          Millions? 100 billion galaxies and each of them holding 50 to 100 billion stars and planets.

            I was just watching that on the news... whats really wild to think about is that we are just a speck on a speck.. there are so many more galaxies out there and we are only living in one of them.. the possibilities are endless

                          We most like arent alone but we finding someone or someone finding us is a very, very small chance.

                                That would be great, I would love to see that too! That would be a truly historical event.

                                I can't imagine that out of all the stars/planets/galaxies out there, we are the ONLY planet with life. It just doesn't seem possible, unless you're a bible thumper.

                                  Well, are you completey sure? Scientist's aren't! They found something that might show the end of the universe, it was on GFY a while back also, it was they are starting to think that the universe might be a sphere shape like a soccer ball.

                                    Exactly my thoughts.

                                    I mean, we are discovering planets similar to ours now, we spent years with only "our" galaxy/planets, we are now discovering new stuff.
                                    So now lets see whats happens to Mars projets since all attentions are to the new discoveries.

                                    Its great to finally see some huge historical discoveries like this one

                                      Do you guys realize that it is not common for stars to have planets orbiting them.. Let alone how extremely rare it is for a planet to have all the elements that the Earth has.

                                      Even if there is life on another planet, how likely is it gonna have intelligence?
                                      Out of 6 million species on earth, only 1 was able to create technology, after billions of years of the planets creation. Universe is estimated to be only around 20 billion years old if I remember correctly.

                                      Universe isn't that big compared to all these odds multiplied together.

                                      There are only 10^70 atoms in the universe, 99.9999999+% of it is hydrogen and helium

                                        Life is life, doesn't matter about intelligence. How do you know if were a new species than what is out there, and they think we're still in the stone age compared to them! Never know what you'll find out in the universe!

                                          Yes odds are pretty high, but come on, just a discovery of a planet similar to ours or the simple fact that there is other planets with a sun and an orbit, is already a great discovery.

                                          and yes I do belive (dispiste the odds) that tehre is live out there.

                                                        Too bad they haven't actually detected earth-like planets yet... these are reputedly 17 times the size of Earth.

                                                          i have no doubt that there isn't life outside our earth.
                                                          its to fucking greedy to think otherwise..

                                                          universe has no age, has no limits, no end, no start. the human brain cannot comperhend that because everything we know has a start and end.. it is hard for humans to understand that there is nothing beyond nothing out there, the universe is not big, it is not small either, my point is there is no size which means there are endless numbers of planets out there... some where out there, there are suns giving off enough light and heat to the soild rocks orbiting them, which has the right mix of everything needed to make life. it happen with our earth, why cant it happen elsewhere? no end = no limits.... there IS life outside ours, give me a good reason why there cant be.


                                                          and yes, even if it is bacteria, it is still life

                                                            Its hard to find small earth sized planets that are capable of producing life.

                                                            First they measure a stars wobble to detect giant planets orbiting them then they measure star light dimming to detect small sized planets passing in front of the star.

                                                            Most planets dont even orbit in a circle motion making the weather conditons to extreme.

                                                            Another factor is that you need Bigger planets orbiting the outer edge to shield the smaller ones from getting hit by some big rock

Actually theyre getting less and less. Stars die constantly. In x billion years from now space will be black...no stars, nothing.

                                                                                      The shitty thing is people who believe in aliens always compare them to humans. Head, 2 arms, 2 legs, you know the deal. The chances that they will look anything like humans are reallllly small.

Even travelling at the speed of light, just getting to the nearest star will take a long time and were not anywhere near being able to reach those speeds.

Even travelling at the speed of light, just getting to the nearest star will take a long time and were not anywhere near being able to reach those speeds.
                                                                                          As far as we can grasp that is the truth.

                                                                                          Some quantum theorist believe that space time can be manipulated in ways to eliminate distance as a factor.

                                                                                          Space time is the very fabric of space that creates things like gravity and distance.

                                                                                          This kind of stuff is beyond me.. but there are things that we truely dont understand. A example is the point of singularity in a black hole where space and time cease to exist as we know them.
