Is their a life like ours somewhere in space??

Answer 1

I think there is, but not too many "earth" like planets, if any.

Think about this, we know for a fact that a simple 500-1000 miles of distance, causes dramatic changes in our temps, like going from Southern California to Washington, not only will it be cooler, but there is more sun light, or not, depending on the time of year, or "season".

The point is, Earth is just the right distance from our "sun" to sustain life! Earth happens to have all the needed elements to sustain life (oxygen, carbon, water, etc.)

So, though I really do believe there has to be life elsewhere, I think that what we know OF "life" would seriously narrow the odds of there being lots of other life throughout the Galaxy, as we know it.

I think one can conclude that there actually may even be "Aliens" that are in fact a "life form" but not as we know it, maybe they have super oxygen, or an isotope of carbon, or something of more or even less abundance that causes them to think, look, and even act different than "life" as we know it.

Even then, I'm guessing that ANY life form needs the sun or a sun, and so that would seriously narrow life out there? Make sense? :)

Also, for those that are familiar with the periodic table, look at how different two metals can be by a change of 1 electron! Says a lot, doesn't it? :)

Answer 2

I honestly believe there is more life than just us in this universe, we just haven't been able to look far enough yet, i don't think its just like our i believe that there are some places more advanced then us, and some places that are not quite as far along as us. there is too much room out there in space for it to only be us and you know there are other civilizations out there somewhere that just know that they are the only ones out there and that we don't exist. And people don't believe in Aliens but i believe that they are just humans simply evolved, and a hell of a lot smarter then us. But that's just my opinion on the subject and i know there will be many that disagree and many that think i am right on, but that's why its an opinion.

Answer 3

I hope there is intelligent life in space. I hope they are not like us of we could be in trouble. But I doubt there is any life in space except for humans orbiting this planet. There are too many variables. Plus we have no idea how non-life forms into real life inspite of what science claims they can form in a test tube. Real life is past our current understanding. I think God likely made us as a special creation. But again, I hope there IS life in space.

Answer 4

There are 100 billion stars like our "sun" in our milkyway galaxy itself.

There are 100 billions galaxies like our milkyway in this universe.

And each of these star can have multiple planets......

If there is no "intelligent life" else where that would be the most unbelievable thing in this universe.

So the probability is there must be "millions" of planets on which life exists at given point in time. Remember our universe is 15 billion years old and life on earth has existed for just a few million years....

Answer 5

I believe so, There is life everywhere. We are not the only planet with life, it might not be with life as WE know it. I dont think they are necessarily humans, but there could be. Maybe the life form is more intelligent than we are, and I'm sure there are worlds with life forms less intellingent than we are. Space is never ending, there are thousands of galaxys and in them billions of stars. I am sure there are other life forms out there.

peace and love your way.

Answer 6

The answer is best described by the Drake Equation. It takes the total number of stars in the universe, then multiplies by factors such as fraction that have planets, fraction of planets that are habitable, etc. It's fairly simple, but does a great job indicating how many "intelligent" civilizations are in the universe at any given time.

Answer 7

There is no objective evidence one way or another. So all you will get here are peoples' individual opinions, some educated, and some not. But there is no definite answer, not even from the SETI institute people.

Btw, do you wonder if this question has been asked before here at Yahoo Answers? There is a definite answer to that, and that answer is many times before.

The answer mentioning the Drake Equation is the most educated and the one I would choose. But even that is inconclusive.

Answer 8

"Like us" in appearance?

Almost certainly not. Too many randome events and turns of fate went into the evolution of our physical form.

"Like us" in terms of intelligence?

Possibly.

But since aliens will have alien bodies, they will have alien drives, emotional needs and perceptions.

Think how differently men and women think and they are from the same species!

Think how different your personality is compared to a lion or a dolphin or an octopus.

An alien is likely to have thoughts as dissimilar to ours as we have with the animal forms least related to us on Earth.

Our closest relations with an alien mind is likely to be with Artificial Intelligences we create.

Maybe THEY will help us understand aliens! (Or women for that matter...)

Answer 9

Ther is life like ours orbiting the earth right now. Have you heard of the international space station. That is in space.

Answer 10

Probably.
There are 200 billion stars in our galaxy, and there are more galaxies out there than there are stars in our galaxy.

chances are that we're not completely unique

however, the distances are so great, that we'll never see or have contact with any other.
