Do you think there are intelligent beings on other planets?

The stars we see are billions of years in the past. In those billions of years we dont see,I think there could be people like us on them. They probably see our universe as different since they can only see in the past. I dont see how people can say were the only intelligent things in the universe when we onlysee billions of years in the past.

Thats like a computer game having a low draw distance,the more far you go out the more stuff that pops out. In that waythe universe issimular to being a computer game.

Not intelligent. Maybe really far out. But if we found equally or more intelligent beings then i would be scared.

probably, who knows

yes, the probability of us being the only intelligent life in trillions upon trillions of planets is ridiculously low. And IMO would be a huge was of space (pun intended) Plus we don't even know how big the universe is.

im sure there is life on other planets and i would think at least some would be intelligent but who knows?

Yes.

The universe is so incomprehensibly massive that I would be utterly shocked if we discovered Earth is the only planet in existence with intelligent life on it.

Some other intelligent beings on another planet are wondering the same thing.

i believe in other life but im not sure about intelligent

I dunno.

I don't doubt, I don't believe.

of course. the universe never ends.

there are intellegent beings spread across lang distances but for sure there are

yeah. Their smart enough not to come here.

Most definitely. The universe is far too big for us to be the only planet with intelligent life. The question we should be asking is how common is intelligent life is.

Theres always the possibility...

There is most definetily more intelligent beings out there than us. They would most likely regard us unintelligent. But think about how long the universe has been around. Billions of years. Humans have been around for what? A few hundred thousand? A million? Nothing compared to the universe. Even if intelligent life isn't out there NOW, I believe that at one point, there certainly was intelligent life. Shame we most likely will never know for sure... in our lifetimes.

I totally agree with you. Compared to the time scale of the universe 10 thousands years is nothing, but imagine if there is another race , 10 thousands years older than us... Or even 1 million years older.

I can't even imagine what technologie they could have develop !

when you look up at the night sky thinking that, know that someone up there is thinking the same thing....i would bet my life on this. i just find it impossible that we are the only ones.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were.

I am pretty sure there are.

probably, who knows

This. I believe there are, but we can't be certain.

Probably. But probably not like super cause they'd have visited by now.

I dunno, maybe.

Yes, and they are probably more advance then we are!

We've made a model (well, more like Frank Drake made it) that helps us answer this very question called the Drake Equation.

Nah I think it is unlikely, we are alone out here.

sure why not?

Judging by the sheer size of the universe its pretty unlikely that there arent any.

I used to wonder about this. Then I realized it's more or less completely irrelevant, and i don't think we should be spending federal money looking for them.
