Great thread. A lot of disinformation abounds in these speculative regions. Life exists everywhere in some point of gestation. Have experienced moments of Valis like grandeur. Life and consciousness exist elsewhere-hard to access though.
 
Life comes from the Sun, right?
The Sun is a star, right?
There's like a billion stars, right?

It seems almost impossible for there NOT to be some form of life on some other planet, in some other galaxy.

You pretty much summed up my thoughts on the question.

I never really speculated beyond this viewpoint tho.
 
what? it does have theoredical relevance. Although people have their own beliefs. My beliefs are, we don't have a cure or solution because we haven't chose to. Not to come off as a pee body. Still, there has to be some truth in the universe and why things happens.

Still, there has to be some truth in the universe and why things happen. IS there a reaoosn why to call it a myth? llok at the structure of how the universe is built. Sure history of the universe is less known about then it is today. That is not a reason to say all truth is evident. You can talk forever about things that could be diffeerent and how tehy cuold be. Instead of what we have in fornt of us. This Giant World, and this Universal experience. People ask questions to get where they get wheren they are going. This whole subject is bar none. The truth stays the same, every one in a while there will be more evidence. Since it takes a while to travel from planet to planet. We don't consider the thought that we wait until it comes to us. because that would be unlawful since we like to explore. When you talk about exploration you talk about an variety of things. I would go out of this worlds atmohsphere and that is all. Don't have to land on anything. People have spend years in outter space. To name a few. I don't have a clue. Its always interesting to find more ways into the science. Everything doesnt evovle around one person particular ideas. That is why they have solar galaxies, Because galaxies were made in transition. We just fell in line down the universe. To understand about it, you have to know a lot more then is being talked about. For instance, The earth was made to rotate around the sun. It shouldn't be hang around the moon. Right? because what it is, is what it is, when it comes to Science. There is not an alternate route.
 
I have recently finished watching a series in the UK on C4 called "Catastrophe" which deals with how our planet was formed and life started thereon.

Given what a planet such as ours has to go through to be able to sustain sentient life forms as we know it, there is little wonder that the chances of life anywhere else are remote in the extreme. This planet has had to survive, in the last 4 1/2 billion years, a collision with another planet, being frozen in a ball of ice then becoming a planet of fire before life started to get bigger than microbes. Then came the extinction events (Asteroid impacts, supervolcanoes etc) and the glacial events (we are currently in between two ice ages) that wiped out the dominant species at the time. Finally our orbit has to be just the right distance around just the right type of star to supply the light and heat required to sustain life.

No wonder we haven't heard anything back from Vger!! Live long and prosper.
 
Either 1) Scientists lied because FBI forced them to.....

or

2) They were not actual "alien" species.


Ther is a reason behind all of this, rather it was scientist or the FBI. Once the truth is finally figured out, and someone can say this is how the brain works definately, and this is how you can get furthur in outter space without the cause of deperation, then truth will be restore to the youth that it should of always been. When they say, Jesus will return and save our souls. Either there is something that ties to that, or everything is a fairy tale as some people don't believe in God. I'm not a person that has to do things to cover up some things. Or to approach a situation with my back to the wind. Basically, let people be who they are. They may not let you be who you are. Not everyone is as intellegent as others. They should stop making an attemp. Even tho there have probably been scientist with the same beliefs in the past that have been murdered for talking insane. The Truth will rise again.
 
Heck, there many be alien lifeforms within our solar system. You can find organisms in the most inhospitable places on earth, that means life can pretty much exist anywhere.

It took billions of years for humans to show up on Earth. Maybe we just need to wait around for other planets to start catching up.
Actually it's not quite that easy. Not all stars give off the same type of light. Our sun happens to have the 7 colors in the spectrum but other stars only give off a specificic color. Secondly, there are other factors that lead to life besides having a star with the right kind of light. For instance, gravity. If a planet has a gravity that is too small or too strong, life won't thrive or evolve to anything beyond the microscopic.
That being said, I think you are right, the probabilities that life exists elsewhere are worthy of consideration. Personally, however, i think we as a race might never come across them. First, they might be too microscopic. Two, even if they are not they might be completely different from what we hope to see in them and miss them altogether. (Have you seen Solaris? The alien was a giant liquid-type ocean). And finally, assuming for the sake of argument that the universe has a center and is, thus, finite, the distance it would take to travel from where they live to where we live is so great that one species/civilization would rise, thrive, and fall before we would ever meet. Anywho, that's my two cents. Great thread guys.

After all, what are we looking for. We know what there is to be looked at. To assume would be to much to talk about. I would rather see for myself. If the government is hiding something. Could there possibility be aliens, vampires, werewolvs, zombies. A planet of each species. Or is there really such thing as time. If we were to travel to another galaxy would it just be us at a later time, or at a previous time. Deja vu? maybe, if not, it could be the same species of humans wondernig about us. Some things are and some are not, but we don't have to travel there to make assumptions about it. The universe is three dememtional not two faced.
 
I'm of the opinion we should worry more about finding more intelligent life on this planet before we go looking up to the stars.

Or not...whatever.

We are in 1 solar system within 1 galaxy.
This galaxy contains 200-400 billion stars.

In the universe there are at least 100 billion visable galaxies, some containg up to 10 trillion stars.

So you tell me.
 
and jesus being from space isnt??

Earth is in space, we are not space it's self but another Galaxy would hold the anwser if jesus came from space or not. I wonder, would that mean, hes' still alive and telepathic, and deals with depression and all the drama that comes a long with being telepathic. Its just a shot to the heart. Still, I could be right.
 
there are 10^22 stars in our universe. using threshold ranges for all of the parameters required for life as we know it to exist, the probability has been calculated at 10^99 to 10^232. if that is true, then there are not nearly enough stars for life to be probable.

Wait, so you think we are completely alone in this giant void?

i don't really know but i wouldn't be surprised if we are the only people in this universe. however it's possible that universes exist of which we are not aware of and they could have people.

True.....I just find it hard to fathom that in something as massive as our known universe that we would be it. There are too many stars to think that just one formed to support life as we know and understand it.

I like the idea of other universes......starts to make ya feel dizzy......:rolleyes:
