You remember asking the question, "are we alone"?

Like hell.

I read this article on the Wii News Channel last night, actually (word for word).

It's pretty cool - but it sucks that it's so damn far away.

[Βyakuya]

Well it would be benificial for a person like Steven Hawking to expand human civilization there, but yes, it's too far....

[Saturn of Elemia]

It was also interesting how they said the planet rarely rotates - so one side will always be day and one will almost always be night. (Perfect for Vampires lol)

Not a big fan of the temperature range, though. (Seriously, a maximum high temperature of 160 degrees? That's hotter than Death Valley ever got - and I believe that was in the 130s)

[Larxene]

Eh, I'm sure there are other planets with life somewhere. Whether or not they're as far evolved as us, that's probably less likely. Although there's probably at least 1 other planet somewhere in the universe with intelligent life.

[Dark]

You do realize that the lifeforms being similar to humans is just speculation, right? Just because the temperatures are hotter than we are used to doesn't mean the lifeforms there could not have adapted to that. It is probably habitual for us with some precaution, but it'll take awhile to get there with our current intergalactic travel. <___<

Also, obligatory "God only made life for Earth; the other planets are just for our pleasure".

[J-Max]

There has to be life out there. Maybe even more Technologicly advanced then us. At the bare minimum there would be basic organisms.

Well, okay.

Edit: inb4 'lulz,urspammin'. It's a sarcastic remark to what I can only assume is a great over assumption on this man's part. Fortunately for him, I doubt he'll live long enough to see whether or not he was right since it's 20 light years away.

Not shocking whatsoever. I forget how the exact line goes, but given the vast size of the universe, one in a billion planets being able to house life, and one in a billion of those evolving into intelligent creatures would have millions of sentient beings.

Don't turn my topic into a religious flame war. Let it die right here and now, or get the f*** out.

[Daft Innovation]

Finally! Another planet!

All we need now is a teleportation device..

[NeoDemonX]

20 lights year is over 117 trillion miles and 5.8 trillion miles in one light year..... so if we can have a rocket that goes like 3 to 5 trillion millions per 5 years then we be their in 50 to 60 years.

[DARKPLANT RISING]

Pretty expected.
It's pretty impossible for only Earth to be the real sophisticated planet in the world. I think.

Yeah, I definitely made the quoted post and that was definitely the main point of my post. Shut up, my post obviously turned up nothing.

[JG.]

I don't remember asking it, I still do it. But yeah, I heard about this. Sounds cool.

[Maghion Syaoran Light]

You know what would really shake many religions? If the other planet dominant religion is Christianity and other than that, there is no other similar religions between the two planets

Also, what if in the new planet, the roles of whites n blacks are reversed? XD

The chance of that happening is like 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%, but I'd lol if it was.

I don't think that you grasp the concept of a different world. There won't even be people living on that planet if there's actually a species that's as smart as us in the first place. Then they could never be Christians when that entire religion revolves around something that happened on Earth. In fact, another world existing disproves many things about Christianity. Are you really young or something, because this should be easily comprehendible.

But assuming all those ridiculous things you said were true and somehow there was a human society where white and black people had a swapped role, that would be so cool. I could get into a college a black person deserved to get into because of affirmative action, I could be a racist and people wouldn't mind, and all those other funny things. Assuming that planet was currently living in our time period, that is.
