Review my startup idea – Omegle-like site for discussing STEM


Mysteries of Space have always fascinated me - UFOs & Aliens being the biggest of them all. Are we alone in this universe? Is there any other civilization out there? How do they look? Do they also have governments? Why they have never revealed themselves to us?

Questions like these always occupy my mind & I love watching videos and listening to podcasts on this topic. I'd love to chat with random people who are curious & would love to learn more about their views.

A website like Omegle would be a perfect fit for this but sadly Omegle is not built for such stuff. So I thought why not make such a site where curious strangers could connect & discuss anything STEM.

What do you think?

Probably not, but nobody is sure.

> Is there any other civilization out there?

Probably yes, but nobody is sure.

> How do they look?

That's difficult. I'll skip it.

> Do they also have governments?

I guess yes. When you have a lot of entities you need some organization. Let's call it government.

> Why they have never revealed themselves to us?

Nobody is sure, but the current guess based in STEM is that bacteria-like life is very common. Nobody is sure, but perhaps there is another bacteria-like fife in the Solar system that evolved independently. It's far from sure, but it looks possible.

From bacteria-like to human-like there are a few important and difficult steps. Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_life Photosynthesis? Mitochondria/Eukaryotes-like?, Multicelular?[1], Advanced animals-like[2]? Intelligence? No one is even sure about which are the difficult steps.

So the current guess is that other civilizations are very far away. Communication is difficult and traveling here in a UFO is almost impossible.
