Just came into my head today. Are there other beings like us or not like us. But at least is there life out there in the universe other than us. What do you believe? Do you believe that we are not alone or we are indeed alone? I actually think that there are others out there. Maybe not like us but they are similar to us. Or are in some form of vegetation or animal or insect. |

I'm not even sure we exist, let alone anybody else! However, if we did exist, then the universe is a very, extremely, hugely, awesomely big place, and it's vastly improbable that we are the only forms of life in existence. That doesn't much help, of course, since "life" is a very vague term. It's vastly improbable that any life we find will resemble us in any way. It's possible that we could find major life-forms that aren't even carbon-based; we'd have to actually redefine what we consider to be "alive". And the U.S. thinks it has a problem with illegal aliens now.... |

Ben explained it perfectly, only thing I can add is 'maybe?'. |

You make a relativity good point Ben. I never would have thought of that. Also. Alien is an inappropriate term. Extraterrestrial is better. |

Didn't some scientists just discover another planet or something among those lines that is basically just like earth?? |

Look in the java hut, I made a topic on it. The planet is suitable for human life, not sure if it exists there though. |

Nobody knows if there is life on other planets. It's hard to know, with our limited knowledge of space travel. Some planets are too far for us to reach right now, but lately as we've found the new planet (I forget name) it shows possibility that other planets could have life on them. I personally hope to find an extraterrestrial, not as in me but we find extraterrestrials because it could prove to have a lot of information that could save us in our crisis's. I'm also afraid that if we bring back an extraterrestrial and all of a sudden it does something and goes on a rabid attack :blink: Kinda weird eh? |

I think that there probably is extraterrestrial life out there somewhere but maybe not next door to us. Chances are that even if there is life in the universe that it will be to far away for us to get to. According to some scientists the only way to get out of our galaxy within a lifetime would be to travel at the speed of light. The problem with that however is that the faster you travel, the more time slows down. If the above theory is correct then on the basis of it, if say we were invited by the extraterrestrials to come around for drinks, when the astronauts get there it could be hundreds of years before we were invited to come over for drinks and that would be social death. So the idea of extraterrestrial life out there somewhere is possible, while the idea of getting to them is possible it would be unwise. |

Oooo, someone who thinks the same way I do.
I always thought electricity-based life-forms is an exciting thought. :w00t: |

I really don't see how we could be alone in such a large universe, and i think it's encouraging to think we are not alone. I am a Trekkie, and watch tonnes of Scifi, so i have sort of got my hopes up that there are others out there.

Community Chat to Java Hut then back to Community Chat. Well I see a bunch of opinions in here. I just wanted to get everyone to voice what they wanted to. Also, Please if you are going to choose the second option, It would be nice to say why you believe we are indeed alone. |
