Galaxy has "Billions of Earths"?

awesome! maybe we can ship off some of the life-long career criminals there!

 

Just STOP before this turns into another "Lets get rid of Lucky thread"

On a serious note, I find this rather intriguing

 

Will they be able to prove this in my lifetime is the question.

 

I have watched enough sci-fi to know that eventually this will only lead into a huge galactic war

 

there are billions of civilizations in the universe and we will never meet each other because we live to far apart

 

Absolutely! It seems arrogant to assume all other life forms would be simpler.

 

oh sure.. Wrath of Khan.. how'd that work out

 

sorry marty, what's that?

 

some old science fiction tv show reference.

his generation were into weird hippy stuff like that.

 

thanks for answering, MARTYYYY

 

Khaaaaaan!

 

He was the subject of a Star Trek episode which was the basis for the second Star Trek movie.

 

oh my god you guys are so clueless!!! all of you!!! i was only teasing marty cuz that was before my time. you guys... ....ruin everything.

 

Thats what were here for

 

d'oh!

 

everyone always assumes the other species has to be soo far advanced and all...

but how bout a species thats just a lil bit more advanced than us. how bout one of thier satellites landing here. i mean, it doesnt have to be the whole spaceship with thier people and all scenario...just a probe or something would be the most realistic scenario no?

and then eventually we can all communicate on ichat

 

I believe their are probably species far more adanced, far less adanced, and everywhere in between.

 

What would Far more advance be like?

 

like in contact, when the dude took the form of jodie fosters dad...to talk to her. thats far advanced.

im talking just a little more advanced, and sending out a better rover that reaches us.

 

no i highly doubt that.

 

Yeah, pretty much.

 

Did anyone else notice the George Washington quote just below in Phinz's siggy? Perfect placement and timing.

 

Seriously though, CAN we send Lucky there?

 

It's not about space travel, its about demensional travel through black holes.

 

We could encounter the Borg and get assimilated.

 

nah...i'll just resist...











how's that for a lay-up?

 

Sadly, this is probably the truth.


Assuming 1 our out of every 10 billion stars have planets that can support life, we are literally talking about millions of life supporting planets... But as you stated, it would take millions of light years to reach these planets and I'm not sure if the technology will ever be developed to travel that far.

 

yours, is the superior... lol
