Title: Life out of our Solar system? Wait, what?
Post by: Reece on March 28, 2012, 05:22:22 pm
(http://regmedia.co.uk/2012/03/28/new_gliese_concept.jpg)THE Milky Way is home to tens of billions of rocky planets - including about 100 nearby - that could potentially harbour life, a new study has concluded.

Astronomers spent six years observing 102 of the most common type of stars in our galaxy, known as red dwarfs, to come up with this direct estimate of planets in the habitable zones around them.
They calculated that about 40 per cent of red dwarfs have super-earths - planets with masses between one and ten times that of Earth - in the not-too-close, not-too-distant zone where liquid water can exist.

The research team leader, Xavier Bonfils, said about 160 billion red dwarfs - fainter, cooler and longer-lasting stars than the sun - exist in the Milky Way.

''Because red dwarfs are so common this leads us to the astonishing result that there are tens of billions of these planets in our galaxy alone,'' Dr Bonfils, of the University of Grenoble in France, said.
Within 30 light years of earth, there are probably one hundred of these super-earths in habitable zones, he said.

While the temperature on these planets would be suitable for liquid water, red dwarf stars commonly experience eruptions or flares.
The x-rays and ultraviolet radiation released by these stellar events could reduce the chances of life existing there, the researchers said.

They used a European Southern Observatory telescope in Chile to make the observations and the results are to be published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.
In the past 16 years astronomers have detected more than 700 planets outside our solar system, many of them massive planets, similar to Jupiter or Saturn, more than 100 times bigger than Earth.

The latest study, which looked at changes in the light spectrum of the stars to infer the presence of planets, suggests these giants are rarely found around red dwarfs.

So maybe not in our lifetime, but perhaps in a couple of hundred years the human race could begin expanding and living out of this galaxy! Incredible!

Do you think that human-like species exist out of our World? Is it possible we could life out of this world? EARTH LIKE PLANETS, could they be new homes?

What do you think?

Believing there is no other life in another solar system is just wrong.

I disagree. Once one is dead, one is dead. There is no life after death.

Seems more than reasonable to assume life exists on other planets. I disagree that the most we would find is microbes though. Look at our planet...it was not necessarily the first planet to harbour life. If our planet can pruduce so many creatures, then surely other planets could have creatures not unlike the ones we have on Earth. By that, I mean split into categories, vaguely:
- Birds
- Mammals
- Amphibians
- Fish

E.g.
If theres water, it is likely creatures will mutate to live in it. The technique may be different of course.

As for death...I guess thats a discussion for another topic ;)

But the conditions on Earth are 100% perfect for life. All the other earth-like planets found so far have a flaw. Some orbit red dwarfs, causing loads of X-Rays, some are tidally locked etc etc. Also a lot depends on the ammount of greenhouse gases for the temprature. I doubt there's many perfect planets like Earth out there, and what are the chances of those having life on them too? Not a lot.

There is life found in the hottest vulcanoes, there is life found in the coldest icy places. There is life found 10Km under the sea. All places where we could not survive. So that a planet is not placed perfect for our species does not mean there can not be intelligent life. Somewhere a 15-year old green blob is typing the same thing you just typed...

So, you do not believe a single spark that life do exist after death? You mean that we are brought to earth, doing our useless things, then dying.
Sounds to me like it's completely rubbish.
Dying is also one of the finest thing you can ever imagine. Once one is about to die, everything disappears, not a single nervousity, not a single frustration over some abnormal shitty thing.
It would be even more rubbish if it ends there. Maybe we all have lived repeated life's on different solar systems, we just don't know it.

Perfect for the life on Earth. For example, there are living microbes living right in volvanoes...where surely they should burn to death. They could evolve into bigger creatures, but for now they are small.
No-one knows where evolution will take us, or other places.

There are billions of planets that are in the 'life zone' which means on a distance from a star that there can be running water and an atmosphere like on Earth. All these planets have existed for billions of years.
To believe that with all these planets we are the only intelligent life form is underestimating nature and its processes.
The main thing that would prevent contact is the speed of light. If it indeed can not be broken, it will be nearly impossible to explore other planets.

Also you have to consider the lifetime of a sentient species, in terms of finding intelligent life. Unless a civilisation manages to escape their home planet in a big way before running out of resources and annihilating themselves, we're incredibly unlikely to actually find them.

