Do you believe that there are other solar systems with more intellectual than earth people?

Answer 1

Hi Yama!

First, you have to find extraterrestrial life.

But beyond that, it's a huge jump to suppose that intelligence is going to develop.

A lot of people suppose that, since it happened here, it's inevitable that the same will have happened in other places. But as far as we can tell, over the entire time of the earth, intelligence to the human level and capable of expression in the form of tools and communication has happened just once, and it took more than four billion years. Intelligence like ours may be a huge fluke.

If observers from a planet 80 million light years away could view the earth, they would see that there's lots of multi-cellular life and big organisms, but no intelligence at all. From their perspective, they would probably conculde that intelligence confers no survival advantage and therefore never developed and is not likely to advance.

If today you asked the insects whether intelligence is the way of the future, their spokes-bug would yawn, remind you that they've been going strong for hundreds of millions of years and will survive humanity when it blows itself up, and finish the interview with a question about how many tens of thousands of offspring you've personally borne.

Answer 2

My views are different from Anne Marie's...... I believe it is almost certain that there ought to be life forms elsewhere and very likely that there could be more intelligent and advanced species too.

I believe that intelligence develops once security is ensured. Therefore it is a step up after survival is in control. Therefore, in the process of evolution, development of intelligence is an inevitable stage beyond the primary stage of survival and regeneration.

Considering the age of our solar system in comparison to the hugely longer time period of the universe in existence, it does seem highly probable that somewhere else in this universe, not only would many life forms be flourishing but also would most likely have a highly intelligent species beyond our level... but such species could perhaps be only one in a system, because it would not allow any other species to develop that way as we have ensured here on earth.

But of course, we can only speculate and time has not yet come for us to know one way or the other.

Answer 3

Most life on Earth is not intelligent. As Anne Marie rightly points out, intelligence such as ours may be unique, or extremely rare. The arguments between the existence of intelligence and the lack of evidence for it, given the age of the Universe, forms the basis of the Fermi paradox (see link). In short - Since the universe is so old, and if the Earth is so ordinary, other Earth-like conditions must have arisen on other planets, within the last 14 billion years. Why is there no evidence of any such civilisations? Unless they all died out, they must have been spreading across the galaxy for quite a while.
The fact that there is no evidence of such civilisations suggests that, either Earth is unique or extremely rare, or the development of technology is extremely rare, or unique.

Major Discovery: New Planet Could Harbor Water and Life

An Earth-like planet spotted outside our solar system is the first found that could support liquid water and harbor life, scientists announced today.

Liquid water is a key ingredient for life as we know it. The newfound planet is located at the "Goldilocks" distance-not too close and not too far from its star to keep water on its surface from freezing or vaporizing away.

And while astronomers are not yet able to look for signs of biology on the planet, the discovery is a milestone in planet detection and the search for extraterrestrial life, one with the potential to profoundly change our outlook on the universe.

Answer 5

yeah!! I do believe it because it depends solely on the age of the solar system and how long it has been in existence.There may be many other solar systems which are much older than ours and there is also a possibility of life in them.The living beings may be much more advanced living species who might have surpassed us in knowledge.

Answer 6

please read this:
because of the vast number of planets in the universe and considering that a fairly large number of interactions on the molecular level take place on them and the probability of an interaction taking place which leads to the formation of large molecules that are capable of reproducing, sustaining in an ordered manner(in short, living) is very high. this is what led to our existence. and maybe evolution will lead to one(or more) supreme species like we are on earth. the question is that is the life of the planet sufficient to let them evolve further than us? and maybe there are many planets which have some species superior to us if they have been evolving more than us in time or rate or both.

Answer 7

It is entirely possible, very probable even, for the space has apparently no end and to think we're the only intellectual form of life would simply be preposterous !

Answer 8

There are many intelligent,technological societies out there.
They are likely based on DNA not too different from ours.
They probably parallel us in many ways,intelligence being one of them.
We have never heard from them which indicates they may be very short lived.
With a life span of from 200 to 450 years their intelligence may never vary much from what we are.

Answer 9

Oh, yeah.

Even if your used to being the smartest person in the room,

you aren't the smartest person in the stadium.

It's a big universe.

Answer 10

No, I dont think that coz we are the most intelectual people in the universe
