now who believes in aliens?
i do
i think it would be very arrogant of me to think we are the only inteligent lifeform or even the most intelligent lifeforms in the universe or any other universes that are out there so i do think that there is an incredibly high chance that there are aliens out there somewhere
do you think that they may of visited?
i'm not so sure on this i certainly don't think so but then why not they could of
do you believe alien abduction stories?
i don't, i think its a bit fantasist, but then ya never know
as you can probably tell i'm getting carried away now with the feeling of power at finally starting a thread that got more than 20 replies and think i'm capable of deep threads  |

I also think there must be something out there. Space is as such unchartered, so little has been visited and then with only unmanned craft.
If 'Alien' life is evolving at our rate, depending on their lifespan, ability and brain power, we may never meet for many generations |

Never really given this much thought to be honest,, i guess ignorance is bliss.
In the grand scale of the universe i think there must be something out there but doubt its in the form of little green men. |

The universe is at least 150 billion light-years in diameter and who knows what is beyond.
The odds are in favour of other life forms being somewhere out there.
May be this was just our time in this universe or may be not.
But one thing is for sure, if another life form was right at this moment looking at the earth from a planet 10 million light-years away, they wouldn't see us as we are today.... they would be looking at the Earth 10 million years ago. |

Ive been rewatching the Stargate series recently, and if there is one thing i've learnt its that there IS extra terrestrial life out there and 50% of them speak english.
Might be safe to learn Egyptian though... |

to quote the man in pink...
"The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding / in all of the directions it can whiz / as fast as it can go / the speed of light you know / twelve million miles a minute and thats the fastest speed there is / so remember when your feeling very small and insecure / how amazingly unlikely is your birth / and pray that there intelligent life somewhere up in space / cause theres bugger all down here on Earth."

Our solar system resides in the Milky Way, a galaxy of some 200-400 billion stars. And that's just our galaxy!
How many galaxies are there in the universe? Well, it can only be estimated but scientists using the Hubble telescope have put a figure on that estimation - 100bn to 1 trillion total number of galaxies, some containing as few as 10mn stars, others as much as 1trn stars.
Crunching the numbers together we can then come up with an estimated total amount of stars in the entire universe and that figure lies somewhere between 10 sextillion and 1 septillion
(1 septillion is expressed as:
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) (that's 42 zeros, British expression, US expression is 24 zeros).
So how many planets are there in the universe?
New estimates are that at least 25% of Sun-like stars have planets, so in just our own galaxy there is somewhere 50-100bn planets, and expand that to the entire universe and we come up with a figure of approximately 250trn planets revolving around Sun-like stars.
Still think we're alone? |

There are at least 10 stars for every grain of sand on the earth, some studies say 30.
If we look into space and choose a star 4 billion light years away, not that far when you consider the size of the universe.
If today a planet orbiting that star suddenly had the most basic form of life start (very basic cell), if we could travel at the speed of light and set off today, by the time we arrived those simple cells would have evolved into complex lifeforms as evolutionally developed as us.
It makes my head hurt thinking about it. We are ridiculously arrogant if we believe we are the only ones. It seems equally unlikely that we are the most advanced. |

gota say it's to much for my head, your a clever bloke. this thread has sparked somthing in my head, and now i just want to know everything about the universe. the every grain of sand thing has seriusly blew my mind. im not even being sarky. |

Has made me think a bit, I was going to say quite a slim chance given how perfect the balance of life is on earth. If the earth was on a slightly different (in the grand scheme of things) orbit distance wise away from the sun in either direction, then the planet would be too hot or too cold to have the type of atmosphere we do and wouldn't be able to support life.
If you then throw into it the chance of just a cell, or any form of life somehow being created within that atmosphere, that's pretty slim too. Not to mention the chance of that life form randomly mutating into different life forms as they have here.
Who knows though, whether different life forms can exist in different types of atmosphere? Its probable they wont be based on a similar DNA structure, so they might not be able to mutate like we have.
Now my head frazzled thinking of all the possibilities, but given Wishy's figures on how many planets or stars there are out there I changed my mind and I think it is quite likely. I think it would be an impossibility they would be anything like us though.
Why am I sat here typing this after midnight?!?!   |

I know what you mean fella, it makes you want to understand more of it. The scale is just incredible. |

Maybe that explains it!!! Dundee must be light years away as every time I look at it it seems to stuck in 1973!! I think I'm safe as in 1973 nobody had a home computer so they won't see me taking the piss! |

This'll blow your mind even further then.
In February 1933, one of Hitler's most infamous speeches - his PROCLAMATION TO THE GERMAN NATION, was broadcast by the German govt, and with radiowaves being what they are they shoot off in every direction, including into space.
The radiowave carrying that message continues to this day (although with some amount of degradation) and scientists have calculated that that signal has only just left our solar system, some 88 years later!
As it was one of the first mass broadcasts it will also be one of the most furthest to travel from our planet and any civilisation out there that stumbles upon across it will get their first impression of humanity from Adolf Hitler!
Scary thought huh? |

Here's another:
Voyagers 1 & 2 were launched in 1977 to explore the outer planets of our solar system. They accomplished this in the 1980s and were then sent on to exit our solar system completely and head out into interstellar space. Today, Voyager 1 is some 10.8bn miles from Earth and it carries with it a recording in 55 languages telling anyone who finds it all about humanity, and a map of how to get here!
Now that's truly fookin scary! |

If mankind's existence could be plotted along a timeline of the entire universe and expressed as a digital representation of 1,000 years - we would take up just 0.00001 of a second of that timeline.  |
