[Debate] Aliens: Real or Not?

[Karna]

Not sure tbvh, at least of the idea of bighead, advanced kind of aliens since they are more or less a reflection of our own imagination, but given they are as we thing they are then there is something common between beings and then we move into spiritual side so i'll stop.

 

[SAmIDeXtEr]

Of course they are real,there have been too much interactions to consider et a myth,the aliens only come to earth to do what they want and consider humans as irrelevant with their petty squabbles,revealing aliens existence would throw the world into a state of panic,just think about it discovering everything you've always believed was false,that's why the government is trying to slowly integrate the idea of alien life slowly into the human mind,when the human race is truly advanced and ready,then it's possible for interactions with et. So basically,human interactions with advanced extraterrestials depends on the pacing of human evolution.[/QUOi

I agree

 

[Excālibur1]

I believe aliens exist, but not in the way we seem to envision them to be. Just as some organisms which we are yet to find. We say water is essential for life to exist anywhere, what if there was a planet where aliens live without water? And look at the size of the universe, we cannot comprehend it however advanced we may get. What are the odds we are the only living organism in the entire universe? A bit low in my opinion so there must exist some organism or the other somewhere in the Galaxy different from ours. We just haven't found it due to lack of technology and it may be the same for those living there too. Or maybe they are just starting out their life now instead of being all highly advanced that we assume them to be? But whatever theory or myth is gonna surround the aliens, I strongly believe they exist.

Ya they are real and have Been around us for thousands of years

 

[PT1990]

Do they exist? For sure. There are more stars in the universe than are specks of sand on Earth. Do they visit us? Honestly, I dont know, but its possible.

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

If aliens do exist and invade then Trump will build a great, great force field around the Earth and he will make the aliens pay for that force field.

 

[CrimsonReaper]

definitely 100% real. it would be naive to claim otherwise.

Well, I don't think that there are small green/grey aliens with super-technology in the universe.. but I'm absolutely convinced that there are other life-forms in the big big universe. It is just impossible that just one single planet out of billions over billions has life on it.

In my opinion, the average "alien-life" consists of creatures that are on the same level as fish, birds and maybe mammals. But there will be a lot of simple lifeforms like bacteria and such.

Improbable, not impossible

OT: The reported sightings? Fake.

Some sort of a life form? Why not?

 

[Gerkak]

Aliens can exist. They don't have to have the same nature we normally assume they have

 

[Narushima]

Oh it seems that Wabbit has already posted a video discussing the physics bit.

Lmao , i would enjoy the overwhelming debate between humans if they finally succeed in finding Extraterrestrial life form.

It cant get better than this....

I'd like to see how religious creationists would handle this xD

Let's try and break down our observable universe shall we?
Astronomers estimate there to be close to a 100 billion galaxies in our observable universe and the one we're in is called the Milky Way galaxy.
Now in the Milky way galaxy, astronomers estimate that including our Sun, there are close to 400 billion stars in this galaxy alone. And with at least 1 planet per star (as there are other solar systems different from ours) there is also another estimate of about 50 billion planets.
Now we also have to take note that each star has a zone called the 'Goldilocks' zone in which life can be allowed to flourish and evolve. (This is the zone Earth finds itself in btw). Now if just 1% of those 50 billion planets find themselves in the Goldilocks zone, then we're looking at about 500 million planets capable of supporting life in our Milky Way Galaxy alone. Astonishing isn't it? Even more so as the closest galaxy to us (Andromeda) is estimated to have about 1 trillion stars and about a rough estimate of 100 billon planets. That's about 150 billion planets in just 2 galaxies out of a 100 billion. And we're not even taking into account the theory of a 'Multiverse'.
The universe is indeed vast and is it possible that it's only Earth that can support life? Even in our own solar system here, on Jupiter's moon 'Titan' there is frozen water and it's possible that though not intelligent, we might find alien life forms there. Well in the end, it's all up to what we believe.

Exactly!
And we are estimating that life can emerge and survive only in the "circumstellar habitable zone" or also called "'Goldilocks' zone". But there is the possibility that life can even be so different from ours, that it could emerge in others zones too. Similar to certain kinds of crabs, mussels and starfish that can survive near submarine volcanos called "black smokers".

You are overrating the possiblity of existing life , water isnt the only component thats required to develop complex organism. Its called Light, the sun....

In other words jupiter is wayyy to far away and it goes the same for its 67+ moons. You already know where the "habital zone" is located and this "big brother" is simply too many (AU) far away. Even if Jupiters magnetosphere is enormous and protects the moons from solar wind it doesnt matter. But of course i can you assure that this milky way is filled with infinite life. And thats just one small, insignificant galaxy compared to the vast reality we are surrounded by.

And by any means you shouldnt forget the spectral class is an important aspect when life is about to emerge. Only red suns or yellow suns truly supports the guaranteed chances of an actual living ecosystem. The only creature on this solar system that could survive those extreme environments is called the tardigrade.


EDIT: wrong planet

 

[MAN OF SIN]

Real. Mars has water.

You do know that there are countless "complex organism" on certain places on earth where is no light at all, never. Don't you?

Light ain't the only necessarry thing tough. :/

Edit: Nvm I misread something. Carry on.
