[QUOTE=NoDachi;14820369]To be fair, the amount of people in this thread that have absolutely no understanding on science is quite soul destroying. So it's not a massive leap of the imagination to think that you're one of them.[/QUOTE] I'm not one of those people, right? Right? ... Right?[img]http://d2k5.com/sa_emots/emot-ohdear.png[/img]

I think you're pretty safe.

My opinion: When it comes down to an actual aliens, or whatever, people saying they don't exist, I think they might actually do, and here's why: This planet Earth is just far away enough from Sun to be "live-able", yet at the same time close enough to be, once again, "live-able". Anyway, there are other solar systems, yeah? So, what's the chance all in all that there's actually some other planet, in some other solar system, close enough and far away enough from the Sun, to be "live-able"? I mean, did we actually win a fucking lottery to make ourself home here in Earth, to grow trees to give us something to breath, and stuff? It might happen somewhere else as well, or it might had already, long time ago. Oh yea and I'm not A "ufo-geek" or anything, but I think it's quite selfish to think we are actually alone in the.. universe or whatever. Oh and, I'm not too much of a Biologist or.. Earth-ologist, so, you might find some "plot-holes" on my opinion above. If anything, I don't think I'm all clueless about how solar systems work.. :P And by Alien I mean something.. organic I guess, something that lives.. and eat, I don't know. Something that does stuff.
[QUOTE=Sylash;14821148]You're making a great mistake by jeering at the Alfred Wegeners of the future.[/QUOTE] Alfred Wegener was a genius.
But really, is it too hard to think that we aren't as important as we believe ourselves to be in the Galactic Community?
[QUOTE=NoDachi;14787336]I never suggested it. So [B]lay off the knee-jerking or woe, you may look like an idiot.[/QUOTE] [/B] Help I can't swim in irony I'm drowning oh noooo *gargle* *glubglub*
If there are other advanced lifeforms out there, It's probably best we never find them. Humanity sucks, we can't even get along with each other, let alone a whole other species. The bible thumpers will try to show them Jesus, the extremists will say are abominations and try to kill them, the scientists will want to dissect them. It will most likely end with earth being reduced to a smoldering ruin after the aliens see humans for the worthless, retarded and violent parasites they are.
Always have to put the shit on Obama huh.
[QUOTE=The Epidemic;14817329]Because you're assuming that 99% of this thread means that there's a advanced and civilized planet somewhere. I think a planet that's filled with simple organisms would be more plausible. Plants, insects, single-celled shit, etc.[/QUOTE] Um, our planet exists. Amongst the trillions upon trillions of other planets in the universe you don't think there's ANY form of advanced intelligence like our own? I'm not talking about space-faring empires or anything, I'm just talking about beings that create technology like we do.

But what about one of jupiters moon Europe? It's completley covered in ice. And they say that Europe might have some sort of primitive life under the ice. (Not aliens with spaceships)
I bet we're some lost alien colony.
ITT: Idiots that argue they created the universe and thus know everything and that they are right no matter what.
Skepticism ftw.
Ofcourse we are not alone.
He's an astronaught, What the fuck would he know?
I'd laugh if Obama just came out and said one day "We've come in contact with Aliens," and everyone got in an uproar about it. Don't believe it'll happen though.
[QUOTE=NoDachi;14787296]You must be joking. The sun alone doesn't generate enough energy for a interstellar power source, and we can't start violating laws of thermodynamics now can we? Plus, another major stumbling block is the fact that the human body simply can not survive interstellar travel. The velocities, the radiation, the lack of gravity, the distances... We'll be sending metal coffins flying everywhere.[/QUOTE] Well, they might NOT have human bodies. They might have bodies that adapted for this kinda stuff. And, they might not. There's always an undetermined variable. Heh, same 3 words, right above each other.
Remember that episode of Stargate, where Teal'c got stuck in the SGC gate when the one he entered was destroyed just as he passed through the wormhole? If we had a real Stargate we could, theoretically, trap a body in there and then send the gate on a ship. The trapped person would be fully contained as energy; they wouldn't degrade or age. For them no time would have passed between dematerialisation and rematerialisation. You could send somebody from here to Mars in perfect stasis. Hell, you could send a person from here to the next galaxy safely, and, because they're unaffected by any external forces, you could do it quickly. Of course this is limited by the fact that Stargates aren't real.
But wormholes might be. Thus, we could harness their power.
[QUOTE=Confused111;14840845]But wormholes might be. Thus, we could harness their power.[/QUOTE] We'd still have to figure out how to turn people into energy and then reverse this process on the other side without any device set up to do so.

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;14842173]It'd be easier just to achieve Ascendence.[/QUOTE] Oh don't be ridiculous.
[QUOTE=Maloof?;14842260]Oh don't be ridiculous.[/QUOTE] But it would be also much more awesome, you could be all "Your race is doomed" to some random race and they would be all, "Oh yeah?" Than you cause their planet to explode with your mind.

[QUOTE=Lankist;14787504]People, you need to quit taking what you read in Science Fiction novels as fact.[/QUOTE] Most good ones are written by Physicists.
[QUOTE=Kronos Zul;14882116]Most good ones are written by Physicists.[/QUOTE] No, they're written by people who "know a bit about science", not actual physicists
[QUOTE=johngrimm;14820363]There's also been a discovery of a very large mechanical object of unknown material inside Pluto's moon Charon. Scientists believe it may be the point in a network of objects that allow for FTL travel between systems.[/QUOTE] mass effect anyone? edit: i dont think any government would just annouce that theres aliens among us look at our badass spacecruisers and shit so suddenly, i know im quoting a film but... "but people are smart they can handle it" "a PERSON is smart, people are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it" a more logical aproach would be to slowly ease it on, like trying to put a rock on someone without breaking something, they just cripple from it meh edit 2: guess the film for a cookie
We are possible on this piece of rock we call Earth. I don't see why this can't happen anywhere else. Lets not forget the universe is billions of years old. There could have been thousands, maybe millions of civiliations before us that achieved space travel or got wiped out some how. For all we know, Humans could continue to advance and grow or Earth could get hit with a asteroid next week and there be no evidence that humans ever existed. The danger is real, space is very harsh. Space travel as we know it is only seen in movies and fictional stories. As many of you say, it's not possible and never will be, but we have already taken the first step. We are able to send pilots into space and on the moon. While I would not call this space travel my self, it still a great achievement we humans have made. We've only scratch the surface of science.
