So life, if anything, was opportunistic, working with the materials that it was given in the early Earth.<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;So, anyone who&#8217;s studied the problem is ready for the universe to be teeming with life.&#8221;<BR><br \/>\nThe famed astrophysicist, author and podcast host admitted he remains doubtful that governments are hiding living aliens or extraterrestrial bodies.<BR><br \/>\nBut he insisted society is fully prepared for the bombshell discovery of life beyond Earth.<BR><br \/>\nTyson said: &#8220;Of course, we&#8217;re ready, because movies have been prepping us ever since War of the Worlds.<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;We&#8217;ve already been told the government has them in the back shed; they just haven&#8217;t brought them out yet. So, society didn&#8217;t collapse in the face of that knowledge.&#8221;<BR><br \/>\nTyson believes science and mathematics would become humanity\u2019s first line of communication with intelligent alien visitors.<BR><br \/>\nHe explained: &#8220;Science and math would be universal languages.<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;They would need to know science and math to get here. They don&#8217;t know English, they don&#8217;t know Latin, they don&#8217;t know any of our languages, they don&#8217;t know our culture, but they&#8217;ll know science.&#8221;<BR><br \/>\nStill, Tyson poured cold water on claims that extraterrestrials have already landed on Earth.<BR><br \/>\nHe said: &#8220;I think a first encounter would not necessarily be with a military pilot.<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;It could just be anybody who&#8217;s got one of these recording devices.&#8221;<BR><br \/>\nAnd he joked that there is one group who absolutely should not greet alien visitors first.<BR><br \/>\nTyson quipped: &#8220;I&#8217;d be scared if the first person the alien found was a flat earther.<BR><br \/>\n&#8220;The alien would just run home to their home planet and report that there&#8217;s no sign of intelligent life on Earth.&#8221;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Visit Bang Bizarre (main website) <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><script src=\"https:\/\/geo.dailymotion.com\/player\/xtbac.js\" data-video=\"\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2026-05-18 14:33:30 One of America\u2019s best-known scientists says there is &#8220;no doubt&#8221; alien life exists somewhere in the universe as fresh UFO disclosure files continue to emerge from the Pentagon.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2127,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4517","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bizarre"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4517","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4517"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4517\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4518,"href":"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4517\/revisions\/4518"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2127"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4517"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4517"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bangbizarre.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4517"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
