The books in the Are there\noutsiders? New space space-based\ntelescopes<\/a> including the Webb <\/a>are showing us that there are numerous other worlds in\nstar systems all around us. Scientists can interpolate this data to come\nup with some idea of the number of other worlds that may be capable of\nsupporting the kinds of life that exist here.\u00a0\nCurrent estimates lead to a number of about 2 septillion.\u00a0 (That is 2 with 21 zeros after it).\u00a0 The books in the New Perspective Series look at key aspects\nof human existence from the perspective of outsiders. If there are other\nworlds with the same kind of life we have here on Earth (life that evolves; see\ntext box above<\/a>),\nwe would not expect the beings on these other worlds to make exactly the same decisions\nthat we made here on Earth. <\/p>\n We have a very long history, as Fact\nBased History<\/a> <\/i>shows. \u00a0\u00a0(The\nevidence exists that show the length, but the people who claim to be historians\ndon\u2019t really want to accept it because it shows that just about everything people\nhave believed about history in the past\u2014including the foundational information\nthey were taught in school\u2014is wrong.\u00a0 They\nare the experts and can decide which evidence to ignore, so they ignore almost\nall real evidence about past events.\u00a0 Fact Based History<\/a><\/i> goes over this evidence\nand shows it paints an entirely different picture of our past than conventional\nhistorians paint for us.)\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n Events that took place millions of years ago have impacts on\nthe way our societies operate today. <\/p>\n We would not expect the exact same events <\/i>to have\ntaken place exactly the same way on other inhabited worlds. They would\nhave been through a different history and would look at existence from a different\nperspective. The New Perspective Series is designed to look at key\naspects of the realities of life for us here on Earth as would outsiders. \nSpecifically, it looks at these events from the perspective of objective\nscientists from a remote world. <\/p>\n They have access to certain information about how Earth\nworks, the same basic information you and I have. <\/p>\n Radio waves\ntravel at the speed of light which, as far as we know, is a fixed speed that is\nthe same for all electromagnetic waves, including light waves. Every\nsignal from your smart phone, every question you ask the search engines and\nevery response you get, all signals from your WiFi, all signals from the\nrouters of every person on Earth, all satellite signals from both civilian and\nmilitary transit goes, at some stage, through radio. These signals all\nspread out in all directions from Earth at a fixed speed This image of Earth straddling the limb of the Moon was captured by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera on October 12, 2015<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n The New Perspective Series is an attempt to look at\nimportant realities of existence here on Earth from this other\nperspective. How would they see us? What would they think of the things\nwe consider important? <\/p>\n The book Possible\nSocieties<\/a><\/i> is about the different arrangements of existence, or\nsocieties, that are possible for beings that have evolved to a level of\nintellect comparable to modern humans. We may expect that evolving beings\non other worlds faced entirely different realities than we did here on\nEarth. We would expect that they would evolve differently in response to\nthese different realities. What are the options? Possible\nSocieties<\/a><\/i> deals with them from the perspective of beings that in a more\ndensely populated part of the universe than we are here and who therefore have\ndata about a great many worlds with life forms that have more or less the same\ngeneral capabilities of Earth humans. It shows that such beings can\norganize themselves in many ways. Some are highly destructive and\ndangerous. But others work in ways that allow the beings to live in\nharmony with each other and the world around them. <\/p>\n The book Preventing\nExtinction<\/a><\/i> looks a key aspect of human existence from the outside\nperspective. We, the members of the human race, are currently facing\nexistential threats. It is pretty easy to simply give up and live as if\nthese threats don\u2019t exist, because we don\u2019t have a frame of reference that\nwould help us see there is any other option. <\/p>\n Preventing\nExtinction<\/a><\/i> on the principles of Fact\nBased History<\/a><\/i>, Preventing\nExtinction<\/a><\/i>, and the other books to explore the steps that the beings who\nlive on a world that has taken the path through time that we have taken on this\nworld would need to take to move them off of this path and onto a different path.\u00a0 The book Possible Societies<\/a><\/i> explains\na type of society called \u2018socratic societies\u2019 that are very similar to current\nearth societies, but which work in ways that turn what would otherwise be a\ncollection of billions of individual humans, all acting independently to\nadvance their own interests, to work together to advance their common\ninterests.\u00a0 Preventing Extinction<\/a><\/i> explains\nthe steps a group of people who are in the situation we are on here on could\ntake to turn their segmented, fragmented, and conflict-based world into one that\nis under the control of the beings themselves, who have tools they can use to\nact collectively to meet their common needs.