There was something about this on the radio the other week. To do with an inter-galactic highway I think.

Well, numbers are irrelevant when we talk of the infinite but yes, there are many and it's possible one or more contain life. Possible but unlikely. It's only a theory that it's unlikely. Nobody knows nuffink guv.
I think most of us disagree with you there, but you don't want to go into that right now, yet you keep posting it?

It's out there somewhere, it just ain't coming here.

Why do Alien abductions only happen to Americans?

Because that's where all the important people live, apparently.

I know! I can't resist, it fascinates me and I'm having me lunch at my desk! I certainly couldn't argue against anyone's theories, layman or expert. We simply don't know and that is what is exciting to me.
If only the top secret US military knew of it, then I doubt we'd be told. But that's no reason to assume it exists (the evidence).

No one would be able to keep something like that hidden for so long, human nature testifies to this.
But with such a ridiculously stupid amount of stars and planets out there, I can't even imagine why you think that basic life on some of them is so unlikely

strong and stable with me, or...
It is highly likely that life does exist elsewhere, has done in the past and will do in the future. The sheer vastness of the universe makes it probable rather than improbable. The universe is about 13.8 billion years old from what we know.
What is probably highly unlikely, given the vastness of space, is that we'll never make contact with anything outside our solar system, given our nearest galaxy (a dwarf galaxy within the boundaries of the Milkyway itself, is some 42,000 light years away. Even our next nearest star takes light 4.2 years to get here. Our best bet is finding evidence of the existence of life within our own solar system, which we still may do.

We can't state either of those as fact but we can't dismiss them either.
Oops, double negative strikes.

Thanks, interesting theory regarding genetic memory.
The conditions for life on Earth are so specific, but why would life anywhere else have to be the same as on life on Earth?
I would have thought the odds for there not being any other life in the universe would be far greater than the odds for there being something out there somewhere. What I wouldn't do, however, is quickly google 'extraterrestrial life', and then post the first YouTube link that comes up, stating it as FACT and then laugh at anyone who doesn't agree with me.

Yes, agreed, like I said, it could most likely take the form of something we couldn't imagine. A gas, a feeling, something beyond our comprehension. Either way, the likelyhood of us finding wooly mamoths on Mars are remote.
Has anyone tried watching that video? It is mind-numbingly stupid.
