Do you think Aliens exist?

[Estolcles]

Yes, Lron is a f2m tranny, and I -KNOW- aliens exist. Texans keep trying to shoot them when they get past the border fence.

Submitted for your consideration, something someone on weed once told me that I am in no position to say is true or not because I don't know enough about astronomy, but it's interesting to think about:

The celestial bodies of the universe are slowly drifting further and further apart. The longer we wait to colonize other planet, the less likely we will ever even be able to reach them. Additionally, planets that are currently uninhabitable due to being too close in proximity to their respective stars (eg Venus) will one day be more habitable because they will be farther away (Venus is a bad example because it's a gas planet). Likewise, planets that are currently habitable will eventually be too far away from their suns to continue being so.

Thoughts?

Actually no, that's not it, we're not getting further from the stars, it's galaxies that are drifting


I wish we had edit on this board sometimes

Yes, but this may take... what? 100 billion years? Maybe less, maybe more, we really have absolutely no idea. I think we've confirmed that certain planets in certain galaxies that orbit around multiple stars can become slingshotted into deep space though. Neil Tyson talks about this. He also explains how life as we know it can survive without a star as the only energy, and that earth actually generates energy from it's core still. One last point he made was there it's probably that there are life forms that are unimaginable to us, like the exist completely outside the boundaries of water and oxygen.

Anyway, not sure if that has anything to do with what you're saying but I thought it'd interesting nonetheless. I'm not astrophysicist.

Wow, I am so tired. I realize my previous post has way too many errors and a strewed inflection. Fill in the blanks please. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

It's a fairly safe assumption to make that life has evolved to entirely different environments and atmospheres than what we have on Earth. Consider the fact that until recently we had been under the false presumption that all life on this planet was somehow involved in the photosynthetic food chain. However, we found life capable of existing around volcanic underwater vents that live solely on the chemicals emitted from them, such as sulfur.

It's definitely an interesting topic for conversation.

Yes and such discoveries do explain why we may be descendents of an ancient Martians, where such lifeforms were able to survive a journey through space, via some form of space-rock from Mar's previous atmosphere. (Where there was apparently water, I've heard).

Neil degrasse tyson disagrees with you.

Why would we want to colonize all these different planets that we know are lethal to life forms when we can just use the technology to better our living conditions and sustain our future of our species on a planet that is specifically ideal because of our evolution here?

There's no other reason to be in outer space, if that's not the case.

interesting. it would seem likely that the anti-christ would materialize on almost the exact opposite side of the world as the alleged christ once did.
