Do you think aliens exist?

29 Comments

Before you ignorantly choose to believe or not like 90 percent of people now a days do. Here's a couple facts you should know. Every star that you see in the sky at night is actually a sun like the one you see in the day. The nearest star is really far away we can not even get there with thousands and thousand of years of traveling if we even had the technoligy to do so. Each one of those stars or 'suns' has atleast 2 planets revolving around it if not more. Now how many thousands of stars is there? There is a great chance that we are not the only living things in the universe ,not this galaxy but I repeat the universe. So what do you think?

Yes 71
No 13
Dont care 16
Yes and the government hides it 27
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

      I agree with this. I want to say its possible since everything is possible. However I wont say for sure either way until there is more evidence. Im not going to be jumping around saying stuff is for sure when I have no real idea about it. Secondly all the people who do that are looked at like lunatics so if I did spot something I would probobly ignore it. Since I don't want to be locked up for being a lunatic.

    Wow. Your scales are entirely off.

    The nearest star is only 4 light years away. In terms of space, 4 light years is like how far you could spit. The universe itself is 13.6 billion years old. With inflation principles in effect, we are only able to observe objects up to 46 billion light years away.

    4 light years VS. 46 billion light years. Yeah. Short short distance.

    With current technology it would take us roughly 800 years to travel that 4 light years of distance. Assuming we perfect solar sails and ion engines. And assuming gravity from celestial objects wouldn't slow us down.

    Every star is not a sun. Every sun is a star. Ours is unique due to the distance, luminosity, radiation, and size of it. Most stars can swallow a few thousands of our sun. Our sun is quite tiny. There is no proof every "sun" has at least 2 planets, but it is conceivable in theory. An interesting note is that some stars have partner stars swirling around each other at trillions of MPH. Sometimes, stars can eat other stars.

    How many thousands of stars are there? Thousands? Really? The last time I heard, each small galaxy had a few hundred billion, to a few hundred trillion stars. And we for a fact know there are a few hundred billion galaxies. So a few thousand is shorting it massively.

    Alone, in our galaxy aka "The Milk Way" (You can actually see it at night if the conditions are right. Its incredible) there are at least 50 billion stars with planets in the green zone. (capable of supporting life)

    That said, your chances are 50/50 that if a planet did have life, it would be basic life (bacteria most likely, or maybe earliest of multi-cellulars) or they've had a few BILLION years of technology on us. mankind today has about 6000 years of steady technology now. So compare 6,000 to 1,000,000,000. Yeah, life exists outside of our planet.

      it would take 50,000 years to travel 4 light years w/ our fastest efforts . a light year is an obscenely long distance.

        With a bit of luck, and the proper equipment it would be possible to get there within 1000 years. The sail itself would allow us to break through our own solar system, and the ion would continue to accelerate (although at a steady rate) for the duration of the fuel on board to do so. Obviously this is using the best of current technology, and as far as I know, only 1 ion engine has ever been tested in space. Voyager has finally reached the out expanses of our solar system and had just crossed into "open space" using momentum and classic rockets. Ion technology would allow us to cover the same distance in a shorter period of time. Say 10 years, instead of 35. Because there is no "limit" (yes I am aware the closer things get to the speed of light the more energy they use) to the top speed of an ion, it would be a constant speed increase every second, of every year, for X amount of years.

        Thats what I was basing my "within 800" years off of lol

            I'm a nerd and not afraid to admit it. I'm just horribad at math. Hence why physics never interested me.

            Of course, advances in technology would invariably make it easier to bend space, and take that 800 year journey, and smush down into a week or two. The only real downside of this bit, is having the replication technology, and gravity plating. Of course, replication technology would end all hunger, and poverty damn near overnight. Imagine a world without money /gasp. But obviously warp drives, replicators and gravity plating aren't within the realm of our current development.

          4 light years meaning 4 years at the speed of light. If im right light can travel 7.5 times around the earth in a second

            how did you get 7.5?

            I got 6.65x around the earth.

    Yeah, I'm pretty sure extraterrestrial "life" exists. But if any of it looks like Alf, E.T., or one of those things from the X-files, I'll eat my telescope.

        lol, if they do exist, they're most likely to be microbial and invisible to the naked eye.

    Anyone who believes in evolution HAS to believe in aliens, otherwise they'd be hypocrites. I do not believe in either.

    you need more options. i think maybe. it's not possible to give a no & i'd only say yes if i saw 1 and knew it was an alien.

    The universe is inconcievably big.
    So big, that we are currently unable to view outside of a range due to the unimaginable amount of galaxies in our path.
    Each galaxy holds trillions of stars.
    Each star holds extreme potential of an orbiting planet/ or multiple planets.
    Our solar system holds 8 planets.
    Four of which are gas, unable to house life.
    One which has a moon with an ocean where life could form/ already has.
    Four of which have solid terrain which life could walk.
    One of which currently has life.
    And one which is suspect to have held life.

    With such a vast universe I find it perplexing that some would just completely dismiss the possibility of alien life.

    Existence is so big... the changes of humans being the only intelligent life is next to impossible.

    I don't, however, believe in the green ones from Mars.

    Well it stands to reason that Earth isn't the only inhabitable planet in the galaxy. Maybe there are aliens far out of our sights. (just not the stereotypical green bug-eyed aliens)
