    About this ebook

    Advanced alien civilizations are now present in our galaxy. That's the message that the author sends out to readers in this interesting little book. The reasons why there has to be life elsewhere in the universe are explained, in fairly non technical words, so that most any reader can understand. After explaining why life has to be out there, the book then goes on to explain why some of that life has to be intelligent, and advanced to levels above and beyond where humans on Earth are now. The book also explains why we are presently unaware of those aliens and their civilizations.
    It's a little book, at a little price, but it's packed with some big ideas.
    For the reader who would like an answer to one of the biggest questions ever asked by humans... Where are all those aliens?
    They are "out there"... and the answers are in here.

      FOREWARD

      FOR THOSE WHO MAY HAVE COME IN LATE . . . . .

      Does life, as we know it, really exist on other planets?

      Well, you just better believe it, Eyenstyne! IT's out there...

      Somewhat more relevant questions would be, just where is IT, out there? Why haven't we found IT, yet? Or why hasn't IT found us?

      Now... why are those last three questions more relevant than that first one, up at the top?

      And the answer is... dot - dot - dot...

      Because the first question, up at the top, is a NO-BRAINER! That's why.

      This book is going to explain why there is life on other planets. But for those of you who are in a hurry, here it is in a nutshell. Only two things have ever happened just once in the known universe... The Big Bang. And You.

      Everything else... from atoms to galaxies and all in between, have happened more than once. So if life has happened here on this planet, it has happened on other planets. It's as simple as that. It's not magic. It's not hocus pocus, or astrology. It's mathematics.

      For those of you who are not in a hurry, the book will go into more detail about all this.

      And by the way... Lately, even the Big Bang is now being considered as possibly a more than once event. Theories are being put forth that propose that Our Big Bang may in fact be just another one of many, that are happening all the time, in what now is being called a multiverse. And that implies that somewhere out there, there may even be another You! So you, too, may have happened more than once!

      But let's stay focused here. This book is going to deal with the concept of life elsewhere in the universe, and is going to examine more closely those three questions posed up above, and propose answers for them. Where is IT? Why haven't we found IT, yet? And/or, why hasn't IT found us?

      So hang on to your hat... and perhaps even your head... and read on...

      ABOUT THE FRONT COVER IMAGE

      THE ARRIVAL ! - A fleet of ships of a far ranging Alien Civilization arrives in the planetary system of a star 92 light years from the alien's home star. The trip has taken them a few dozen years. To insure against all contingencies, the Aliens have made the journey in a small fleet of ships, rather than just one. And some of the huge interstellar crafts are the equivalent of our aircraft carriers, though of course they are immensely larger... They carry many smaller ships that are now being deployed to explore the planets of this new star system. We could park a hundred of our largest aircraft carriers on the deck of the ship in the distance, and still have room left over!

      The planet below them now looks promising both as a possible abode for new life, and as a new colony site for the Aliens. They will soon begin sending details of their status and their findings back to their home world, now 92 light years behind them. Normal radio signals, as we know them, would take 92 years to arrive back at the home world. But the Aliens are using a communications technology that humans have yet to discover, based on principles associated with quantum entanglement... their signals will cover the distance almost instantly...

      This appears to be a part of the galaxy far removed from where the Earth is located, as evidenced by the neighboring spiral galaxy that is prominent in the sky above this planet... Also, the local stars are not aligned in any of the familiar patterns as seen from Earth. It may be somewhere on the other side of the Milky Way from us... an area that we can not see from here, because our view of that area is blocked by intervening gas and dust clouds within the Milky Way...

      CHAPTER 1

      THE DAY THE UNIVERSE EXPLODED!

      Well, o.k., so it wasn't exactly a day. It was more like down around a millionth of a second... even less.

      And at that time, the universe... our universe... didn't look anything like it does now. It was mostly a ball of energy to begin with. But, via processes still not completely clear to us today, that early universe. little by little, changed itself into what we do have today.

      In the very early universe, it was very dark. In fact, it was probably about as dark as you can ever get. Here's why.

      We see things because of light. Light waves carry the likeness, or image, of objects across distances in space and time. They can carry those images from an object to you, and thus allow you to see the object.

      Light is composed of photons. Photons can behave as both particles and waves. The distinction between the two is, basically, a particle exists in just one place, where-as a wave can be spread out over a large area, and even a volume, of space. In any case, light can travel as either a particle or a wave, depending on conditions and circumstances that we won't go into here.

      In the early universe, all the matter was packed so close together that there was hardly any empty space at all between matter particles. So there was no empty space in any great amount for photons to travel across. Indeed, at first there weren't even any free photons around to travel through empty space. Most all of the photons were confined inside the electrons that made up the hydrogen atoms. So with no photons free to roam, and no one around with a flashlight (I know, it's hard to believe... but flashlights weren't invented yet...), there was essentially no source of light. It was lights out in the early universe.

      But as time passed, two things happened. The universe expanded enough to create plenty of empty open space between all the matter particles. And the first stars came into existence.

      Before that time, there was not much else in the early universe to act
