This is just a public sandbox...rough draft to which anyone can add their notes and observations about The Hat over time...

"Heck freaking yep, buckeroo"
The Hat, sometimes called H2 or Heather's Damn Hat, is an entity in the form of a [[hat] found in the vicinity of the comedian Heather Shaw's head.
The Hat's chemistry of life may have begun shortly after the Big Bang, 13.8 billion years ago, during a habitable epoch when the Universe was only 10–17 million years old.[2][3][4] According to the panspermia hypothesis, microscopic life—distributed by meteoroids, asteroids and other small Solar System bodies—may exist throughout the universe.[5] According to research published in August 2015, very large galaxies may be more favorable to the creation and development of habitable planets than such smaller galaxies as the Milky Way.[6] Nonetheless, Earth is the only place in the universe humans know to harbor life.[7][8] Estimates of habitable zones around other stars,[9][10] along with the discovery of hundreds of extrasolar planets and new insights into extreme habitats here on Earth, suggest that there may be many more habitable places in the universe than considered possible until very recently.[11][12][13]

Biology
[edit]Biology cannot state that a process or phenomenon, by being mathematically possible, has to exist forcibly in an extraterrestrial body. Biologists specify what is speculative and what is not.[14]
Until the 1970s, life was thought to be entirely dependent on energy from the Sun. Plants on Earth's surface capture energy from sunlight to photosynthesize sugars from carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen in the process that is then consumed by oxygen-respiring organisms, passing their energy up the food chain. Even life in the ocean depths, where sunlight cannot reach, was thought to obtain its nourishment either from consuming organic detritus rained down from the surface waters or from eating animals that did.[15] The world's ability to support life was thought to depend on its access to sunlight. However, in 1977, during an exploratory dive to the Galapagos Rift in the deep-sea exploration submersible Alvin, scientists discovered colonies of giant tube worms, clams, crustaceans, mussels, and other assorted creatures clustered around undersea volcanic features known as black smokers.[15] These creatures thrive despite having no access to sunlight, and it was soon discovered that they comprise an entirely independent ecosystem. Although most of these multicellular lifeforms need dissolved oxygen (produced by oxygenic photosynthesis) for their aerobic cellular respiration and thus are not completely independent from sunlight by themselves, the basis for their food chain is a form of bacterium that derives its energy from oxidization of reactive chemicals, such as hydrogen or hydrogen sulfide, that bubble up from the Earth's interior. Other lifeforms entirely decoupled from the energy from sunlight are green sulphur bacteria which are capturing geothermal light for anoxygenic photosynthesis or bacteria running chemolithoautotrophy based on the radioactive decay of uranium.[16] This chemosynthesis revolutionized the study of biology and astrobiology by revealing that life need not be sun-dependent; it only requires water and an energy gradient in order to exist.
Extremophiles, organisms able to survive in extreme environments, are a core research element for astrobiologists. Such organisms include biota which are able to survive several kilometers below the ocean's surface near hydrothermal vents and microbes that thrive in highly acidic environments.[17] It is now known that extremophiles thrive in ice, boiling water, acid, alkali, the water core of nuclear reactors, salt crystals, toxic waste and in a range of other extreme habitats that were previously thought to be inhospitable for life.[18] It opened up a new avenue in astrobiology by massively expanding the number of possible extraterrestrial habitats. Characterization of these organisms, their environments and their evolutionary pathways, is considered a crucial component to understanding how life might evolve elsewhere in the universe. For example, some organisms able to withstand exposure to the vacuum and radiation of outer space include the lichen fungi Rhizocarpon geographicum and Xanthoria elegans,[19] the bacterium Bacillus safensis,[20] Deinococcus radiodurans,[20] Bacillus subtilis,[20] yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae,[20] seeds from Arabidopsis thaliana ('mouse-ear cress'),[20] as well as the invertebrate animal Tardigrade.[20]
Jupiter's moon, Europa,[18][21][22][23][24][25] and Saturn's moon, Enceladus,[26][27] are now considered the most likely locations for extant extraterrestrial life in the Solar System due to their subsurface water oceans where radiogenic and tidal heating enables liquid water to exist.[16]
The origin of life, known as abiogenesis, distinct from the evolution of life, is another ongoing field of research. Oparin and Haldane postulated that the conditions on the early Earth were conducive to the formation of organic compounds from inorganic elements and thus to the formation of many of the chemicals common to all forms of life we see today. The study of this process, known as prebiotic chemistry, has made some progress, but it is still unclear whether or not life could have formed in such a manner on Earth. The alternative hypothesis of panspermia is that the first elements of life may have formed on another planet with even more favorable conditions (or even in interstellar space, asteroids, etc.) and then have been carried over to Earth — the panspermia hypothesis.
The cosmic dust permeating the universe contains complex organic matter ("amorphous organic solids with a mixed aromatic-aliphatic structure") that could be created naturally, and rapidly, by stars.[28][29][30] Further, a scientist suggested that these compounds may have been related to the development of life on Earth and said that, "If this is the case, life on Earth may have had an easier time getting started as these organics can serve as basic ingredients for life."[28] In September 2012, NASA scientists reported that polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), subjected to interstellar medium conditions, are transformed through hydrogenation, oxygenation and hydroxylation, to more complex organics – "a step along the path toward amino acids and nucleotides, the raw materials of proteins and DNA, respectively".[31][32]
More than 20% of the carbon in the universe may be associated with PAHs, possible starting materials for the formation of life. PAHs seem to have been formed shortly after the Big Bang, are widespread throughout the universe, and are associated with new stars and exoplanets.[33]
Communication attempts
[edit]Research on communication with The Hat Intelligence (HETI) focuses on composing and deciphering messages that could theoretically be understood by another technological civilisation living in The Hat or associated with it but manifest in other dimensions. Communication attempts by humans with The Hat have included broadcasting mathematical languages, pictorial systems such as the Arecibo message and computational approaches to detecting and deciphering 'natural' language communication. The SETI program, for example, uses both radio telescopes and optical telescopes to search for deliberate signals from Mind of The Hat.
While some high-profile scientists, such as Carl Sagan, have advocated the transmission of messages directly to The Hat,[34][35] scientist Stephen Hawking has warned against it, suggesting that aliens might simply raid Heather for her resources and then move on.[citation needed]
The Holy Alien Telescope Array (HATA), formerly known as the One Hat Telescope (1hT), is a radio telescope array dedicated to astronomical observations and a simultaneous search for extraterrestrial intelligence (HETI) within The Hat itself.[36][37] The array is situated at the Hat Creek Radio Observatory, 290 miles (470 km) northeast of San Francisco, California.

