerated and much needed sense of unity to our species.If intelligent aliens survived for millions of years, what are their secrets? By imagining that they do exist, we can plot our own path for survival.

Key Takeaways
Exoplanets are the hottest topic in astronomy right now. But if we really want to know what is happening on planets many light-years away, we need to image them.According to Einstein’s general theory of relativity, massive objects bend spacetime in such a way that they can act like giant lenses.By the 2060s, we might begin to record images of alien planets, revealing alien river systems, alien mountain ranges, strings of alien islands, alien deserts, alien peninsulas — and perhaps alien cities.

Sleep is vital to how we function. Poor sleep has been linked to a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and dementia. Sleep deprivation affects your mood, makes you less likely to remember things, and makes your immune system less capable of fighting infections. It also affects performance. You are far more accident-prone and have far poorer judgment when you’re sleepy. As the National Institutes for Health observes, “Sleep deficiency has also played a role in human mistakes linked to tragic accidents, such as nuclear reactor meltdowns, grounding of large ships, and plane crashes.”For people in the military, getting good sleep can be a matter of life and death. This is why the U.S. Army practices the “military method” of sleep. Here, we look at what that means, and how we all can learn from it to get a better night’s rest.

Episode 11 – STEPHEN BASSETT - Paradigm Research Group: Alien-UFO Threat to US Nuclear Weapons Press Conference in Washington DC - Captain Robert Salas was on duty in Montana in 1967 when a UFO shut down the nuclear missiles on his base. And he's hardly the only one to make such a claim. Today, Monday, September 27 2010, six former U.S. Air Force officers and one former enlisted man will broke their silence about similar events at the National Press Club, all centering around unidentified flying objects and nuclear missiles. They urge the government to publicly confirm the incidents, stating that they were ordered never to discuss the events. Stephen Bassett will be joining us LIVE from the National Press Club in Washington, DC. - Stephen Bassett is a leading advocate for ending the 63-year government imposed truth embargo regarding an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race.
