Our egocentric Formula of Existence does not consider the rational probability that long before the Earth came into being large star-systems had already been in contact with one another, perhaps even linked together in a great federation of worlds. If so, and their "window in time" is a very long one, this federation could still exist, and probably knows all about us. Anything is possible. The Life sciences need less dogmatism and much more imagination.

Just as we can only guess at the exact age of the universe, we also cannot discount the possibility that powerful superintelligences far out in space are able to control their environment, their heredity—and therefore their destiny perhaps that of other species as well. Man exercises a great influence over the flora and fauna of his own planet—and expects to bring other worlds under his dominion in the same manner. This could be a great mistake; we haven't learned to control the by-products of our rapid world-wide technological breakthrough. The Formula of Existence might well include a new equation showing how many civilizations reaching up the scale of technological supremacy had strangled to death in its own waste-products.

Although it is futile to dwell on negative aspects, great benefits will be gained from a careful examination of the "unfriendly argument" against the Equation of Existence as it now stands.

In the past half century it has seemed astounding that man might not be the only intelligent Life form in the universe. Now we have found another one—right here on Earth. The dolphin. Today it seems incredible to deny that great civilizations are spread all over the universe. Some may actually await man's feeble efforts to break the bonds of gravity and overcome the myriad problems in his attempts to contact Otherworld Intelligence, regardless of form. In fact, some Intelligence could well be formless. Walter Sullivan, the N.Y. Times' science editor, in his book, "We Are Not Alone," reported the opinion in some scientific quarters that we may have to deal with invisible clouds of "pure intelligence" somewhere among the stars.

Russian scientists, as well as American, Japanese, German and British have learned through radio astronomy that supercivilizations are signalling on every conceivable band of the electro-magnetic spectrum, possibly on some we haven't yet discovered.

From the depths of interstellar space beacons of incredible power artificial radio emissions are bombarding us with a series of messages no one has yet been able to decipher. The fact we can detect them puts us in the early advanced stage; the fact that we cannot decipher them relegates us to a relatively backward point in evolution. The species Homo sapiens is analogous to one of its most regressive tribes, the aborigines of New Guinea, who are oblivious to the myriad radio and television signals flashing through their land en route to electronic pickup stations on the other side of the world.

Can it be possible that these signals are the controlling force for interstellar or intergalactic exploration parties? Is it even conceivable that the so-called "flying saucers" are mere remote (oh, how remote!) control devices?

It is simply astounding that one series of coded signals from far off in the Galaxy are being transmitted in all directions at once on a scale equivalent to millions of megacycles. To our way of thinking, this is almost beyond belief because it is more radio power than our own titanic, blazing Sun is capable of emitting—even if it were multiplied scores of times!

These regularly-spaced, artificial emissions have been discovered in the direction of Aries and Pegasus by the majority of the world's radio astronomers. They may have originated from far beyond these mighty constellations of star systems, possibly from a fantastic galaxy millions of light years away.

At the very least, these supercivilizations, encompassing entire solar systems like our own, are emanating "news" that they exist! Image it! Whole constellations of stars star systems—radiating the most wonderful message in mankind's recorded history. The logical implication is that supremely evolved Intelligence of some kind is able to flash messages across the void of space in the same way human electricians are capable of synchronizing bulbs to blaze a message to the throngs in Times Square.

Simply learning what that message is all about must be worth every conceivable expense and effort mankind is able to muster. The sheer volume of energy required to transmit that message is almost incomprehensible to the terrestrial mind—electromagnetic energy equivalent to controling thousands of stars to flare on signal!

According to the most advanced rules of physics everything we see and know is composed of light waves—electromagnetic energy "frozen" into what we consider solid matter. This matter originally evolved from the condensing clouds of ionized gases in the area surrounding the prototype solar system's gravity field. The atoms of this matter, according to the Steady State theory of creation once held by England's Dr. Fred Hoyle, were "created from nothing" by a force or power whose nature scientists have not even faintly understood.

Man, the still-evolving product of this creative process, considers himself the highest product of evolution-capable of pure reason, free will, and control of his destiny. So far, he has never explained or understood how it was possible for his microscopic antediluvian ancestors to separate themselves from the millions of diverging Life forms in prehistoric seas and "will" themselves into ecological mastery of the planet.

Man, just as every other Life form in the created universe, does not act so much as he is acted upon. The staggering concept of Creation itself remains the real mystery. We can fully expect to meet almost every variety of intelligent Life that our science fiction writers have imagined since the time of Kepler, Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. It is a virtual certainty that this inconceivably vast universe was created not for us alone.

Is the Universe and all Life an accidental perpetual-motion "machine"—even to its sub-atomic particles? If so, how is it that immutable laws govern every phase of existence? Can it be that the Universe is purposefully, intelligently, perhaps benevolently conceived and directed?

The answers to such questions might finally resolve the mystery of a new question currently plaguing some of the top scientists of our space program:

"Is there intelligent Life on Earth?"
