Do you believe in Aliens ?

Question

Do you think we are the only intelligent life ? Do you believe in the "mirror theory" - (a theory that the other side of the sun is an identical solar system w/ more humans ? ) What are your beliefs. Can you offer any research findings about this matter ?

Answer 1

I do not believe in visits from aliens to Earth, however much I wish it were true.

I do believe that we will discover distant planets with life on them within the next 15-25 years.

I think that intelligent life is likely extremely rare and therfore likely to be too far to detect even with forseable advances in technology.

"Mirror theory" is a fallacy. There is something called a Lagrange Point which is a gravitational "balancing point" where if a small object like a space ship or asteroid were to find itself opposite the earth on the same orbital plane it could maintain its place in relative stability.

However this "relative stability" would be disrupted by the motions of other planets in the solar system. As someone else has pointed out, it is impossible for two planets to form in the same orbital plane.

Drake's Equation (link below) will demonstrate how very unlikely it is for there to be more than a handful of intelligent civilizations in the galaxy.

link for Lagrange point as well.

Answer 2

I don't "believe" in aliens. Statistically it is likely that life exists elsewhere in the universe, statistically it is unlikely that they have come here. There is no evidence of visitation.

There cannot be another Earth behind the sun because two planets cannot form in the same orbit. The very forces that allow planets to form disallow two to form in the same plane and distance- the largest body will always absorb the smaller ones. Even if it did, the chances of identical conditions, geology and life emerging are so astronomically long as makes no odds. Mirror "theory" is no theory, but wild, unsubstantiated conjecture.

Answer 3

There are trillions of stars, galaxies, planets, solar systems, etc..Out there. Space is infinite. Given these kind of numbers I believe that there MUST be other life out there, it seems impossible to me that we are the only intelligent life that exists anywhere. Surely there must be a far more advanced species in the galaxy, perhaps much closer to being able to reach us than us to them, I think it will happen but probably not in our lifetimes. Too bad, as this question always intrigues me and I would love to be around when an answer is discovered.

Answer 4

Yes ,but a different intelligent life. See the Holy Bible.Where a description of Spirit Beings is described.

Answer 5

No, but I do not believe other alien civilizations have been here.

No, the mirror theory is absolutely false. Space probes have looked back towards Earth and not seen anything else in Earth's orbital plane.

Answer 6

I do not have prove but I am sure some where out in the universe there is extraterrestrial life. One exoplanet could be just made of mold, or bacteria growing or, some kind of human life ahead of our species that have better technology: not likely. but the mold, or bacteria growing on a planet is: very possible.

Answer 7

We orbit the sun, so we are on all sides of the sun in a years span, unless i'm misinterpreting your question. I don't believe or not believe, but ther is no proof, just like there is no proof of a god, but it doesn't mean it's impossible for either one.

Answer 8

i do not have any research but yes i do beleive in aliens/other humans because there is no way we are the only ones

Answer 9

I believe, sometimes i hope that we are not the only ones out here in this vast space.

Answer 10

yes i believe it outer worldy species .

otherwise.. the enitre rest of the galaxy would be a waste of space.
ignorant humans believe they've seen it all, but really, they havent seen anything yet.
