I don't necessarily know if this should be in Rants/Advice or if it should stay in General, but I had a question for this forum.
Is there anything besides us, I mean besides Humanity and Earth, in the stars?
-
Stephen Hawkings believes that there is. But nobody knows, we have a bunch of proof that can be disproven. Like did you ever hear of the WOW signal? Its a noise that came from space. That may seem like some form of proof but it just came from nowhere. Just some big black empty area.... Also some people think that pagan gods are really aliens. It would make sense since if a Mayan asked "Where did you come from?" the alien would probably reply "Up there" while pointing up. And the drawings do look humanoid but very deformed. So there is no idea. But most likely considering the universe is infinite and we're probably at the most uneventful area in the universe. That could be why we're alive in the first place though.
-
I wasn't asking for facts
i was asking for personal opinions, What do you personally believe.
-
Yeah other than all that crap I think there probably is, not anything like we could imagine though. They might not even have a body at all.
-
I think there is. theres no way humanity is the only living thing in the universe.
Come on! A never ending void and we are the only things living? Makes no sense to me.
-
I believe their is life other than us in this universe, but it's too far away for us to see and too far for them to visit us. But probably in the future we'll somehow meet!
-
There probably is but the chances of them being anything more than microbes, let alone sentient beings is so extreme that we'll probably never know about them for at least a thousand years, probably more.
-
I don't usually think about this because it makes me feel small. We are so infinitely small compared to the galaxy let alone the universe. I believe there is an extremely high chance of there being other living organisms out there and I also like to think there are parallel universes. I'm pretty sure scientists had recently found microbacteria on Mars. I don't remember where I read it but that's something. What bothers me most is where everything came from and what is beyond that or that everything that exists ALWAYS existed in the sense that most people can't get their heads around the idea that something never had a beginning but rather always was. I mean it's like trying to picture what nothing looks like. What DOES nothing look like??? I've been trying to picture this for over a year now. I think it's some pretty interesting stuff.

Well, space doesn't make sense and it doesn't have to. It is very possible that we are the only intelligence in the universe. Yeah it's unlikely but it's not impossible.

nothing doesn't exist, so there's no point picturing what it actually looks like. it doesn't exist, you can't see it. If there was nothing except you looking around, you'd see just black because there would be no light, and when there's no light, your brain just registers black.
I'm pretty sure scientists had recently found microbacteria on Mars.
They found evidence that there might be microbes on mars. they havent found the microbes themselves.
-
My opinion, is that there is too many planets and moons asteroids and the like for there NOT to be any other form of intelligent and significant life. Whether or not we ever come in to contact with them is a totally different story. There would be to many variables to factor into the equation to calculate if it's possible.
-
The universe is too big, there has to be something out there, hey maybe they're anthro!
-
Some scientist said, "If the universe contains an infinite number of planets, and at least one planet contains life, it is infinitely possible that another planet contains life."
Don't know who it was, and that wasn't the exact quote, but it was something to that effect.
-
With the number of planets an even galaxies out there, it's highly unlikely theer isn't at least one more planet with life on it. there may even be more than one universe, we just haven't found a way to see if there is yet.
so yes, i belive there is more to it than just out little green and blue ball of dirt.

Green and blue dirt?
-
He's talking about the planet of Snitsizaguh in the Artemis Tau cluster
named it meself
-
earth. look at it from space. it's green and blue, and made of dirt.
-

I'll call this a win
-
There is some green dirt though, caused by bacteria in the soil... There may be blue dirt too
-
I believe that there are for more things than we can comprehend present in the universe, even what we've seen on our own planet.
-
That's a valid point. Depending on the conditions of a species' evolution it might take a form humans fail to recognize as a life form.
-
If you take into consideration the sheer impossible odds of such an immensely complex planet to occour....
And on top of that the sheer impossible odds of the material universe existing in the first place....
And then consider the sheer impossible odds of transcendant thought producing such values as love, art, beauty and music.....
Yes.
-
Considering that the universe has spanned (and will span) a quantity of both space and time (or space-time for those of you Astrophysicists out there) that completely dwarves how far and long life on this planet has existed and spread...considering the complexity of life and the odds...
It's almost certain. But as already mentioned I'm doubtful that we'll encounter other forms of life before humanity reaches its end and I'm equally sceptical that we'll recognise it as life when and if we see it. The concept that "Gods" from the past are actually other life forms makes sense but again, I have my doubts. Even if the odds were that other life couldn't possibly exist within logical reasoning, I refuse to believe that us and our planet are alone. That we should believe that humans are the only "intelligent" life in the universe (if we can even call ourselves that) smacks of ego and highlights us as special, which I disagree with.
-
There has to be something out there, we can't be alone...that would be...Lonely. I hope they're furries! :3
