For real man, it's pretty hard to put things in perspective. The video did help though.Originally Posted by ChiqGa

but who is to say that the way life evolved on earth is the ONLY way that life could exist?.Originally Posted by infamousod
Ok I did some consulting and got some science to further support my mathematically-based theory of why it is extremely unlikely (nay impossible) that there is life somewhere else in the universe. Not only are there trillions (or more) of factors that need to be in perfect order but you can start eliminating most of the solar systems off the top. Any system within a galactic core is being bombarded by gamma radiation and therefore sterilizes anything within its reach. This accounts for about 80% of the stars.
FYI this solar system is on one of the outer bands of the Milky Way.
Add to that you can eliminate any system with binary, pulsar, and neutron stars too, among a few others. All of a sudden the pool for potentially life-sustaining stars is lowered dramatically. There still are countless other systems that may have the right conditions, but there are so many variables involved, that it's far from probable that there is intelligent life out there, and unfathomable that whatever is out there has made it to Earth and has been flying around.

PS:@ Religion possibly explaining any of this.

Well, I wouldn't say there's no way. Anyways, what Dirty is alluding to is that maybe it's possible that aliens wouldn't becarbon-based (or needing to inhabit a planet with the same properties as Earth) and as such, all our mathematical guesses would be invalid.Originally Posted by Mez 0ne

There is no way that life only exists here, and here only.
