R there other civilizations in r universe?

Question

r there different species of life in r universe

Answer 1

To deny such a concept would be ignorance.

There are bound to be other forms of life in the universe, even if they do not live life in terms that we recognize.

Like air or gravity, even though we can't see it, we know it is there. We can see their effects often enough, but not see it directly.

Answer 2

There is life for sure, single celled organisms are all over the universe (and beyond-there's a lot of space in space.) The question of civilization is a different question. I just think we have to wait and see, its just like when everyone thought the world was flat and then all of a sudden it was round. Humanity gets these moments. Still, they've walked on the moon and found water on Mars, I guess that's a lot of progress for one lifespan, I guess I'll just settle back on my laurels now.

Answer 3

Probably.

Answer 4

i want to believe so yet there's no proof

i mean how can this planet be the ONLY planet to sustain life

in the ENTIRE universe

Answer 5

i want to believe there are but as of yet there is no proof.

Answer 6

Yes. My in-laws are living proof. =)

Answer 7

Since we haven't actually found other life out there, currently the answer is No

Sure there might be, and there probably is, but the question only asks if there is life, but we can only assume, much like we can assume theres a cure for HIV, but since no one's discovered it, we can only say there is no cure for HIV

Answer 8

you know what to be honest i have come to the conclusion that there isn't and we are the only ones. No evidence, no proof, no nothing. Anything I might see will probably be artificial probably by the government. And also if there were i would think as of aliens as just creatures or animals/insects nothing as great as us.

Answer 9

I'm sure there are but I doubt if they find anything remarkable about this tiny mudball.

Answer 10

Yes, we are not alone.

Answer 11

Yes, i believe there is life beyond our solar system.

Answer 12

the probability is yes.  the vastness of time and space is so large our minds can barely comprehend it.   the problem is we are too far apart to be able to communicate or travel to other solar systems in time to visit eachother.  i would prefer a galaxy more like star trek or something where we could all hang out and party.  its really a shame, because they probably have some sweet party favors.....or at least some blue chicks with 3 b*****s or something cool....

to have life the way we define it here on earth, you don't need that much stuff.  not many conditions.  so it is probable.  just some amino acids and a bunch of water and the right temperature, some electricticy.....etc....  it seems that when the conditions for life are ideal, it can happen very easily when we think in terms of simple chemical reactions.    

i need a bonghit....

Answer 13

The universe is so huge containing so many galaxy-clusters, it is easy to agree that we r not alone, and there are other "humans" somewhere.

I tend to agree with Mr Kwan a friend of mine in Hongkong, who was told by angels that there are 51 planets with similare "humans" as we.

Answer 14

Let's suppose there are! Because the chances are great!

Then: The chance would be very small that the local evolution would produce the same type of plants, animals etc.

The chance would be zero that human like creatures (including Michael Jackson) would develop that would also have build McDonalds and Spacecrafts and talk a language...

So the answer is Yes, but you wouldn't be able to invite them for coffee!

Answer 15

Well if it is just us in this whole universe, then it seems to me like an awful waste of space.

Answer 16

No one knows

Answer 17

do you really think that with the billions of planets out there, that we are the only ones. Use Your Head!!!!!

Answer 18

Nobody knows for sure. Yes, there's lot of pictures of shiny lights in the sky and whatnot, but until a bunch of aliens pop down and are displayed on national television, I'm not going to lean either way.

Answer 19

We haven't found any, but the universe is really, really huge.

Even our own galaxy is huge -- hundreds of billions of stars.

There's an equation someone developed to calculate the probability of there being other civilizations -- the problem is, we don't know what numbers to plug in for all the variables.

We don't know how common life is -- any life. Then there the question of how often, when there is life, that there is life that creates civilization.

I suspect there are other species of life, and likely other civilizations. But it's all just that, speculation.

Answer 20

idk, water was discovered on mars, but im not really sure, im a christian and im not sure what the bible says bout like aliens and stuff, unless u just mean like plants and stuff, im sure thats possible!

Answer 21

In 1961 Frank Drake developed an equation to determine the possibility of other extrat-terrestrial civilizations. He used the following factors:

the rate of star formation in the galaxy (gs)  

*  stars that can support planets (fs)  

*  the fraction of planets that are habitable (ne)  

*  the fraction of planets on which life originates (fl)  

*  fraction of planets in which a lifeform has evolved to intelligence. (fi)  

*  fraction of those, that have technology and will to communicate. (fc)  

*  is the mean lifetime (yrs.) of a communicative civilization.(L)  

=  Number of Communicative Civilizations (N)

The equation is:     N=R*fs*fp*ne*fl*fi*fc*L

Since my math is at the change-making level. try the following sites to learn more about what the equation is and how it works. My understanding is that, no matter what the numbers you plug in are, there's likely a lot of other civilizations out there.

The "however" is interstellar travel isn't like "Star Trek" The distances are vast and there's no technology to bypass the speed limit (186,000 MPS) In fact the closer you get to the spedd of light the more power you require. There may be dozens of civilizations close by, but we'll never know.
