The universe is so unimaginable large and there are so many stars and planets that there are good chances of the existence of extra terrestrial life, but at same time there is a very small chance that they can find us, even if they are advanced enough to search for life in the universe. If they are much more advanced than us they probably don’t care, in the same way we don’t care to try to make contact with all the ants of the earth.
So I believe in aliens only in a statistical sense. There is a lot of space out there so SOMETHING has to be elsewhere. But those same stats tell me that the odds of it being intelligent is low, intelligent enough to contact us very low, existing at the same time as us (since we are a blip in the history of the universe) astronomically low and having the ability, or desire, to travel to us hilariously, laughably, insanely low.
I don’t think people who say aliens have been to earth are serious people. Sorry.
Dunno but if I were an alien the stupidest thing I could do would be contact “humans”.
Earth is the neighborhood you roll your windows up when you drive through at max speed.
If they’re looking to build a relationship with Hunanese people, I hope these aliens are ready for spicy food.
Grey aliens are us in the future
I fucking wish. Why would they come though? We demonstrably suck. Project cats to the universe and maybe we can attract some nice folks.
Same as it always has been. They secretly control our world and we fight over whether there are any aliens out there or not
i’d like to think life exists on every single rocky planet. i remember reading about the discovery of single celled organisms deep in the earth’s crust. they exist in a very low-energy environment and therefore have slow metabolisms. some of these are theorized to be able to live for over a million years. they literally extract energy from inorganic compounds in metabolic pathways we don’t understand.
the question is: did life originate on the surface (deep sea hydrothermal vents are still surface in this context) or deep in the earth?
if life originated in the earth, then I think there’s a very high probability every single rocky planet is essentially a seed. inside of it’s core it has life and whenever the surface environment grants some long term stability, the life slowly emerges and evolves into different forms.
so how would extra terrestrial beings and humans interact in the next 10 years?
basically, I think there’s a chance (although low on such a short time scale as 10 years) that we will discover life on another planet. or at least some very significant signs of life. either on Mars or Venus or some Galilean moon, etc.
there wont be
