justwantmusicbe Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 I do not believe we are alone, and it would be nearly impossible to confirm we were. The universe is so vast, we couldn't have been formed alone. Do you think that only one planet in X amount of galaxies could hold life? The odds are so against us being alone.

Thanodai Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 At the risk of total ridicule. No, we are not alone. Yes, there are countless other worlds, with climates the same as ours, with people, just like us. Again, further indulgence on my part treads into forbidden territory. -T- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamujiin Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Woot! something i actually know about ( from a scientifc point of few able to debate properly.) Consider this, In the mapping of the universe mankind alone has discovered thousands of galaxys, star clusters and what not. it is proven in the hubble space backdrop. Every thing in that picture is a collective of stars, Either a 100 million or billions of stars. so figuring that chance at best there are only 1000 galaxys and they have onlt 100 million stars that is a 1:100,000,000,000 chance we are alone. If there are even more galaxys then time and light allow us to see, ( read a book you will get what i mean ) so if say there were only 5000 galaxys in the enitre universe and all of them averaged out to be a billion stars in each that would be a chance of 1:5,000,000,000,000 ( trillion ) chance we are the only life in the universe. ( nobody or maybe somebody does know trhe exact numbers, but that would be my conservitive estimate.) With current the current knowledge of scientists, people are looking away from Light speed travel, looking more at either jumping through the fabric of space through a worm hole, or possibly black hole theorys, ( i wouldnt try it if they paid me ). Science fiction offers many ideas for "faster than light travel" . As being the only intellegent life in the universe....thats a nieve statement. What right do we have in the universe to judge what is intellegent? We could be watched right now by a form of being that we could never understand because its intellegnce dwarfs us like the sun to a pebble. What if there were beings that can see us, but due to the way they travel we cant see them? maybe in a sub reality or something? I for one am comfortable with saying i know in the universe we are not alone, and will never be alone. 100%. All you would have to do to change your mind is study our planets various life forms, At sea floor vents in the ocean scientists discovered creatures that live and thrive in the hot methane enviroment. tpyical of the gas giants, mixed with some hydrogen and oxygen, maybe some sulfer, i would believe it could create a nasty creature, ( just AN EXAMPLE.) Scientists are begining to believe that channels or groves near the ice caps of mars are formed by microbacterial organisms, be cause the groves change constatly. alot more configures into this theory, like light and time and what not. Plus the vast distances, but i belive there are dimensions and other variables that would allow you to "get past" those problems. Nobody that ever reads this will ever get to see it though, our lives are too short. thanks for reading my long winded opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndorilTheGreat Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I have a feeling that this problem will never be resolved, until we have some solid proof. When you think about it, what would be the point of just having Humans be the only life form in the entire Universe? It would such a waste, right? But, then again, how do we know that the Universe actually exists? For all we know it could just be a back-drop, or a movie screen, just beyond our Solar System... Here's what I think: The Unknown is only interesting because it's Unknown. :closedeyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake4000 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 There are definitely UFOs out there, the universe is just simply too big for their not to be, weather it be terrestrial as we know it, thats another question. But depends what people define as life doesn't it... But yes, theres life out there. And if I were them, I'd stay well away from earth, because we must seem like a very chaotic, stupid and violent 'civilization' from the outside. And even from the in. War, famine, stupid political systems, our value system is messed up, our society is messed up, moral decay and filth abound. Yep, Stay away aliens! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no such thing as a UFO in the terms of "oh look its a flying saucer!" A space ship would not be a round looking thingy like that which resembles something from the sixties.Aliens on earth? could be possible. Look at some of the people you see walking down a busy street, that should be more than enough to explain. there are so many things, and probabilitys ect that would need to be considered if an "intellegent" liform is actually intellegent or something else. Are they totally evil world consuming beasts of death brought about by war and whatever else?Do they exist to spread peace and prospeity around there area of influence? Considering our place in the milkyway galaxy, we could just be too far away for the big variety of intellegent lifeforms in our own galaxy to even care. They could be the bright center of the galaxy and we could be the planet farthest from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezdimona Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I believe we are not alone in the universe.For life on this planet to be the only one in hundreds of galaxies would be pure egotism. I also believe that when I die my spirit will pass on to another plane of existance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kresselack Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 There are already many species on our planet alone. That dosent mean that life on other planets will be completely different. There might even be other humans with the same general knowledge. Mars used to be identical to Earth, except that the shapes of the continents were different. There is a theory that humans and similar animals to the ones on Earth had lived on Mars. Our moon is actually a broken piece of our planet meaning that our moon could have had life on it for a brief moment in time. Some mentioned life underground. It could be possible. I doubt anybody decided to dig deep into the crust of Mars to see if the life is simply hiding underground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sativarg Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Ha. Of course you are my bright little star.You're miles and miles pretty of your forefathers truth and now to suit our great computer your magnetic ink. Alone. Yes in a way we are alone here because we are not the same as those who are above us that did not create us. But we are not unique. Many gardens have been planted among the stars. Once upon a time ones like us worked mars.Our numbers in this universe truly rival the number of stars.We are very useful.We are loved and we have value but we are not on top. Humanity is in a way more real than are our keepers.We still change according to truth and thus we embody eons of Natural wisdom that are irreplaceable.So we are not alone in the universe but within our range of experience yes we are very alone.

QQuix Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 You know what frightens me? Consider the scenario of many/100s/1000s of intelligent species in the universe. They evolved at different moments and paces. And one of them had to be the first. Right? What if we are the first? We may do to the universe the same we are doing to our planet!
