Life Else Where - Are we alone? [Closes 8/4/07]

I reckon that bacteria on other planets is just waiting to evolve

Almost certainly, lifes happened twice (maybe more) as seperate occurences on this just one small, insignifcant little planet, its obserd to think out of an almost infinite universe this should be the only one to support any life.

That's what I was thinking. I think in 100 years we will have visited Mars easily. Which might give us a better idea to this whole water on Mars theory.

[Shawnstra]

Definitely! I would think so because earth is only this small.

Ok well... we are (.) this in are solar system proberly not even that big lol. But there is life on other planets or has been. A black hole is formed when a star implodes so alot of plantes have been distroyed that could of had life on. Are Star (the sun) is in it's early stages of it's life so it has alot left soon it will swell up and turn into a Red dwaf Before that even happens we would of all been whiped out as nothing will be able to stand the heat. Some people believe the adam and eve theory as thats there religeion. but the truth is that bacteria off an astoriod crashed onto are plant billions of years ago, then the hole evolution crap happened and here we are today. So whats the odds that another atoried calashed with another planet?

I think you may wana try reading a few of these theorys as your tripping over yourself combining about 6 in a way that makes no sence.

Bactera also has to evolve, it cannot do so on an astroid, logically if an asteroide has bacteara on it, it had to come from somewhere where it previously evolved, the chances of a bit of a life sustaining planet being blow apart and not disintegrated, but still retaining life in the form of dormant bacteria is somewhat unlikly, at least compaired to the VERY likely chance it just evolved here to start with. Which it did, Twice, there are 2 life strains on this planet, once which lead to pretty much everything around us, the oxigen breathing variety, plants, etc etc. The other known to a very specific system of deep sea volcanic vents which instead live of elements excreated from the earths core.
Secondly, swell up in to a red dwarf? i take it you mean in to a red giant, which will then ether go nova if the star is moderaly sized, shrink in to a white dwarf if its small, or go the full way and colapse in to a quantom singlarty if its a absoulty massive one.

From earth we can see 1,000s of stars orbiting the Milky Way and the sky is so densely populated with planets that are billions of light years away and that is one Galaxy? The Universe is built up of around 50 billion galaxies, that is an estimate, and the solar system stretches 1.6 light years. That means it takes light around a year and a half to travel the length of the solar system and light is the fasted moving object ever know so far... Trust me the Solar System in terms of size to us is massive and out there in around 50 billion galaxies holding 1,000s of stars that have lots of planets orbiting that makes a hell of allot of planets and it is near impossible that we are the only planed out of 100's of billions that has life on it.

[bo$$]

As everyone has said before..
For sure.
Theres no way that Earth is the only planet holding living things in this huge universe.
UGH.
This does my brain in becuase of things like MIB LOL. Where our entire universe is just in one little marble to a whole new universe XD But ye. It could continue forever. WE dont know that.. Maybe within the next 4 billion years we will find out

I could go in depth with my thoughts on theories and blah blah but I'd just get lost and theres too much to say..

Space is really one topic that could go on forever.

When I think of aliens, I dont think of super-smart green dudes. I think of animals like we see on this planet. We definatly arent alone, but we might be the most intelligent in the universe.

Even thats doubtful, i expect theres bacterial life, maybe even small animals in our solar system allown, statistically chances where the most intelligent is very very low down to the pure magnitude of the universe.
