This stuff is typically boring because it’s usually about bacteria that have not been documented on earth.
If you think about it, though, alien life is statistically possible.
If you read Hyperspace by Michio Kaku, one theory is that, the way we regard ants–low level life forms, not worth communicating/interacting with–that’s how intelligent beings in space could view Earth, thus not caring to interact (if our existence is verifiable from their end) with us.
I thought that was interesting.
Space exploration will get really interesting when we finally master quantum physics. Hyperspace also showed that, with the mastery of each physical realm–mechanics, electro-magnetism, nuclear–we have made accelerated progress as a civilization. Quantum was listed as the next frontier.

With 54 other planets in the Goldilocks Zone it is definitely possible.

OK but if they are that intelligent don’t you think they would’ve stopped back to say hi by now?
I do believe in alien life just not this particular theory – though thinking outside the box is not something I like to discourage! You have as much info as I do.

Kinda taking a point from Ponce’s post - maybe we’re aren’t important enough and just an experiment. Maybe we came from another planet we drained of resources. Also, a cool thought article I read is that a devine spark separated us from ape. That is the only kind of God interaction I can possibly believe.

It seems that most movies, books, and ideas pull that any other intelligent life forms would be smarter or have better technology than us. Why is that? Possibly there is a civilization that is at our level or less. And possibly human. Who the hell knows? As of now, all ideas are pretty much equal.

i too have always believed in a similar theory. the only type of god humans will ever discover is a race of much more advanced beings that tel us they helped us develop. I do believe humans are much much older than previously thought though, well i should say, advanced civilized people. they have recently discovered an underground city that they’re guessing is about 18,000 years old. and people built it to escape from the upcoming ice age back then. If you think about it, how can we tell if there was or wasn’t an advanced civilization 25k years ago that was further than us, but then every so often the earth has apocalyptic events? it’s not a matter of if the earth has major catastrophes but when. If any of you have heard anything on the findings they’re seeing on mars that match up geographically to the exact same coordinates as similar structures on earth, pretty interesting stuff out there for those that take the time to look into it, i don’t see how people could not believe.
for the person who said kids now a days are smarter and don’t listen to what their elders are telling them, it’s not because they’re smarter. I’m 23 and have friends all over the range from 18-40’s and the younger people are definitely the idiots. if anything I believe in 'the pussification of America". they may know more about certain things “computers, etc.” but only because we’ve grown up with them and as civilizations advance the next generation always will be able to learn that much more if they choose to.
And whoever brought up Hyperspace by Kaku, great read, I’ll have to reread it here. Kaku, IMO, is probably one of the greatest minds of our time. The guy just blows me away and he’s very personable which is rare for someone that smart, at least it has seemed that way to me thus far in my life.

any civilizations that seek us out would be smarter and more advanced simply because they would have the technological advancements to travel over a vast amount of space to visit Earth. Although, there probably are more underdeveloped planets than advanced ones, they would be harder to find. they wouldn’t light up the planet on the dark side as they would have power yet.
if they’re still nomads instead of civilized, then they would be harder to find as looking down from the sky we would see no masses, most would be hiding in they’re caves etc. as to the comment about possibly human?, no way humanoid, possibly, but not exact copies. we are mostly carbon based life forms on earth although as of late, they have found a couple different microbes that can grow off other base elements, out of the known elements, there are so many possibilities of different life forms.

I mean it was only like 2 months ago that we discovered a planet that dwarfs Jupiter in size, barely outside the reaches of our solar system hidden in the Oort Cloud, something like 2-3 AU away.[/quote]
Just a minor correction. The Oort Cloud is actually hypothesized to be roughly 50,000 AU away from the Sun.
Do you have a link to the article about this planet that’s larger than Jupiter? All I find with a quick Google search is on the unofficially named “Sedna” which is about 900 AU from the Sun. I assume it’s not the planet you’re referring to since it estimated size isn’t even as large as Pluto.
LIFE BEYOND EARTH FTMFW!

If I contributed something to a project that ended up going to total shit (ie: helped create human beings who ended up fucking the planet up by filling it with assholes who treat each other like shit) I would take a peek back, then walk away in disgust and never look back. I wouldn’t even say hi.

All the UFO sightings have been alien film crews from the far reaches of the universe filming boring documentaries to show on basic cable.

LMAO
That’s a bit like us filming uncontacted tribes in South America and watching them try to throw spears at the plane.
I like it.
