Ok, here we go with my theory that we are the only form of life in the universe.

Firstly we need a starting point, we need to imagine that we are not and that there IS life out there in the universe, and then ask ourselves the question - "What are the chances that we are the most advance form of that life?" Answer: SMALL (here's an after thought: even if we were the most advanced, that would mean that other life is far less advanced than us and probably as interesting as an Amoeba!

Ok, bear in mind that the earth has been around a few million years, and it's only in the last 50 years we have had the technology to go into space then what are the chances that other Alien forms of life having more advanced technology than us, and outdating our own by possibly thousands of years , Answer: HUGE.

Question, if they are so advanced, why then haven't they visited us yet? Answer cause there is no other life out there !!!!!!

Finally if you do believe in UFO's from other planets (as news reports suggest), where is the definitive proof? well the answer is there is'nt any, just like Ghosts, God and Puff the bloody magic Dragon !!!!!!!

Or.

Or.

Or.

And I may be crazy here, but hear me out....

...there is no technology to rewrite the laws of physics, and they can't break lightspeed. And thats why they haven't visited us.

Can someone fill me in as to WTF is going on?

Sleipnir · 29-03-2009 11:44PM

It's the Hubble Ultra Deep field. They pointed hubble at a seemingly empty piece of sky and left the lens cap off for ages.
The result was a photo of the outer edge of the universe i.e. at a time when the universe was very young. To explain, the universe started from the Big Bang and everything exploded out from it and it's still in the process if expanding so the stuff your seeing is the furthest away and so was the first stuff to explode away. The light photons that entered the hubble scope have been travelling for about 13 billion years. It is a photo of the oldest things in our universe. Basically.

Cool - thanks. Why didn't the OP explain that? It's not as if this is the astronomy or philosophy forum! He just attached a picture of some stars & space, and expected everyone to know that - WTF?

wikipedia's criticism wrote:

The problem, of course, is that none of the terms can be known, and most cannot even be estimated. The only way to work the equation is to fill in with guesses. [...] As a result, the Drake equation can have any value from "billions and billions" to zero. An expression that can mean anything means nothing. Speaking precisely, the Drake equation is literally meaningless...