Compare the lifetime of Earth to that of the modern human race. Even moreso, compare how long we've existed to how long our galaxy or the universe has existed. It's an impossibly minute point in time that we're here, and the fact that we haven't had some kind of alien contact means one of two things:


I'm an optimist so, quite frankly, fuck the second option being the truth. That would just be boring.

With all the shit that happens on this planet, I doubt a highly superior civilization would want to waste their time interfering with us anyway.

Suppose it was possible for technology of a high enough caliber to find a way around the light barrier, should it be impossible to break it... some would still wonder why a highly superior civilization would not explain themselves to us.

You are superior to a cockroach, have you ever tried explaining yourself to them?

There is intelligent life, thats for sure.

I mean seriously, what are the odds that we wont find life? one out of unlimited?

And whats the odds that none of these species are intellgent? one out of unlimited?

and what are the odds that we are the most advanced of all? one out of unlimited?

there is intelligent life out there, one that isnt divided up into countries and works together as a race.

Plus, there are numerous signs of extra terresrial presense all over the world, just because we recently discovered a telescope doesnt mean that all the phenomenons are just starting up randomly, its been going on for years.

a ancient civilization(i forgot the name, i think started with a S).
Their cavepaints show that giant ships, similiar in shape to our rocket ships were landed, and they gave off a red flame on touching the earth(but they didnt write that part in words, the cavepaints could be mistakenly misinterpreted as landing when it is takeoff, just like us!)
These cavepaints were all found in 1911 no less, much before the space programs

Then comes God, ever wonder why civilizations all over the world has the same idea of a system of God, with no connection to each other's systems? surely they didnt learn it from eachother...

Then theres numerous UFO sightings(mainly from 1947, which over a million people claimed to see UFOs, and then FBI tells the UFOs were real).
Aliens exist, face it.

Or God could actually exist and could have been working by using what we have documented as "science" instead of "almighty God-like powers". We never know. :)

One thing for sure though, is the existence of intelligent life out there. I do not believe humanity is the most advanced species in the universe either, with the sheer number of galaxies and the time they've had to develop.

There HAS to be some sort of life outside of Earth. It just makes no sense that there wouldn't even be microbial life outside of this planet.

I was going to go into a bunch of math mumbo-jumbo about the number of stars in the Milky Way galaxy, the number of galaxies, etc., but a simple google search had multiple sources telling me there are 30 sextillion to a septillion stars within the observable universe (who the hell would remember all of that shit?), saving me from brain meltdown. That's 30,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 to 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars, zeroes included to put things into perspective. Now, given that there is a chance that these numbers could be off, it goes without saying that there are a shit ton of stars. It can be assumed that there are as many planets as there are stars, given that some star systems have many planets, while others have none. There is no logic in saying that the solar system, with 8 major planets, four of which are terrestrial with only one inhabitable and currently inhabited (as far as our current knowledge goes), is the only star system out of one septillion stars with life in it. It's a given that beyond the observable universe, there are tons and tons more of stars. How could even those not have life, not a single microbe? The universe is an absolutely gigantic place, we all know that. But few people actually bother to take a step back and realize how inferior they really are and how much they underestimate what "big" really is. My state is big. My country enormous. My continent is gargantuan. My planet? It goes without saying that I as a human being aren't even a shitlet when compared to it. So when we stretch beyond the boundaries of this planet out to our solar system, our galaxy, to our entire universe... it really puts things into perspective. This source (http://articles.cnn.com/2003-07-22/tech/stars.survey_1_sextillion-big-number-universe?_s=PM:TECH) says that there ten times as many stars as there are grains of sand in the entire world's beaches and deserts. Can you spell holy shit?

I am 100% sure that there is life out there. Even if these gigantic estimates of the numbers of planets and stars in our (observable) universe are way off, there just HAS to be. Will I see it discovered within my lifetime? Perhaps microbes, but to come in contact with intelligent life within my years would fulfill every hope and dream I would ever have, and should I come to this point, I'd be happy dying before I even got laid.

Humans could definatly expand far out, IN OUR LIFETIMES, look at what we've achieved in the past 112 years, the invention of that shitty biplane turned into high speed prop planes in no time, and then prop planes turned into jet engines even faster, brick phones turned into credit card sized paper thin touch screen computer in only 20 years, as technology advances each day, the possibily of doing more and more with the technology becomes more real, they could discover how to harness the power of dark matter to make their ships travel far further at much higher speed at any time, nothing really stopping the human race from doing it apart from the lack of knowledge.

At the rate our space program is going right now, I doubt.