\u00a0\nIt shows that the problems that threaten the human race can\u2019t be solved if\nthey are structured as they are now, and the human race has no tools to allow\nits members to work together.\u00a0 However,\nif we create these tools, we are in a position to take steps to change the path\nthrough time on which we are now traveling.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n The New Perspective Series is not <\/i>about a random set\nof observations that an outsider would make about earth realities.\u00a0 It is intended to provide practical <\/i>information. \nFact Based History<\/a><\/i> shows\nvery clearly that humans are not <\/i>fully evolved and totally rational\nbeings at this point in time. We are still very primitive in many\nways. We want to believe <\/i>that we are far more capable than we\nactually are. This arrogance prevents us from seeing defects in our\ngenetic and cultural structures that must be removed if we are to survive as a\nrace.\u00a0 <\/p>\n The New Perspective Series is designed to open mental doors\nthat, I hope, will allow people to see that there really is hope for our\nrace.\u00a0 <\/p>\n This is important.\u00a0\nFrom the perspective of insiders, the problems we face don\u2019t appear to have\nany solutions.\u00a0 We feel we can\u2019t solve\nthem.\u00a0 If we feel there is nothing we\ncan do, we won\u2019t even try to do anything.\u00a0\nI do not claim that we are certain to succeed, even if we try our\nhardest.\u00a0 I do claim, however, that if\nwe don\u2019t try, we have no chance at all.\u00a0\nThe New\nPerspective Series<\/a><\/i> is designed to help people see that it is worth\nexploring these issues.\u00a0 It is worth\ntrying.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New Perspective Series The New Perspective Series look at key realities of the world from a non-conventional perspective.\u00a0 For pretty much all of history, humans have looked at realities of this little blue world as if it is the center of the universe, the only world in existence, the only world that could […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":164,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5805","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/factbasedhistory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5805"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/factbasedhistory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/factbasedhistory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/factbasedhistory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/164"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/factbasedhistory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5805"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/factbasedhistory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5805\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5834,"href":"https:\/\/factbasedhistory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5805\/revisions\/5834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/factbasedhistory.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5805"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 By counting galaxies in a few\nseconds of arc in space that have no nearby stars to interfere, and multiplying\nby the total arc seconds in a sphere, scientists have determined there are\nabout 2 trillion galaxies.\u00a0 They have\nabout 100 billion star systems each and the number of worlds per star system averages\n1, so there are about 200 septillion worlds in the part of the universe we can\nsee from this part of the galaxy.\u00a0 If 1%\nof these worlds is in the \u2018Goldilocks\nzone\u2019 <\/a>there are about 2 septillion such worlds.
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 If we look closely at Earth\nbased life forms (something done in another book in the New Perspective Series,\nThe\nMeaning of Life<\/a>) we can see that it came to exist here under conditions\nthat are, well, far from optimal.\u00a0 The\nfirst life forms were actually fantastically complex; they are built on the\nexact same genetic\ncode <\/a>as humans.\u00a0 We know that they\ncame to exist on Earth before <\/i>the Earth had cooled enough to have a\nsolid rock surface or was even close to being cool enough to support liquid\nwater (a requirement to be in the Goldilocks Zone).\u00a0 If we accept this evidence, we must conclude that whatever forces\nled to life existing on Earth can take place and are highly likely to have\ntaken place on many other worlds.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
\n We live in a very remote\npart of the galaxy. It is very unlikely there are other beings with radio\ntechnology in his remoteness. However, about 20,000 light years away is a\npart of the galaxy with billions of worlds that are very close together. \nThe radio waves our devices emit in 2025 will reach these worlds in the year\n22,025 AD by our calendar. If they have the right technology, they can\nreceive and decode these messages. If they wanted, they could recreate\nour internet on their world. They wouldn\u2019t be able to communicate with\nour internet, of course, but they could ask it questions and get the same answers\nwe get here on Earth today. <\/p>\n![\"This](\"https:\/\/fbhd.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com\/1\/earthrise+.jpg\")
