Do you think we are alone in the universe? It IS pretty big, isn't it?

Answer 1

The amount of stars you see on a moonless night far away from cities, is about 5-10,000. That's the number of grains of sand in a small handful of sand.

The amount of stars in our galaxy is about 100-400 billion. That is the number of grains of sand in two large dumptrucks.

The number of stars in the known universe would be greater than the number of grains of sand on all the beaches in all of the world.

If there's not other life out there, it's a awful waste of space.

Answer 2

The universe is infinite in length, breadth, height, time and scale. Anything that occurs once must occur an infinite number of times. the real issue is are the others close enough to visit us!

The Christian Bible, the Koran and many other books, cave paintings etc, have many references that can only refer to extra terrestrials and their space ships, so I must conclude that they are close enough to visit us.

Next question is "would we want to meet them?" Most of the religious references relate to one race of ET's, usually referred to by their Hebrew name "Elohim" - meaning "those that come from the stars". A careful study of the various religious texts will usually lead to the conclusion that the Elohim created us "in their image". Also some of the Elohim mated with us (Genesis Ch 6, v2) so we are really a hybrid species.

So, despite a lot of unknowns, it would seem that the Elohim are very scientifically advanced (they were doing terraform and cloning some 25,000 years ago), they like to play around, and I guess they'd have some cool stories - so I reckon I'd like to meet them!

Answer 3

This is impossible, that in infinite universe has not different planet on which it amplify to life. But it is the little probable that these two forms of life meet, because between stars which possess the planetary arrangements is huge space ( a lot of light years), and because no substance can move more quickly than light, journey last n - the years in dependence from distance. (for example: road from the Earth to the Mars ligth defeats in time 43,5 minute. Satellite, or manned ship need on this one and a halfs year(!)). In comparison from distances beyond stars meeting two forms of life come from different the ukladów planetary arrangement it is very little probable. What it does not exclude their existence.

Answer 4

i personally think we are not alone, theres too much cover up in the goverment and fbi regarding area 51,alot of people have been silenced over what they have found out etc, some of this is know as a fact.

space is a very vast area and theres a hell of a lot of universe out there, to say we are are the only ones i dont think so.ive seen some weird things in the sky and always dismissed it, lets face it if you do report seeing anyting you thought as mad, but personnally if it was out there, your never gonner know aboout it as the goverment want to prevent public panic, could you imagine it,ie something like war of the worlds christ wed all s...t our selves lol, we wouldnt have a clue how to cope. what makes me laugh if these aliens are so damn clever why do they always show there flashing lights on these so called space crafts lol, just something to make you think lol.

Answer 5

I've read many interview with sociologists who believe that to an advanced civilization we would appear to be nothing more than ants. As humans we recognize the complexity in the sociological struction of ants, but we would never try to teach them how to build or engineer...much the opposite actually...many of the the advances we've had have come from observing lower life forms and how nature itself handles objectives. To an alien race with the technologican ability to travel to stars at faster than the speed of light...we're monkeys...chimps...it's sad to think that way...but on top of that...have you looked at the world lately? Kinda looks like we're standing on the brink of WWIII...if you were an advanced alien race...and you looked at our affinity to destroy each other...would you want to visit this planet? Or would you set up a quarantine zone that says, "These people are crazy! Let them see you and they will kill you." I believe there is intelligent life out there...and quite frankly...i don't blame them for not answering our calls...

Answer 6

I feel pretty certain in saying that we are definitely not alone. A geologists from the mars rovers expeditions made a good point, that if life could have sprung up on 2 of 9 planets in one solar system, (discovery of water on Mars), http://www.marsnews.com/focus/life/ then the chances are almost 100% certain that life is abudant throughout the galaxy.

Answer 7

In 7th grade I studied this and got inside information.

In our solar system Earth is the only planet bearing life, for now, but scientists believe that Mars could definitely evolve enough for life forms (even humans) to live there.

Scientists and Astronomers have used satelites for years searching through space looking for other life forms, radio waves, and radio signals from other life forms and inteligent life forms.

We have infact picked up radio waves and tried to trace them back to source, but have lost the signal before we could trace them back all the way.

So, yes, there are life forms out there besides us, unless there's radio stations floating around millions of miles from us that send out their own signals.

Answer 8

No, I do not see how there can only be just us. We do not even know how big the universe is yet

Answer 9

Human beings were never intended to be lonely creatures.
An endless universe filled with planets, galaxies, stars, etc with no purpose?
makes no sense

Answer 10

I don't think we're alone...but since the distances in the universe are so incredibly vast, I don't expect us to ever meet any similarly intelligent denizens as ourselves.
