BringBackFergy Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 If UFO's are real nowadays, why wouldn't we find more of them from time to time?? Kinda like BigFoot...why haven't we found more rotted BigFoot corpses other than the two or three found 20 years ago in Chile? I don't buy it. Quote

Beerball Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 This thread needs more cowbell. What a downer reading (skipping) all of the long potentially well thought out posts. Meanwhile, I give you CHUPACABRA I ask you...which do you prefer? Quote
4merper4mer Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 So how can we conclude life is rare, and how is it rare "by definition?" If you accept that intelligent life would follow naturally once life started then the math becomes simple. Everyone can wish it away all they want but the fact is that life beyond Earth is either exceedingly rare or nonexistent. It is simple math. Quote

If you apply Common Core to that equation you'd find that life is more than likely abundant. Quote
Jim in Anchorage Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Blink 182's Tom Delonge gives an interview to Paper Magazine about all things UFO: http://www.papermag.com/2015/02/tom_delonge_ufo_interview.php I quit reading when he said he was on the cover of rolling stone. Quote

I have no idea what you are talking about. The observable universe is now accepted to have 350 billion galaxies, each with 200 billion stars. We now know that most star systems have planets similar to earth. And you suggest that life beyond Earth is exceedingly rare or non-existent? Quote

If life developed so,easily it would have found us thousands of times by now. Everyone wants life to be out there but it isn't. Quote

Jim in Anchorage Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Artificial Intelligence is coming, and it's going to be game changing. And it's not coming in a few decades, it's quite possibly coming before this decade's out. Maybe. Maybe not. I am not sure how credible these people are but they seem to be in a position to gauge progress in AI. http://www.popsci.com/bill-gates-fears-ai-ai-researchers-know-better Quote

The observable universe is now accepted to have 350 billion galaxies, each with 200 billion stars. We now know that most star systems have planets similar to earth. And you suggest that life beyond Earth is exceedingly rare or non-existent? I can explain this better I think. Supposedly the universe has a staggering amount of intelligent life. Too high a number to comprehend.... The universe has been around for billions of years......too high a number to comprehend...... So innumerable societies have developed for what is a near infinity and plausibly developed countless methods of exploration and communication......by sheer number alone some would seek out any life it could find....some would hide and some would do something in between. Out of all the explorer types out there....still a number too high to comprehend.....we have confirmed contact exactly zero times....and they have had billions of years to send their messages, probes, ships or morse code. So how much more time is needed? Infinity plus one? How many more planets have to be discovered to extrapolate the supposed quantity of societies? How much more need be known about the universe? None. Because the math has already been done. There is nothing and nobody out there trying to communicate which essentially means there is nothing and nobody out there....period. Understand now? It's just math. Edited February 21, 2015 by 4merper4mer Quote
