[QUOTE="11Marcel"]There could be, making alien life even more possible. There's so many stars and planets in the universe there could well be thousands of other planets containing life.It should be said though that the chance of life being formed on a planet where it's possible is still very small. Small in a sense of astronomically small.Vandalvideo
I don't see these as anything more than extreme hypotheticals. "We have life, therefore planets like us must necessarily have life". I'm not convinced that a mere Earth like planet necesitates life.

Like I said, the chance of life being formed on a planet that fits the bill is astronomically small. It's of course mostly guessing how big the chance is, but there's university doctors that claim the chance is so small it's pretty much not possible. Hence they are creationists.

Ghosts don't exist and time travelling is impossible.

According to Michio Kaku, there's no l scientific law that prevents it.

There might be no laws that prevent it, but no one mentioned any laws that allow it.

However, time travel has no foundation to start with. Time doesn't technically "exist". We wanted a word for the progression of life: time. It's like saying that we can love travel, or happiness travel. As for ghosts, I agree with a previous post: If scientist are trying to contact ghosts, they aren't scientists. There is nothing that can create an after-image of a living human being, which is transparent, blue or made out of ectoplasm.

I'm basically going to say what has already been said. First, time is a concept that humans made up. It only exists inside our minds. It's probably not something that's actually recorded either. Second, ghosts are also something that humans made up. They have never been proven, and since there has been no evidence of them existing since they were made up, chances are that they don't exist.

Keeping this in mind we can come to the conclusion that finding aliens would be the most probable option. I think we are closer than we think to finding alien life somewhere in our universe. Remember, when I say alien, I don't mean the green, bulgy eyed life form who travels in a UFO. Aliens can range from that (highly doubt it) to any small, microscopic organism.

Contact with aliens.The number of planets out there is practically uncountable,so it's highly unlikely there isn't at least bacteria out there.

Actually, time is a dimension just like the 3 dimensions which we call space. If you take 2 dimensions, you have a picture. Once you add another dimension (depth) you're actually creating an endless number of new 2 dimension pictures to form the 3 dimensions. If you have a 3d space that stands still, and add time, you're creating an endless number of those 3d spaces after each other. This dimension is time. Point is, we can travel through the first 3 dimensions as we want, but can we travel through time?

In this order: -Aliens -Time Travel and we'll never contact ghosts considering they don't exist and for them to exist then they'd have to go against the laws of physics. Though if you want to get picky: we've already time travelled, it involves fighter jets and flying fast, I don't have the time to explain but if you consider going a couple of seconds into the future successfully time travelling then we already have.

Contacting Aliens would probably come first. We dont even know all the species of animals on Earth.

There are trillions of other planets in the universe. Theres an amazing chance of life on one of those planets.

Well Val we have found that there are oceans of water on other planets.. Thats really all thats needed with volcanic activity.. Because we have found organisims that live in extremely hot enviroments that uses that as its energy and not its sun light. Now can you garentee other life exists of course not.. But its like a albino person claiming they are the only albino on the planet based on their perspective of a neightborhood they live in.. Take that to the point that our local neighborhood in the universe is way smaller, and the world is beyond comprehension in size..

Time travel would be extremely hard if done in the way I said (reversing the path and decay of al molecules in the universe to a previous form, or making them move and decay in the most likely path), aliens wouldn't be too hard, recent discoveries like wormholes, and of course the possibility of alternate universe aliens are quite possible. One thing I like about alternate universes is the fact that there could be infinite, like for any possible thing we could think of. Maybe some universes living out Half Life, or one where some of our favorite movies are real, or just one where our alternate universe doppelganger has everything they could ever want to the point of near impossibility or even one where the laws of physics don't apply the way they do here (fire goes down, bullets can curve, mile long falls don't kill etc). Seriously, just about anything is possible (in regards to the physics of that particular dimension).

Ghosts or Aliens will come first. Time Travel is still pretty far fetched.

Time travel is an odd one since we already do that. I think contacting ghosts will come first. Or at least, what we think are ghosts.

Out of all three, i believe that aliens would happen first. i mean in the whole wide universe, there is bond to be other forms of intelligent life. Ghost arent real, and time travel i seems impossible in the near future.
