Dr. Brian Cox seems to think so...maybe 30 billion earth like inhabitable planets in our galaxy alone...remember there are countless billions of galaxies.

I I'd wager that we aren't alone but the Universe is so mind-bendingly large the chances of us encountering that life are almost impossible.
I love Brian Cox documentaries but his voice starts to grate on me after about half an hour. The stuff he does with Dara O'Brien is pretty good too. |  | | |

Yes but you're thinking of space travel in present conventional terms.
There is a great deal that science is only just beginning to understand,including many plausible theories that vast distances can be covered in a short time. | |

It's basically mathematically certain that there is some sort of life out there in the universe. |  | | |

Obviously life is out there.. there is a 1 in centillion chance we're the only planet with oxygen.. so it's a long shot that we're the only ones.. anyone who believes there isn't is deluded.. the bookies always win mun. |  |

Just because we have only just managed to get to space in the last century, doesnt mean other life in other places have only just done it. Humans tend to think in terms of what they know, for example in this thread "the chances of us encountering it is slim".
A twin planet in another solar system may have beings that are billions of years further down the developmental road than we are, their planet may be billions of years older than ours and if evolution is true on other planets as it is on ours then the stuff they could do would probably boggle our minds.
We have only gone to space in the last century. Other life forms may have done it millions of years ago. | |

But if they went into space years ago, why haven't they visited us?
Or perhaps they have.....  |  |

It is mathematically certain that at some point everything will happen but it won't because it is equally certain that nothing will happen |  | | |

We as humans have been here for circa 195,000 years. Our universe is 13.8 BILLION years old. Meaning that 99.99999999% of the universe's lifespan happened before humans came along. We have no idea what has gone on prior and barely know whats going on now. We may well have been visited by other life forms. | |

I saw that documentary and he seemed to say that it's almost certain there is life out there, but he also said that complex, intelligent life is very very uncommon or even unlikely. This is based on the fact that all complex organisms came from the chance freak coming together of two types of bacteria that sort of ingested each other but somehow survived, and went on to multiply into multi cell organisms. This has only happened once in 5 billion years that the Earth has been here. He also went on to say about the 'evolutionary bottlenecks' that benefitted us that were unlikely to happen elsewhere. |  |

The scale of stuff out there is just beyond comprehension. We are one galaxy of millions, each galaxy having its own set of planets.
You could fit 1.3 million earths into our sun for example - thats ridiculous to think.... Yet there is a sun that is 100 million times bigger than our sun. Just nuts. And that is only of what we know which is pretty limited.
There are more stars in space than there are of grains of sand on every single beach on earth. | |

As Parlay said, Humans tend to think in terms of what they know, as they would, and also tend to assume that they are intelligent enough to comprehend the complexities of the universe, as they have to to avoid utter desolation, when that may not be the case.
We are like fleas on a dogs a-hole arguing about what colour the dogs eyes are. |  |

The accountancy thread is positively bursting with sexual tension.
This one is like eavesdropping on stoned sixth formers. |  | | |
