Can life be out there in a Galaxy far far away? If yes why do you think so?

Answer 1

Your question is general. Yes, life should exist in some form somewhere out there. If you seek intelligent life, good luck. There's none here.

Beam me up Scott'y, there's no intelligent life here.

Answer 2

A reasonable response would be to say that life is known to be possible within this Universe!

Scientists are now amazed to find that life is found in conditions that were regarded as impossible, such as miles under the sea on extremely hot volcanic flues along the mid Atlantic ridge.

A "Statistical" reply would be to say that life is probable on many planets within this as well as other Galaxies.

An irrational suggestion is to propose that because it is possible for life to exist on another planet - it does!

If you want to sink into the pit of irrationality, look at books like those by Erich Von Daniken (The Chariot of the Gods and similar...) He suggests that mankind a few thousand years ago were too backward to have been responsible for some of the great artifacts of the past, so they must have had help from ALIENS!

At the moment, there is no evidence of life on other planets, intelligent life on other planets nor of visits by intelligent life forms from other planets or galaxies; exciting though the prospect is! (wink!)

Answer 3

There are so many criteria required for life to begin on a planet (distance to the star, hard core, like the earth, or gas core like Jupiter, and simply chance) that the chances appear to be very slim indeed. However, considering on one hand the rules of statistics and on the other the size of the universe, chances are that life does exist somewhere else. The question is: in what form? Just bacteria or intelligent beings? Nobody knows yet...

Answer 4

Scientists on Earth are governed by our physical attributes to the solar system we have developed in. across space, other beings are dominated by their own nucleus of events. We on Earth cannot determine whether or not life can, or cannot exist elsewhere in the the known universe because of our restraints. Just recently we have discovered life around thermal vents, almost 3 miles down in the Atlantic trench.
To extend this uncertainty across space, and time, we must look back at the cave dwellers of early man. We cant really say how we got here, let alone how life first arose!.
So who can determine whether life exists amongst the stars!?.

Answer 5

Your use of the word "life" is somewhat vauge. I could answer Yes, we have found evidence of life out there, but the only kind of life we have found has been at the microbe level, aka bacteria. Somehow I don't think that is the answer you were looking for. Now to get to what you were really asking. Sure, it is possable for other intelligent life to be out there. Will we ever know? I doubt it.. or not in our lifetime at least.

Answer 6

Yes, it can.
The same elements that make up Earth and the Solar system are present everywhere in the universe. Stars like the Sun are very common, and so are planets it seems.

Answer 7

Some scientist or other did a rough estimate using all the parameters needed to sustain life. The final answer was about 100 million planets.

Answer 8

Yes there must be some form of life out there. There are billions of planets out in space and the odds of some sort of life are pretty good.

Answer 9

Definitely! We would be stupid to think we are the only life form.
There are so many galaxies and other universes there must be other life somewhere among them

Answer 10

Yes I think so but I doubt it would be little grey humanoids with big heads and eyes! There is so much diversity on our own planet I think the Universe would have even more!
