this is one of the reasons why i wanted to be an astronaut when i was young. i've always wanted to explore stuff that's beyond our planet's reach. outer space is so vast and most likely there are other galaxies with systems that closely resemble ours. it's possible, of course. the only thing is we really don't know since we can't travel lightyears to explore the entire universe. it gives me so much thrill and excitement to know that we're just a small particle relative to the vast universe.
with regards to the pluto being removed from the solar system, the news shook me up. but i've read that people who feel affected by the decision, like me, should look into the brighter side of things. that is, with the discovery of other "dwarf" planets like xena, which is also on the outer recesses of the system, gives us the proof that the universe is really vast and that there are other stuff out there that we don't know of. who knows millions of years later, people in the future probably have the technology that gives them the capacity to cross boundaries, limits that we cannot reach at this moment. i'm starting to think that i want to be reincarnated to know what will happen in the next lifetime. |

of course there is life on other planets in the universe. If you look at the sheer numbers of the universe, the probability becomes almost 100%.
there are literally thousands of billions of stars in the universe. Even if only 1% of those stars have planets, that would leave tens of billions of stars with planets. next, if 1% of those stars with planets were habitible planets, that would mean that there are billions of habitable planets. Next, if only 1% of habitible planets had life, there would still be tens of millions of planets that can support life. Finally, 1% of those planets that can support life actually has life, there would be hundreds of thousands of planets with life. If we are talking intelligent life, go one more step... 1% of those planets with life will mean hundreds of planets with intelligent life. The only problem is that the universe is so big that just because there is intelligent life out there, it doesn't mean that we will ever meet them. it is low probability that intelligent life is actually CLOSE to our solar system. |

The universe is a very very big place, and I believe there has to be some other kind of life force out there. But the truth is we will never find out. Or would be?

We are the youngest plante on earth with life on it. Who are we to say Pluto isn't a part of the planets, or whatever, who are we to say this. If there were life on the other planets (but they are died out) I bet they were much smarter than we are. so I think we should just spend or time doing and deciding about more important stuff. Like how we make sure we have enough oil in the future.

No one knows for sure , but i think maybe there is some sort of creature that lives on another planet. In the movies they make them seem all scary, but they'd probably be just like us, but maybe look and talk differently. A lot of people have said they've seen UFO's , but then again, people lie. I wonder if we'll ever know if theres life anywhere else in the universe .. we'll just have to wait and see!

i beleive that there is life somewhere else in the universe, there has to be. if Earth has life, something else might have life.
I kinda believe in a diffrent demension too, i could imagine me doing something else as we speak some where else. Things like that make me really wonder.. and the scary part is how far in technology are they in? i can imagine they have lasers or some powerful weapon that can do alot of mass destruction and we just still have nukes. but i guess we will never know.. thats the gay thing.. probly later on in our life time/ or kids life time they will find something out. |

I am absolutely sure that there is life outside of our planet. The universe (or perhaps universes?) is so impossibly huge and there are so many solar systems out there that one of them at the very least had to of developed life. It could be incredibly rare, with only a handful of galaxies having one planet of life each, or there could be hundreds of planets in our galaxy bursting at the seams with life; no-one knows for sure, but I am confident that somewhere out there another planet has life on it.
But what is life? Think about it: we're just matter in motion. And somehow this matter has arranged itself in such a way that it has created a living, thinking being. It's quite a strange concept that a lot of people take for granted. |
