If the Big Bang Theory and aliens exist, would all life exist within the same scientific achievement timeline?

Question

This Question is in regards to Existance forming at the same time and scientific marvel being related to time, and if Alien travel could be possible if we do not share the same technology, and if so could any life create travel before the said life would distroy there own world with that type of advance technology.

Answer 1

good question, i guess the answer would be yes since all of the life would come from the same place and would evolve at about the same time unless the conditions were perfect on that planet since here on earth it took very long becasue of the coments and stuff crashing into the earth

Answer 2

While this question is completely incoherent, I am sure that the answer is NO.

Answer 3

I think what you are asking is "if life exists elsewhere, must it evolve into a technology based species such as our own?" - if that is your question in a nutshell, my answer would have to be no.

Life on this planet existed for hundreds of millions of years with no need to develop technology. There seems to be a lot of variables that go into deciding whether or not a species will develop technology. I think you need at least the following:

- a need for technology

- a species with motility (I can move around)

- a disparity of resources (food there, not here)

- an ability to easily manipulate the environment (flippers won't do)

- a species that has communal bonds (we work as a team)

Because these requirements may occur at nearly any given time after a planet develops motile life, it is almost impossible to predict when a species would "go technical". This implies that nearly every technical species in the galaxy would be a VASTLY different stages of technical progress.

Our knowledge of stellar evolution indicates that our sun is at least a 2nd generation star relative to the big bang - meaning, that the material that formed our solar system is composed of material from a previous star (or stars) that went supernova and blew its guts to smithereens all over the local area of space and created a nebula kind of like what we see in the famous Crab Nebula in the constellation of Orion.

The implication of our sun being a 2nd generation star is that we have enough of the heavier elements needed to form and sustain life and a solid planet to walk upon (oxygen, carbon, calcium, silicon, etc).

Some theorists have conjectured that intelligent life could not have formed in first generation star systems - and maybe even that such star systems would not have formed planets with solid surfaces (no heavy elements at the time).

So, there is some evidence that we MIGHT be the first intelligent technical species in this section of the galaxy, however, based upon the vast number of star systems in play, I doubt it. I think there are too many unknown variables at the moment to make a more educated guess on the topic.

If there really ARE other intelligent technical species in the galaxy, then the odds are they are WAY more advanced than we are (technically speaking).

Disparity in technical advancement when two differing societies meet has played out before  - even on this planet. When the Spanish conquistadors arrived in central America and met up with the Mayans, things didn't go so well. The Spanish obviously had the upper hand and the Mayans were either wiped out, forced into slavery, or driven off.

Hopefully, if another technical species from elsewhere finds us, they will have advanced to the point of benign benevolence.....in fact, maybe that's why we haven't detected anyone out there yet - they don't want to be found and they have the technology to keep us from finding them :)

Answer 4

THERE WAS NO BIG BANG!

Answer 5

If you're asking should all life in the universe evolve at the same pace, since it all started at the same time with the big bang, I'd say no.  Our sun is a second or third generation star, so there would have been lots of others that got a head start over us.  Moreover, it took over 3 billion years for intelligent life to evolve here, which was probably largely due to random chance.  If the dinosaurs wouldn't have been wiped out by a random asteroid collision, for example, one of them might have become an intelligent species tens of millions of years ago.

Answer 6

Big Bang is Bunk!

However, let's suppose that stars and galaxies first appeared in all large regions of the universe at roughly the same time---give or take 100 million years. Then conditions favorable to life might have been randomly sprinkled among the galaxies at roughly the same time. However, the randomness of the sprinkling far outweighs the relatively uniform ages of planets. Most planets may never develop life, but life would have evolved rapidly on a very small number of planets in each galaxy.

It took about 4.5 billion years for life to develop on Earth, but our galaxy existed for billions of years before the Earth formed. Perhaps intelligent life evolved in our galaxy before the Earth formed. Perhaps that life destroyed itself; perhaps not. If near-light-speed travel and faster-than-light communication can never be achieved by any beings, no matter how advanced, then intelligent beings from other planets might still exist only in isolated pockets of our galaxy.

If life here developed at random, without any influence from beyond our solar system, then our technology might be just getting started, while life a few hundred light-years away took off exponentially billions of years ago. Life that evolved in other galaxies is far more likely to have evolved independently of life in our galaxy. And some galaxies are Billions of years older than others. So no; it is ridiculous to expect civilizations in all parts of the universe to have evolved about the same time.

The only way that intelligent life could colonize an entire galaxy would be faster than light travel. Not counting science fiction fantacy, that violates our present understanding of physical existence.

By "alien travel", do you mean faster-than light travel? If that has been achieved by any civilization, then the question becomes, "How much faster than light?"

Answer 7

Can you rephrase the question, I do not understand a word of it, but whatever it is you are trying to say my answer is No.

Answer 8

Most of us here are just plain folk. Could you rephrase your question a little please?
