Page 2 - Aliens or no Aliens?

We always make the prediction that aliens have ebtter technology than us. Have we ever thought that maybe we have better technology than them and that we might find them before they find us?

Well at least we know there are no aliens (thus far) in our solar system, but remember we are one of trillions of solar systems out there. The chances are that we die out before they even find us, or we find them.

My thoughts are that our solar system is fairly youngg.. under 5 billion years old, while our galaxy is estimated at 11 billion years, so if you consider it takes about 5 billion years to get where we are, there could be some other lifeforms with up to 6 billion years up on us. I like to think that while there could be younger life-froms, there could also be older lifeforms, too.

The times I listed aren't on the money- I kinda forget, it might be our universe is 14 billion yrs, but I do know our soloar system is right around 4 1/2 to 5 billion years.

It would be too self centered to believe we are the culmination of life in something as vast as our galaxy, let alone our universe.

I find myself agreeing with everything hey says...

But I don't think it's our solar system that's 4 1/2 billion years old... Earth is 4.6 billion years old...

Here is another question: How did Earth evolve? Does anyone here believe in the Big Bang theory?

I am more drawn towards that theory than any other but I'm still not totally convinced.

I would have to agree.

Like I said, I think my times are off. It might be 5 billion or so, maybe 6.. but the bottom line is our solar system in less than 1/2 the age of our galaxy and certainly less than 1/2 the age of our universe, so some other sentient life most likely has a leg up on us.

Big Bang? Evidence kinda supports it regarding red-shift, but what about dark matter and dark energy purportedly making up over 90% of the mass and 95% of the energy in our universe?

Still so much to learn; If I remember correctly, the current hypotheses support an 11 dimensional universe approximately 14 billion yrs old or so.

True... they invaded first. The mastodonts, camels and horses were less than thrilled, I hear.

what I don't get is why everyone assumes alien life looks like humans. Why can't they look like a slinky or a pile of goo with opposable thumbs?

How do you "know" there are no aliens in our solor system???? That's what this is all about...are they out there or here or not! A lot of folks believe they've already found us...not sure why your saying "we die out before they even find us" when you have agreed with other posts in here that they have already been here, etc.

OMG. You are so total gayness. What the fuck is wrong with you? You pick on every little thing I say you lesbo.

Fuck off.

There ya go...speaking with no facts again. I don't pick on everything you say, just the most dumb comments. You are TOO funny, davo! Thanks for the laughs!
