This article was about extraterrestrials existence in universe I'll just share it,Scientific American admits: Extraterrestrials likely to be far more intelligent than humans… and we’re stupid to deny their existence

In case you haven’t noticed, articles about extraterrestrial intelligence have been appearing with increasing frequency across the mainstream media and scientific establishment. It’s no longer “fringe” to talk about intelligent, non-Earth civilizations, and the really forward looking scientific thinkers are finally starting to ask questions about what may await us after disclosure is acknowledged.
Case in point: This March 4, 2019 article in Scientific American asks, “Are we really the smartest kid on the cosmic block?” The subhead warns:
It’s unlikely, and if we keep thinking otherwise, we might be missing some important clues about the existence of extraterrestrial life
The article goes on to argue that continued denialism about the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations is a great disservice to humanity.
One fact is clear: if we assign a zero prior probability for such evidence coming our way, as some scientists did in the case of ‘Oumuamua by invoking the principle “it’s never aliens,” we will indeed never find any. We will be like ostriches burying our heads in the sand.
With an estimated 400 billion stars in our own galaxy alone, it’s insane to think that at least tens of millions of those stars don’t harbor planets with intelligent life. And some of that life must be — by sheer chance alone — millions of years more advanced than our own civilization (which is barely a few thousand years old). It’s not “fringe” to believe that extraterrestrials exist in our galaxy… it’s fringe to think that they don’t.
The history of science is full of denialism and efforts to block the progress of knowledge
.
When “science” becomes delusional, it can no longer be called science at all. And when “science” misses for far bigger picture of what’s really happening across our cosmic landscape — such as the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations that observe our own planet — then science becomes a hindrance to humanity.
