OT - Far Earth-like planets?

[shdw01]

So I go to MSN.com and see that scientists are certain these things exist (we are talkint 3,000 light-years away). If there are planets that are identical to earth, would it be a good assumption that life also exists there?

Plants? Animals? Humans?

How cool (and scary) would it be if we found out there are beings very similar to ours (I'm guessing appearance would differ some)....imagine if they were identical to us but maybe a few hundred (or thousand) years behind us in technology.

Then again....would discovery of this lead earth to chaos?

Any planet we find ice or water on, I think it is safe to say life exists there or did at one point.

well i was reading this theory about infinity. if time and space is infinite, then there are infinite possibilities.

what that means basically is i/someone has already posted this post before and will certaintly do it again. everything in life has being already done and will be repeated again and again.

mind boggling.

 

[shdw01]

ummm.....kinda like that saying history repeats itself.


but if you are saying that in an infinitely distant planet, there is another rxforum and another kcameron95....that would be freaky stuff.

I'd love to meet the other shdw01, must be a real cool dude.

I wonder if the people 3000 lightyears away had there version of neteller taken away by idiots in the gov also?? ...uke1:

It has to be/have been water... ICE alone isnt enough..

Anyone ever ask themselves, why is there anything?

When you think about it, our sun is just a normal star, nothing special at all.
There are an estimated one billion stars in the Milky Way alone.

To think that we are the only planet w/ life revolving around those billion stars, is just plain laughable.

If we come across some remote planet completely inhabited by a bunch of Cray Fish looking things. I guess we can die knowing we werent the only planet with living organisms.

uh???


Wait..i have seen many scientific calculations stating that earth occurrd in as a 1 in a bajillion zillion billion random chance type things.

So it wouldnt be laughable to assume that earth is the only planet with life on it.

you should ask some religious people that quesetion and see what they say.

This is a pic of a galaxy cluster. Those are entire galaxys. Like the one we live in. Many of them.

I don't really care. I'm just saying. What are the odds.

 

[shdw01]

if space is infinite....regardless of odds, you have to think there will be a form of life somewhere out there...

Interesting....What would a "non-religious" person say in response to this question?:grandmais

my comment/suggeston was not a question :think2:


if you are refering to your question.... :think2::think2:

For example?

Why isn't there nothing?

Am i the only one who feels freaked out/awe struck when i think
about this on occasion?

Especially when i choose to dwell on the thought, after it starts
to freak me out?

On the one hand i like the experience, but in a way i don't,
if that makes sense.

It would be an awfully big waste of space if we were the only ones

 

[Uno]

no reason to rule it out that's for sure. religious or otherwise.

I would say for sure there are 100's of other earth like planets in those galaxy's odds are -1550 there is other life

Maybe he can win step 6..:toast:
