HELLO?:eek:

RichieC · 02-05-2012 01:17AM

Of course. are they here? I'd love to believe so but sadly can't.

I believe that life outside of Earth is a certainty.

The E.T. variety would be illegal too.

Oh they think they're fancy with their anal probes and their tractor beams but Mitt Romney would still send 'em back where they came from!

It'd be a little silly to think we are the only beings in a universe as vast as ours. They are probably no different to ourselves.

IM0 · 02-05-2012 01:20AM

I welcome our new alien overlords

Battered Mars Bar · 02-05-2012 01:20AM

Yea, it's only a matter time before we find bacteria on another planet, therefore proving the existence of alien life. I really hope we find a planet where they're like us only 1,000 years ahead, that would be cool. I'd be asking them to send over a Ps6000 for sure.

I heard before that there are 6 billion stars in our galaxy with planetary systems like ours... surely there is (or was) at least primitive life on some of those planets.
As for intelligent aliens/ more complex life... less likely obviously, but I believe that complex life definitely exists elsewhere in the universe, and probably in our galaxy.

Canis Lupus · 02-05-2012 01:23AM

The visiting anal probing kind, no but life outside of earth, yup. The size of the known universe is simply mind blowingly bonkers big, has to be something else somewhere. I just hope it's not the chestburster/cocoon you for food kind.

Indeed, considering the size of the universe, it seems likely that there are other planets that could sustain life. Where on the development they'd be is a hypothetical. One of little importance considering the vastness of space and how long it would take to travel between the stars.

They are probably no different to ourselves.

Can't really agree with this. Hell, if the reset button was pressed on this planet, and some event that drastically changed things here hasn't happened, say the extinction of the dinosaurs hadn't happened, or any number of other things, life on this planet would look nothing like it does now. So, our own planet being as it is isn't necessarily the only way this could have played out, and that said, how could another planet on which adaptation would play out differently be just like ours? Very anthropomorphic view

Speaking of robot lovedolls did anyone else see that episode of The Big Bang theory where the robot hand got stuck to howard's knob?

aligator_am · 02-05-2012 01:26AM

Saw a couple of Anonymous vids recently where they claimed they'd hacked in to NASA's systems and were going to release all the data, including the proven existence of advanced civilisations beyond Earth and which NASA have known about for decades.

Anon say they'll release the data in the coming weeks.

Could be a load of bollix but interesting none the less.

NakedNNettles · 02-05-2012 01:27AM

I for one welcome our new alien overlords.

My bad.

Enough already.

I come in peace, shoot to kill.

Realise that, realistically, they could be hundreds of millions of years ahead of us and you're going to be their new plaything.

A_Sober_Paddy · 02-05-2012 01:34AM

Yes I do believe there is possibly some form of live on other planets or moons(like Europa)

Eggy Baby! · 02-05-2012 01:34AM

do you believe in them?

Of course they exist. Its not a matter of belief. The question is are they close enough to warrant investigation however.

JupiterKid · 02-05-2012 01:39AM

Yes.

How arrogant of humanity to think that, one one planet of an ordinary G2 Yellow star, in a large galaxy with billions of other stars and probably trillions of planets around these stars, that we are the only example of intelligent life that has developed technology.

emo72 · 02-05-2012 01:44AM

waiting for the day when i log on to after hours and see the thread title " MOTHERSHIP LANDS IN MEXICO" or some such city. communication will probably break down and the net will be taken off line.
that'll be mad.

I'd be betting a lot of intelligent aliens around the universe would have found a shape similar to us. It is great for running, sitting and walking, and frees up our hands.

Possibly, but maybe there's elements in other galaxies that don't exist in this one. Maybe life doesn't need things like light or water to exist. I believe there's some bacteria that can survive in sulfuric acid alone happy out.

So maybe other life forms could be entirely composed of gas and electrical currents and other such fantastical things I can't comprehend in my limited capacity.

Ha, thats a good one. Would you reckon they have noses like ours too? To better support glasses? :pac:

Just in case your post wasn't a joke, or alternatively for the benefit of people who take this perspective seriously, how life evolves doesn't happen in a way approximating how one would go window shopping. Life adapts. If we weren't bipeds you would find our technology would reflect that. And this idea extends beyond technology to all aspects of life.

have you seen what sulphuric acid does to sugar ?

sucks the water out it, all the water, you are left with just carbon
bacteria can live in acidic conditions but not at stupidly extreme ones

you are proposing new elements when life here only uses a hand full of them

carbon is rare on earth but life is based on it

blatantrereg · 02-05-2012 01:57AM

It is absurd to think that there are not aliens. Given the size of the universe, why would earth be the only place with life?

The chances of them ever coming into contact with us are probably infinitesimal though. Again - huge universe. Lots of space.

Aliens .......?
