Do You Think There's Other Intelligent Life Out There?

Are you kidding?

Wow!

You probably should read about the universe more.

Oh my god. I can't believe that I'm reading this.

All stars are the same as our sun in the physical form. Obviously not the name of "sun" which is made up by the human race. Our sun is in the same form as other stars, but maybe different in sizes. If you travel many light years to reach a star out there, you'll feel the heat from it and it will provide light. Just like the sun. Duh...

He is just taking the piss.

In the same way that there are not other earths. other Planets yes.

There are obviously many stars, we call our star the sun.

Ok, you're just trolling.

I thought our star was called Sol. Then we sort of just adapted to calling it Sun instead.

and the Moon is Luna and Earth is Terra. True story. I guess it's a way to confuse the alien invaders :P

I thought Luna was a equestrian princess, as well as being a hero on DoTA 2. And Terra was a MMO. :o

Sol is just Sun in a few languages.

Way to have an obvious point sail a mile over your head. Congrats dude.

I think there is def life on other planets, the solar system is just so darn big. That and im a huge xfiles fanboy.bootybin

It's extremely unlikely that there is life on any other planet in the Solar System.

I think there may be some on that ice moon, Hoth, I think its called.

Of course there is intelligent life elsewhere besides here on Earth.

In my opinion, it would be incredibly naive to postulate that we humans are the only forms of life in the vastness of the universe. However, just as with us humans, whether we and other intelligent life are a result of natural evolution or a product of directed panspermia is another discussion that is just as intriguing.

Its practically imposible for it not to be since there are so many planets and stars out there.

Yes, and anyone who says no is either stupid or stubborn to accept it. With the trillions of planets in the universe it's obvious there is other life out there.

They do think that one of the moons in our Solar System may have an underwater ocean that could contain life similar to that of our deep water life here on Earth actually.

Is it possible for our sea life to live on the surface of a planet or moon without having an atmosphere though? Like if we some how went to a planet with decent gravity, made a lake and put fish in it, would they survive?

[QUOTE="sune_Gem"]

[QUOTE="Inconsistancy"] Two moons, Europa (Jupiter) and Enceladus (Saturn) both seem to have liquid water under their icy surfaces. And Titan(Saturn) has a thick atmosphere, liquid hydrocarbon lakes on its surface and is larger than Mercury, though less massive.

So how is there water on these moons, or believed to be so? Does it have some form of atmosphere on them?

I didn't pay attention in science. :P

It's ice at the surface, that acts as(well, is) an atmosphere for the water under it.

The boiling point of a liquid is when the ambient pressure is = the vapor pressure of the liquid, but since space is a near vacuum the ambient pressure is always too low for water to not boil (assuming it's hot enough to be a liquid).

Sort of like CO2, it doesn't have a liquid state on Earth (at normal atmospheric pressure), it's either a solid, or a gas, pressure's too low to make it a liquid.

Well, the tally sure is in favour of yes. I'm still uncertain myself. The odds seem likely, but for what ever reason I can't bring myself to think there's another planet that had the exact same evolutionary experience as Earth.

sune_Gem

if there was a planet with the same atmosphere and the same gravity and temperature, life that formed would probably at least develop similar features

Europa (a satellite of Jupiter) is thought to contain liquid water under its icy surface, but the idea of it supporting life is nothing more than speculation with no evidence for it at this point (and liquid water hasn't even been positively confirmed yet).

Most likely.

Though they probably took one look at us and said "No thanks" :P

MannyDelgado

[QUOTE="MannyDelgado"][QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"] The same applies to belief in God, though...and saying that about non-theists won't exactly go well. :PShadowsDemon

Hardly, but whatever floats that boat

[QUOTE="MannyDelgado"][QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"]

Find a planet of ~the same composition and location as Earth, with an Oxygen rich atmosphere, then we've almost certainly found life. And that's just life as we know it, standard Earth-like conditions. Maybe, if we'd send more probes, we could find out if any of our Moons have life; Europa, Enceladus and Titan being the most likely candidates.

We've never observed a God-like entity. What are the conditions we could expect a God-like entity to exist? (besides in the imaginations of an intelligent species)

1 example of life, millions of examples of speciation
0 examples of God

To say with absolute confidence, that there 'is' life, may be a bit wrong, but it would be 'extremely' odd if there wasn't any other life in the universe. But to say, a belief in God is just as likely as believing there's more life in the universe, is silly.

[QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"][QUOTE="MannyDelgado"]yeah except it doesn't, at allwis3boi

Hardly, but whatever floats that boat

Just asking, if some insane scientific discovery was made that pretty much clarified that no life existed other than on Earth within our galaxy. What would your thoughts on that be?

probably.

[QUOTE="wis3boi"]

[QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"] If you want to claim that there is outside life and that anyone who disagrees is "either stupid or stubborn to accept it", then the same applies to deities. There's no direct evidence for life on other planets, just as there is no direct evidence for the existence of any deities. It's just a conclusion that one draws from observing the universe. If I'm saying you have to believe in one or the other, but from what it says the same principle applies...ShadowsDemon

Hardly, but whatever floats that boat

I know, but we and our planet are proof that life can sprout up, and the cosmos is teeming with the organic compounds for life. Then you have a few hundred billion galaxies each with a few hundred billion stars, and each of those with planets...even if it was a one in a billion chance, with the number of planets out there, a billion would have life...obviously they'd be too spread out for them to come into contact. I think stuff like bacteria and whatnot are probably very common, and anything more is a lot more rare.

[QUOTE="ShadowsDemon"] I'm not saying you have to belief in one or the other or both, I'm just saying that it's somewhat of a paralleled idea. I'd love for there to be aliens. Truly, I would, but I don't think that it's that likely.ShadowsDemon
