Is there life other than here?

Answer 1

Ive answered this one to many times.

I dont think that intelegent life exists, but life does exist. I know that. Imagine this: A gas Giant. Nothing but clouds oif gas. Inside jupitur. How can life survive? They can float! Blimp-like creatures could fly and be hunted by gliding creatures called "sword tails", or perhaps an organism that has no mouth or nose for breathing, since it abosbs the ice on europa, and gets food by photosynthesis, on the moon of Europa. Or EVEN IN VENUS!!! There could be fat creacures that are resistant to the intence heat, and can last heavy pressure. They eat rocks and metal, and since the surface is boiling hot, they keep standing on one foot, alternating every once in a while. Great thinking, no?

Intelegent life doesn't exist as far as I know, but other forms of life, like the ones I listed, or single celled organisms, could.

My answer: Yes! Definatly. There are kinds of life that can adapt to nearly anything. Bacteria for instance. Its a huge, wide space, and Earth isnt the only planet with life. Definatly not. Earthlings adapted to life on this planet. If we were somewhere like Europa or Titan, we might not have to breate, or be resistant to very cold temperatures. Imagine that!

Answer 2

Boy, I wish that question should be answered here. But the truth is no one knows.

NASA has put sensors to look for signs of life on many of their probes to other planets, and so far we have no signs of life anywhere else in this solar system. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just that we haven't found anything yet.

A number of projects with the name SETI - search for extraterrestrial intelligence - exist, both privately and government-funded. So far none of these have found anything, either. The main way SETI works is using powerful radiotelescope receivers to scan the heavens for radio transmissions.

So the answer, so far, is not yes. But it's not no, either. I think the search for life beyond earth will remain important to science forever.

Answer 3

the main requirement for life to exist is stability. life can cope with a lot but it struggles with variation. i.e it can cope with veryhot or very cold but rarely both same goes for everything else. problem with space is things fluctuate a lot. life would stand a better chance underground where things are more stable, but the possibility of aboveground life somewhere must be considered given the sheer number of planets moons etc.
on earth we are the only intellgent life form, get rid of humans and you get rid of radio transmitions- an alien looking from a distance at earth would conclude there was no life here.

Answer 4

In all likelihood yes. There was a fossil from Mars discovered a few years back, and surely there must be SOME dormant bacteria in the water at the Martian pole.

However, any life as WE know it must be relatively close by in our galaxy - we have been able to detect enormous and frequent gamma radiation bursts that have traveled all the way from the edge of our galaxy. Bursts of such great strength to be visible by Hubble would be strong enough to sterilize any form of life near it. (A method called Red Shift confirms this theory).

Answer 5

This is an unsolved mysteries. Scientists tried many times to find out life in universe other than earth. But,there is no sign of life found. Answer of your question is undetermined yet.

Answer 6

Considering the sheer size of the universe, it is egotistical to think life only exists on earth. Unfortunately, because of the vast size of the universe, we may never hear from another civilization capable of sending a message

Answer 7

Yes. All life form on earth has its definitions others are yet to be defined after discovery

Answer 8

Probably there was life elsewhere long before there was life here. But with lightspeed limitations, we may not be able to detect them for millions more years.

Answer 9

I just recently got back from Thailand, and there is definitely life there. You would never think it from the conditions, very similar to Mercury. Sure enough, there is abundant life there.

Answer 10

I'm sure there is. Isn't it rather arrogant to suppose that out of the billions of trillions of galaxies and star systems, our tiny little sun should be the only one to contain life?
