The Universe.

[AgentofMystery]

I was watching a very intresting show about other intellegent beings in our universe, and there was a mans theroy on there. which was there is 1 advanced society on 1 in every 500,000 star systems. which means, were not alone .

Do you agree with the theroy?

Do you think its a big pile of poop?

Discuss.

I believe in extraterrestrial life, whether it's intelligent or not, I'm not certain. But odds are that life almost certainly exists outside of Earth's bounds.

Also, I think this topic would go better in debates.

[AgentofMystery]

As much as i did'nt want this to turn into a debate, i think you're right.

But on topic, my whole view is this.

If life is classified as something as small as bacteria, or as large as some crazy world eating monster, it is, in my opinon, something that seems beyond likely, but it's just one of those things we won't know, unless it slaps us in the face... or eats us all o.o

According to the finite Improbability theorem. No matter what anyone will ever say about life there is a chance that there will be. Hell, we are actually incredible ignorant (an most likely stupid) beings. Stars could be living beings, factions of space, the need for any sort of resource like oxygen or nitrogen or water may not be needed. The simple fact is, the idea of anything outside a few select laws is all guess and imagination. We live on a 6,030 kilometer radius rock floating in a what is in essence a void orbiting a 695300 kilometer radius ball of hydrogen orbiting a large group of other stars in a roughly [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]90,460,528,4[/font][/size]00,000 kilometer diameter cluster orbiting a super massive blackhole at the center of milkway galaxy of [size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]480,600,528,4[/font][/size]00,000,000 kilometers in a universe of (visiblably) 440,860,623,440,000,000,000,000 kilometers.

...we know Jack-s***.

Mind. Blown.

Well of course there always could be life, but it would be just as ignorant to say that there is definitely life other than us.

Hey gaiz. Atoms are mostly made up of empty space. Space is made up of empty space. We live on an atom.

Ok, obvious dry humour aside...

Honestly the universe is a subject that simply boggles my mind for one sole reason: Where does it end? And when it ends, what's at the end of that, and the end of that, and the end of that? Etc.

As for the idea of life, it's statistically likely that there exists another planet with a similar climate to ours, that will likely be able to support life. But it's a wonder as to where they could be development-wise. Are they still like we were thousands of years ago living in caves? Or are they a super-advanced colony with technology we could never imagine?

There's just too many "what ifs?" to really make a solid grasp on what we don't know. Which is one of the reasons we don't know it.

I'm doubting on intelligent life anywhere in our galaxy besides here. Just plain life? Absolutely.

This discussion should entail not only the universe, but the subsequent universes that exist, as I am a believer in the multiverse theories. Thus the chance of finding life elsewhere would increase.
