46 approximating to it". (5) House points to various examples of evolutionary convergence such as gross similarities between swimming reptiles, mammals and fish, and the fact that "sabre-tooth tigers of the Tertiary, of South Africa were marsupial mammals, whilst the present-day tigers are placental mammals". In other words, where there is an ecological niche it will eventually be filled, by the processes of evolution, with the appropriate animal or plant. Because of the natural constraints imposed by the laws of physics and chemistry, ecological niches on other planets must bear some resemblance to those with which we are familiar on Earth . . . Harney continues with speculation that extraterrestrial intelligences would also tend to similarities in aspects of social organization and behaviour, concluding that "they would undoubtedly have to face and and find answers to similar problems to ours - technical, economic, political and philosophical". 1.

It has little to do with the reality of whether any potential ET craft has ever visited this planet. For that we are inevitably brought back to the investigation of individual cases, which really is where we came in, with the ten or fifty, (or even one) best cases. Magonia online http://www.magonia.demon.co.uk by Branton Although scientific discoveries have proven that there is one overall 'reality' consisting of the full electromagnetic spectrum, there are many suggestions that there are 'facets' of this immense electromagnetic reality which are as yet unknown to us and which are erroneously referred to as 'other' dimensions. This is not necessarily the case, as there is evidence that what some see as other dimensions are actually various different facets of the ONE multi- faceted superdimension we call 'reality'. For instance, it is theoretically possible that another ‘world’ may exist on the other 'side' of the electromagnetic reality in which we live, an anti- matter world or realm or possibly a world invisible to us yet no less 'solid' existing on the opposite or reverse electromagnetic ‘polarity’ from our own. Scientists have mathematically proven that anti-matter does exist. Many writers have theorized about the existence of an ‘alternate’ world where the flow of time might be different from that as we know it. One such a nar + om 1 1 aod wed sate 1 author was C. S. Lewis. There have been many accounts however which suggest that people have vanished into or appeared from such a region. Based on the suppositions, both fictional and para-scientific, the one electromagnetic reality might consist of three major facets. 1) The world of the 'Living' in which we find ourselves, 2) the world of the 'Dead' or the spirit realm as it in known among many religions and which may consist of electromagnetic energy itself, 3) and possibly although uncertainly a 'para-physical' realm invisible to us though no less solid, which might exist in an opposite polarity of the electromagnetic reality-spectrum in which we find ourselves, and which may be inhabited by entities who have somehow found 5.
