Why haven't we found ALIEN LIFE yet?
 

And no I'm not talking about AlienQ

We have found alien life.
It's in the White House duh.
That orange hair is not human.

WE are the aliens ...

Life is abundant throughout the Universe, there is simply too much distance between stars.

Maybe they are living Underground?

Life as in snot might exist but life as in anything intelligent I don't think so, we are the product of numerous flukes and genetic mishaps and catastrophic life ending events, it's only by chance we have lasted this long.The life killer of the universe is asteroids and collisions, any planet we look at is pitted with life exterminating impact craters and you have to go from LUCA ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_u...ommon_ancestor ) to flying out into space to stop an extinction level event before it happens, and we're not quiet there but will be soon, but then heeds another problem we're more likely to kill out ourselves than any natural event.

There's just way to many variables involved and each one of them was like a billion to one to happen in the first place and they need to happen in order.

On a side note my son and his friends taught me a new drinking game, watch Brian Cox and every time he says.. "Billions" you drink.

or we are in matrix

We have...

ooOOoooo... cool question!

Here's what I think:

Rare Earth? No. There are millions of possibilities out there.

Gaian Bottleneck: Possible. Maybe they live long enough to die thanks to technology and war.

The Great Filter: No. To assume all other possible worlds keep getting wiped out by ELE's is a little too unlikely in my opinion.

The Great Silence: No. Our own radio waves are broadcast to each other and not out to space, yet they can still be heard. It stands to reason that if they were doing the same thing, that we might detect theirs even if they weren't mean for us.

Early Birds: Possibly... I hope not, but possibly. If we started at X though, it makes sense that others might have started around the same time too, so, possible, but unlikely.

Not Life as we know it: Perhaps, but not the point. Assuming they use energy to communicate, we should be able to detect it.

A long road ahead of us, AND, In a Galaxy Far Far away: Yes to both. To me this is the the strongest reason why. We just started. The distances are also in-fucking-credibly fast that even at the speed of light, signals would take forever to get here.

I am leaning towards the DISTANCE THEORY. The universe is HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE

The mothership is coming to pick up only the believers

we might be barbarians to advanced civilizations...we kill other forms of life and consume them as food...we murder each other...we kill everything left and right...

would you contact such a race?

why?


would you bother traversing the astronomic distances just to visit some savages?


pffft....

Failed biology class did ya? Or didn't even take it?

What do you expect us to consume for food? Dirt and rocks?

we replicate food you backwards savage...can you even sci fi?

Sure! :firehair

All this on the supposition that aliens aren't already visiting us.

I think possibly rare earth. There may be other life but unless it is on a planet with a tilted axis it will evolve to narrowly subsist in its own exact, unchanging band. Exploitation, which is the driver of all evolution on our planet, can only happen because there is exactly the correct degree of variability.

Life like ours may take 14-15 billion years to evolve on a more stable planet, and may not evolve at all on a less stable planet. We will probably find single cell organisms and simple life everywhere. We may not find intelligent life or advanced species yet.

Oh I see what you were getting at.

But maybe they don't replicate food either. Maybe they will come here to eat us. :1orglaugh

Been to Hollywood Blvd ?

SETI. Hmm. To think advanced civilizations would be communicating with 1895 earth technology...yeah right. Good luck with your SETI.

But to answer your question, we don't want to find aliens! Aliens only cause mischief!

But they'd share their advanced technology with us, right? Tell me, how many times have you gone to a Special Ed class to let the students there play with your $700 smartphone? Just how smashed the hell up would your new $700 paperweight be when you got it back?

So yeah, fuck aliens. The only aliens we need are Mexicans, TYVM.

if you were to observe an ant hill would it ever occur to you to feel the need to hide yourself from them so they don't get upset by your presence or attack you? Of course not, it would be no different for anything else advanced enough to get near enough to us to look.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh



You should read more about SETI, and check out Seti@home. It's pretty cool!

The Earth has had life on it for 700 million years, man for 1 million. 120 years ago we invented the radio. In 1974 we sent the first radio signals into space.

You're waiting for another life form to develop the same way we have. Which is fucking unlikely. Even with a billion stars out there.

If an asteroid hadn't wiped out the dinosaurs, or climate change megafauna. Who knows if we would have developed? The way we are going we could destroy the Earth.

A billion stars? Holy fuck man, how many centuries has it been since you were in school?

There are 2 trillion galaxies with each one containing an average of 100 million stars.

You didn't mention immigrants...god damned immigrants!

You raised good questions. I suspect thousands of years from now, humans would wonder why their ancestors ate other sentient beings (animals).

Would they then also wonder why animals eat other animals? Or are they going to try to turn lions and other predators into vegans? :1orglaugh

even if we replicated food we are still violent savages...we fight over finances and imaginary friends in the sky...we are not worth a visit :2 cents:

Agree :thumbsup

We are programmed to think we are unique.

We are all part of the same, you are me, and I am you, we are one collective mind. You are here to mature, to pass over and mature more. Ones (y)our maker is happy you move on to the next phase, and that is NOT in this universe, so this means, YOU are the ALIEN :) and to protect ourselves from ourselves we have this thing that makes you think that you are Unique.

Life is abundant in the Universe, I have no doubt, intelligent life, not so much but I'd lay odds that there is still lots and lots of it....I keep an open mind to it all really I would not be at all surprised if one day we figure out that we actually came here from Mars, for example, Mars is a dead planet having lost its magnetic poles and thus its atmosphere its highly possible that at least some of our origins come from there but who knows.....In the end we will discover not only life but intelligent life elsewhere. Someone once said that he didn't know what scared him more, that we are alone in the universe or that we are not...I do wish I could be around for it but at 60 I find it unlikely...meantime we keep searching.

Why do you feel the need to turn science into a brand? It isn't yours, or Bill Nye's, or Einstein's, or anyone's.

Let us off the leash, lift your curses like "climate change", and we'll find alien life like we found America :thumbsup:thumbsup

I spent decades probing your women, we will let you know when we are ready to announce ourselves

You need Majestic level clearance before information about aliens from other planets is disclosed to you. You will even be introduced to different alien species working in DUMBs with the military.

Mathematically and Statistically speaking, I am CERTAIN there is alien life out there....

The problem is TECHNOLOGY.

/thread :2 cents:

We'll get there eventually before we destroy this Earth hopefully..

have a read on the fermi paradox

All in all, Hubble reveals an estimated 100 billion galaxies in the universe or so, but this number is likely to increase to about 200 billion as telescope technology in space improves.

So we were both wrong.

There undoubtfully life out there. It' about having the technology to communicate with other planets with life on them.

i was curious about that weird interstellar astroid that came through.. 'covered in organic matter'.. i mean, how complicated does 'organic matter' have to be before we can label it an alien?

chances are we're not gonna be meeting bipedals. currently the most terrifying idea i have seen for aliens is intelligent viruses

No, the problem is white people being held back by guilt narratives.

We are the ones who go forth, conquer and colonize. Unfortunately the likes of of 2MuchMark have got us in a "muh Holocaust, muh climate change, muh slavery" curse, and we need to break free from it.

Exactly what I was going to say.
