Do you believe in aliens?

mashers · Jun 30, 2016

The universe is massive. It's completely ridiculous to assume that there is no life other than on Earth. It's just so far away that we can't observe it or communicate with it. Somewhere out there, other intelligent life-forms are having the exact same conversation. But it's us that some of them don't believe in.

maybe they are already between us? Man, are u alien?

The Real Jdbye · Jun 30, 2016

It depends on what you mean by the question. If you mean, have aliens visited us, then probably not.
But with how infinitely big the universe is I doubt we are the only intelligent beings in it. That would be a huge waste of space if so.

Do you guys like the new poll? :3

Youkai · Jun 30, 2016

Well depending on what Aliens are in your opinion we probably have them here already ...

They found bacteria in some asteroids even though they are not 100% sure if these are from outer space or formed after they crashed on earth as far as I understand.
So this actually IS Alien life or better was ^^V

CosmoCortney · Jun 30, 2016

I do believe in aliens. I could imagine the universe being full of extremophile life forms. About intelligent life.. Hard to imagine but I'd rather say yes than no

BurningDesire · Jun 30, 2016

It is indeed possible. It is so possible that it is kind of hard not to believe. There is no way we are the only life intelligent forms in the universe/multiverse

I'm not sure if I believe that wormholes would work given that they haven't been proved and that they don't last long enough. And for travelling near light speed, there are debris flying around in space and I can't imagine anything but being utterly obliterated by them flying at such speeds!

Our current understanding of physics does allow for long-lasting wormholes and other faster-than-light travel methods to possibly exist, but you're right that they might be impossible. We just don't know for sure.

As for debris, space is relatively empty, especially when traveling between star systems. Large debris should be fairly easy to avoid, and we already have protection methods for small debris that diffuse impact particles across large areas. You're right to bring up debris as a concern, however.

Your new poll implies that those of us who voted yes think aliens have interacted with humans in the distant past.

Yes, I believe in myself

No material on earth gonna instantly diffuse impact of debris at such phenomenal speeds, and as for large debris, you aint dodging shit at those speeds.

First, dodging large debris in the space between star systems is analogous to dodging a single volleyball named Wilson I tossed into the ocean. Space is a very big place, and the amount of large debris relative to space is small. Statistically speaking, we might not need to dodge anything.

Second, if we take an estimate of how fast we can go without worrying too much about microparticles (about 10-50% the speed of light, depending on whom one asks), we can still travel to other star systems well within a lifetime, not even including stasis and time dilation. In addition, we don't know what future technology will bring us regarding protection against microparticles. For all we know, we might have some sort of magnetic energy field that deflects microparticles while we travel at speeds near the speed of light. It's actually not that implausible.

yes there has even been proof of so called alliens exist, or it must've already been proven hoax... you'll need a good microscope to even see them... they came back death, but one of our space trips brought some 1 cells back to earth we didn't know to exist... i don't think you should be scared for those alliens though... they can't travel through space, and 1 cell can't have that much of a brain...

TVL · Jun 30, 2016

Yes, I believe. I don't think they've visited earth (to rape some cows) though.

Mollycule · Jun 30, 2016

Yeah, probably very likely that earth isn't the smartest planet in the universe, I believe we don't need technology to communicate with extraterrestrial beings, just certain substances and using your other senses.

Vengenceonu · Jun 30, 2016

Do these count?

The universe is big, there's got to be something out there, right? There are over 100 billion planets in our galaxy alone, Earth can't be the only one with life. I'm interested to see people's thoughts on this.

Please, no comments about what your religion says about this. It will just end up offending someone.

Two possibilities exist.

Either there is intelligent life somewhere in the universe.
Or there is not.

Both possibilities are equally terrifying.

Not only the Government

I have been at Microsoft yesterday and they showed us some stuff that is in development (they only showed as a video) and the guy showing us this was telling us how amazing the prototypes already are as he have seen them in real life but than again he said it might take another 10 years or more for some of these things to get released to the public and lots of those things will never be available to normal consumers like us but only for big companies.

I wouldn't be suprised if their aren't already human clones walking around, my sister actually works growing body parts, creepy if you ask me.

EarlAB · Jul 2, 2016

It was confirmed already that Saturn (or was it Neptune?) has plant life so definitely yes.

Jack Daniels · Jul 2, 2016

unexplained/uneidentified means just that: not identified/unexplained objects could be secret project or just unknown to us for it's not that much happeing... doesn't mean allien... light and objects seen by your eyes could be just a refection even in 3d this would also explain how it moves faster than normal objects... our sensors hands, foots, eyes and ears are not that preciese... our brain could give fals info as being legit just like a hacked console can see a pirated game as original.

I'm not saying it was aliens, but...

It was aliens!
