'A NEW MODEL OF THE UNIVERSE' PART 1

There was a time when SCIENCE in England/Britain, America, France,Germany,etc. was an activity for the rich and nobility, that is, controlled by an elite, composed of 'Lords',"Sirs' and the like and was essentially a somewhat leisurely activity, not indulged for the most part by ordinary people or those in the lower strata of society(a sort of caste system that the British found useful in India to complement their efforts to control the place and 'civilize' it while exploiting its wealth and resources and labor market,although these terms were no in vogue at that time as they are now and as they now mean). In the United States, invention, practical and theoretical, became the 'motehr of science, so that the 'backyard'and homegrown/homespun activities and efforts eventually blossomed into the present-day comporations and agencies that dominate and restrict all science(and medicine and offshoot studies)research and study and control financial flows, also funded by government with numerous taxes on the citizenry-the prime example of NASA-an arrogant bunch of sorts inspired originally former Nazi Rocket scientists and technicians,who received their inspiration from homegrown/backyard experiments by ROBERT GODDARD, whose activities today would be most illegal if he or anyone else attempted to do such..... NASA(National Aeronautics Space Agency) has created a vast arrary of acronyms and terms that have entgered the daily vocabulary and vernacular and continue to do so,influencing how people think and perhaps act. 'THE CONQUESTS OF SPACE','A NEW FRONTIER', 'THE LAST FRONTIER', and 'GIANT STEPS FOR MAN" and like expressions both inspire and repel people on earth who cannot leave the planet as yet.....save for a most elite group that has been developed in other countries like Russia and China,etc. who, despite some cooperation,are seen as 'rivals' if not enemies in 'THE RACE FOR SPACE' from which the peoples of the earth can be more easily monitored, controlled or destroyed among other 'advantages' due to such programs and policies..... Nevertheless, people often seem fully convinced that one of the goals of all space exploration and research, along whatever lines used, is to discover other life forms or 'intelligence(s)' as well as solar systems similar to ours and planets similar to earth or possible 'replacements' for such and 'colonization', at one time subjects of much science fiction writing and nowadays the subjects of all kinds of movies, television shows, and the like that condition mankind around the earth to accept such things more readily and, indeed, vast hordes of 'fans' exist in nearly all cultures....etc. All kinds of theories,descriptions, and arguments exist to either prove or disprove this contention that LIFE EXISTS ELSEWHERE IN THE UNIVERSE OUTSIDE OF PLANET EARTH....and those who hold there is such...tend to support the expenditure of human energy and resources(of the planet) in this endeavor, believing it to be not only a scientific quest but a 'humanitarian' one..... This search is somewhat similar to the Medieval Quest for the HOLY GRAIL, whose existence has become a subject of many theories and arguments and descriptions as well and created a large literature, not say novels and movies and 'documentaries' by various groups, ranging from serious scholars to popular novelists.... These 'QUESTS' often tell more about the people embarking on them than about the subject or activity concerned,whether embarking on a quest for the Holy Grail or for 'life in outer space'.........
