Former NASA scientist reveals�how�he�believes�aliens could be�hiding on�Earth
A former NASA scientist has argued that if aliens were already among us, then they would probably be somewhere deep in the ocean.�
With space so vast, its hard to assume that we are the only sentient, intelligent beings in existence. While the extraterrestrials are yet to reveal themselves, that doesnt mean they arent out there. But one researcher has suggested that they could already be here, only hiding in a place still untouched and unseen by human eyes.�
The ocean is mostly unexplored
Kevin Knuth worked at NASAs Ames Research Center from 2001 to 2005. Besides his work in the fields of information physics, quantum mechanics, and Bayesian analysis, Kevin is also a researcher of UFOs and other intergalactic topics.
While appearing on the Theories of Everything podcast, Kevin suggested that we shouldnt be looking to the stars for alien life. Instead, he said that if aliens were already here, logic points to the oceans.�
75% of the Earth’s surface is water and we really have very little access to it. So, if you are going to hide out somewhere, that’s perfect, he said. As reported in National Geographic, only 5% of the worlds oceans have been explored. Thats a pretty big area to hide some little green men!
The ocean is just right for aliens
Of course, we dont know how aliens live, where they live or what they need to survive on the surface of our planet. But, there are a few factors to consider, Kevin said.
He explained: If you come from an aquatic environment, aquatic environments on planets are going to be much better to live in than atmospheric environments.�
Atmospheres have a low heat capacity, so the temperature varies a lot &you get huge temperature variations.
And then going from planet to planet, you have huge temperature variations in the atmosphere: go to Mars, and you’re looking at 100 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. You go to Venus, and you’re looking at 800 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s dramatic. And the air pressure is dramatically different, too, from planet to planet.
Temperature is a massive factor
He continued to explain that living on land means you either have to combat the natural effects of the climate or evolve to a point where you can survive them naturally. But, if you live in an ocean made of water, then its going to be a set temperature range no matter what planet you are on.�
If it’s a water ocean, then a water ocean on another planet is going to be between the temperatures of 32 degrees Fahrenheit and 212 degrees Fahrenheit. So, the temperatures aren’t going to change dramatically from ocean to ocean, going from one planet to another, he said.
The same can also be said for pressure, which should be fairly consistent from planet to planet.