Everyone always considers life to exist on other planets, but what if the search goes on for so long its just assumed we are the only known habitable planet. Wouldn't that be weird? Just thinking that with all of the masses of stars and planets, we are the only one to sustain life.... would just extend the importance of one's life.

If we are the ONLY alive beings in entire UNIVERSE, than how do you explain UFO's?

There was an UFO case from 1893. Some air vehicle the size of a blimp moving at (approxemeatly, compared to today's speed) jumbo jet speed. That UFO crashed, and hit a windmill. It happened in USA, in the city of Aurrora (idk if it is the correct name). After the crash, they found an aluminium like metal, and in middle of all of that, they found an alien body. That body was burried on a local cementeary. They made a toomstone wich had picture of that UFO. Metal from wich that UFO was made was radioactive. Also, History channel was there, and they recovered a piece of that metal. They took it to lab, and tested it. They figured out that that metal did NOT BELONG TO ANY OF THE EARTH ELEMENTS! Hey, if that AINT big enough proof, than, only proof valid to you is an actual alien coming to your house, and punching you in the face...

It's kind of impossible that Earth could be the only planet with intelligent life or just plain life at all, theres so many stars, with so many planets on each star, scientists estimate that the Milky Way could contain upwards of 50 billion planets, and 500 million could be habitable.

You said your dad says 'the faster you learn, the better' but, whats happening with you? If UFOs were flying round us on a daily occurrence we'd have more than just videos of a floating white light in the sky, it'd be nearly impossible for any government to hide any contact from outside, or inside from life that developed elsewhere in the solar system, honestly man I see so many posts from you and nearly all of them have no realistic facts or just anything of interest at all.

I believe there were plenty of "UFOs" as early as late 19th century as it means, by definition, an unidentified flying object.

If you're talking about flying saucers, the things aliens in pop culture commonly fly in, then it's more of an "FO", a flying object.

Not that we'll ever be able to confirm it.

The fact that they hide it means its a ruse.
And the fact that it is discovered is the reason they fill bullshit, so the aircraft probably didnt accelrate that much, but since thats impossible, you overlook the whole thing :)
That is why area 51 dwelled till 2000, everyone though of it as aliens, and since aliens didnt exist so didnt a military weapon testing base.

Dont get the wrong impression of me, im not a conspiracy theorist but after area 51 and the giant weapon testing things(and the U.S admitting to it in 2003) i really dont believe any "supernatural" things that happen in the U.S

No to both of you actually, space is infinite and finite at the same time due to dark energy inflation. Things are pushing eachother apart, so actually its impossible for you to jump from one galaxy to another since dark energy pushes galaxies at near-light speeds which is very hard to reach, and even if you do so you cant jump between clusters of galaxies due to that being faster than light. So yeah its impossible for us to get contacted from another cluster of galaxies.

Also for the multiverse theory, it has also been proved and is called "eternal inflation", it was proven that universes exist and push eachother apart at a speed faster than light. Also as for seperate laws, partially.
It cant be so that theres another universe with magic or shit...but cosmological laws may vary in value(e.g - value of dark energy(which if different obiviously would lead to a different sort of cosmological formations and not solar systems and galaxies)).

So, you do not believe a single spark that life do exist after death? You mean that we are brought to earth, doing our useless things, then dying.
Sounds to me like it's completely rubbish.
Dying is also one of the finest thing you can ever imagine. Once one is about to die, everything disappears, not a single nervousity, not a single frustration over some abnormal shitty thing.
It would be even more rubbish if it ends there. Maybe we all have lived repeated life's on different solar systems, we just don't know it.

When the Europeans colonized America, it meant the downfall of native American civilization.

One of the laws of progress is that lesser civilizations will be overwhelmed by superior ones when contact is established and continued. Any civilization that can make its way across hundreds / thousands of light years to get here should be easily capable of wiping us out.

Yes thats true but it depends on whether the alien race has technology that could beat ours, maybe their ships they came here in could be downed with electric weapons, maybe they have an access point where their propulsion systems work though that we could shove a nuke in and down the ship as a whole, maybe they can't detect our nuclear submarines and they can continue any long term attacks, you have to remember their ships may be designed for distant travel, but maybe not defence again weapons of another race, I know their ships should be protected with some special shield defence so that space rocks don't bust their way in whilst they are going light speed, but theres always the possibility they werent expecting us, to be the way we are and have weapons we do, even though our weapons may be minor to them, they may still have a positive impact for us.

