Are we alone in the universe?

Post Reply New Topic

I am just wondering how many auties/aspies believe in aliens. I am not really sure where I stand. I am picking "I don't know", but I really would not be overly surprised if there are other civilizations out there in this unending universe.

**Edit: Yes, means that you think most likely yes, and no means most likely not. Obviously if there is no tangible proof today, I am not expecting an evidence-based response, just an opinion**

I believe there's probably life out there somewhere, but I doubt that it's humanoid in any way, shape or form.

That reminds me, I downloaded Torchwood. Gonna go watch.

I think it's foolish for us to assume we are the only planet with life in universe considering how huge it is. There's lot of planets that have yet to be explored

I don't know, and although I accept the possibility of extra-terrestrial life, there is no valid material evidence to prove that extra-terrestrial life exists - only assumptions, excuses, innuendo, romanticism, wishful thinking, and scatologically-inspired convolutions of reason.

Almost certainly yes, although I doubt that we'll ever make contact with them (distances and time involved.)

While I remain uncertain, this has often stemmed up in discussions. I read all the time in scientific articles, and just regular people mention it to that a planet with a different atmosphere than Earth would be unable to sustain life. Shouldn't that be: a planet with a different atmosphere than Earth would be unable to sustain EARTHLY life? I would assume if there is life on other planets, they would have adapted/evolved to successfully thrive in their own atmosphere just as we have here. Seems odd that I don't read any articles that talk about this position much--like it is not even really considered a possibility much.

I think there is bound to be something else out there... whether it be intelligent or not

It would be cool to know if there really was... its kinda lonely having empty neighbour planets

microbial-organisms , certainly. We'll discover that sooner than later. Do I believe in intelligent life ? Yes but that's a statistical guess.

I've read the Drake Equation and I feel it's certainly plausible, but still simply theoretical. However, if you're counting outside our galaxy ... I'd say it's certain.

Short answer NO. this right here:

Long answer YES. because of this:

It's mathematically impossible that we're the only intelligent life in the universe, but the chances of us ever finding ETs is slim. The distances are just too vast.

Not necessarily. There is still so much we don't know, I'm sure there's probably a way to travel those distances.

IF the universe is infinite, then yes, it is impossible for extraterrestrial life not to exist.

BUT we have no idea if the universe is infinite or not. I don't think it is.

ALTHOUGH the universe is still so frigging huge it may as well be infinite.

AND for those who think it is impossible to travel faster than light, just remember that 100 years ago we didn't even have air conditioning systems.

Just remember, nothing is impossible, with the exception of curing stupidity.

I believe that there is life on other planets. The life forms are just different.

People said we would never break the sound barrier. They had good reasons to think so, but the science was overturned.

We are not alone. Centuries of UFO sightings and alien encounters confirms that.
