Do you think there are aliens?

[Reenk Roink]

Well?

[A Nerd]

Considering the vastness of space and our own grasp of timed movement thru it (phiolsophical), probably not.

[Viking]

Maybe. Who knows.

I having trouble understand what you mean by timed movement in regards to phiolsophical thought on aliens.

[Kagemusha]

It is more then very likely.Only one unique event creating life in universe sounds absurd. It is whole another story will there ever be any kind of contact with other life forms.

Well that is an argument against alien visitation (UFO and all that stuff) on Earth, nothing against the existence of aliens in itself.

Hmm a big topic I will try an keep it short so. I assume your really saying are there advanced grey aliens or klingons zipping around the universe.

1 Universe is vast and has existed a long time therefore it seems reasonable to assume the chances are life could start elsewhere.

2 As long as enough life exists in enough places then surely some of it will become intelligent and develop advanced societies.

3 The more advanced they get the more energy they will consume requiring more resources and planetary exploration for same.

4 Even at very slow speeds the entire Milky Way can be explored in a cosmic timescale relatively quickly.

5 We aint seen any real evidence that they are exploring the galaxy so its possible we are alone in the Milky Way but not the universe.

There are no aliens.


You are not being watched.


We are not already among you.

What I meant by philosophical is that space is so vast, out movment is like years to reach say mars for example, that presently, even if there is life in distant space so much time would elapse before we ever met another civilization, ours or theirs would no longer exist. In essence, based on the present, there is no alien life.

[aimlesswanderer]

As someone famous once sorta said "it'd be an awful waste of space if humans were the only intelligent life in the universe".

[KukriKhan]

Yes. They masquerade as "French" and "Texan", to explain away their differences from us. They apparently learned from their Neanderthal experience ('don't consume the host').

Our present technical knowhow does not preclude a vastly older advanced society meeting us.
