Our Universe

Most people (stupid people) think we mean the kind that comes in flying kitchen wear and abduct you to stick stuff up your *** .

I don't know how that came about. You'd think that these people would see that if an alien civilisation was advanced enough to build spaceships to fly them to our planet, they are more advanced than us. They can be considered like us far into the future in that respect. So the people that believe it would have to wonder, why would we stick things up people *** rather that contacting them? Why would we draw large, nonsensical pictures in their cornfields? Some people just seem to avoid logic entirely. Toast.

The thing about that is, you have to take into account what the aliens would even be like. Humans are carbon-based life-forms, there could just as well be aliens that are just sentient gaseous hydrogen clouds.

carbon based life might be more common though. also silicon based life might exist

While you have a point, I'd just like to point out that carbon and silicon are the most likely bases of life due to their ability to form extremely long molecular chains.

Problem is that the vast distances of space are too ridiculous to even comprehend. Therefore the probability of ever coming in contact with one of these external species, is very low even with ********* advanced technology.

even if there were other civilizations on distant planets or universes, who is to say they havent died out yet? who is to say we didn't come from a higher life form in the beginning of time? ******* .

Mathematically, there are enough galaxies and enough time for one civilization to exist and another to be formed.

Just imagine:
>Scientists have finally found a planet with other sentient life
>We can see them
>Technology just a dozen years behind us
>Begin work on a ship
>Ship finished in a year
>Launch
>Ship rapidly approaching planet
> ********** can watch their society
>see them progress
>One scientist notices ship
>Freaks out
>Believes it's a meteor

>They begin working on a missile to intercept
>The ship is on autopilot
>the ********** can't change course
>They watch as the missile is manufactured
>The missile is finished
>Launched
>The ship is destroyed
>Thousands of lives destroyed
>Entire planet celebrates
>New plan: send them a message
>We send them the message
>"It wasn't a meteor, it was a ship."
>They send a message back
>"We know."

that just mind ****** my ********

how would you know whats nonsense to someone that advanced? dogs would consider maths to be nonsense though it obviously isnt

Dogs are not more advanced than humans. If a civilisation can build a working spaceship, they have mathematical knowledge.

1. no one said dogs are more advanced than humans
2. i wasnt disputing our mathematical knowledge, i was using it as an example

are you even trying?

In my original comment, which yours was in response to, I stated that the alien civilisation I was referring to was more advanced than us, so using dogs as an example in terms of knowledge that we possess didn't make sense because that would mean they're less advanced than us.

yes, dogs are less advanced than us in the same way we would be less advanced than visiting aliens. thus not understanding if they did some nonsensical **** the same way dogs wouldnt understand our 'nonsensical' **** e.g. maths or even blowjobs

So we wouldn't write a message to a dog in a field to communicate with it, because we know that the dog would consider it nonsensical.

oh i get what you mean.. but there are people who understand those symbols, those symbols are from back before even egyptian times

The symbols printed in the fields? I don't see why not. It's quite likely that someone did that and had knowledge of ancient Egyptian symbols.

theres lots of talk about egyptians being the first to encounter aliens and i would not be surprised one bit since they did go pretty ******* far, at the same time many civilizations also began writing & scribing etc... i would really not be surprised

many civilizations around the world*

Well, they'd likely have a completely different culture than us. Maybe *** probing is their way of saying "howdy neighbor". And maybe the crop thingymabobers is their language.

You mean those weren't aliens?

I remember reading something that said "Stephen Hawking actually believes in aliens omg i thought he was smart!"

Until we actually find significant evidence of alien life, we can't go around telling people that it exists--no matter how great we think the odds are. Touting something as fact without the ability to prove or disprove it is called religion.

That being said, I'd love to meet an alien.

It has been confirmed, but not how you would think, enlarge this and read it

And apparently the journal "Cosmology" which the paper was published isn't scientifically neutral; it is notoriously biased towards the theory that life arrived on Earth via meteorites (like the article claims).

Err, I wouldn't cash my bets just yet. First of all, that extremetech article is the only article related to that I could find (if people confirmed alien life, it would kind of be big news, wouldn't you think?) And they don't have the credibility that other news outlets have. Second, the study they're talking about hasn't been confirmed by anybody. Even the article says the findings "aren't a slam dunk yet" (which doesn't say much about the quality of their journalism, considering the title). This sort of thing has happened before--people found little fossil-like objects in meteorites only to find that they were just sediments.

So as much as I would like for that article to be true, I'm going to have to call ******** .

Sorry.

