Probability and the Copernican principle says that aliens must exist.

But then, we don't know how large the universe is, soI would say they most likely exist.
 
Aliens exist and will one day rule the Earth.

THE END IS NIGH!!!!
 
Personally the more relevant question is 'Are they already here?' ><

but what if you were stuck with him in an enclosed area. how much time would it take to...hmm, you know what? :dozey:
 
Of course I believe in them they talk to me every night before I go to bed and run some strange tests on me J/k! Anyway we are just a small little universe out of many. Don't you think there is a relatively good chance of life being in more than just this universe?
 
Although I have to explain semantics here ... I belive in life elsewhere in the universe, but they're only "aliens" if they come here. That I am severely skeptical about.

Why? Is it so hard to believe that they have developed a way to travel across the vast expanse of space?

I believe in them... or believe there is a high probability that there is some life out there.

I mean, space is pretty freaking huge. And out of all the stars and all the planets orbiting those stars. It'd be hard to say they we're the ONLY planet with life on it. There has to be (There is a high probability of) some other planet somewhere out there with life on it.

If it is proven that there is not (highly doubtful in my lifetime) i'd be pretty shocked.
 
I don't think some people posting here realise how small we are and how big the universe acually is.





This is how small we are compared to our planet.



This is our small our planet is compared to our solar system.



This is how small our solar system is to our galaxy. You can see a purple spec I added to signify how small our solar system is to our galaxy, our solar system is probably waaaay smaller.



This is a number of galaxies (not all galaxies in the universe, just a few), scientists think we are one of the smaller galaxies (one of the white dots you can barely see)


Now come on, some of your are saying that no where in this universe is life? I don't think that there was some kind of wierd chance that we are the only life, I don't think it works that way...
 
Answering to something I know little to nothing about is premature.
 
There's alien life, we're an example of it.
 
You forgot the possibility of different dimensions, and if they do exist, my theory is that there is 1 intelligent life form at our state in time for each dimension, then more and more will evolve.

Come on, you can't possibly think we're that important.
 
There has to be something else out there.
 
And it's possible we're not only it.

Statistics bend.

Does any unbanned person have said statistics?

Cause the whole process that created life is so unspecial, it's hard to believe it couldn't have happened again in one of the billions of ****ing galaxies out there.

Exactly Sinkoman. That's exactly right.

All that is required for a planet to be suitable for life (life as we know it) is a particular amount of sun, water, and some kind of favorable atmosphere. They don't even have to be precise amounts, they just have to have favorable conditions - i.e. non-extreme temperature. This is what scientists say.

And for all we know, there could be a different kind of life that doesn't require these conditions. Also, there could be metals, gasses, molecules, etc., that don't exist on Earth. If we all lived on Mars would we be saying, "well there is no 'water' here, so it must not exist."? Therefore, there is almost definitely things that exist on other planets that don't exist on Earth.

Now you have already seen, our solar system (the sun and all of our planets) is just a speck - in fact it's not even big enough to be a speck - in the universe. It's hardly a speck in the galaxy. We don't even know how large the universe is. When I was in school we were told the universe was infinite or it was just plain unknown. The universe itself could be a speck in a much larger diagram! We will never know that much! We haven't even actually hardly got off of the planet yet.


There is no life on the other planets of our solar system, but each solar system has a good chance of supporting life. Each one has a sun. CHECK. The planet just has to be within a certain temperature range, and preferably circle the sun frequently enough so that it doesn't get ****ing cold. Then what we don't know is if there is water or a breathable atmosphere on each of these planets, but there is already a chance that there could be some life in any solar system because they each have a sun. There could be algae or other simple organisms, or there could be complex creatures.


And humans are not that smart, I hate to say it. Our idea of smart is interesting. Someone here said that aliens probably couldn't develop radio technology, but it is already in nature, we just figured out how to use it. Some creatures can even communicate over radio waves here on earth - at least many scientists believe that ants can communicate with their ****ing antennas on their heads, and they have witnessed it. Maybe an alien race can communicate through radio waves built into their bodies, its merely electrical energy. The nerves and the Human brain itself operates by electric charges! They could use any number of means to communicate. Voice box(humans), body language (bees), other.

