The Universe: Possibilities of life on other planets. (56k Warning) (Poll)

The Universe

The Universe is defined as everything that physicallyexists: the entirety of space and time,

all forms of matter, energy and momentum, and the physical laws and constants that govern them.

The Universe is massive. The human mind cannot imagine or calculate how massive the universe really is.

We may never know the exact size of the Universe. Is there even an exact size at all? Who knows?

The Hubble Space Telescope (HST) site estimates there are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the universe.

There are probably billions of planets out there with life on them...

We don't know this for sure. What other life forms would YOU like to see?

I would like to see Lombaxes. A whole planet full of them. That would be so cool.

You can also post pictures if you can't really describe it in words.

Each spec of light in this image is an entire galaxy.

it's a shame the general public shows no interest in space exploration.HoldThePhone

I believe there are probably hundreds of thousands of other life forms similar to us. There are plants, animals and species being discovered on Earth still.

EDIT: We dont even know every species of planets, and animals on our own planet. Earth is huge, comparing the Universe to Earth is like comparing a penny to Earth. (I think its actually bigger, maybe even Earth compared to an atom.)

Omg guys, look what I just found!

Atoms only take up 4% of the Universe!

There is other life. To think other wise is just bloody ignorant. Hundreds of millions of galaxies with trillions of stars in each...but yeah, it's just us. I don't think so. We can see like 1% of the universe and have checked about 1% of that 1%.darklord888

I always suspected that the Dark Side was stronger.

[QUOTE="darklord888"][QUOTE="Jandurin"] I know one thing. We only know of one planet. So let's stop assuming either way.Jandurin

To think we are the only life in the universe, something so big we couldn't even grasp it it would be impossible. Even if there was a tiny 0.1% random chance that life was formed. There would still be millions of planets full of life.darklord888

MUCH MUCH Less than 1%.

More like 1/1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

We haven't even explored 1% of our own Galaxy, The Milky Way.

There are hundreds of billions of other galaxies that we can see (as far as our telescopes can see).

The whole universe has not been explored, so such claim may not be made ^_^

A supercomputer-produced cross-section of part of the universe shows galaxies as brighter dots along filaments of matter, with a sea of dark energy filling in between the galactic islands.

A ghostly ring of dark matter floating in the galaxy cluster ZwCl0024+1652, one of the strongest pieces of evidence to date for the existence of dark matter. Astronomers think the dark-matter ring was produced from a collision between two gigantic clusters.

That is neat, however I still wouldn't count on anything we generate, or a supercomputer generates at the moment. For all we know, the rest of the universe is made entirely of dark chocolate! :o

:P Yes, but we know what Chocolate is! There is no evidence supporting that 40% of the Universe is Dark Chocolate lol. :P Rikusaki

Of course there is no evidence supporting it, but for all we know, it could be .:P Just Imagine! Entire Galaxies with meteors, planets and moons made of chocolate!

[QUOTE="Jandurin"][QUOTE="darklord888"]Actually we have found hundreds of stars that could support life planets and already found 1 planet like ours only 20 light years away. That's pretty close to be such a rare object in the galaxy so close to each other.darklord888

Correction, we know what meteors near us(the earth) are made of. ;)

Chocolate theory charges onwards! :D
