Naiwen Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Maybe been watching too many sci-fis, but I firmly personally believe that there's sentient life out there somewhere, more intelligent and/or more advanced or less developed than us, I dunno, but I believe that Aliens do exist. And I've often dreamt of a foreseeable Alien invasion of Earth as our Apocalypse, and I dunno if that's a warning sign or not but I think humanity ought to become more aware or conscious that there might be other races of sentient life out there in space. How about you? What do you think of it personally speaking TBH? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altair Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 "Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying." - Arthur C. Clarke I definitely think there is life out there but there could also could not be life. What kind of life though? What kind of advanced society would be found? Would extraterrestrial civilizations be far more developed on our own. What is the level of technology? I could definitely think intelligent life could not be common. What about life form? Maybe a life form is common that has not been studied. Unicellular life could be common in the cosmos? Will alien species be found in our lifetime? Other civilizations could be so far away that we will never be able to detect them because of the huge expanses of space. Civilizations could have yet to emerge or have died out from various causes. We could have missed an extrarestial civilization by a few thousand years. A myriad civilizations may have arisen that we will never, ever be aware of. I also think we should be looking in the past if a civilization exited before. I love the silurian hypothesis. What signs might an industrial civilization have left behind if it had been on Earth millions of years before our time? Could we still find such signs today? I also like the drake equation. It's to calculate the number (N) of sophisticated alien civilizations that are equipped with the capability to communicate their presence. R - The average rate of star creation in our galaxy. FP - The percentage of stars with planets is known. ne - is the percentage of planets that orbit their parent stars. Known as the "Goldilocks zone," which has the potential to sustain life and liquid water on the surface. FL is the percentage of planets that have the potential to support life and do so at some time. FI - The percentage of planets where life may develop into an intelligent race capable of establishing civilizations. FC - The percentage of civilizations with technology that sends out measurable signals into space is known as L -The time period over which alien civilizations send out detectable signals into space. ..

Kyng Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I suspect so. I don't have any evidence either way - but, given the sheer magnitude of the universe, I think "we are alone" is a more extraordinary claim than "we aren't alone". (However, I don't believe they have visited us 😛 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZandraJoi Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I believe they exist & that we'll find them. Or they'll want to contact us. Honestly though, I don't know why. If I was observing this planet, the wars, the way people treat each other, I wouldn't want to have any contact. With billions of planets just in our own Milky Way Galaxy, not to mention many other galaxies with their own supply of planets, you have to think there is life out there. We also have to step out of our thinking that ‘life’ may not be what WE look or act like. It’s mind-boggling the various beings, cultures that could be out there.

I agree, that we can't be the only life forms in the universe, it just doesn't seem fathomable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortie Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I do believe that there is something else out there that exists other than just humans, it's just that no one has been able to find anything to prove otherwise. There have been things that have happened in the past that are unexplained that could have been something like aliens, but again, no proof to say that it was definitely something other than a human. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
