Do u think aliens exist? And that theres life on other planets?

Answer 1

Yes I do believe that there is other life forms out side of us human beings, Why would we be the only thing in the world, with all the space out there, that we can not reach because we have not figured out how just yet.

I am not sure that they would waste their time coming here to see what we are about being that we are so much not smarter than they are, and I say that we are times behind them because they have already figured out how to travel through space & time.

I really hope that they are not as petty as we are, and selfish, and hateful, and as greedy, and as dumb as the human race is, we still have a problem dealing with each other as different cultures and races, what in the hell would we do if we ever came into encounter with a whole new species?

Answer 2

Here is my take on the subject. Look up into the night sky at all of those stars. I would think that most if not all of those stars have planets circling them. Probably over 30 planets and moons circling each star on average. Multiply 30 to 100 times however many stars are in our universe. Let's think small and say that there are only 10 trillion planets and moons in our universe. What do you think the odds are that life only exists on our planets? Could we possibly be a 10 trillion to 1 accident? Again we are thinking small here, the actual number is probably much larger. It can be said with absolutle certainty, but it seems that the chances that life and aliens do exisist is somewhere over 99.9%.

Answer 3

Yes. Why do humans think that because you don't see it, it's not there. Just because we can't see that far into space doesn't mean it's not there. We are one small planet in a universe of millions. I don't know about the fact that aliens come here, but, ya never know. I knew a guy that explained how electro-magnets worked to me and he said that the earth and all other planets have an electrical field, so why is it so crazy to say that some other being hasn't learned to use electro magnets to power a ship? Seems far fetched, but, it kinda made sense.

Answer 4

Seth Shostak, senior astronomer at the Seti Institute in Mountain View, California, said signs of intelligent life - if any existed - would be found within 20 years.

His claim was based on accepted assumptions about the chances of alien civilisations existing and on projected increases in computing power on Earth.

Mr Shostak also estimated the number of alien civilisations in the Milky Way that might be broadcasting radio signals.

He used a formula created in 1961 which includes factors such as the number of stars with planets, how many of those planets might be expected to have life, and the likelihood of life evolving to an advanced stage.

He concluded that there should be between 10,000 and a million transmitting aliens in the galaxy, according to a report in New Scientist magazine.

To find them will involve observing and inspecting radio emissions from most of the Milky Way's 100 billion stars.

The time necessary for this task can be estimated from the capabilities of planned radio telescopes - such as Seti's one-hectare Allen Telescope Array - and expected increases in the power of microchips that sift through the radio signals from space.

Within a generation, radio emissions from enough stars will be observed and analysed to find the first alien civilisation, Mr Shostak estimates.

But because they will probably be between 200 and 1,000 light years away, a radio message sent from Earth would take centuries to reach the intelligent beings who sent the incoming signal.

Prof Wickramasinghe, who has given talks to Seti, applauded the scientists' efforts.

"The criticism of this group has been to say that we've looked for intelligence for close on half a century and nothing has turned up, therefore there has to be nothing.

"I think that's an extremely false position to take.

"Forty years is too short a time to expect anything. We would be greedy if we expect the first hellos to come in the next 10 years.

"Twenty years is a more reasonable time to took forward to."

Prof Wickramasinghe is well known in astronomy circles as the proponent of a theory that the most basic elements of life drift around the cosmos and should have evolved into living organisms on other planets besides Earth.

He said Seti had the right approach to the search for extra-terrestrial intelligence, using spare resources rather than devoting big money to the project.

But Paul Shuch, executive director of the Seti League, a separate organisation in New Jersey, was unconvinced by Mr Shostak's latest prediction.

"It is altogether reasonable to project the development of human technology, based upon past trends and planned investments," he said.

"But predicting the date, the decade, or even the century of contact, is another matter because the 'other end' of the communication link is completely out of our hands.

"It would be nice to think we know something about the existence, distribution, technology and motivation of our potential communications partners in space, but in fact we don't."

Answer 5

To believe that we are the only life forms in the universe is ignorant.

There are millions of stars in the sky and as we all know the sun is a star. They have also found that some stars (suns) also have planets rotating around them...Some even have been able to locate "Jupiters." So if there are millions of suns and planets around a decent amount of them, then there is a good chance there is... somewhere out there.. another earth and or multiple earth like planets.

Who knows... we may be millions or billions of years behind the inteligence of some of the life forms and that is why they may be able to travel through space to view us.

Answer 6

Yes, I do believe that aliens exist. However, I believe that they are not what we think they are.

Of course, being that the case, yes, I think that there is life on other planets. But not on any planets in our own solar system. It is probably at a very incredible distance from us.

Answer 7

I think there is a good chance they exist. With the number of stars in the sky, and knowing many have planets, the thought that not a single one out there has life is just too unbelievable to me. Are they smart enough to avoid us? Absolutely.

Answer 8

I believe that there is life on other planets. What kind of life; I have no idea. I think it would be pretty arrogant to believe that we are the only life in our solar system.

Answer 9

I had a Spanish teacher who thought that aliens were really angels and their Ufo's were how the angels got to earth. I think she was a little crazy.

Answer 10

Yes, I think they exist. And I htink there are other planets with life.
