Do you believe in other life in the Universe?

[tv1217]

You're all wrong. We were created paradoxically by Jeff Goldblum on the set of Jurassic Park. He was eating Costa Rican food and got a bad case of bubblegut. He poopfarted so hard in the can that it ripped a hole in spacetime, triggering the big bang while also sending some of the exotic gut flora through the wormhole.


All life in the universe is a direct descendant of Jeff Goldblum's poo bacteria.

I agree with this. I have 2 wonderful children. I would never think of drowning them. Or burning them.

I will address this when I can spare the time to give you a respectable response

I saw the top pic on FB. It really puts things in a proper perspective.

I don't think anyone has a good handle on what "conciousness" is. That being said, every thought we have is an organization of energy which has some form of radiation attached to it. Does that radiation and, therefore, that thought travel on forever throughout spacetime? And if we are 32 million miles from where we were yesterday, is our existence a unique footprint in the present or a thin ribbon throughout spaceandtime?

Interesting concepts that I doubt we'll figure out very soon.


That doesn't directly answer your question, I know. It all depends on the nature of time.

Only if you want it to.

We are a product of, and reliant upon, our current understanding of/observation of our shared spacetime. So, in that context, the only rational response to the questions being posed is based on our currently understood/observed spacetime.

In that context, and to modify the question before you, in your opinion, was the presence/creation of human life inevitable?

Who do you think took this photo?

 

[hog slayer]

ABSOLUTELY CORRECT, 45! Lamonin is found there, too. Although you'd have to get much too close for my preference.

The Weak Anthropic Principle. Life exists and thereby, maybe, perhaps, possibly, was inevitable given the fundamentals that the universe appears to be "tuned to". Does life exist elsewhere? Because it exists here, it exists, will exist or has existed elsewhere.

I once thought I had a grasp on some of the big picture, but the more I learn, the more I recognize how little it is we understand. Generally, we only understand what can be perceived and named. I grok that. Those are bounds in the integral function of existence.

"What do we know … of the world and the universe about us? Our means of receiving impressions are absurdly few, and our notions of surrounding objects infinitely narrow. We see things only as we are constructed to see them, and can gain no idea of their absolute nature. With five feeble senses we pretend to comprehend the boundlessly complex cosmos, yet other beings with wider, stronger, or different range of senses might not only see very differently the things we see, but might see and study whole worlds of matter, energy, and life which lie close at hand yet can never be detected with the senses we have."

-H.P. Lovecraft

Life on this planet represents a VERY small mark when it comes to the immensity of the scale of both the universe, and time.

Life could have existed a million years ago, then disappeared, in multiple places. But with the scale of time, we just don't see them.

Lending to that thinking....
Maybe the UFOs being seen now are from the future of another species coming back in time to visit for a multitude of reasons.

So maybe this explains all the anal probing.

Craziest part is if they existed far enough away any signal they sent might not even reach us for another few million years. The scale of it all is near incomprehensible.

Who do you think took this photo?

That actually made me think. I always assume actual traditional photographs were real and everything else was 'fake' but the more I think about it, we only see a small part of the em spectrum, is turning wavelengths we don't see into colors we do create any less a 'real' picture? Obviously that has nothing to do with this artist rendition of what the universe may look like but I thought it was interesting.

 

[Mark 1911]

I don't know. But I do believe there is only one source of all life.

Good point. I agree completely.

Good point. I agree completely.

I knew one day we'd find common ground.
