Do you believe aliens exist?

[JuliusSeizure]

Lol, there is not even a hint of alien live.

They have detected some non-natural signals from other parts of the Universe, the Wow signal being one but even so, we can't really make real time contract.

If the Wow signal was indeed sent by an extraterrestrial civilization, they may have become extinct by the same the signal arrived to earth.

Aren't you a Christian? Explains why you don't understand basic laws of Mathematics. We can disprove Xianity as many of it's claims go against basic laws of nature. Basic laws of Maths suggests Aliens almost definitely exist.

 

[JuliusSeizure]

Aliens as in some or the other life form flying around solar systems and between galaxies? Hell no.

I think laws of Maths also mean that there are other civilizations flying around (maybe more advanced than us, maybe less) but the distances mean we won't make contact with them in our lifetimes. I personally don't think we will ever but we can't really discount it completely considering the rate of advancement of technology.

We may have detected a signal from an intelligent civilization already. This is one such candidate but sadly even if it is proven beyond any reasonable doubt that it is from an intelligent alien source, we will never really communicate with them. Sending a single message would take years to get there and receiving a response the same amount of time.

So a Christian doesn't understand mathematics? WTF is Xianity ? That shows your laziness.
Now use your basic laws of Maths and show me an Alien.

Did you see my post earlier about how big the observable universe is and approximately how many stars there are in said universe? We keep on discovering new species on Earth every year.

5000 new species discovered this year in one spot:

More than 5,000 new species discovered in Pacific deep-sea mining hotspot

A wealth of biodiversity has been found in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone, an area earmarked for exploitation by mineral firms

www.theguardian.com

Now, we can't see what's on the surfaces of the planets out of our solar system. There's more stars out there than what there is sand on earth. That's not even to mention how many planets there are for every system.

That's the most basic I can make it for you. If you can't figure it out from there then an alien can come pee in your eye and you still won't believe it.

To add to this, scientists have also found earth-like planets in the habitable zones of other solar systems. Sadly, we aren't getting there in our lifetimes.

Some of these planets could be theoretically survivable for humans. The only way we will know for sure if they have life is by detecting definitive biosignatures but it will be tricky with today's tech.

 

[Jean Claude Vaaldamme]

Do I believe aliens exist? Probably somewhere
Do I believe anyone on earth has seen or encountered one? No and definitely not the Americans.

I did not see your post earlier BUT i do know about the vastness of our universe.
The fact that there's billion and billion of stars, other "planets" etc doesn't proof the existence of aliens.

 

[r00igev@@r]

The aliens communicate on this forum in code. Most forum members are aliens and BWANA is the big alien cheese.

No, it doesn't but it does make it very likely.

Good luck with that.

Lets say that you create a computer simulation (think of an advanced sim city with AI beings). You have setup parameters/limitations for the AI beings within your simulation. Are you able to feed new events /objects (code) into your simulation that goes against the parameters/laws that you have set? Why not?

 

[Moosedrool]

Universe of is too massive to think life on another planet somewhere doesn’t exist. Even intelligent life, despite being a anomaly of a anomaly the requirements is just a odd brain mutation.

I don’t believe aliens ever visited us.

Why would they? (If the technology exists to travel across the galaxy / universe why focus your attention on this planet?)

Why would they send themselves? (Consider our research in space. We send probes everywhere.)

 

[Solver]

Yes. Feels like a waste of space otherwise. There are more stars than there are grains of sand on earth. I'd like to believe that the truth is out there

Today, we think the speed of light is the ultimate barrier

But what if it was not so?

We have "proved" that nothing can travel faster than light

But we are on the cusp of developing Quantum computers where atomic particles thousands of km apart can change state simultaneously.

Before I read of the conditions and the lack of transmittable data - are you thinking using 2023 science?

To a person living in 1850, a mobile phone would appear as magic

The speed of light thing is misleading. SR tells you with enough rocketry or some kind of device creating extended force you can travel vast distances without the speed of light concern.

Time is the concern.

You can build a theoretical rocket which travels across the milkyway in a couple of years. But you sacrifice 100000 years of time.

You cannot travel faster than light for a observer. But you can travel faster and faster. Planets will contract, time wil be slowed down immensely and onboard it will feel perfectly normal. A observer will only see you travelling close to the speed of light.

 

[gotaway]

This is my take on things:

Aliens, monsters, demons, devils, angels, [g|G]ods are most likely all the same thing, namely non-terrestrial intelligences that visited / interfered / interacted with our little blue planet and its inhabitants at all levels: ecosystem, plants, animals (humans included).

Just different explanations across the ages, based at the then current level of technology and believes.

Vimanas, UFOs, UAPs, pillars of smoke, etc. most likely refers to transportation devices used by said visitors.

So we get to time travel at the same time? Sweet!

Quantum entanglement. Reminds me of this interview:

Some real fanciful claims are made in that interview.
