Do you think theirs alien life outside our solar system?

Question

like aliens in the world.

Answer 1

alien life yes. intelligent? not convinced

Answer 2

Read this carefully and if you must read it again :
Do you think that we Humans are the only ones in the universe ? According to me there is definately aliens (intelligent life) out there somewhere in the universe. The universe is a huge place and even bigger than you can imagine. You must have heard of large satellite dishes and radio atennas and so on in several places on earth concerned with contacts with aliens. Now, do you think people and the government would waste soo much money on building those antennas and dishes for some thing they don't know exist or not ? The answer is 'the government is 100% sure that their is intelligent life out there some where and that is why they are funding such researches and the only problem they have is contacting the aliens. Now, for the second part, we humans think too much and confuse ourselves sometimes so that makes us humans think that we are superior, all powerful and some of us would also say that god has created only us to rule everything and all that nonsense... the thing is..that we humans are not the only superior beings in the the universe but one of the superior beings. Finally do you think that science, knowledge, rule and power is all destined to mankind ? NO there are other beings of different kinds too that weild knowledge and power so now I suppose this conclusion can be drawn from the above illustration that " Yes there are creatures of diiferent kinds out there and lets hope that mankind survives long enough to one day meet them. They will either prove to be enemies of our match or they might join hands with humanity."

Answer 3

The usual logic is that if life developed so easily on Earth, which is just one planet out of trillions, why wouldn't it just as easily develop on billions of other planets?

But the fallacy in that logic is that we don't know how easily life developed on Earth. It could be a rare fluke/miracle unlikely to ever happen in the first place, and even though the unlikely did happen, it could still be unlikely for it to ever happen again.

So the real answer is that we really don't know and can only guess. Until such time as we actually discover aliens, if we ever do.

We should also understand that even if there are trillions of aliens out there, it might be a million years before we meet the first one.

That sounds sad and lonely, that humans might be alone for a million years. But hey, we got each other, and we know how to party. So who needs aliens? And if we do meet them someday, all the better, the more the merrier. As long as they don't have too many bad habits.

Answer 4

So far we've seen no verifiable evidence of other sentient species. That said, I believe with some certainty that somewhere in our galaxy at some past, present, or future time, a sentient species did/does/will exist.

Why haven't we heard from them?

Perhaps they are not technologically advanced enough to be heard. They may be mastering stone knives right now, or experiencing their own Rennaisance.

Perhaps they are here right now. Any species sufficiently advanced to travel interstellar distances would be able to hide or masquerade with ease. That Boeing 737 that just flew by may be a surveillance craft.

Perhaps they are so far away they will never notice us and vice versa.

Perhaps they existed a million years ago and died out.

Perhaps they will exist a million years from now.

It is really impossible to know for sure.

The Drake Equation suggests that there is sentient life out there. The Fermi Paradox casts doubt. Play around with the calculation form at the second link and see what you think.

Answer 5

My theory is that all planets are given life (the first cell, simpliest bacteria, if you will), however, because of the position of the planets, many of the first life forms are unable to survive or evolve.
Earth is one of the few planets that are given the right cooridnation in the universe, in which the first life form are given enough sunlight (with no ozone layer, the intensity of ultravoliet light is rather high) to evolve into higher organism and later through complicated process of climbing the food chain ladder, human is born. (However, the process of evolution is still debatable, is it slow process or an instant shift?). Beside Earth, the other planets that are suitable for life form might have different source of radiation and food, therefore lead the first life form onto a different path of evolution.
I believe that's our alien, an organism that has the same ancestor as human, but through different environment, evolved differently.
However, since a planet that's suitable for life form is so rare, the next planet that contain life forms might be millions of light-years away from Earth, or more.

Answer 6

I am the perfect blend of 50% Mulder and 50% Scully without the breasts. The Mulder in me says I wanna believe but the Scully says the so call simple cell isn't so simple. It turns out they are quite complex and scientists still have no idea how they first came inot being. They have being trying to duplicate this for years without success. Then there is the whole issue of where did the information which is contained in DNA arise. Just as a computer program doesn't operate without information first being fed into it where did this complex information arise? With these questions I beat the Mulder in me into submission. Besides I think he has the hots for me.

Answer 7

I don't agree with the first answerer that it is a fact that there is life in outer space or out of our solar system.

I also don't believe it is not practicable to deny the possibility of alien lifeforms. What they are and in what form they are may be a problem for our descendents to understand. Right now, there are plenty of aliens among us...and we don't seem to be able to understand them and their needs/wants so I don't have a great deal of hope for understanding in the immediate future.

Answer 8

it's all quite possible. If you compare with the size of our solar system and galaxy, we're awful small!

the most common question would be "are we alone?" and the earth are the only known living thing on it. We can't be the only one, there gotta be more.

yes, I do think there is alien outside of our solar system, I've seen lot of flying saucer hover around in the skies. lot of people have caption the video of it, especially NASA have it. Only thing we're not sure about those saucer; where are they from?

Anything is possible

Answer 9

yes the chances of even the slightest form of alien life is very high, but i think most people dont understand that its most likely going to be a lower form like bacteria, not a race of super-aliens

Answer 10

I don't think there are "alien" aliens, but I do think there are some forms of life elsewhere in the universe, and that they may be smarter than us people are. But I do believe this is some other form of life that we have no idea exists, out there somewhere.

Answer 11

It hasn't been got here across yet, however the universe is so large. With our wisdom of ways existence starts, it is estimated there's a extreme probability that it started someplace else too. This in basic terms estimates the possibility that it starts, no longer the possibility that it could evolve into complicated creatures like people with civilizations.
