This right here.
Of course there are basics scientific properties that are essential for life but I feel the universe to vast to just have the EXACT same properties of life as Earth does. Hell, as the Milky Way does.

Most importantly, future humans will marvel at the tragedy of our time, where we know that life most certainly exists but we cannot know for certain and worse yet, we cannot engage in super-luminous travel to find life that is surely littered through out the galaxy and the universe.

Humans have chafted under a period of crude living and ignorance for most of our hundred millenia of existence but only now are we so acutely aware of how little we know and how little we could actually do. 

I think about this all the time! I wish I could just get a quick glance of what will be going on in 30+ centuries. Especially with how fast technology has been advancing it would be absolutely mind blowing to see the knowledge and technology we've gained in the years to come.



Exactly dude life will continue to go on for millions of years but the fact we wont expierience it is sorta depressing.

What if they are life on the planet and their not as advanced as us? Like middle ages? or worse they have better technology and were in the 'middle' ages to them?

Were like the Flintstones compared to their Jetsons?

What if all the women there are genetically made up to have tig 'o biddies and Dat Masses?

Only God knows...

when you step back and pause for a moment and truly THINK about what goes on here, you cant but believe in a higher all encompassing "power" ... believe in the big bang all you want (I Do) but someone had to create the things that banged ...

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction ... The Butterfly Effect ... Free Will ... Most of what we learn is based on the fact that we have a choice and that choice creates an outcome ... In this computer program I am getting ready to reply to this thread, in another I may have a different haircut or not be at work or whatever, but my choices still resulted in me responding to this thread ... In another program I never went to the HS I went to my senior year and didnt learn about NT so I'm not reading any of this ...

Deja Vu ...
