We are not alone in the universe

The possibility that somewhere in the universe there are other life forms more or less evolved I think is very high, perhaps somewhere in the universe a planet similar to earth are asking the same question, what you do not know for sure if indeed there are forms of life far superior to ours where with some kind of magic we are flying (as if we were their favorite toy), not rule it out as it could be such beings to create these groups or warring factions (type risiko ), maybe it's a kind of game for them but for us it's real life.

Us to get to know other forms of life we ​​need ships capable of making us live in space long term, ships with a kind of infinite fuel or nuclear reactors, in short, observing the different movies or TV series on television gives us to think that in the near future these spacecraft will be a reality.

The fiction of the past is our science today, the steps that we are taking are long but in my case they are helping us, maybe our planet some being that comes from a planet far evolved here that will offer us the knowledge to build the future ship spatial and this could be the end to participate as crew, already seems that my imagination is skyrocketing ... yet at least for the 1% could be right.

If one day you were a being from another planet, what would be your first reaction?

I most likely I would be scared but maybe not if it comes in the form of earth person.

I think you're definitely correct. We're not alone.

With 10^29 stars (or more), there's bound to be planets with very similar conditions to ours.

We've already been able to create nucleotides and amino acids in the laboratory through emulations of earth's pre-life conditions. Even meteorites that have hit earth have been found to have amino acids.

With billions of years of amino acids and nucleotides interacting on those planets, I bet many developed RNA. If this RNA has some sort of mechanism for reproduction, natural selection + time does the rest.

If we look at humans, it took only 12,000 years to get from the spread of agriculture to modern society, and we're progressing at a faster pace than ever before. If it at a certain point progress speeds up exponentially, there's bound to be aliens that have technology far beyond what we could imagine. And they could have been where we're at currently hundreds of millions of years ago.

They might have already figured out biological immortality (for themselves), or found methods of travel faster than the speed of light. Perhaps they know more about the universe than we ever will.

It's neat to think about.

If I suddenly woke up on another planet? I don't know how I'd feel. Shocked, I bet.

Homesick too. =P If they were far more advanced than us, I might end up liking it.

(I'd totally spend six months in the International Space Station if I could)

If we are alone, what a waste of space it is.

Seriously now, the universe is so vast (and probably expanding) that other life forms are likely. However, would they be carbon-based like us?

I always thought there is likely other vegetated planets, maybe some animal life.

The reason to not completely jump the gun and believe there is other life is because the odds that life formed here are near impossible as it is, much less other planets. That being said, you could rationalize and say "if it happened here, it can happen anywhere".

If you bring creation into the picture, then that's even more interesting, because now there IS another life form, the creator; but has he created life on other planets?

It's a fascinating subject and I certainly enjoy thinking about it.

I don't think we are alone either. I was watching YouTube the other while at work, and I saw something about the 15 greatest mysteries in the world. One of them was some kind of signal called " The WOW Signal " that we got back in the 1970s. 

   I really do not think we are alone in the Universe. There are just so many galaxies. One of them has to hold some sort of life. Some sort of living thing.
 
   I heard from my science teacher a few days ago that if you go between galaxies you would most likely be ripped apart before you could reach the next. So they must be very advanced too which I bet they are considering the countless UFO sightings that have been reported in the US.
 
   There are also urban legends that some believe are aliens such as Bigfoot and the Chupicabra. 
 
   Aliens are very fascinating and if you have ever watched that show called Ancient Aliens then you would know that a lot of people believe in the existance in aliens. They even say that ancient civilizations communicated with them to survive. I even think one episode said that they worshipped them and called them snake people. I highly doubt everything on this show to be honest.
 
   Either way I think aliens exist somewhere.
 
   

awesomeguy279 : I totally agree with what you said. There are so many galaxies and planets out there, that there's likely another planet somewhere out there that has life on it. I'd have to wonder where in the galaxy are these aliens and how far away from earth they are though.

awesomeguy279 : Bigfoot is real! I've seen him, or at least I think I have, up in the Mt Rainier area. Granted, it was years ago, but I do believe that Bigfoot is real.
