The Universe
« on: May 07, 2010, 12:44:02 AM »
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.

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!
With 955 characters for a signature, I can try make something funny or interesting but no, I'm just gonna sit here and type instead of going to work because breaking the fourth wall is more humour than trying to figure out how I'll get access to my other laptop; picking up my charger that I left at a friends house, around 40 miles away...

Good going Sparky, you did well. On the plus side, it's given you a chance to accidentally revisit some old stomping grounds and see what madness you can create during this seemingly temporarily return.

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.
"Parents always think kids are wasting their youth, and always have done [so] down through the millennia," says Tom Forsyth of RAD Game Tools. "'That Ug, always holding things. His front paws will develop in funny ways. Why can't he walk on all fours like normal proto-hominids?' And so, whatever the kids spend the most time doing, that's always what parents think is a waste of time, and what is corrupting their lives. It doesn't matter what that is. If all they did was homework, parents would be worrying that their kids aren't becoming well-rounded people. And, in fact, parents do this - enrolling math nerds in karate classes and the like. There is no way to win - parental paranoia ensures that kids are always doing the wrong thing."

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.

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.

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.

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.
Would you like a medium or a large crater?

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.
By Jove!
