Are we alone in the universe?

[AngelGrinder]

I know this topics been done a few times, but I think we should have it again.

What's your views on life from other planets? Does it actually exist? Are they walking among us?

Personally, I'm certain there is something out there. I'm hoping there's lots out there. Maybe they are watching us from space, waiting until we pass some goal they may have set. Once we have passed this goal, for example, making it 1million miles from out home planet, they will make themselves known.

This test could prove that our race has the power and technology to achieve this, but obviously if we have that power, we also have the power to destroy, i.e nuclear weaponry.

If we have managed to achieve the goal without destroying ourselves, then maybe we are a trusted race?

Maybe humanity was told this thousands of years ago, but religious leaders hid it from
everyone?



Or maybe we really are just alone...

There is a book called 'Probability One', which deals with the simply statistical considerations of there being other 'intelligent' life in the universe.

It states that because it is so huge, there must be other intelligent life.

I think it is pretty fair to assume that is correct, but as for there being intelligent life which had developed to a stage where it can complete intergalactical travel easily, that is probably a bit far fetched. It is rather difficult you know.

[GhostRider]

In short, yes, I definately believe there is other intelligent life out there.

Are they technologically advanced? I don't know, maybe, I think it's plausible.

Are they amongst us? Men in black style? No, but I think that many UFO accounts are genuine and I do think we have been visited by extraterrestrial life, both in the Mayan/Sumarian times and in the present.

As an aside, I often have reoccuring dreams whereby I see hundred/thousands UFO's flying across the sky of all different shapes and sizes. Sometimes the visitors are friendly, sometimes they wreak havoc and destroy. I like to think that within my lifetime we'll get a definite answer.

Hi

Pretty certain statisically that there are other life forms on other planets. How many are intelligent, and how many of those are intelligent at the same time as us is another question. After all, things that look like humans have only been around for about 1/20000th of the life of the earth. Chances of us being around at the same time are the same as the chances of 2 people bumping into each other in a place that they each spend about 1 minute a month at.

All the best

I've often thought that our reality, and four dimensions aren't necessarily all there is to the universe. I think that other things could be existing in other forms we can't imagine. There could be other forms of life passing through our eyeballs every moment! And we'd never know...

[Irezumi aka Reuben]

I think you can spend so long reading books and reading/writing on the internet about whether there are other species of beings in the universe that you wont make the most of meeting and itneracting the ones that are all around you.

That's a long winded way of saying i dont really care either way.

[SuMo]

There MUST be intelligent life elsewhere. What kind of f**ked up place would it be if we were THE supreme beings. With our drugs and wars and shellsuits and single mothers.
I think the aliens are waiting for us to clean up our act before they get in touch. I mean look at what we have orbiting our planet. Satelites and feckin coffins!! We are the trailer trash of the universe and a truly intelligent race wouldn't come near us at the minute.

[Barry_M2]

There could well be (and probalby is) life on other planets in other galaxy's / universe's. But the time it would take to travel that far, civilisations could be born and die off again.

Human's, arguably have been around for about 200,000 years. Although this 'Lucy' (humanoil fossil that walked upright) was dated at 3 - 3.6 million years.

If we were to travel to Andromeda Galaxy (2.5 light years) is would take around 2 & half million earth years, and that would be if we could even get close to travelling at the speed of light!

I doubt that humans will ever see intelligent life from another planet, although I'd love to be wrong!

It's not so much that I believe there is Life on other planets, so much as I can't believe there isn't.

As for walking among us, tell me Derren Brown isn't an alien.

(and I won't believe you)

Hi

Err, 2.5 light years and taking 2.5 million years to get there suggests an average speed of about 1 millionth of the speed of light. Which is hardly close to the speed of light.

All the best

Yeah I know, but just read your sentance, out loud, several times, like I have done, I just don't get it!

Perhaps it's a friday, and my sense of humour has gone haywire...

Hi

Could / Count . Well, they share a couple of letters.

I like the idea of there being other life, but on the other hand I get a bit annoyed that I'm probably not going to see it. Feel like I might miss out on it!

[Gezza93]

In my honest opinion, I am 99.9% sure there is life on other planets. Maybe not in our galaxy but there's millions of other galaxy's out there with various numbers of planets in each. I would be suprised if we were actually alone in this massive universe. I hope they don't come here though because that means they have greater technology than us so we're basically fucked. But maybe they have already come, and they wiped out the dinosaurs.

All examples of conscious life are components of the same one universal consciousness, and the distances between them are an illusion.

Next time you have an OBE see how long it takes you to travel 2.5 light-years, or a distance a trillion times greater or more...it takes as long as it takes you to think yourself there. Because the universe is an illusion that exists only in your mind, and your mind is the same universal consciousness that is every other conscious being's mind.

Simples.

Right, here's the thing. We are part of 'God's' chemistry set. Basically God created a planet, and set up life forms, that evolved over several thousands of years. Human's came about, and set about destroying the planet, themselves, and other living creatures, because they could. This world got buggered up, trashed by the human life, they killed the ozone and stuffed up the entire eco system, so badly that they killed off themselves and the planet...apart from a few who escaped into space.

This planet is known to us as Mars.

The humans who escaped into Space, have evolved into grey creatures (because their flesh see's no sun), they have perfected the art of telepathy, so have large heads, and large eyes to be able to see in the dark.

Billions of years ago, God decided to create life once again on another planet in his chemistry set...that planet being us, Earth...and lo and behold, it seems like we are heading in the same direction as Mars...oops!

The people who think they see Aliens, are actually those who are being re-visited by humans evolved by billions of years. They are as fascinated by 'us' as we are the 'chimpanzee'...

Simples.
