We won’t ever see alien life

[Quasar44]

Despite 100 billion stars in the Milky Way alone , we will never ever encounter any technological advanced civilizations

That simple !!!

Why ??

The massive scope of the universe and vast distances between stars makes it mathematically impossible. Then you need energy requirements that dwarf earths total output

Maybe the best we can do is nearby Star systems within 5-15 Light Years

We are stuck here

I'm 100% on board with being stuck here on Earth.

I can't furnish the details, but I watched a presentation a few years ago that explained all of the extremely unlikely things that had to have happened in order for life-supporting conditions to exist on Earth. For example, the existence and location of Jupiter protect Earth from major meteor collisions, the distance from the Sun has to be perfect, as does the rotational speed of the Earth, and on and on and on. If you charted the likelihood that those same factors would exist on another heavenly body, you quickly get to the point of statistical impossibility.

In short, there ain't no intelligent aliens in the universe, at least in a form that we would recognize them. The God thing seems to be the only explanation.

Do not doubt, support pursuits beyond the hierarchy of our simple species on earth. G-d ordained, we just do not know it.

At some point, this planet will no longer be able to harbor life, through our sun dying, or a massive asteroid hit, or we nuke ourselves out of existence, so it is important that we find habitable planets within 100 light years and send multi-generational ships off to them, or we're cooked.

As long it ain't Roberts County, Texas - fine with me.

I disagree. You continue to think of these things in conventional terms, vast distances, requiring powerful rockets and fantastic speed. It is a matter of science.

The vast distances are too massive to overcome for a human race. The nearest star system is 4 light years away but it takes 75,000 years with rocket technology
Now with Fusion energy you could get there in a few centuries only

The science and math look impossible !!!

I spent hours talking about best possibilities and some of the best think only 5-10 light speed will be the best we can do and that is 23rd century stuff.

Even at that speed it would take centuries for close stars

No good Quasar44

HA!

The science only looks impossible because we don't have the science yet, and the math looks impossible because we haven't even invented the math yet.

You still do not understand. You think in terms of traversing normal space taking 75,000 years, but to accomplish this there must be a science of leaving normal space entirely and traveling the same distance in only minutes.

It is the newtonian mind who refuses to stop picturing the origin, destination and path of travel of a trip in space as all one permanently linked contiguous entity all part of each other instead of just a starting point, a destination in time-space, and throwing out the whole, inconvenient, long path through newtonian space in-between.

Maybe mankind will evolve beyond our biology and learn to travel at the speed of light. We have incredible imaginations and never is a long time. I think the hardest part will be not destroying ourselves first.

 

[Harry Dresden]

for us to think in this vast universe that we are it,is pretty arrogant,and to say we have gone as far as science will let us go is pretty close minded....

 

[Lockback]

I think the universe is teeming with life.
And, yes, I think we've been visited and continue to be.
I think the concept of space travel and the speed of light and all those supposed limitations are stuck in the past. We're looking at things from the perspective of Newtonian physics.
We couldn't have imagined nuclear weapons 100 years ago. Now the world is loaded with them.
There are far too many UFO sightings, weird history that doesn't add up, etc. for me to believe we haven't been visited and aren't still being visited by intelligent life we can't even begin to comprehend.

It’s alive and well on these forums.

Perhaps we are actually the seeded alien life. A lost colony.

Yes. There is that theory.
