UFO's...

[davewebbsbrain]

Generally not having a clue about science, all I do know is that those are just two of the elements required for human life to exist. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in a scientists world, a plant can be concluded as life. Plants require carbon dioxide to exist do they not? Over time things change, things mutate. Diseases mutate, the kind of thing what scientists are currently worried about now with bird flu. We have thousands of breeds of dogs now too as they have evolved. Who's to say over time they couldn't find a whole new way to communicate with humans. Maybe over time, humans will develop a sixth sense, who knows....

Personally, I still think we are hundreds of years away from finding out (and I'll be dead before it happens), but I just cannot fathom out how you can have a planet/universe/galaxy so so huge, and with us the only inhabitants. Doesn't make sense to me. There must be something out there IMO.

Feck me Einstein, I was under the impession the big headed bar steward knew everything and wasn't afraid to let everybody know..

You know nothing about science eh..That's something I thought I'd never hear from you;)

I very much doubt that there is another planet that has life on it. Life as we know it is pretty much based on oxygen and water. What is the probabililty of those two compounds occuring in the correct quantities to create and sustain life? Given the amount of elements etc that we know of the chances are probably billions and billions to one. I would wager that those billions and billions roughly equate to the number of planets in the universe.

Life on this planet is based mainly on water and oxygen, fairly do's.

Who says on another planet there are different elements that don't exist on this planet and these elements are the ones that life forms on that planet need to live?

I'm unsure, but have seen two or three things in the sky that have made me think (one during daylight hours).

However, one thing I do know is that if there were alien lifeforms (or alternatively time travellers from this planet) the one thing they would NOT do to communicate with us is mow a few lawns in Wiltshire.

I'd be more than happy for aliens to mow my back garden as a friendly gesture.

Our very existence appears to be the result of a massive amount of chance. The amount we have developed alos appears to be due to a massive amount of chance. In all honesty, we're light years (sorry) away from significant inter-planetary travel and we've not done too bad with our evolution. For someone to have visited Earth, they would have had to have evolved vastly quicker than we have managed.

Ok, there are billions of planets in the universe but, say, in a trillion planets there's one with intelligent enough life form to communicate, the odds of it being close enough to us to ever have contact seem very small.

I found that the only good thing to come out of the film Evolution was the idea that our universe might have been created artificially by a species way ahead of our time.

If they discover some old cave paintings or ancient greek/egyptian tombs with pictures of flying saucers I might be convinced. Sadly it's a load of old hoblocks not unlike w*nkers like Derek Acorah who is hoodwinking hundreds of thousands from people. Actually that gives me an idea ............. is there anyone here called John, or it might be James? .......... I feel a presence. ...... and my book is available at £14.99.

I think there may well be other life forms in existance, but there have been no UFO's visiting Earth in my opinion, or aliens, or any **** like that.

Didn't Derek Acorah play league football for somebody before he tapped into his "powers"?

UFO over Basildon?

They're coming for all you non-believers :eek:

Like the comment from a certain E Hornbridge;-
Please Aliens !
Take anyone wearing burberry, kappa or baseball hats, take them to your planet and turn them into soylent green. They are all parasites and need culling.

Bearing in mind that UFO stands for Unidentifed Flying Object, then surely it's a 100% fact that they do exist, and the opinion lies within their origins.

I'd say personally that given the size of the universe, there must be existence elsewhere. Furthermore if the Universe is infinite, then it must be mathematically a certainty that everything possible is in existence at some point, and at every stage of time. ie in an infinite universe I'm sitting here typing this, there would be another me typing something very similar (maybe one different letter) there'd be another me that started typing seconds earlier, and has now finished etc.

That may sound impossible, or nonsense, but if you really try to comprehend the immensity of infinity, that's what you get!

If anyone has an interest in this sort of stuff, I can recommend Bill Bryson's excellent book "A Short History of Nearly Everything" which attempts to unravel the history behind the origins of Earth and the universe, relativity and quantum theory, the present and future threats to life and our planet, the origins and history of life, and the evolution of man - as the author says, a short history of nearly everything.

From what I can remember, Bryson's considered opinion was simply that, despite the ridiculously precise requirements necessary for the creation and evolution of intelligent life, the sheer (and unimaginable) size and scale of the universe almost guarantees that the phenomenon will have happened elsewhere. Somewhere. Somehow.

However (again, from what I can remember) Bryson believes that it is this same size and scale of our surroundings that MUST prevent us from ever coming into contact with another intelligent life-force.

Not only would the distances be far, far, far, FAR too great but discovery would also be impossible. The distances are such that, even if an alien life force in some other distant galaxy (where conditions were like our remarkable Earth) were to cast it's eye towards Earth, they would not witness us as we are now, but as we were hundreds of thousands, nay, hundreds of millions?? of years ago.

The chances of alien life existing?
Probably quite high.

The chances of alien life existing "within touching distance"?
I'd be more inclined to bet on West Ham staying in the Premiership.

WE as Humans have this overall.....Superior. vision....That we are right....I Personaly dont believe in Religion .But hey if u ask me do I have faith.....Without doubt.. I believe in a place elsewhere we came from. ...I Guess its the instinct of how hearts feel at times.. Love is not a contrived opinion as most is in everyday lives..Its just the way it is .through whatever barriers we have to face.... As far as Visitors from out of space ...How dare we have the audacity to think we are the only ones in this Cosmos...WE ARE NOT ALONE
