Are we really alone?

[*DeathGuard*]

Maybe we are the last planet left from an intergalactic war.

That's Crap, dude!

Completely deniable!

[Afkpuz]

I don't think it matters, because I don't think that we really know ourselves.

At least personally, I don't really have any idea of what it means to be a human being.

And therefore, how can our knowledge base be secure enough to judge?

[Ronin]

Before we ruin that planet we inhabit.

[WRB852]

I'm sure if there's other life out there, it evolves/evolved a lot like us.

[Bustos]

Or cooler.

Someone said something earlier about a deadly bacteria on Mars?  Link?
Oh an a couple of months ago I saw on uhh I forget what its called.  Brink.  Yeah that show, I heard that theres masses of methane gas floatin around, but weather it geological or biological they dont know :/ Yet anyway.

I do not think we are alone.  I have many thoughts in my head that get jumbled around and stuff.  I use to think about this alot but now its every once in a while.

[Menen]

After we totaly forget up earth to the point of no return, lets hope some alien planet will take us in like an Orphan 

[NickTheSushi]

Someone's been playing too much Spore. 

[jirue]

hell no we're not alone, think about it, theres endlless space out in space, bigger then anyone can possable imagine, all of that is waisted if we're the only ones

[Bio Spark]

The best answer for science is Maybe.
We don't know what it is until we do some kind of handicapped experiment on it

[General Omega]

No, other life forms have been made it can be proven by the small cluster of space we have here and an equation. The fact that there is so much space in space that it takes billions of years for LIGHT to travel here. They have not contacted us and we can not do so to them unless we take our entire civilization and planet hop until we run into a new form of life. Now if we can only make a living space ship.

Drake's equation.


    N is the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible;
    R* is the average rate of star formation in our galaxy
    fp is the fraction of those stars that have planets
    ne is the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets
    fℓ is the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point
    fi is the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life
    fc is the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space
    L is the length of time such civilizations release detectable signals into space.

10,000 planets containing intelligent life in the known universe.
Average of 5 exist at any given time.

[Saxophone]

There is a potentially deadly bacteria that was found on Mars.

NO microorganism has been
found on mars yet; BUT, traces
of possible bacteria exist.

[orange wolf]

Screw that, I want to know why planets are so perfectly round.

[General Omega]

They are not. Earth is slightly bigger in the equaitor then it would be if you measured along any other part going on the highest. ex north to south poles.

Also, due to the force of gravity pulling in all directions at once. If an object is not big enough, then the gravity will be too weak to form a sphere.

[Ronin]

The moon pulls on earth you mean.

[bikerdude3000]

just a bit off topic, but why does earth get everything boring? like our heat/life supplying source is a giant star named "the sun" woop-dee-doo. Well, why don't we get a name like that second earth? Gliese 581? wouldn't that be cool?
