Do you believe there is life out there ?
There may be billions of planets in the universe but what if the chance of life happening is just so so so low we are a one of a kind ?
Imagine the variety of landscapes of these planets. Just magical
Personally, no. There's a reason Earth is the only place sustainable for life.

thats for life has we know it, we cant possible comprehend what other forms of life can be until we see them
My religion
There are 200 billion trillion stars, let alone planets. That is 200,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars. The odds of there not being a suitable planet among those stars for life is beyond minuscule.

bro?
Sustainable for our life yes. We've adapted to the conditions.
This is why im ashamed to be american!

Yes, I found it once in refrigerator when I forgot about milk for a month
I have no doubts there is life (even intelligent life) outside of Earth but it might be so far away that we will never discover it.
the universe is around 100 billion light years in diameter (idk where i read that) so it would be insanely dumb to think we're alone, thats an almost incomprehensible size
So long as we don’t have a precise definition for “life”, it is difficult to answer.
In the traditional understanding of the word (mammals, fish, insect), I believe it is exceedingly rare that life occurs, but that there are thousands of planets with life.
I believe that there are no other intelligent civilisations at this present time. Too many things have to go right and we likely won’t survive for much more than max 30k years.
Yea and i happen to be very interested in ufology

+1 humans are a fluke
If they fucked their planet half as much as we did, the landscape can't be that good
I´m certain that there are many planets with life of some sort. There are most like also some that has developed further than humanity. But the chance that they (or we) ever manage to explore space to an extent to make contact, to find other civilisations, is very small.
Our life cycle is too short for us to ever leave our solar system. Humanity will collapse long before that.
the universe is so large that even if we just think mathematically chances are there are hundreds if not more suitable planets for life easily
but we might never make contact with them unless we manage to travel through wormholes or some shit, since other galaxies are getting away from us faster than we can get to them
There might be species of types along the universe, but the scope is that are they on the same technological level as humans are? The recent explosion in science, philosophy, engineering etc., have happened during the last what? 150 years? That's next to no time at all in the big scales. I like to believe that intelligence exists in this universe, not sure if humans account for such a concept.

would be delusional to expect us to be the only one iin this endless universe and its beyond our understanding. so we should not try to understand it. there are many others that are doin it for us.
Yeah, most likely even in our solar system
I reckon there is. The reason it's hard to guess is the fact that earth is the only planet with intelligent life that we know of, so we don't know what the chances of that occurring are. If we found another planet with intelligent life we could make an assumption of the chance of a solar system containing it. We could of course have just gotten unlucky in our section of the universe - perhaps there is other intelligent that knows each others existence somewhere else. Either way, we only know such a tiny tiny proportion of the universe doesn't contain life, so it seems plausible that there is more life elsewhere. We don't even know for sure if there is no other life in the solar system.

Yes mens and I think it's more common than most people think
im sure there are life forms out there, but i find it hard to believe that another technologically advanced civilization is on the same time scale as we are
earth has been here for billions of years, but humans only for hundreds of thousands of years. we're talking a tiny, TINY sliver of time (not including the small amount of time within human civilization that is technically advanced enough to even explore our own solar system). what are the odds that there's another one out there at the same time as us?
just like we're experiencing now, natural resources are finite. there's only so much time we have left on this planet b4 there's just not enough left
not to mention.... light speed is the fastest theoretical speed within the bounds of physics. even if there was another civilization out there, there's no way either of us would ever be able to travel to the other planet

I talk with a friend who was then at CERN and he stated that travelling faster than light is to use normal propulsion and use a shitton of energy to stretch the local space, so the traveler will see himself travelling at say 10'000kmph but to an outside observer there's movement in excess of the speed of light form the frame of reference that the observer is in.

I take it your not a theoretical physcist? Think about it, the local space stretched you're able to travel at excessive speeds of light. This requires a lot of energy however. It's basic university physics.

you're living in a dream world, which is fine, but don't sit there and tell me that we're going to break the speed of light
12 replies
Ok, you're not aware of physics. Travelling at excess speeds of the speed of light is not possible, but the fucking general relativity I think provides you with the frame of reference and that makes for relative speed. Remember that you travel only 10'00kmph or something similar, the whole movement is larger than what you could make way apart from not stretching out the local space.

explain how that fantasy world would EVER allow us to feasibly travel to an alien world that's thousands, or millions, of lightyears away
10 replies
Eh, I already explained a scientific fact which you call "fantasy", so why should I repeat myself? Look, I don't care if you're a high school physics aficionado and your teacher told you that nothing travels in excess of the speed of light. Try taking some lectures at the university and you might get surprised.

yea bc i don't believe in a nonsense theory. good one
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive <- here's the model. The problem is the fact that you need a lot of power to make the damned bubble you're inside.

Seriously the Alcubierre-drive is a feasible way once we get to the point of manned spacetravel. Have a nice night, Sobolev_spaces.

Theoretically possible, if humankind could enter some sort of hypersleep type of state.
big fan of the great filter theory
No
In the grand scheme of things it should be IMPOSSIBLE that there isnt at least some form of extraterrestrial life out there, whether it be bacteria or intelligent species. The universe is already 13 billion years old AND expanding, so theres nobody who can say there isnt already a strand of life following our path that has happened, or one that will happen in the distant future.
even if there is, almost certainly we won't be able to communicate with them.
Unfortunately, even if we could travel at light speed, which is impossible to reach acc to our understanding of science, around 94% of the galaxies we can see are already unreachable to us, FOREVER.

youtube.com/watch?v=sNhhvQGsMEc highly recommend watching these videos, kurzgesagt is amazing.
The existence of extraterrestrial life has not been scientifically proven. one can argue against it, stating the lack of evidence and the unlikelihood of life existing, since it's actually a miracle we exist today. We'd never exist in the first place if even one critical advancement went wrong in the history of evolution or catastrophic events. one can argue in favor of it, stating the vastness of the universe.
it doesn't matter tho, since both sides have no concrete proof. but even if they have, there is almost no chance we'll ever meet with them, cus they are simply out of reach.
yes but we will never meet because no one is allowed to enter or exit the Solar System
There no way to calculate chances, we have no references. By the way we are only aware because life blossomed here, so this might trick our mind about chances. Not to mention we don't really know much about existence. I think an ant has some idea about its surroundings, but it can't comprehend things like we can, maybe we also can't comprehend reality as well as it's possible. That is, reality might be incomprehensible, bizarre, dull, with purpose that is not thinkable to humans, with other kinds of strange behaviours other than life, there are just endless possibilities for which we have nothing to compare... So I think we can only predict something about life in other planets if we can think of a way to see them, eliminating the stars light in some way, or maybe if we can produce life here so that we can calculate chances of it occurring naturally.
tldr I don't know
yes
I just listened to David Kipping: Alien Civilizations and Habitable Worlds | Lex Fridman Podcast #355 and his theory is that we may be the only civilization currently because we don't have a great lifespan. Other civilizations could have existed or will exist in the future on other planets.
