The fact that you jump to a conclusion that we are "apes" is just silly. You clearly do not understand of how true that might not be. We are either on equal grounds with other planets, ahead or they are way ahead of us. To say that we are apes is short sighted and all around stupid.
You know this is a lot better. I know the articles you speak of and I decided not to hold them absolute.
Simply said, we tend to look for things we want to find. Hardly ever do we look for something we have no understanding of or its existence.
I call us apes because I nor our whole race can for definite say we are the most superior creature in the universe, the ones that do are arrogant fools and should go back to worshiping god. Religion has a lot less books and a lot more people confirming we are the "chosen ones" of the "ultimate one".
We are bound and governed by many natural laws and physical properties we currently can not look beyond. If you think about Gravitational time dilation it would mean, that in theory, the further we move away from gravity and gravitational pull the slower time goes. We are unable to test the biological effects of this to its full extend... Would this mean that time halts and freezes all when there is no gravity, does this mean we stop ageing or would this mean leaping through expansive amounts of space.
The bottom line is there is a huge limit to what we can actually test and make actual fact, so instead we look for what we can understand and confirm and miss out on the portion we don't care about or are aware of.
