Pentagon officially confims existence of UFOs

[SnakeBoy]

no Im asking besides aliens what else could it be?

Russians

Theres obviously more intelligent life in the universe then us. It be ignorant to think otherwise

Why do you think this?

What do you mean by intelligent?

I see the probability being something more like bacteria. It took 1.5 billion years on Earth for more complex cells to form that can actually eventually obtain some sort of nervous system that might identify itself as an individual among others? Why so damn long? And natural selection does not necessarily have to have an end product with the intelligence to identify as self.
How long do planets last to hold together biological molecules that can self replicate. The vast majority are way too hot or way too cold. They don’t even necessarily last long enough in any proper temperature to form any type of atoms that can combine to form life as we know.

I can see why there is NOT intelligent life (having a sense of self; asking what the am I?) anywhere else. And It does not mean we took a miracle to produce either. For me it’s just too easy to say well based on probability and the size of the universe.., this is a physicist way of looking at “intelligent” life. I see something, anything like us, based on time for conditions to stay proper, and then the fact it took so damn long to produce the simplest of the beginning of complex cells here. 1.5 billion years for SINGLE CELL Eukaryotes... why?

And I could be dead wrong, but based on what we know right now... I can see a No.

Sorry...

Never should have napped today.

I think it's absolutely probable there is life around the universe but I think it's very very possible if not probable we are the highest order of intelligent beings in the known universe, Earth included.

Even if there are more intelligent beings out there, the odds of them coming to our dust speck are so ridiculously low of getting here when you start factoring in all the things that would be required for them to get here.

Yea and if they did we sure as wouldnt want to meet them...Such advanced aliens would perhaps become nomads, looking to conquer and colonize whatever planets they can reach," Hawking said in the do entary, Into the Universe with Stephen Hawking.

Sure we could assume they're a 1600s euro empire

This is too far. I'll give you maybe the most advanced in the galaxy at best, but universe? That's just absurd, tbh.

thats actually absolutely very improbable. the universe is hundreds of millions years old we are just a millsecond old in the universes clock.

In the known universe? I don't know why anyone would think it's absurd to think we're the highest order of intelligent beings in the visible universe. Somebody has to be.

Actually the universe is ~13+ billion years old and life on Earth has been around for ~3.5+ billion years.

"Oxford University researchers run the numbers and conclude intelligent life beyond Earth is highly unlikely."

You really don't know why anyone would find it absurd to believe that - in an observable universe that was here billions of years before us - with an estimated 100 billion trillion stars that we're the highest order of intelligent beings in said universe?

and life of human civilization is not even a millisecond off that

thanks for helping my case

exactly

“but we are humans are alone i. the universe because god created us”


its almost as bad as believing god created the universe tbqh

Well sure, tin foil hatters will call it absurd.

Email the guys at Oxford mentioned in the link and let them know how you pwned them.

life elsewhere =/= intelligent life capable of intergalactic travel

[hater]

we already have a very good idea that there are about 40 billion earth like planets in the milky way only.

if .0001% of them went the way of earth to evolve life, thats what? 4 million planets?

and what if 10% of those planets evolved life more than 100 thousand years earlier than earth??

yeah no chance of us not being the smartest civilization

you dont know that intelligence is the natural path of evolution. could just be very efficient single celled organisms. evolution is drive by the environment, so intelligence would only really come about if the cir stances favored it. could have plenty of planets thriving with life, with none of them as intelligent as mammals here. its pure guesswork with no real evidence

Evolution often favors intelligence. We have lower forms of intelligence thriving here on our own planet. It is not likely that there isn't at least a slightly more intelligent civilization out there.

it may, it may not. depends on what cir stances arise. could just be bacteria like organisms thriving just fine