If you look deep into our ocean, you will see some crazy crazy shit. It's whatever it wants to be. Anything can be anything. The universe is likely much more bizarre than this.

I would bet my life that there is life on another planet, and more than likely there are planets that are much smarter and more evolved out there somewhere, unless they were "so smart" that they all 'nuked' each other millions or billions of years ago. Thats the thing - we are not very smart.

The race of evolution and life in the universe didn't start when life on earth started. It could have started a 100 billion years before or after(which would be the future), or some other extreme amount. So they could have came and gone - their sun burned out, or they could be thriving right as we speak, and I am sure that if we can continue at the pace we are going, we will have gigantic ships that coast through space, and these ships will be our home. Humans living and growing up aboard a ship. Generations humans of living on this ship, kids growing up, learning in schools on-board it, etc., and eventually - oh shit! we found land. We found life. That is - if we don't find some seriously unknown shit that just eats ships or whatever, like things at the deepest parts of the Earths oceans, we don't know what the **** is out there. Black holes, super novas, orange stars and green clovers.

There is life. Oh yes, there is life. It may not be what we imagine life as being, it could be some seriously bizarre mother ****ing shit. Could be literally Anything. And there is likely many anythings on many planets.

We will never find out in our life-time - and that might not be a bad thing.


If this is all news to you then I fear for this Earth. Allot of what I've said is taken as a probablility or fact by most scientists. I dropped out of school, you guys should be teaching me things. This world is in sad shape. Go to school, impress people with your grades, not your new haircut. 20 years from now, nobody cares what brand of shoe you had on or what type of hair you had, in fact - they would probably make fun of you. (look at 1980's hairstyles) Be smart, don't be a retard.
 
Who says aliens need Water or Oxygen? Who says Aliens even need to feed or eat or need the right temperature?

Just because we need those things, doesn't mean other forms of life does.
 
I bet if there is intelligent life on a plant like ours, they would be fairly similar to us.

i really doubt ants use radio waves to communicate..

I didn't really say that they did, but I mentioned how if a simple critter like an ant can communicate with their antenna over sound waves. Scientists don't seem to be entirely clear how it works. Everything on this planet is pretty well evolved. It's certainly amazing.


I started a thread on the ways creatures communicate, it could be interesting. click here:

you'd have to be pretty damn ignorant to think that there is no other life out there. our planet isnt even a grain of sands worth to the vast desert that is the universe
 
Theoretical reasons why aliens should exist is not proof of alien existence, don't confuse the two. If you are going to use the arguments "the universe is so very big and old" then you should stick to arguing why we need to keep looking for actual evidence.
 
Yea.

We can't see far enough. I think we are just now discovering new planets that revolve around our sun, there is just no way at this point we can find out if there is some critters crawling on some planet in some other solar system or in another galaxy, just discussing whether you believe intelligent life exists outside of Earth.
 
No! It's my mist! But I've got to go with most on here. I believe in life elsewhere, I just don't believe we've been visited at all.
 
On the visitation front: I do happen to be a believer that something weird is going on, but just what it is I don't have a clue.

Seriously, pick a (type of) person you'd believe, and a situation, and theres a UFO sighting to go with it. Often there'll actually be hundreds, and they won't be easily dismissed.
 
We know so little about what's out there in space - we don't even know whats on Earth yet!

Read this.
Incredible as it may seem, we know little about 99 per cent of the inhabitable space on Earth. For - measured by volume, rather than just surface area - that is what the seas and oceans represent. And we know virtually nothing about their depths.

The little we have found is intriguing. For a start the seabed, like land, has plains and trenches, mountain ranges, volcanoes and canyons. Temperatures run to extremes: while most of the deep sea is icy cold, a few places are boiling hot. At these hydrothermal vents, scorching, poisonous water spews out of cracks in the sea floor. But despite the heat and toxic sulphides, many creatures - including giant tubeworms, clams and microorganisms - live around them.

If there's life on other planets, there's even space dragons, and you bastards can't disprove it. They fly around eating asteroids for nutritional content, soaring through the solar winds.

Can't disprove it! Nyah! Statistically speaking, its possible!
 
It's ok Raziaar, settle down

Drakes Equation is also held to be pretty pessimistic. It may be that theres many more aliens out there. Of course, the opposite is possible too.
