Is there love in space?

Yo Prof,

Not saying I'm sure you're wrong, but how can you be so sure you're right?

If you're willing to say there might be bacteria, you can get from bacteria to single celled eukaryotes, and from there to multicellular organisms, and from there you're off and running.

Just on this podunk planet, there's four groups experimenting with the large brain; the primates, the elephants, the cetaceans, and the cephalopods. Higher levels of intelligence also seem to be happening among the parrots, and among the crows and their relatives.

Here on earth, life seems to find a way to manage in some of the the most extreme environments; mountain hot springs, the great salt lake, deep sea hydrothermal vents, the surface of glaciers.

I don't know what might be out there. How can you?

If there was intelligent life somewhere else in the universe, due to the extremely unlikely chance of it evolving, it would be in a location too far away for us to ever reach there. Remember, even if we somehow managed to invent a way to travel at lightspeed, it still takes years just to get to the NEAREST STAR. So imagine how ridiculously long it would take to travel to these 'aliens'' and of course detecting them would be near impossible, by the time we finally get there or find a way to contact, either they or our own civilization would be totally extinct after millions of years travelling just to the other side of the galaxy, let alone another populated world. And we havent even found a way to travel at lightspeed!

so sorry to put your dreams down like this but the likelyhood of intelligent life existing, aswell as the likelihood of us ever getting there or them ever getting here, means its statistically ridiculous to even consider that there is contact with other intelligent life, except if they are inhabiting a location somewhere very near us, which means they would have to be related to us, and probably extinct by now.

I heard somewhere that astronomers reckon that the probability (science talk ) is that there is intelligent life somewhere in the universe, probably many places. Not sure if they'd bother to visit Earth though. I wish they would. It'd liven up the nine o'clock news no end.

It's in my opinion, that we are too savage a race for any aliens to want to visit us.

The only way they will is once we start trying to stop killing each other.

but like i said whether they would want to or not, even at lightspeed it takes years to just travel to the next solar system, so the actualy feasability of inter stellar travel is low

Well my theory is self-replicating machine are evolution next step. Biological evolution can not make the next steps needed. So every galaxay will develop perhaps one advance biological beings that will invent a self-replicating machine. Then that machine
will completly use up the resources in that galaxy and move on with all the material left. Which means our only chance of seeing other life will be one of the machines.

My theory of the beginning of The Universe.

Old Universe Ended...Darkness.

Dust thingys trying to create a spark..trying to create a new universe...success That's The Big Bang.

All planets form, all galaxies form etc, etc.

Creation of life

Earth..is just a fireball with meteorites constantly hitting us...other planet smacks into us, KABOOM, the steam off the explosion rains to create the oceans on the earth. In the smack with the other planet, another part broke off to form the moon. The moon now stops meteorites hitting us.

The remaining bacteria that falls onto Earth creates the first live form...Fish. We constantly evolve from there.

interesting theory.
