Life on Other Planets

Hello everyone! The question is simple. Do you believe or not believe that there is life on other planets and why?

As for me, I do believe that there is life on other planets. Our universe is unimaginably huge. Considering this fact, it is really hard for me to believe that there is no other form of life other than us. Not to mention, the number of UFO sightings that have been recorded all over the world.

So what about you guys? Do you agree with me? Or do you think that a planet like earth is a chance in a million and there is no way life exists anywhere else? Or something along those lines.

Re: Life on Other Planets

well there send ing a probe to one of jupiters
moons that is iced over with water under ,
that tells me that expect to find life and i
think that its a good chance that there right plus i belive there
are life form on other planets from the planets they have found so far.

that have harsh or lethal enviroments
but we have those things here on our planet that have
organisms living in them that are almost lethal for us

Re: Life on Other Planets

My opinion, I say it's inevitable that there is life on other plants/out there. Life = bacteria, all things of that. Hell I think there is a possibility that there is life out there, almost kinda like humans (Kind of like Star Wars, just subtracing all the cool space technology stuff). Then again, who knows? Not us, that's for sure- not yet at least.

Re: Life on Other Planets

If I remember correctly, I believe that some scientists believe that the chances of the earth bein' the only planet capable of sustainin' life is 1 in a Billion against that bein' true. Meanin' that there is a greater chance that there r other life-forms on other planets than not. The real debate is whether or not those other life-forms r intelligent and capable of creatin' technology equal to or greater than our own.

Good point, so I think I will add a question to this thread. If you do believe there is life on other planets, then do you believe in the possibility of other planets having life forms as intelligent and evolved as our own if not more?

I believe it is true. But I doubt that we will find any in our life time if not for hundreds upon hundreds of years. But finding primitive life, like single celled organisoms, I truly believe we will find those much sooner.
I hear that there is another moon around... Was it Saturn or Jupiter? I think it was Saturn... Any ways its of the two gas giants that one of their moons has river and lakes of liquid Methain. But get this, the liquid Methain is not completely liquid its more like goo. Scientists are not sure as to what to classify it. Its not a solid but its sure not a liquid either. Its strange because Methain here on Earth is only found in a Gas, Liquid, or a Solid (frozen). Not something in between. Pluss it holds vast amount of organic material (Amino Acids) which very well could spawn life. The theary is that it was believed that this moon was in its early stages of developing life. I think the moon was Titen. I say if there is life in OUR solar system, the chances are very high that it would be on Titen.

Here is a hyper link for more info. Check out other sites about Titen that are more up todate.

You beat me to it, Mr. Mage! I was gonna say the same exact thing. I watched a video on PS3 that my cousin downloaded that speaks of how big the universe is and the possibility of life on other planets. I don't remember measurements, so the size of the universe I'll be leaving out; HOWEVER...

The Hubble Telescope has taken pictures of the universe as far as 70 billion lightyears away. What it captured in those picutres are hundreds of galaxies with trillions of stars inside of them. Each galaxy with it's own number of solar systems; almost each star with planets orbiting it. THAT'S OVER 600 BILLION PLANETS!!! The chances of Earth being the only planet able to sustain life are slim to none. There are just too many galaxies and too many stars with solar systems around them to say that there is no intelligent life outside of Earth.

The reason we don't know if there is life outside our own solar system is because most galaxies are hundreds of lightyears away. One single lightyear is the measurment of time it takes for the light to travel. If light takes one year to get from point A to point B, then it took one lightyear to get there. (Mind you the speed of light is a small fraction of a second.) So if a planet that has life on it is 75 billion lightyears away, by the time someone left from that planet and arrived at ours, we wouldn't even be alive. 75 billion years... We'd have probably gone through several stages of evolution by the time they would get here.

So, we can't necessarily prove the existence of life on other planets... Yet. But there will come a time where we'll have the technology to travel to other worlds without taking billions of lightyears to get there--like a worm hole or something--and we'll see with our own eyes just what lies beyond the beyond.

Re: Life on Other Planets

I believe there is life everywhere, not just Earth.

Life exists in many forms, in many places here on planet Earth. Why would anyone assume that even the possibility of life anywhere other than Earth is impossible. Such an assumption is nothing short of audacity.

For anyone to contemplate the idea that when everything came into existence as we know it, that all life forms localized themselves strictly to Earth is sheer hubris.

Doesn't matter if you follow the Big Bang theory, or any sort of theological line of creationism, life exists everywhere.

Just as there are lesser and greater forms of life on Earth, I am sure that there is life out there in the vastness of space. Life in forms lesser, equal, and possibly greater than humans here on Earth. After all at one time the dinosaurs were the chief life form of this planet.

Re: Life on Other Planets

I say yes, as we just need to find that life form somewhere in the universe, somewhere. It could even be in our own galaxy like mars. Or in a tottaly different galaxy

Re: Life on Other Planets

Well, this isn't much of a debate . Everyone's agreeing that the likelihood of there NOT being life somewhere out there is insanely small, including me.

The universe we live in is unimaginably huge. As others have mentioned, theres at least billions of other galaxies, each with billions of stars, and each of those likely to have planets of their own. Then you've got all the other pieces of debris floating around space, like asteroids, meteors, moons & so on. If we're the only living things on all these lumps of rock & other garbage floating around space, that'll make us one hell of a fluke!!

There's also another angle to think of too.
[metal panel]WARNING: SCIENCE CONTENT[/metal panel]
(Sorry, couldn't help it. Blame the Mythbusters...)
If you pick up any info on the theory designed to explain the universe called "String Theory", you'll more than likely hear them describe the possibility of other realities. I was channel surfing expecting to find music videos when I instead found a show describing how the universe is supposed to work, which kinda got me hooked since there wasn't anything else on.

The part that really stuck in my mind is that there is potentially infinite other realities out there. They describe gravity forming loops of energy, which drift between these universes, with new ones being created every time a variation happens. Say someone drops a water bomb from a higher level onto someone below. In one reality, it hits drenching the victim, while meanwhile a new one is made where they move aside at the last minute & it misses, hitting the person in charge instead. In that reality they dropper gets busted, while in the first the victim has to go home to change.

Now, with all these realities popping up, there's also the possibility we could get visitors from these other realities, where history has taken another path & technology is different. Heck, there's even the chance we could learn to pass into then directly out of one of these realities, allowing us to travel to other planets in our reality in no time. As they say in Event Horizon, the shortest distance between 2 locations is nothing...

OK, I think I've sounded geeky enough to last the year...

Re: Life on Other Planets

Ok life forms such as us i belive will be found oneday which kinda answers the question for me, yes i do belive their is diffrent life on other planets. Even now scientists have found life on mars, little insects but because there was a short river of water on the planet little creatures were able to surive there. I belive their is another earth, not a parrlel universe or anyhting like that but an earth very similar to this one. It would be strange to meet other people like us. However how do we know how big the universe is? The latest lasers and telescopes maybe so close to the edge of the universe and we don't even know it so techinaclly we cannot answer this question, but my instinct says yes.
