I just proved that there is life on other planets?

Question

Ok i Wanna ask there's a never ending Universe out there try to imagen that never ending! some galaxy's as we speek might be forming and their is a chance that since the universe is non-ending that their is an exact same galaxy as ours formed who knows there is a postive chance that there is life out there we other wise i can't accept that we are alone in an never ending universe what do you think? keep in mind never ending and also keep in mind the universe stars us your kitty the sun was all made by the same thing the "big bang" every thing

Answer 1

Your liberal use of the phrase never-ending is quaint, not necessarily accurate.

As far as we know, there is a finite number of galaxies, not an infinite number,

Answer 2

Of course there is an end to the universe... if you believe that the Big Bang occured then the first photon emitted in the Big Bang has a location in space, and this location is, for all intents and purposes, the end of the Universe. Nothing has traveled further and nothing ever will (assuming that tachyons don't exist, of course). So there must be a finite number of galaxies in a finite Universe.

You may ask, well cant space expand (look into inflationary theory for more) without the presence of matter or light? It sure can, but if you cant get there and you cant see it and it has no influence (gravitational or otherwise), then it may as well not exist.

Now about the proof for existence of life. While probable because of the vastness of space (there have actually been calculations performed to determine the chances that intelligent life exists somewhere in this Universe, and odds are it does!) there is still no definitive proof. I agree that if the Universe is infinite that life absolutely must exist somewhere else because there are an infinite number of possibilities (which really gets strange when you start performing calculations on the chances of life... if you start with infinity planets then you also must conclude that there are an infinite number of planets with life, although this infinite number is less than the total infinte number of planets... see why infinity just doesnt work?).

So no, I am afraid you have not proved that life exists somewhere else. Chances are it does, but since the Universe is not infinite, it may not.

Answer 3

You are making an if logic statement.

If the universe was never ending, then the infinite distrubutions of our known amount of planets with life which is = 1 can be divided into an amount of space regarded as Infinite. Thus, the equation says there would be an infinite number as well. Not only that, but the equation would state that theres an infinite number of planets that are exactly as this one is, down to every same person with the same name and all historic events occured at the same time.

Thats a big if, though.. since we don't know that space is infinite for sure. Therefore, we can't prove it.

Your idea has been tossed around before by scientists.

Answer 4

Well, I just have to laugh at your question and your rather loosely knit theories which arrive at some kind of conclusion which has no relation to the suggested facts.

This idea of non-ending...Now there is a unique term. Did you dream that one up? No problem if you cannot accept something. There is not one single reason why you should buy into a theory that you don't accept.

However, I would, if I were you, do some serious study at the local library on Outer Space, distant galaxies, and so forth. I don't think you have a real good grip on all of it yet.

hubblesite.org has some really neat photos of far distant galaxies that may just give you a glimpse of what is out there.

Answer 5

how is that a question? anyways, I found a very unique theory. You might know that any situation as infinite possibilities leading to the so called parallel universes. Based on our choice we are jumping into different universes. In essence this is what the universe is all over. its same everywhere. When we observe a Quasar that is so far out that it has stopped existing already, the same thing is seen from that Quasar. Basically the Universe is full of the same thing again and again. We already have seen visitors from other places - who? us only except that we simply fit into that reality as soon as we choose or make a decision.

Answer 6

Indeed logic would suggest there is life elsewhere in the universe. As far as proof, well..... that's on down the line.
There certainly is a finite number of planets that would support life as we know it. We simply don't have the capability to calculate that number at this time. I'm sure the number is more than most realize. All we can do is theorize and "guesstimate" as to all the possibilities. I do think it is very foolish to think that we are the only intelligent lifeforms (outside of religious entities) that exist. Within a relatively short period of time, we will have proof of some sort of intelligent life on other planets, maybe other dimensions.
Right now, we have enough to worry about trying to salvage what's left of this planet and keep it viable for us. Certainly explore other solar systems and planets, but please save ours. Our planet should be a priority.

Answer 7

Drakes equation would suggest there is life on other planets even without making all the assumptions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation

Even with very conservative values, the number is greater then one, us. It is not unreasonable to think life exist on other planets. Whether that life can jump in a ship and come to Earth is another question indeed.

Answer 8

The universe is finite, not infinite.

The universe has no edge, just like the surface of the Earth has no edge but is finite in size. You can count all the square miles on Earth but never fall off the edge. In an analogous manner, you could count all the cubic light years in the universe but never find any edge. Or any center.

Answer 9

You've got a lot of assumptions that you are regulating to the status of being true. You might want to rethink your premise before making any declarations.

Answer 10

the Universe is a super-organism
