Are we alone or alien life exists somewhere else?

Question

I read an article the other claiming that the "homo Sapien" has been around for only 40.000 years and that we started to have our first computer in 1940. We are barely at the beginning of the computer technology. 250 years ago we had no cars etc.. Our ancestor a few millions years ago were playing with the monkeys in the trees. Anyways All that to say that we might not be that advanced comparing to a possible alien life out there. Our planet is a young planet. What if their technology is a few million years in advanced that ours?/ How can we communicate? What i their technology is 1 billion year in advanced of ours , could they be those angels & God that we are praying so much? Is life a real accident or the consequences of an alien plan? Are we studied?

Why they need to study us? Well we have populated our ocean our breathing air , scientist believe that in 200 years Earth won't be a place to live anymore because of the high pollution that we have done., We are destroying our ocean resources , species are have been extincted . Our w heater are leading to more tornadoes because of our global warming. If you earth is in troubles then maybe Eart is part of the big picture? We are all connected including the Universe. If we are destroying Earth it will impact the Universe and any Alien life. They might try to warn us !!!

Answer 1

Like who the piss would know that? Do you really think someone out there has the knowlege, and they are on YA, and they WANT to share that knowledge with you, a stranger? Go talk to Carl Sagan, and if you do, then you know things aint right, coz he's dead.

Answer 2

Well at this point we have no Evidence of any other life no other than humans and animals,anyways this is year 2007 wich means we are just beggining to understand computers and we are also biggining to understand our own planet..besides we don't have the a high tech micro scope or some other device to look billions and billions of light years alway from Earth so at this momment we can't really say there is any aliens and even if people claim they saw a UFO it hard to believe because we need proof.

The reason Nasa havent found anything yet is because they dont have enough speed and do you know how much fuel we will need remember if you go faster than time you can age quicker and for now there isin't any results on any of these topics but you can try waching the Discovery Channel and see what they have to say..

Answer 3

It is completely unreasonable to believe that life is unique the Earth. The sun is a single star in the Milky Way Galaxy, a galaxy that 100 billion other stars call home. The Milky Way is one of hundreds of billions of galaxies in the Universe, each consisting of 100 billion or more stars. Those numbers are conservative estimates, but even going by them there are at least 10^22 stars in the Universe. (Try writing out that number, it looks something like 10000000000000000000000 give or take a zero). Each of those stars has a chance of having planets that could harbor life. Even if the chance of life occurring was 1 in 1 trillion it would still be occurring MANY times across the entire Universe. Put simply, there is no doubt that life exists somewhere else. We will likely never encounter it though.

Answer 4

infinite universe - infinite possibilities.

Talking about aliens...how do you know they are still in the "civilization level", remember that even our "humanity" has been around on our earth long before the beginning of civilized society. So, it is very common the aliens to be either some AI robots or on the other hand- some monkeys with zero intelect :).

Another interesting point to think about is...if the civilization can last enough, probably every civilization destroys itself with atomic war or global warming? We still don't know that :). If the every civilization has a tragic end, then probably the aliens never have the oppurtunity to explore other worlds.

And you also might think how they will travel to us? Is it possible speed faster than light? Or other way of traveling? We still cannot proove that.

And at the end we still don't know for sure if our humans ability to think is something unique?

But as I said: infinite universe- infinite possibilites ( "Credo quia absurdum" - "I believe it because its absurd" :)) - (latin afforism )

Answer 5

Your questions are the topics of philosophy. The species known as "Homo Sapien (Cro-Magnon)" has been dated to 40,000 years ago, yes. The electronic computer does date to early 1940s. Some of the cynics say that man created God in his own image rather than vice versa. The idea that the leaps in human intellegence were due to alien intervention have not held up too well under unbiased investigation (remember, if believe something is true, it is easy to accept evidence that supports our belief). In the end, the only being who studies us is God; the Book of Deuteronomy states that God has given us a blessing or a curse and it is for us to decide which we choose and to bear the consequences of a wrong decision.

Answer 6

According to Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, earth was created to find the ultimate question about life, the universe, and everything. We know the answer is 42, but we don't know the question. The race of aliens that had the earth created are here on earth disguised at white mice. So watch out around those white mice.

Answer 7

If Einstein's Theory of Relativity is correct, then matter can not travel faster than the speed of light (186,000 miles per second), and the nearest stars to ours are so distant from us that those distances are measured in light years. Those who profess to believe in UFOs contend that the aliens are from incredibly advanced societies which have developed alternative means of space travel. Unless that is true, although there are surely many many solar systems such as ours scattered about the Universe, with planets capable of evolving human life, they are relatively uncommon and are so unimaginably far away that very probably we shall never have any means of communicating with them, much less of visiting them, however advanced we may become intellectually in the future.

Answer 8

Personally I think that people who think that we are the only life in the universe are very narrow minded. I personally got to see the UFO go over-head and then it later crashed in Kecksburg,PA when I was 8 years old! It was a big orange fire-ball with a long tail of fire. I read about it in the paper the following morning when my mother showed it to me. This universe is way to big for us to be the only living thing out there. Noone really knows the answer to your questions but we could very easily be studied just like we study micro-organisms under a microcope. We could be an experiment in a big crystal ball!.ooooEEEEEEoooooowwwwww...lol.

Answer 9

First of all, I think it's very funny that Yahoo censors out the word h.o.m.o. To answer your question though, I think alien life does exist in some distant solar system far far away. Our universe is so incomprehensibly large and to deny the possibility of alien life would be ignorant. I think life does exist elsewhere, maybe not INTELLIGENT life, but certainly life. I do not believe that these aliens are capable of coming to our planet, however. I think Einstein proved that it is impossible to travel faster than the speed of light. Given this and realizing that the closest solar system to us, Alpha Centauri, is like 2.6 light years away, I think it's highly inprobable that aliens can come to our Earth. Therefore, I don't think aliens are going to want to travel here from untold lightyears away just to leave crop circles and probe the human race. Hell, if they're so advanced, why do they need to study us?

Answer 10

Yes there maybe other life. Earth is a very young and in my opnion we could be more evolved. We maybe being observed by a more advanced society. They may not be the angels and God they may look just like us with bigger brains and maybe a sence of equality for all races.
They may warn us but if they are in another galaxy then they may not care we may be a test subject and we were just pawns in a chess game. They may have wanted to see how fast we would evolve or destroy our own planet.

Answer 11

How can you expect anyone to answer those questions? A person could spend a life time looking for those answers, and understand nothing more then when he started. There are trillions of planets, stars, and moons out there. We've only looked at a pinprick of space. Theres a high chance that there's some form of life elsewhere, we might find it, we might not.