The more of the alien ships you take down, the less time they can stay, when you start bringing them down day by day, they would be forced to leave, they could of course probibly obliterate the whole planet in 1 killign us all, but I doubt they would. :D

  In the vast expanses of the universe the chances are that there is most definitely more life out there. (Statistically, we are proof of life in the universe and if the universe is inifinetely large, chances are there will be more life).

The problem is that is extremely unlikely we can detect it. We cannot travel at anywhere near speed of light and it may take over a thousand years to get any probe near these planets. Our reach into space is extremely limited.

  But who knows, maybe one day we will get another Einstein who can find how to apply quantum theory for time travel.

That is one of the viable theories. DNA research has shown we were once near extinction, down to a couple of thousand or even couple of hundred individuals living near the Middle East.
From there something was developed that made us spread around the globe.
What was before that time, and what developments were are stil open for debate.

We did not descend from monkeys. We share a common ancestor with apes but evolved divergently from them.

A common misconception, we still ARE primates...
The last homo evolution was WAY before the dinosaur period, so we invented fire and wheel and all that other shit in our homo form(our current form) and in the same form we also ran through the forests for prey for many millenias.

Your psychology is that of a primate too, yes you still think like a primate, just a larger knowledgebase which makes you act differently, other than that we still classify people into Good, Bad, Prey. We also get overloaded very fast and easy(its hard to notice this though).

Yes.

It would be more appropriate to refer to the area as Asia.
Yes, you're all blacks.

It seems you have something against Russians that you are so much in denial about it.
Native Russian Drumming (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQ7Q74lWSFU#)
Deny that these are extremely close to Native Americans, considering there is a minimal 7000 year gap in development.

If you wanna think we come from  monkeys go ahead. That is a theory of Darwin if not correct but I choose not to follow it. I am not saying that God created human for sure, I like to see things spherically but I strongly object Darwin's theory about where we come and how we developed in the ages. There's just no proof for either of theories, call that a mystery
You can choose not to spot an elephant in the room.
The religous creation stories all have extremely unlikely elements, showing they were created by humans trying to answer questions they can not answer.
If you study the theory of Darwin, you will find it does not handle the origin of life, only what happened once it came in to existence. And there is more than a little proof to show that this is correct.

Confirmation bias, they will resist it, so would you if you were so religious.
Plus, science does not accept nor deny the existence of God, it only asks "where is God?", science's job is to state the facts, you tell it where God is, and it will search there to find him. Plus the system we live in, it is extremely complex.

Also sabreman, we ARE monkeys. You simply are intelligent, you ARENT any special that any other kind of monkey, matter of fact some monkeys are smarter than you(but since they dont have a base, they cant take intelligent decisions).
Personally, i dont think such a complex system popped up on its own, cause i dont think magic particles appear from "magic" each time a electron goes defective to replace it. Something or body is maintaining it, many scientists also agree that the laws might very well be written and be maintained by something(or body..). But if they are, then the body controlling the universe is going to be vastly different from the system of God, and i doubt he wants sacrificed n shit, if it wants anything at all.

Also, the rest of your post is ... well ... i dont think the other animals are mindless zombies ...
Also no, your mind thinks like a monkey, its designed for jumping in forests from branch to branch and poking shit into animals in groups. If you need clarification on that you may ask a psychologist(and i really hope you see one, to sort out that massive blob of confirmation bias), matter of fact almost every major mistake in human history occured because of our monkey-mind not being able to cope with the modern world(which your mind, actually, does not comprehend and thinks of as a strange jungle, and keeps trying to make sense of it).Also, you STILL live like a monkey, just your way of living is different. Before you jumped around in herds, now you jump around in groups of families,countries,religion e.t.c.

Face it, the same hands you have were used by your ancestors to jump from branch to branch. The same mouth you had was used to eat others and sometimes even other primates(yes your a primate).Also, there was never "one" kind of human beings, and if you havent learnt that in school yet i need to doubt the education that your ranting about. Matter of fact just like theres many species of animals, there used to be MILLIONS(estimated) of species of humans, most hunted in groups and hunted eachother and prey. You were the most dangerous people in the forest, when in your herd :)

Magic and god - why do you consider these things so far apart? They're essentially the same concept.

Oh please, do lead the way. I will when you begin to at least attempt to think for yourself.


People need to stop just throwing away any proper search for answers, with religion.
You can convince yourself all you want, but at the end of the day I will only accept the truth, not an (arguably) comforting lie. I cannot just pretend that I have the answers when we as a race clearly do not. Religious people who cannot accept that there are still unanswered questions can live in their (frankly, quite childish) lie for as long as they want, but I for one will remain open to new facts, and new concepts.

