"Are We Alone In the Universe?" essay by Sir Winston Churchill has been uncovered showing how a Battlefield Earth could be real.
Los Angeles, United States - February 16, 2017 /PressCable/ —
The year was 1939, just before the outset of WWII, when Sir Winston Churchill penned an 11-page essay titled, “Are We Alone in the Universe?” Churchill updated the essay in the 1950s and it has remained “undiscovered” in the US National Churchill Museum archives until just recently. While Churchill is known for his writings, why this particular piece on alien life went so long un-released is a mystery. “War of the Worlds” by H. G. Wells written in 1898, “Ender’s Game” by Orson Scott Card written in 1985 and “Battlefield Earth” written by L. Ron Hubbard in 1982 are popular alien invasion books depicting what could happen if there was an alien invasion on Earth. While there have been speculation about the fiction books, what of the non-fiction articles such as that of Sir Winston Churchill?
Churchill pulls no punches in his essay stating, “I, for one, am not so immensely impressed by the success we are making of our civilization here that I am prepared to think we are the only spot in this immense universe which contains living, thinking creatures, or that we are the highest type of mental and physical development which has ever appeared in the vast compass of space and time.”
He goes on to say, “The sun is merely one star in our galaxy, which contains several thousand millions of others” and “I am not sufficiently conceited to think that my sun is the only one with a family of planets.”
Scientists have since made many more discoveries on the vastness of the universes and the plausibility of Churchill’s statements are becoming more of a reality than ever. Science fiction authors alike are pouring out alien invasion stories.
Churchill’s essay concludes with this, “With hundreds of thousands of nebulae, each containing thousands of millions of Suns, the odds are enormous that there must be immense numbers which possess planets whose circumstances would not render life impossible.”
Some authors also proclaim in their “fiction” stories, circumstances would not render life impossible. As in the scenario in L. Ron Hubbard’s “Battlefield Earth” where aliens come to Earth, wipe out mankind so they can mine the planet’s resources–namely gold. The book was actually re-released to a welcoming crowd in 2016 putting the book and audiobook on top of bestseller lists.
