Does anyone think that we are being visited by inter-dimensional beings (aliens)?

Question

Scientists recently confirmed that there is water/ice on mars. Does this make anyone out there believe that life does exist elsewhere when you did not believe before?

Answer 1

According to Drake and others, it has always been statistically probable that life exists elsewhere besides Earth.  Many avowed skeptics accept this probability with little reservation.  The confirmation of water on Mars adds one more point in favor of the likelihood of some form of life existing or having existed there, but does not drastically change our outlook.

There is no evidence we are being visited by intelligent non-terrestrial beings of any type or origin.  The extension of the ET hypothesis for UFOs, abductions, mutilations, etc. to include interdimensional beings serves no purpose but to expand the speculative nature beyond the possibility of falsification (i.e., scientific provability) and thus to keep it forever nebulous and debatable.  That has the desired effect of giving the people who profit from such endless and pointless discussion additional attention and fodder.

Answer 2

What does water on Mars have to do with interdimensional beings?  It doesn't even mean life eisted or ever existed on MARS, never mind the rest of the universe.  I for one have never doubted the existence of water on other planets.  It's the inevitable result of mixing two pretty common chemicals.

What I do think is happening, though, is that interdimensional space worms may be passing through the earth at all times, and this process is removing overall intelligence and reasoning power from the polulation.  There is some evidence to the effect that this situation is enhanced or even encouraged by the use of home computers, particularly the use of shared sites such as Yahoo.  Further study is needed to confirm this link, however.

Answer 3

Please explain what some billion year old ice on mars, left over from its ancient oceans, has to do with entirely fictional inter-dimensional aliens, whatever those might be.  Mars may very well have developed life during the brief time it had oceans.  Bacteria.  Of course there is no proof of this but the existence of ice was no surprise to anyone except to those who really didn't know much about Mars.  Most biologists would be amazed if extra-solar planets didn't have life.  Bacteria is undoubtedly common throughout the cosmos.  Don't tell anyone, this is a secret:  there is an awfully big difference between bacteria and animal life.  

Answer 4

Yes, is can be life elsewhere in the universe. But the chances that it visits us are incredibly minimal that they hardly exist. Think about this: the only reason we know there are other stars out there is because we have living cells (our eyes) that are sensible to the electro-magnetic (light) force. Otherwise ... we wouldn't see anything and we can't visit what we ignore.

Answer 5

Maybe we are., but I would look a little futher afield than Mars.

Answer 6

There's a huge difference between microbes and vertebrates. There's not yet any proof of even microscopic life forms on other planets, so the assumption that flying saucer-riding aliens are going to find their way here is really a stretch.

Answer 7

yes i do think so

Answer 8

Ok well first off, the water/ice on mars is what we consider essential for life. But we are carbon based lifeforms. What may be essential for us may not be for another "alien" life form.

Now that I've got that out of the way, I do think they are many unexplained events that have occurred in history that cannot be explained by our current technology, and many witness accounts. I try to be as skeptical as possible but not close-minded. I DONT think that we are not the only life forms in the universe. I DO think that someday in the next few decades we will have substantial proof there are alien life forms, whether they be intelligent or not.

But as for being visited by alien life forms right now and in the past..well based on science since I have no personal experience of sightings or anything, its just too soon to jump to conclusions without being laughed at by society. But I don't disregard that there is a strong possibility.

Answer 9

kyledemo has the best, logical answer, I think.

"You don't know what you don't know". Is a fave of mine.

Answer 10

yes,i think we are visited from space.we have "ones" between us

Answer 11

Sure.  It's a big Universe.  There might even be another planet where there are people who look and live something like us.

The ice on Mars isn't news - it was discovered in the polar ice using spectroscopy ages ago.  It was suspected where it was found.  Subsurface ice suggests subsurface water. That's interesting.

But water can be found on all the planets in our solar system.  Mercury has some.  Venus has a little in it's clouds.  Mars has water vapor clouds too.  The Moon may have some locked in craters near the poles.  Three of Jupiter's moons each have more water than the Earth.  Jupiter has some water in it's cloud decks.  Saturn's moon Titan has frozen water rocks right on the surface.  And so on.  So i haven't changed my mind.

We'll do minimal math, and the line of thought.  The elements Oxygen, Hydrogen, Carbon and Nitrogren are the stuff of life, and are very common in the Universe.  Water is also common.  Every planet in our solar system has some, yes, even Mercury, and water has been detected around other stars and in nebulae.  Planets are common around stars.  At least half of all stars have planets.  There are a number of scenarios where life could take root - not just in a Goldilocks habitable zone.  There are hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy.  There are at least hundreds of billions of stars in the visible Universe.  The Visible Universe is known to be an insignificant fraction of the minimum size of the whole Universe.  How insignificant?  Well, the current Visible Universe expanded from a space the size of a proton - this is a sub-atomic particle - really small.  Well, the whole Universe must have been at least as big as the current Visible Universe.  Because that's where the photons of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation came from.  The Universe was already at least 14 billion light years in radius.  If it were less in any direction, we wouldn't see the CMBR in all directions.  So, there have to be at least 10^40 stars, probably alot more.  And there's a good chance there's life on each of them.

But are we being visited by aliens?  No.  Despite millions of UFO and abduction reports, there is no really credible evidence.  That suggests that either we're being routinely visited by aliens at high frequency, or that we have mass hypnosis. Both claims are extraordinary!  Dr. Sagan lays out the evidence and the logic to prove that we have mass hypnosis. The definitive answer about UFOs can be found in Carl Sagan's The Demon Haunted World, available in your local library. It's a must read.  But for the impatient, the main argument is this: before there were UFO reports, there were reports involving witches.  They share many common features.  And descriptions of aliens closely match the main stream media accounts - often speculations of scientists - of what aliens from various places might look like.
