Do you believe in ALIENS?

I think if intelligent life was out there, it would surely be interested in contacting us. However, whatever life in the universe exists, capable of space travel, is likely so inconceivably far away from us that they'd never make it to us in billions of years.
No, not really. And the universes size has about nothing to do with anything.
Makes for good science fiction though.

There's probably just as good a chance that intelligent life is out there but it doesn't have the means to contact us. Not because of distance, but because of technological advancement.
I believe in aliens, i just dont believe they have visited us. Possible. I often wonder what would humans do if we discovered another race of beings. While we like to say "oh our history is not good on that", modern civilizations is quite different. There are several "lost" tribes that have been discovered, and it is currently illegal to have contact with them. Instead, we sit back and observe. So humans will always have the destructive side, but I do believe that if we were ever to make first contact. It would be hundreds years before any destruction takes place, just long enough for us to get all "heyyyy man, make space love, not space war", only to have the "others" rise up from their barbaric state and say "yeaaaah, about that, we arent as evolved as you, so thanks for the awesome tech and give me your resources"
That last line in my post was meant to sarcastically show we have a collective lack of intelligence as a species. :-)
That is why anyone who has ever been abducted never recount about talking to aliens. They just go on and on about how they were bent over and probed.
Alien life existing somewhere? Yes.
Alien life visiting or having visited earth? No.
People who believe that crap jump at every video of a light in the sky to excitedly proclaim it must be aliens? LOL.

I believe so, but perhaps the laws of life mean that no species will ever develop advanced enough technology to make it to another inhabitable planet, before poor resource management and intra-species competition ends up destroying that species.
What if there is some other life out there...asking the same question...and we're the aliens?
To take that further... there are literally billions of galaxies.. but in our own
Though only about dozen potentially habitable exoplanets have been detected so far, scientists say the universe should be teeming with alien worlds that could supportlife. The Milky Way alone may host 60 billion such planets around faint red dwarf stars, a new estimate suggests.
Based on data from NASA's planet-hunting Kepler spacecraft, scientists have predicted that there should be one Earth-size planet in the habitable zone of each red dwarf, the most common type of star. But a group of researchers has now doubled that estimate after considering how cloud cover might help an alien planet support life.
"Clouds cause warming, and they cause cooling on Earth," study researcher Dorian Abbot, an assistant professor in geophysical sciences at theUniversity
NASA is estimating possibly 60 Billion systems could host a life sustainable planet.
To bad they're all light years away though. Even with some form of slip space tech, it's still gonna take months/years to get to some of those places.
yeah, but we also have to consider, we are basing our beliefs and theories on what WE know. When we look into the sky, we are looking into the past. So, some things we are looking at are billions of years old.
In that time, other life COULD in theory, and it is just theory, COULD find ways to defeat our KNOWN laws of physics and space. People should be willing to consider that things can and will change with scientific discoveries, but even then there is so much we don't know or don't understand.
People who blanketly say "no way they could even travel here" need to understand that as a race, we haven't even been upright that long. Other forms of life out there could have billions of years of evolution on top of us.
I was taking a pill and I saw this and almost choked to death.
It is by far my fav head xploding gif
Whoah. So even if you say only 1 in a million produce intelligent life, that still gives you 60,000 planets with LGM.