Unanswered questions lead to the seeking of new answers, and eventually the learning of great deals of new information. If we all just accepted any old lie, we would never advance intellectually as a race.
I can accept that there are unanswered questions, and things that we do not yet understand. Why can't you?

The Apes which humans evolved from were already evolving at a much faster rate to nearly all other creatures on the planet, we are still evolving, animals are still evolving, Earth is still very young compared to most planets in the solar system which means we and animals are still at a very young age of evolution, it's proven that the human race is still evolving, for example we are getting shorter and skinnier as time goes by due to our reliance on machinery.

I find it hilarious that religious zealots will speak against the theory of evolution due to lack of proof, and yet they willingly accept a god whose existence they justify with unfalsifiable hypotheses. May I direct some of you folks to Russell's teapot analogy?

"If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time."

Attacking religion uselessly will get you nowhere, you would act EXACTLY the same if you were raised up in kalvin and sabre's surroundings(i.e pakistan, many people believe in islam there).
You cant just throw them out, as confirmation bias steps in, preventing anything that goes against its own. So no, they are not retarded(well technically we are all retarded like hell, did you know that you actually take barely 0.00000000000000000000001 percent of all the decisions you think you make?).
Their mind and your mind think of different theories, you cant change that unless the knowledge is properly overwritten by authority. i.e Unless someone like pope or their parents or anyone else they have good respect for introduces them to the concept

Short story: Attacking them here like this makes it worse.

Not really, since atheists do not pretend to know the origin of the universe. Generally the most clearly rejected ideas of a deity are those that stem from organised religion.
Also, pretty much all atheists are agnostic. Contrary to that, most theists are gnostic.

Here is a helpful chart:

As Leon said, most atheists follow the logic of Russell's teapot analogy.



@exterminator
I do indeed find it fascinating that we as a race have come up with such a concept as religion. Personally, I believe that it stems from the failure to accept that not everything can be explained, yet. Many are weak and almost cannot live without some kind of crutch beneath them that can answer all questions and give them some kind of perceived support in life.

It used to be thought that lightning was the wrath of god. Indeed, disease was also blamed on the supernatural. We have since found both of these things to have very specific and scientifically verifiable causes. It is only a matter of time until many more questions are answered. We'll never answer them all, but we'll keep trying anyway - and that's why the human race has done so well. Because we thirst for knowledge, and will always look for answers.
Those that are religious have given up looking for correct answers and instead settle for lies. They have given up that which is important for our race, and they hold us back with promises of easy answers - all of which are nothing but puerile fabrications created by scared men who were unwilling to continue the search for answers that has lead our race to where it is now. It is quite honestly my hope that religion is bred out of the developed world within a single figure of generations, however I feel that I may be overestimating the strength of will of the common person. Let us hope not, or else we'll be held back forever on our search for answers in the future.

Actually your partially wrong, while arguement from ignorance breeds such ideas, they then stick to it. It is impossible to weed out arguement from ignorance without turning your mind into a zombie, so no even if religion goes away other ideas will form and stay. Matter of fact scientists estimate that only about 5 percent of known physics is actually true, so in the future it is likely that people may look back at us and laugh how stupid we were for believing many theories that in the future are disproven.

There are some things people should know before trying to attack each other.
1. Science and religion are not excluding each other. It is perfectly possible to be a scientist and be religious. However in certain areas (like evolutionay biology or archeology) a reasonable doubt does help.
2. It is impossible to prove something does not exist. That is the base of any religion. No scientist will ever be able to prove God does not exist, and no real scientist will ever try.
3. Science has the obligation to test and question every theory. This makes the science of evolution an easy target for religous people who point at constant research and adaptation due to scientists getting new knowledge in this field.
4. Science is like an episode of CSI: a crime is discovered and the police researches until the find who did it.
5. Religion is like an episode of Columbo: everyone knows who did it, the story is to find what gives the evidence.
6. The theory of evolution does not exclude the existance of God. It does however conflict with Earth being 6000 years old, as that has been proven impossible.

Don't get me wrong, if god was scientifically proven to exist (perhaps he is a powerful being from another planet, or something else that can theoretically be verified) then I would indeed "believe in god" because, hey, he would exist and there would be evidence for it.

in the future it is likely that people may look back at us and laugh how stupid we were for believing many theories that in the future are disproven.
And that will be absolutely fine, as long as those in the future do not continue to believe those theories that have been disproven. Refusal to accept new ideas (and in turn reject old ones) is part of the reason that religion still plagues our society today.

