Could there be life in the galaxies nearest to the Milky Way?

Question

Could there be life in the galaxies nearest to the Milky Way?

Answer 1

May be yes but possibly No

Because there is no guarantied proof that life really exists in space  and no one yet  can prove that life really exists in space.

Life starts from water on earth and every living thing need water to live and survive  and there is no water found in space. and space is huge so we are still not able to discover the whole space,

so how can life exists in galaxies near milky.  so i say no!

  

Answer 2

Of course. There could be life in just about any galaxy. Your question isn't very specific.

Answer 3

Of course. If life can exist here, then why not elsewhere?  

Answer 4

the universe is simply too bg for us to be alone

Answer 5

possibly

Answer 6

why couldnt there be other life in the milky way?

Answer 7

There could be "life" in any galaxy. The recent discovery of water on Mars makes the possibility of life (microscopic at least) there much greater. The vastness of space is nearly incomprehensible and we haven't even thouroughly explored our closest neighboring planets or planets circling other stars in our own galaxy enough to discount the possibility of anything.

Answer 8

Definitely! And in our own galaxy too!

Answer 9

yes.

Answer 10

With the amount of stars and planets orbiting those stars i would say it was inevitable.

Answer 11

Sure there could, and anywhere else, too. Even elsewhere within our own galaxy.

And @i's answer is dead wrong. Water is detectable almost everywhere in space. It's one of the most common molecules out there.

Answer 12

I believe so...dun think the whole universe is created just for humans. Even within our own galaxy, the unexplored or unfound stars/planets are well into the millions. There may just be one with an environment that supports life.

But if u are a christian, den the answer should be no...though i wouldnt understand y would god create all the extra planets and stars.

Answer 13

Wouldn't surprise me,but I'd say so.

Answer 14

nothing can live in candy

Answer 15

Of course. There's no reason why there shouldn't be.

Answer 16

  Life likely proliferates in all parts of the universe,intelligent,technological life like ours is less common but it could be anywhere in the universe.  We are here.
