How advanced is life outside of our solar system (carbon based or not)?

Answer 1

When ı go there ı will make you know

Answer 2

The universe is to vast for our planet to be the only one that has developed life. Chances are that the universe is abound with life some of it simple, like single cell bacteria, but here is most defiantly other intelligent life out there. There is most likely life forms that are way more evolved than us, so evolved that they may not even be recognizable as life at all. The life span of a star like ours is 8-10 billion years so our star has 3-5 billion years to go . Humans have been around a relatively short time and look how far we have come. Add another few billion years onto that and there is no telling what life on earth may look like. Chances are that there are allot of planets out there that are in the 6-7 billion year old range that will be very advanced, Although I don't think that other life would be traveling like it shows in the sci fi movies. If they are it is probably a one way trip for the travelers due to the vast distances between the stars. If any life has figured out how to attain the speed needed to travel the great distances they would still have to contend with the fact that time slows down as you go faster. So that if they leave on a 20 year mission by the time they got back there planet may not even be there.

Answer 3

I would say that our evolution was remarkable, but probably never happen again the way it did on our planet. We were lucky enough (or unlucky depending on your view) to evolve enough to have the ability to ask "is there life on other worlds? If so what are they like?".

Remember that it was mere chance they we evolved the way we have. We need to know more about how evolution works to answer accurately your question of "how advance is life outside of our solar system".

The drake equation is good, but unfortunately we still do not know enough to get an accurate depiction of life on other worlds (intelligent or not). The problem lies in that we do not know the facts. We have to guess at everyone one of these probabilities. It just as easy to guess one way and assume there are thousands of civilizations or guess another way say there is only one.

So basically we can not answer your question. There is not enough empirical evidence right now to say one way or another.

Answer 4

There's no way for us to tell. Any guesses are purely speculative and there would be no proof either way. They could be infinitely more advanced or just our equivilant of bacteria. For all we know there's no life at all outside of our solar system (which given the size of the Universe, I find unlikely).

Answer 5

Ok, this is the Drake Equation. For those of you who don't know it.
R * Fp * Ne * Fl * Fi * Fc*L = N.
What this means is,
R = the number of suitable stars, stars like the sun that form in a galaxy per year
Fp = the fraction of these stars that have planets 1=100% .25=25%

Ne= Number of earthlike planets meaning liquid water within each planetary system.

Fl= The fraction of planets with life

Fi= fraction where intelligent life develops

Fc= fraction where life develops communication

L= lifetime in years of a communicative civ

N= the number of communicative civ in the galaxy

Answer 6

The possibilities may be endless, given the size of what's outside our solar system. About 100 billion stars in our galaxy alone, and trillions of galaxies out there. We'll probably never know.

Answer 7

When we find life outside of our solar system, or within, I'll let you know.

Answer 8

Very Advanced Indeed

Answer 9

To answer this one we need Yahoo to organize a website called Ask The Universe.

Answer 10

we havn'et discovered any intelligent life outside our solar system yet, we don't know if they exist or not

Answer 11

No life that we know of. May be some at bacterial stage. Nothing to be excited about.
