alien life

[brocktonblockbust]

Awesome post bud. I believe that we are Martians. That either Martian civilization was collapsing due to geologic catastrophe and Martian scientists launched a kind if Noah's Ark of DNA to seed the Earth in a last ditch to preserve life, OR a meteor with Martian (or any other planet) MICROBIAL LIFE smashed randomly into Earth. @Master

That is the plot to a Hollywood film.

It is probably the plot the several books as well. What is your opinion about how life formed on Earth?

Your latter idea but not necessarily from Mars. A meteor carrying bacteria landing on earth and forming life as we know it.

That is interesting. It may have come from the Kuiper Belt as well.

What is so important about that?

Kuiper Belt may harbor outside of the solar system small planetoids or even smaller asteroids that crashed GENETIC MATERIAL into the infant Earth.

I'm not sure, but I think simple life is abundant in our galaxy and the rest of the universe, and there may even be simple life on Ganymede, Europa and Mars.

The primitive forms of complex life are probably uncommon (one in every 100,000 planets), but because of the size of the universe, are on many planets in the universe.

More evolved forms of complex life are rare (on about one in every 1,000,000 planets), but still, because of the enormous size of the universe, evolved complex life exists on many planets.

Intelligent life is probably very rare in the universe, on about 1-5 planets per large galaxy (like the Milky Way and Andromeda galaxies).

But what exactly is intelligent life? Are crows, dolphins, and orangutans intelligent? Are ants intelligent? Are incirrina, which have amazing eyesight and complex brains?


Humans are an extremely destructive species, so I imagine if there were advanced, truly intelligent beings who are aware of us, they'd wipe up out before we go out to any other inhabited worlds.

We have the ability not to be destructive man has done some great things, 1900 first plane, not even a hundred years and we are on the moon. It is quite amazing if we were not all so caught up in our differences God knows what we could get done

It's true we have had some amazing accomplishments, but it's not only our differences that might worry an intelligent alien species, but the way we behave toward other life forms here on earth.

Humans have been causing the worst extinction event since the comet hit some 65 million years ago.

99.9% of everything that lived has gone extinct. Still I agree just this week someone shot and killed a white rhino to hack of its horn. So here we have an example of people trying to save them while some other human kills it for the Chinese market. Sorry didn't mention the rhino was in a French zoo that God for diversification

Howdy Andre!
Good to see you are still lurking about on the site & have kept up with your Moderator renewals.
I hope you've all been well.
I think a lot about this topic & am of the belief that there could be many 'alien forms' of life right here on our Earth right now.
There are certainly many many undiscovered oceanic organisms in the dimension that we DO understand.
Who's to say they all part of Earth's evolution & not beamed here from a distant undiscovered planet?
(or however they get around)
((no offense, intelligent space monsters))
Every year I see pictures of hideously terrifying life forms recently found on THIS planet!
Not naming names, but I've always suspected some of us on this very forum could be non-native, or "immigrants", so to speak....

Even though we invent better telescopes and better microscopes we can still only see into this dimension further in or further out and will have to get very lucky to be focused in the right spot to be able to see something coming in from a higher dimension at maybe way above our material speed of light. I think if you all of sudden saw things getting around you had never seen before you could realize they had come up or down from a dimension either side of us and maybe not just from a material plane light years away.

99.9% of everything that lived has gone extinct.

Often by evolving into something else.

Humans gradually evolved from the first primates which existed tens of millions of years ago, which in turn had evolved from the first small mammals in the late Triassic, which in turn had evolved from synapsids which were around in the Permian and late Carboniferous.

But if something had killed off those ancestors, we wouldn't exist.

But when you kill the last individuals of a species, genera or clade of living creatures, you destroy the future.

I wonder if aliens have pets

[brocktonblockbust]

Everything doesn't exist. Nothing exists. For if it exists, it means it was once nonexistent. But if it was at any time nonexistent, it wouldn't contain anything at all for it to COME INTO EXISTENCE.

I agree with Freedom on this issue. As individuals some of us are the most peaceful non destructive people you could ever hope to see, but as a collective the way we have mutated our species with capitalism, exploitation, and war, we are a despicable creature in that regard. I have nothing but contempt for that side of our species and think the world would be far better off without us. People don't like to face up to the realities, but look at the way we have treated the Congo, Iraq, Vietnam, Afghanistan, the regimes toppled constantly just because people stand up for the rights of people who just want to be free. The human species is like a cancer in that regard. It is spreading all over it's host and suffocating out species left, right and centre. Now with environmental collapse and a refusal to alter the course of neo liberalism or stop war, we are eating ourselves, the ones least able to defend against it of course and it will eat higher up the food chain as mechanisation takes hold. If people would just sit back and say 'Let's alter course, let's have less children' it could at least stabilise the disease, but instead we refuse to pay any heed and on it marches.

Aliens would be best served avoiding any contact with this wreckage of a species. Unless they are like us and if their technology is more advanced then we will be consumed.

Why hasn't man returned to the moon? Money, been there done that, discovered something in 69' best left alone? Seems private funders and corporations have a greater interest in doing so more than NASA.

When we had the shuttle they, NASA, said it would take them 10 years to build the tech to go to the moon.
Next year space X is providing a paid service that will bring people around the moon twice and hopefully return them. So Elon musk is probably five years away from a moon landing

Mars is where they want to go next with a host of rockets from many countries but the best way see man move to another area would be the moons of Jupiter and Saturn.
