The Man Who Fell to Earth...

In the last class we watched the film "The Man Who Fell to Earth" starring David Bowie, who is an alien who has come to earth in search of water because his planet has run short. While here we discover that he has many patents for new technological advances which could make him a very wealthy man and allow for him to possibly return to the world that he had come from.

This film poses a very interesting question to us all, what if there is life out there beyond what we know, are these beings more advanced than us? We have wondered for a very long time what exactly might exist beyond our reach out in space. So examples are crops fields having mysterious patterns left in them over night, flying saucer sightings, and some people claiming to be abducted in their sleep. Do these beings from other worlds really exist and are they trying to make contact with us or are they just observing until they decide to make a move at a later time? We should keep in mind that in the universe we are just a small minor particle within it and that many things could exist outside the world that we are trapped in. Many people will say that the government is just trying to hide things from us and that they are "weather balloons" that are part of a routine check, but there are just somethings you cannot fake. I think that we all have to keep an open mind about things that could exist around us and not lock ourselves into some kind of self bubble.
