no chance..

[KritterGitter]

That is quite epic.... 13 billion light years is almost unimaginable.

I agree. The universe is so vast, to conceptualize the concept can be mind boggling. 

[Marty]

Agree, the statistical probability of similar life as Earth out there is very high, even though we'll never know.

Let's kick it up a notch...Perhaps all the "known universe" is comparable to just a single drop of water in the ocean.

Far out, man. Now don't Bogart the doobage.

[F14A-B]

I wonder if there's largemouth there.....

Crazy to think about. I am sure other forms of life do exist in this universe. It would be intriguing, if we were to find them, what they would be like. Most likely they would simply be small bacteria, but what if they were complex, evolved creatures like humans are. Would they still be what we call "cavemen"? How would they adapt and grow differently based on their environment? If they are further developed than us, what inventions have they came up with without the preconceived ideas we all have? What if they had literally "re-invented the wheel" into a much more efficient one than we use. How would they communicate? Would they have a religion? What if they are watching us asking the same questions I just did?

 

I spend a lot of time thinking about this stuff, however I doubt I will ever find out the answers.

 

Science rant over.

[Frogfather]

It would be an incredible waste of space if there wasn't something there!

Gene Roddenberry must have thought about it allot too, Star Trek the next generation, dealt with this allot. I remember one episode where the crew de-evolved, though all humanoid each specie had a different evolutionary tree. There were episodes dealing with different planetary systems some that were still pre-industrial through very advanced. I just realized I'm a huge nerd!

Let's go from the asinine to the ridiculous .  What if our entire universe was contained in one huge bubble?  And what if that bubble was at the bottom of some entity's beer mug, slowly rising to the top, only to be swallowed, or to pop? And what if ...?

Haven't you seen Men in Black ?

[retiredbosn]

Exactly, the entire galaxy is contained in some kid's marble. Then again this could be "The Matrix"

[Lund Explorer]

My biggest concern is that one of these aliens are going to land here, catch all of our bass, throw them into buckets, and go home for an epic fish fry!  They probably won't even buy a license! 

[bigbill]

I think the freshwater otters are doing a number on our bass.

Where smaller than a pencil point(earth) who really knows what we really are. The creator made us in his image. Someday the truth will come out.

On you tube they filmed a US solder with a cloaking device.

What's next?

Now you're infringing on my theory. Our inverse is indeed a bubble, slowly expanding, of an irrelevant size. It's NOT in a mug of beer. That would be ludicrous. It is slowly rising in an extra-temporal ocean.

The Big Bang that started it all? A cosmic shark fart. That would make a nice big bubble, and plenty of turbulence to get whole thing up and running..

There's no such thing as gravity, the earth sucks. Where did that come from. No idea.

Space is a vacuum because the whole world sucks. This is known.

[bigbill]

The world is a stage and were the actors. I feel like the world is one big fish tank and our creator is looking in on us.

Since our creator made us in his likeness I hope he comes back before ww3 starts. I hate to miss another fishing season.

There is gravity it happens when we get old. It seems my six pack and big chest fell to my waist.

[Sam]

With so many stars and planets there is defiantly life on other planets.

 

What type of life and where they are in their evolution may never be known.

[Raul]

I accept 100% the possibility of alien life forms, it´s just a matter of statistics, the Sun has 8 planets and one of them has an incredible ammount of life forms some of which dare the imagination, they look more alien than the aliens we imagine about. Billions of stars in a single galaxy, even if you wish by all means to lower the odds of those stars having planets that will still make billions upon billions of planets in a single galaxy, now billions upon billions of galaxies  ?

 

However, I do not believe in the possibility that we have been visited by technologically superior intelligent beings capable of bending the laws of nature and travelling enormous distances, what at the odds of them finding us ? ------> inifinitesimal upon infinitesimal.

 

We may not be as interesting as we think we are.

[SPEEDBEAD.]

It's even more painful to imagine that somewhere, out there, another being is asking how to fish a senko or if the Helicopter Lure is worth the money....

A lot better than an intergalactic proctologist dont´cha think ?

 

Actually I do have a Helicopter Lure Kit, one of my most precious possesions, or at least that´s what I say to my wife, you can imagine who gave it to me.

The distances involved are simply unimaginable. Our galaxy, The Milky Way, is more tha 100,000 light year from one side to the other.

However, perhaps at some point in the future the human race will find a way. I still have no idea how color televison works or most of

those other waves that surround us. A thousand years ago no one could possibly comprehend something like this could fly.