I do not laugh at those that were religious in the middle ages. I laugh at those that remain religious today.

Most people here know the concept of religion, regardless if its Islam, Christianity or other religions.
What you should try to explain is why you find it more believable that things which are according to modern science impossible happened, yet you refuse to accept a theory that nobody has been able to disprove in more than 100 years.

Ok, lets put an end to this religiouse stuff.

Gods (in ancient times) = EXTRATERESTRIALS!

In greek mithology gods have chariots of fire. That must be the proof of some kind of spacecraft that makes fire while taking off.
In indian mithology one god had some sort of miniature sciptar like thing that shoots BEAMS!
In christianity we got angels who have WINGS on theyre backs.  Wings are positioned on a such way, and they have such small size that those wings are incapable of lifting a human into the sky. So why they had wings? Whell, those aint wings, those are some sorts of jetpacs. Think bout it. We have jetpacks today that can take us up to 2400 meters into the sky.
In India (again) there is a story that my dad told me while we watched some story on history about ancient aliens. He told me of a story in some hoyl Hinduism book where is described A FREAKIN NUCLEAR WAR!

Also, in christianity (again) angels had the power to walk trough walls. Hmmm, that looks like hologram to me. DO NOT get me WRONG. I BEALIVE IN GOD, but all i am saying is that there is a posseability that GOD is just some supreme alien comander. Think bout that.

If the Ancient Greeks saw these 'chariots of fire' like UFO's they would have painted them that way, instead they painted them in after something that existed on the ground and pulled horses, hence they used their imaginations for the 'god' flying round story..

You seem not to understand. IN theyre minds, they figured it as "chariots". Also, HOW ARE YOU going to explain to a regular low minded human what you saw?  In those times ORDINEARY people were preatty low minded and stupid, so that was the ONLY way you could explain it easly to them.

Same is in christianity. The one who said that god made universe in 7 days actually knew that the process was going on for billions of years, but he needed to tell it to ordineary people in a simple way. (Now, you gonna ask how did he know how bout that, answer is that GOD told him that. God or extraterestrials).

While there is a possibility, as people will describe things in a way that is known to them, at the same time you would think the story to have some accurate information.

I'm quite sure there is life outside our system. Our system is only a small fraction of our galaxy. There are definatly other planets that are suitable for life, adapted to their planet. Perhaps we could not live there but other lifeforms could because they adapted to their planet like we adapted to ours.

What I wonder though is wether the technology of other species (if they should excist) stands further than us and would actually reach us first or not. Sounds all very unrealistic but I do believe one day, this may be possible in some way.
I'll be happy for myself to reach the moon once in my life though.  :razz:

Theoretically, there is one universe. This universe houses many galaxies. Every galaxy has many star clusters. in these star clusters there are many systems. Every system has their own planets. Each planet has a chance to be suitable for life. Earth is one amongst those.

If there is only one infinite universe, than how did it came to existance? I say that big bang theory is wrong. The reality of how universe came to existance is that 2 other universes colided. There are also theories taht every universe is like a soap bubble. There is probeably an infinite amount of them, and when some of them colide, a new universe comes to life. Now, in what space are those universes in, and how THEY came to existance i bealive NOONE can explain. It is just a big mistery that CANNOT be solved.

I had never heard about Multiverse so I believe in a single Universe. As you say, exterminator, the cause of inflation of the universe is because of the existence of other universes. The scientists still haven't seen or proved the existence of other Universes (or Multiverse). To actually prove it, the scientists will first need to create an object that will be able to cover the existing Universe which is impossible for now, it would take more than hundred thousand years to do that, they don't even have enough resources to start covering the universe. Plus, it hasn't been proven that universe is finite nor has it been proven that universe is infinite. To actually start searching for other universes, i think the scientists will have to discover whether the universe is finite or infinite. Until they find a way to reach parts of the universe beyond limitations of light, they won't discover if it's finite or infinite. So until they at least cover the entire existing universe, we can't say there is another universe.

Actually, they dont.
You see, it all depends on several factors, If multiverses really do exist then they obiviously didnt start off with the same conditions as us. Maybe the power of their bang was higher, maybe their amount of dark energy is higher(Ours is 10 to the power of -100 which is a REALLY small number). If their dark energy is different that will result in a different formation of the cosmic bodies, thus affecting gravity electromagnetivity and everything else.

