Tony Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 The Mars missions are hotting up, expeditions are planned to meteors, asteroids and comets, and scientists expect to find a planet just like Earth this year. Are you ready to find out that we're not the only planet with life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EASTWOOD141 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Life does exist on other planets, just read some of the post and you will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karis Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I personally can't wait - hope it's in my life time. Although I very much doubt any Government will readily make this information available. Although I'm hopeful they would let us all know we're just a very small fish in a very very VERY large pond.

Alien52 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I think it will be on 23rd October 2015. But that was not an option in the poll. Question was when will. Possible answers are no life,is life. Daft question. Hence my daft answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteMorris Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I don't see that we as 'earth dwellers' could be so arrogant as to think that we're the only ones! Surely statistics would state that the probability of their being intelligent life elsewhere in the cosmos is pretty much a certainty. However, we might never find out or know about it, cos of the vast distances involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's just the vast distances which will make it unlikely to encounter intelligent life, time will also be a factor. If you think about how long our planet has been around (intelligent design adherents look away now) and for what a small proportion of that intelligent life has existed, several 10s of thousands of years. Now extrapolate that across the many universes and the likelihood of any other life form evolve whilst we're still around is infinitesimal.

But it's also statistically probable. But as I said, we'll probably never know. And definitely not in any foreseeable future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I think its been known for some time that life exists. Barely a week goes by without some new astronomical discovery, either in our solar system or an earth-like planet found within a few dozen light years. I think we're being slowly conditioned for the news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
