Times Colonist posted a new interview with Star Trek star William Shatner and here are few excerpts.
"There is no doubt that there is life out there; the mathematics of it lead you to that absolute conclusion," Shatner says in a recent phone interview to promote his new series, William Shatner's Weird or What? "In my mind, there is no doubt that the universe teems -- teems! -- with life in all its forms. But why they would come visit here and not let themselves be known to everybody is beyond my sense of logic.
"Why would you fly the years or millenniums [it would take] to [get here]?Why wouldn't they just land and say, 'Here we are, we're tired, got any ice cream?'"
Each week, the show will look at three cases per episode and try to offer a scientific or logical explanation for said "weird" events -- often by conducting experiments and interviewing various experts. Shatner says the program tries to "explain the unexplainable."
Personally, Shatner doesn't see any limits to what the show can explore. To him, everything about life itself is weird.
"Everything that takes place is weird, whether it's a social transaction or physical event -- anything that we perceive is, in its final analysis, weird, because there are ramifications that we don't even know," he explains, his trademark staccato cadence making the subject matter sound even more, well, weird. "The possibilities that are suggested in quantum physics tell us that everything we are looking at may not in fact be there . . . so that the underlying nature of 'being' is weird ... ."
Shatner says ongoing scientific discoveries help fuel his own sense of wonder at the world. "The more science delves into the minuscule, the more we realize how extraordinary everything is."