Let me say it in a simpler way. You are on a stage, and your a actor. You are playing the universe.Whenever you need a prop, one is brought in.

The universe does just that, whenever i needs more particles, it summons matter and antimatter.

Because the prop is available in that case. The question here is, where are those matters summoned from?

Actually, they dont.
You see, it all depends on several factors, If multiverses really do exist then they obiviously didnt start off with the same conditions as us. Maybe the power of their bang was higher, maybe their amount of dark energy is higher(Ours is 10 to the power of -100 which is a REALLY small number). If their dark energy is different that will result in a different formation of the cosmic bodies, thus affecting gravity electromagnetivity and everything else.
There must be at least a single source that says that the other universes might have higher of what you call dark energy resulting in the formation of altered cosmic bodies. Do you have any such source?

What you should try to explain is why you find it more believable that things which are according to modern science impossible happened, yet you refuse to accept a theory that nobody has been able to disprove in more than 100 years.
Hi.

First off, look at yourself. You have arms, legs, and a head. Your body is great, almost too great for a random chance to have you evolved from sperm (that is the first living creature on Earth according to Science, no?) to such a great being. I believe it is highly improbably, like 0.000000001% chances that such can occur...

  Space and other living beings (aliens).. You believe there is a life outside of our Earth. If life is possible in other planets, we would've found it some time ago. Even if the climate is harsh (not extremely harsh) or cold (not extremely cold, I mean really extremely cold), the living beings that formed could have been made to survive it. Just like how your Science says we evolved from little creatures to this..

  Why choose Islam (and Qu'ran) over Science? Well, I've been thinking about it. I even started to have slight doubt Islam, once, to be honest. But then, I saw many points to support Islam, almost too many to convince myself purely. Some points that are in my mind:

1) Zam Zam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zamzam_Well)
A well / fountain that is flowing even before 600 AD (not sure, it was there before Muhammad(PBUH) was there, and I think Muhammad (PBUH) were living at around 600 AD) and is still flowing till today, and is said to persist until Apocalypse (in Quran). Till today Scientists have failed to explain where this water is coming from, a proof that Islam is real, so is Allah (our God).
(http://assets.pakwheels.com/forums/2009/2/16/image003_FZW_PakWheels%28com%29.jpg)
2) Quran itself a Proof (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quran)
By reviewing Quran, I have reached to the judgement that no mere human is able to write such a book. Quran is said to be written by Muhammad (PBUH), who was told what to write by Hazrat Jibraeel (what you call Archangel Gabriel), who passed on the  message of Allah. This is a book with clear message of Allah. It being so well structured and written, no way a human can write it. Therefore, I am pretty sure Quran itself is a proof to Islam's existence. Even if you do not believe this being the truth, in 600 AD, how can an Arabic manage to write such a fake book? How can the future generations (of 600 AD) also follow the path?

3) Why Would it be Fake?
The question that is in my mind, why would Islam be fake. It teaches us lessons, lessons about wrong-doings and righteous-doings. It teaches us a lot. It helps us to become a better human, why would anyone want to fake it? Of course it would take an extremely intellectual person to write such a book (Qu'ran) just to help humans walk in to the right path, which is very extremely improbable.

4) Us, other life, and probability
Another thing I often think about, ourselves. Look at yourself, look at the world we are in (Earth and humanity). It all looks, so great, so good, almost too good for such to occur by chance... You should not think about this very often, I heard it can be harmful for yourself: have you ever thought how it would be for you to never exist? How time would've never been in existence. Very confusing. Yes. If life is possible in other planets, wouldn't it be so that we would've found it by now? According to Science, we formed by a very long process of evolution in which 'sperm' evolved in to bigger creatures. Of course climate had an impact, and we started to have features to support the climate. Why can't the same be so in other planets? Why can't other planets have life by now? We are easily visible and not really the 'hiding' type. It is probable that the aliens would be the same.

5) Dinosaurs? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinosaur)
People believe Dinosaurs died due to a meteor. It is pretty obvious that a meteor wouldn't be able to kill all the dinosaurs. It is a clear excuse. I have not read what Islam says about Dinosaurs. But it is obvious that Science is not really reliable when it comes to Pre-History.

Thank you.
Waleed / Sabreman.

Also, how can you explain eternal inflation?our universe is being pushed, so unless theres another one how  is that happening? Many of our theories confirm multiverses.

I, 100Percent Agree with you Waleed.
Good Written.

Read Quran, You'll get the answer by yourself.

