It is fascinating to see how sure some of you are of something that there is absolutely no proff of. Reminds me of religious zealouts.
Proof of life on other planets is impossible because of the distances involved. The nearest star to us, the sun, is reachable in 8 minutes at the speed of light.
Sirius, the next closest star to us, is reachable in 8.6 years traveling at the speed of light. (speed of light = 186,000 miles per second).
The fastest rocket going 90,000 miles per hour (ignoring fuel needs and other logical things) would take 64,066 years to reach Sirius. ....So, barring any interdimensional wormholes or whatever, unless said possible intelligent life form has a life span of 64,000 years, we are never going to see it..
And of course I'm talking about life only near the next nearest star. The milky way galaxy has 400 Billion of them. Scientists have determined that one in five stars in our galaxy has an earth-sized planet in a habitable zone. That means that there are 80 billion chance of life spawning on another planet just in our galaxy alone.
oh yeah and there's about 225 billion galaxies.
Considering the physical impossibility of "proof" coupled with the 180,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 opportunities for life (80 billion times 225 billion), what is the thought process involved in thinking that , no...we are the only ones. http://splitsider.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/meganamram.jpg
P.S. I like this picture
It's what hubble captured on what was thought to be a dark, empty part of the night sky about the size of a keyhole.
Proof of life isn't impossible! A radio/light/microwave signal would only take the 8.6 years to reach us, and could be enough evidence to assure us of life elsewhere. And, like I mentioned before, we may have life inside this very solar system, on Mars or Europa. 90,000 mph is not even close to the hypothetical top speed that we can travel. If a roundish asteroid were hollowed out and made into a wessel it could be accelerated to at least half the speed of light. At such a high velocity, the travellers would experience relativistic travel. A 20-40 year journey would be only a few years to the inhabitants of the "ship". This is why the Fermi paradox exists, even given the ridiculously vast distances, "local" areas could be reached by advanced (and lucky) lifeforms.
And if we receive a signal, should we answer? Should we send out our own signal, not knowing who might answer?
This exact question was being discussed this week by people from all sorts of disciplines, from astronomers to science fiction writers.
Aren't we assuming time and distance are travelled at our know methods.When I would think space travel has to be done be folding time and spaceLike it was said "wormholes". So if any other life for who visits us would indeed have already mastered this concept right?Imo that would make them much more advanced then us.
It is funny how you can use religion as and argument for the existence of life outside the earth and I can use it as an argument against the existence of other life forms.
On this note... I am assuming that all those people hanging out in heaven don't count as life outside the earth.
I'm not completely sure where heaven is, but I think if we ever do come across it, we should be careful not to confuse it as proof of 'alien' existence. It might be particularly difficult if all those souls take another form to confuse us.

well they said they don't know what it is and are only guessing that it is a alien radio signal (along with a few other options) but it was still an interesting read.

yeah, seems more likely that it came from an exploding star. I didn't even know radio signals existed in nature until now.
Radio just denotes a particular frequency range of electromagnetic radiation. Some of the other well-known frequency ranges are microwaves, xrays, cosmic rays, the visible light spectrum, infrared, and ultraviolet... They all travel at tje same speed, 299,792,458 m/s. Lightning bolts produce radio waves!
My mind was blown when I first learned of the vast reaches of electromagnetism! It's not cool that American education does such a poor job of teaching the "big picture" aspects of science like this one.
this is very interesting for me..i don't care if are the Russians or aliens..i only know that..every day around the planet happens lot of ''weird'' things..some can explain,some are hoax and some are mystery..thats a fact..and we can't deny..
