Kepler space telescope mission is to search for habitable planets and the estimate is 100 billion billion. If 1% of 1% has intelligent life that means 10 million billion civilizations


If they are out there then we are ET to them


I would love to hear their concept of God and how they stopped fighting

The science stuff is secondary

If there are so many then why cant we find them? There should be evidence in the form of radio waves. That we have not found evidence makes the belief that they are here weak.

While I don't believe we can definitively say one way or the other, certainly as is stated above, the odds are that most likely there is both life and intelligent life elsewhere in the galaxy and universe.
 
I wonder if the asteroid had not wiped out the dinosaurs if they would have become intelligent and created Dinosaur Escort Review Board ( but it would be in dinosaur language )
 
Here is one thing people forget. It's not whether life exists elsewhere, but that it exists at the same time.

Remember we have only been sending out radio waves ourselves a short time, and whether another race exists somewhere also capable at the same time and not mistaken for random radiation......

Well add in probably hundreds of other factors and the chances are pretty slim we would have definitive evidence.

Our first concern should be figuring out getting off this place.
 
Butler's right. I'm sure they are out there, but too far away or dead long ago, or, not living yet. If you believe the current science, it's almost impossible that there isn't life elsewhere. But, the likelihood of us ever knowing about it is pretty slim. Never mind Dark matter, Dark energy, and the other dimensions aspect.
 
I would like to think ET is out there but until I see him I have my doubts.

Still, all these ancient buildings with precise forms and tons of stones moved to inaccessible places ...... how the hell did this happen way in the past when we can't even duplicate these things today with our "advanced technology"? Something to think about .......
 
When we live from the next civilization, let's say half million light years, don't forget they live from here at the same distance. I know teleportation and travel faster than the lights, but are both just theories. If we build the Millenium Falcon ( what we know is the fastest spaceship in the Galaxy...lol) you still have to fly 350 thousands years to reach them.

BS IMHO. They did it with simple technology and a lot of what you hear like they had to transport a stone weighing 1000 tons then lift and place is BS

I put very likely because there is a remote chance who ever lived has already died out or their solar system is in it's early stages. We have only been able to monitor the skies in the last 100 years - a drop in the bucket of the 4.7 billion years that our solar system formed. If we could send a strong enough signal to travel far enough not to fade into the background noise - the closest star system is 4 light years away - most of the light you see in the sky is millions of light years away. It is possible that by the time something tries to signal us back - we are gone - wiped out by our own stupidity or a life terminal meteor strike that hits our planet every 75 million years or so.

We should send them your sig pic. I wonder WTF they would think of it
 
I'm 100% convinced we're not alone. I also think the government knows this, but are keeping it under wraps because they dont know how the public will react

Strength of radio signals we sent out after travelling
for maybe a few tens of light years will degrade to to
a level where all information carried is lost. By the time
these signals are picked up at a distance of hundreds
to thousands of light years away they will be
indistinguishable from background noises.

Hmm, I did not know that.
 
Yes ET is out there. We just finished dinner, and he had to go home, before he gets grounded, again. :peep:
