Uhhh...No!

I included the artist's rendition from SPACE.com.

I'm just as thrilled as the next physics guy of the possibility of alien life (and to find out conclusively if Einstein or Sagan was one of us...or one of them).

A lot of my commentary is tongue-in-cheek to make physics accessible to the masses.

However, out of respect for science in general and physics in particular, I hope I've been responsible and given credit where its due & I proceed in future postings not as a "rumor-monger," but a source of genuine information:

The announcement of a NASA press conference slated for tomorrow (Dec. 2) has set the Internet abuzz with rumors that scientists have discovered extraterrestrial life.