About 1) Zam Zam:
Islamic history states that the Zamzam Well was revealed to Hagar, the second wife of Abraham and mother of Ismail around the year 2000 BC. According to Islamic tradition, she was desperately seeking water for her infant son, but she could not find any, as Mecca is located in a hot dry valley with few sources of water. Muslim traditions say that Hagar ran seven times back and forth in the scorching heat between the two hills of Safa and Marwah, looking for water. Getting thirstier by the second, Ishmael scraped the land with his feet, where suddenly water sprang out. There are other versions of the story involving God sending his angel, Gabriel, who kicked the ground with his heel and the water rose.
The name of the well traditionally comes from the phrase Zome Zome, meaning "stop", which, according to legend, was a command repeated by Hagar during her attempt to contain the spring water.
According to Islamic tradition, Abraham rebuilt the Bait-ul-Allah ("House of God", cognate of the Hebrew-derived place name Bethel) near the site of the well, a building which had been originally constructed by Adem, and today is called the Kaaba, a building toward which all Muslims around the world face in prayer, five times each day. The Zamzam Well is located approximately 20 m (66 ft) east of the Kaaba.

I dont exactly "believe" in any of the theories, but i want to believe. Science rides on theories, and is 90 percent wrong. Yet we deal with it

Also sabreman, its no value of "too good to be true".
You stand on the planet earth. Theres approximately a million objects that are about the size of the earth in the solar system alone(yes earth is very small, we classify it as a planet but in reality, earth and mercury may very well join pluto.
Earth is part of a solar system, almost every star forms a solar system. A solar system has a average of 6 planets, and billions of other objects sucked in by its gravity.
You live in the milky way galaxy, where theres such a big amount of solar systems(THAT WE HAVE YET NOTED) that if i try to copy paste the digits here the forum will give me a too big text problem.
The same is true for galaxies, and theres so many of them that if you took every atom in the entire milky way, and every atom stood for a galaxy and you raise the number to a trillion. It still wouldnt account for even one trillionth of the entire size(and that big number raises to one trillion is a number that the world's most powerful computer will take CENTURIES to compute)

The conditions needed for life arent all futile, for example plants need CO2, not so much O. So a plant can exist on a planet whose major gas component is CO2(and H2O is also required, ofcourse).

Till now, we have identified thousands of bodies that may also harbor life just like earth in our own solar system. It is extremely likely that several of them posess it too. Now compare it to the solar systems, galaxies and possbily(multiverses). Now, tell me how high are the chances?

Let me tell you something, J.E littlewood, a mathematician at cambridge university wrote about this in his book. He said the average person is alert for about 8 hours a day, and something happens to the person about once a second.At this rate you expirience 1 million events every thirty five days. So when you say "one in a million", you are also saying once in a month :)

Assuming the Big Bang theory is true, there is no beginning of time. The singularity that would soon cause the big bang was so dense that it distorted time, similar to how black holes do.

Of course, we could all be wrong and people a thousand years later will be loling at us.

Umm..No...Time begins with the big bang. The nanosecond the big bang took place is the beginning of time, in our universe. Space and time were created together, in a big fabric.

The key is 'to mankind' This means that we, based on our perception, have invented something that describes events related to our perception of a recurring mechanism. This because we do not have the capacity to understand something is infinite without a circular pattern.

You read the theory wrong.. once something spawns it doesnt despawn.

Known as the theory of emergence of matter, it says that the universe(s) expand infinitely, as more matter is required it is summoned from outside the observable universe and thrown into ours. Once dark energy lifts its proportions that matter then makes galaxies, but this theory can never be proven since we cant go faster than light and in order to prove this we need to go so many times faster than light that there are more zeroes in that number than there are bits on every single computer on the world combined.In other words it cant be proven, but it is recognised as a possiblity in quantum science.

In the UK the reverse is true, with continuing on in school being the more academically difficult option.

First of all, as a biologist, I have to say, these kinds of speculations are all BS.
The space is TOO big to expect things to be what we expect them to be.
We cannot know if aliens live based on O2 and H2O as humans do.
The conjecture that all lifeforms need O2 and H2O applies only to the Earth..
We do not know how it is like on other planets.

You would have to complete an infinite amount of tasks in order to accomplish hitting the door, therefore hitting the door is incomprehensible and impossible.

My bruised cheekbone says otherwise. :devroll:

Exactly. For all we know, some planets could have biospheres even farther than what we currently know as the RNA-World Hypothesis, or ammonia-based life forms.

Perhaps some are even independent of carbon, a vital component of just about all Earth-based life.