It depends on how you define "aliens". If you mean extraterrestrial life in general, then that's definitely out there. This will usually be in the forums of micro bacteria, whose evolution pretty much stands still for millions to billions of years.
Technically advanced civilizations like ourselves usually last a 1000 years or so after reaching that level, by destroying themselves. This is either through making their home planet uninhabitable or through war/disastrous global accidents/virtual diseases/etc. Most of these points have humanity proven to be excellent at doing.
Taking the cosmic timescales (billions of years) into account, these civilizations only last a fraction of a blink of an eye and the chances of multiple advanced civilizations existing within a galaxy at once is very small. Even smaller is the chance that a specie would even find another one in the vast mess of stars, or learns how to communicate over such distances.
Perhaps a specie will evolve sometime, somewhere that manages to reach a level of complexity at which it leaves its solar system and proceeds to harvest the energy of its galaxy. And eventually colonizes the rest of the universe. From what humanity have displayed thus far, one thing's for certain - it won't be us.

I'm not saying that what you've stated is definitely incorrect, but you've just pulled some theory out of your *** and laid it out as if it's the definite truth.

I was gonna say the exact same thing.

I believe in aliens, but as depicted by the picture above, I highly doubt we will ever come in contact with aliens and vice-versa.

Not to mention that there could be billions of other universes like ours

Put some effort into trolling.

There are legit scientific communities who think that Life is just that rare.

I wouldn't say they deny it, they're just not accepting the thought of it.

that look of defeat is priceless

thanks, putting louis with that girl created one of the funniest videos ive seen.

i want to find pics of her, or someone who looks a lot like her...

what about this one...

name?

hahah liza halton the first thing that showed up on google when i wrote ellen farber.

U LIE!

it is actually Liz Holtan, after a bit of goozoogloling her i found she was the actual actress

haha sorry i got confused

it's staged

Her name was Ellen Farber actually.

and it was a skit.

I say again

I'm aware of the mistake. But I took the image from the interwebz and I'm not feeling like photoshopping and cropping a new one

There has to be hundreds of thousands, if not more.

and if this exists on any of them I will ragequit.

what the **** is that from

What is this from?

In theory, if the universe is infinitely expanding, then there are an infinite number of planets harboring life forms, many of them sentient.(In fact, an infinite amount of them.)

Infinite....

You're making grand *********** that haven't been proven yet. I completely believe that there's life out there, but it's just not right to say that there's an infinite amount of planets. Actually, let me rephrase that: it MAY be right, but there's no conclusive proof that it is. Nonetheless, I believe that there's intelligent life out there. I don't believe we'll find out for sure in our lifetimes, unfortunately.

Notice I said "In theory" what i said may be complete ********* .

In a sense, that we're part of the universe. But really, saying that it's the universe discovering itself because we share a lot of the same atoms is like saying when we shoot an elk, we're shooting the entire human race. Both have a lot of carbon in them, but that doesn't make them the same thing.

The entire human race is not part of an elk.

We share our atoms with the rest of the universe, so he said us discovering it was the universe discovering itself. Pretty much saying, albeit in a joking manner, that if two things are made up of the same base elements, they are one and the same. I said much to the same effect.

You keep referring to people and the universe as two separate objects. The universe includes people. People are a part of what makes up the universe. The word "universe" refers to every particle, everything, and everyone that makes it up. The atoms in your body were once in a star. They do not cease being part of the universe now that they surf the interwebs. Unless you compare humans to "the universe except humans," we are a part of a single object, we are not two separate objects.

let me dream

Was he kill?

I don't know guns. For all I know that might just be a bean bag gun or something.

It probably is a bean bag. He looks like a riot cop, so yeah.

My only regret when it comes to things like this is my own mortality, some day we may travel between the stars, we may have faced our own destruction before that, there's an infinite amount of possibilities for what'll happen next in our world.

Some people fear the thought of immortality, I partialy agree, but I also find myself wishing to just be able to stand on the side line in the universe and watch as humanity rises and falls, to see all these people rise to their highest, you'd see every story, happy or sad.

Millions of years of amazing events, and we're only alive for what, maybe 70 years, hardly enough time to take in such beauty..

Gave me a proper feel here.
Kind of wondering, how do you know Sirus is the closest star system capable of supporting human life?

Well our closest system, alpha centari, has planets but unfortunately all of the discovered ones are too close to the sun. The next few stars are all brown dwarfs which are usually too small to have planets much less life. Our next neighbor Sirius, which is huge can support multiple planets although we have been yet to discover them. My guess is that is the next system that it is possible to support life.

The closest like-earth object actually was discovered at a red dwarf around 20 light years away. Which is about 117.6 trillion miles away. I just used Sirus just in case someone pointed out the fact we are still discovering planets around our closer systems.

my science teacher showed us that

why wouldn't it?

I guess it's supposed to, huh?

YOU ARE CORRECT, SIR! COME ON DOWN AND CLAIM YOUR INTERNET!

gimme!

**deemetaldragon rolled a random image posted in comment #3823311 at MMORPG ITEM COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE ** and your internet will be given to you in the form of....

that is a well built sandwhich

makes me hungry though... and I can swear with each bite, I hear "senpai"

then make sure to ***** and/or lick it before each bite

mfw ppl find this absurd

But it's on frontpage =/
