Think?? Are "WE" the first,in the cosmos.?

Question

Just stop and think about it.Are we the first,therefore are we the beings,that others in millenium's,wil be asking the Q .
If there is inteligent life,out there.Are they too intelligent to want to know "us"
Are we searching for that which is not there,but here,with us?

Answer 1

If there are other intelligent species in the universe, we’ll never know it. The universe is so vast, so large, that even light can’t reach all the way across it in time. Even if we were to travel at the speed of light, to reach other stars would take lifetimes! Even if we started a big colony ship over there (if we knew which way to go!) by the time their descendants got there, they would have become so mutated, they would no longer be human beings. They would have huge heads and skinny bodies from having lived in space all their lives. They would be all gray and wrinkly from exposure to cosmic radiation, because you can’t carry enough shielding to stop it and still travel fast enough to get anywhere. In fact, they probably couldn’t reproduce enough to have any survivors reach another planet.

And then if they did, why would they want to stop? They spent all their lives in space, why would they want to land where there’s gravity? Gravity is nasty, you get HURT when you fall down!

No, human beings will never reach other civilizations. And if other people visit us, they won’t want our world. Thank goodness!

Answer 2

It is logical to say no we are not the firs, the universe is over 400 billion years old, if you where to take a look at us as if we and the universe where one big building say 100 floors, we right now would be at floor 99 1/2 though 400 billion years ago was floor 1, just to give you a prospective, the dinosaur's would have lived on floor 96. And sense we are just know learning this and more about are solar system and universe you would be foolish to think we are the first, I do think there is intelligent life out there some older some younger, some may have destroyed them self's by now or just be eaten up by a black hole. So with that being said yes there is intelligent life out there and no we are not the first. And for all you bible thumpers out there do your home work and think for your selfs please, stop being brain washed. Knowing the truth is eye opening.

Answer 3

There are plenty of stars much older than our Sun.
Astronomers are discovering new "solar" systems all the time.
It seems to be quite common for a star to have a planetary system.
It is quite unlikely that we are the first and much less the only intelligent (?) creatures in the universe.
Maybe there have been no encounters yet because the distances involved are enormous, and their interest on us may be nonexistent or just scientific curiosity.
May be somebody or many had encounters but nobody will believe them. Therefore many won't even tell for fear of being ridiculous.
They may be here with us? It is also quite unlikely that the aliens will resemble humans. Life evolves in different ways everywhere.

Answer 4

Think about this..The odds there is any real life on another planet except for a few micro-forms..Is very unlikely because you would need the planet to be designed to have a upper atmosphere layers and water, and a light form with the right inner planet structure, that is not in a constant destruction by asteroids on a rotation in that solar system.) And there is more un-likely science involved in your theory of Aliens despite what was once thought from Sci-Fi movies.

Answer 5

Haha, I had not seen yours . You had posted yours like 5 min. before I had, so I was still kind of writing my question. I have the same thoughts about your question though, I just couldent seem to express all my intrest in writing. Any whooo, Sorry about that, and when you said they were the same questions in the same night, Idont think they really were, my question set out for a certian answer , totaly different then yours. Nice to know people are intrested in this stuff though.

Merry Christmas ;-)

Answer 6

Of course we are not the first. We are also not the last. The Universe is huge! There are many planets out there with life and intelligent life.

Answer 7

We are not alone,but if we are the first is no simple question.
Life could have emerged in the universe over a span of many billions of years. We could have been the first or the billionth!!

Answer 8

Have you found a piece of question with those "Three little words" on "Who are you" left behind by our creator for each and every living human kind to come up with an answer in planet of apes?
Have you notice little ET footprints coming out of the water in own backyards back home in planet of apes?
Have you notice how ET left behind a pillar of salt on leaving planet of apes?
What is the pyramids of Egypt that is glaring under the sun, moon and stars even on cloudy and rainy days is trying to tell you exposing itself out there in planet of apes.

Answer 9

Cosmo Kramer was first, how do you think he got his name, then the Alien digressed in the tirade, I'm surprised his head didn't pop off like on the fat lady on Total Recall "two weeks", see youtube for videos.

Answer 10

"Beam me up Scottie, there is no intelligent life down here". Of the billions of star formations in this universe, we are not alone!!!!!On the surface, we are a crazy bunch, so all others avoid us.