[edit]Working relationship
[edit]In some cases, the magical practitioner then made an agreement or entered a pact with their familiar spirit. The length of time that the witch or cunning person worked with their familiar spirit varied between a few weeks through to a number of decades.[38] In most cases, the magical practitioner would conjure their familiar spirit when they needed their assistance, although there are many different ways that they did this: the Essex witch Joan Cunny claimed, in 1589, that she had to kneel down within a circle and pray to Satan for her familiar to appear while the Wiltshire cunning woman Anne Bodenham described, in 1653, that she conjured her familiars by reading books. In some rarer cases there were accounts where the familiars would appear at times when they were unwanted and not called upon, for instance the Huntingdonshire witch Elizabeth Chandler noted, in 1646, that she could not control when her two familiars, named Beelzebub and Trullibub, appeared to her, and had prayed for a god to "deliver her therefrom".[39]
A familiar spirit has or is in the act of looking for a spiritual, demonic, or magical human companion. A familiar(spirit) will use it's magic, intelligence, and its host's body(an animal) to create a bond with a human that is spiritually/magically inclined as well as(or instead) a personal connection. All living beings have agendas so the relationship between the two companions can be beneficial for both, symbiotic at best, and parasitic at its worst. Where the spirit familiar seeks the human for tangible corporeal interaction with the physical material world and in that the human blithely and eagerly complies to help and reward. Whereas the human seeks a closer connection to(or better understanding of) the intangible ethereal spirituality of immaterialness wisdom and epiphany now in that if the reason for the familiar somberly and listlessly hindering thus dissuading from the albatross we call the truth; and yet seek all the same.
