If aliens ever find us, they'll exterminate us and take our natural resources. >_> |

that is assuming other intelligent life in this universe is just like us. |

lol I would like to think that any intelligent lifeform which has advanced enough to travel across the stars would have evolved past the retarded stage we currently find ourselves in. |

Yeah because that would be assuming they evolved just like us. They might just be really retarded creatures that happen to have access to the right resources on their planet and have evolved to the point where they can withstand traveling across the universe |

If you really want to be able to get somewhere in the universe, you gotta be able to travel at at least the speed of light, and even then it can take almost forever (figuratively) to get anywhere. For example: The Voyager spacecraft is traveling away from the Sun at a rate of 17.3 km/s. If Voyager were to travel to the center of our Galaxy, it would take more than 450,000,000 years to travel the 8 kpc. If it could travel at the speed of light, an impossibility due to Special Relativity, it would still take over 26,000 years to arrive! At 17.3 km/s, it would take Voyager over 1,700,000,000 years to traverse the entire length of the Milky Way Galaxy. Even traveling at the speed of light, it would take nearly a hundred thousand years. From: http://heasarc.nasa.gov/docs/cosmic/milkyway_info.html If aliens come from another galaxy, and there are billions of them (galaxies, that is), with billions of stars in them, and so with many more billions of planets in there, it would be a pretty big coincidence if they happen to stumble upon earth. I'm sure there's more life in the universe, it's actually pretty naive (or even arrogant) to think we're the only ones. Maybe aliens already showed up a couple hundred thousand years ago, figured our masturbation prone monkey ancestors weren't worthy of inter species communication, and they took off after dumping a few duckbill platypi on earth (just for shits and giggles). |

It would be terribly arrogant to assume we are the only lifeforms in the universe. But I think its becoming increasingly clear we may have underestimated just how much other life is out there. Discoveries of water on the moon, mars and europa make me wonder. Water seems to be the most important ingredient for life here on Earth, in some places it seems to be the only requirment. I think its quite likely there is other life in the solar system, maybe in the form of bacteria. Intelligent life is the problem. We cant begin to comment on how common it is until we understand how and why we came to develop it. There are millions of species on the planet though, and only one that has advanced as far as us. I dont like the interstellar travel is impossible arguments though. Never have. We know alot but not all that much about how shit works. We still dont understand gravity for example. I think interstellar travel will be possible if we survive long enough to develop it. |

If we survive, yes. If 'we' somehow don't kill ourselves, we'll have about a billion years to figure something out. The sun is half-way through it's main-sequence evolution, and in about 5 billion years it will enter it's red giant phase. But, in a billion years it'll be too hot already for liquid water, making life impossible here. So we had better have come up with something by then because our Solar System won't be a good home anymore. We should look into getting into a different galaxy, though. Approximately 4.5 bilion years from now the Andromeda galaxy will collide with the Milky Way, and Xenu knows what will happen then. Since I'll be living forever, I don't just want to sit here and wait for that cosmic nazi to come invadin', I want to get the fuck outta here. My first experiment will be moving to Ohio, that place should be plenty alien to me at the moment... |

I think the sombrero galaxy makes a good candidate. |

I'm on board for that, even if only because it has an impressively large bulge and a supermassive black hole (ti hi hi). |

Relativity is a terrible argument for why aliens have never visited us. It's not a law, it's a theory, it can always be proven wrong, though obviously it's not incredibly likely that any of us will live to see the day in which it is. I do however have faith in our race to in some way or another survive until we would need to leave the planet. And I also have faith in our ability to find a new place to live. What I would be most interested in is seeing exactly WHAT we brought with us. Assuming we can travel at the speed of light, I don't think it would be out of the question for large pieces of architecture to be brought along that are iconic remembrances of the planet we left behind. Also if we don't have ftl capabilities yet, I could easily see a firefly situation where Our race exists for many generations on ships traveling to some manner of solar system that could support us. Hell, even if we did such a thing might be necessary. |

Why worrying about moving to a new galaxy? How about moving to another universe before this one collapses? |

![]() Obviously the human race will be moving to different solar systems first, then different galaxies. Then, when the universe is about to collapse, we will find one that will sustain our life for a brief period of time (universe wise brief period - it would probably be at least a billion years), and then we would return to our universe once it is done collapsing and begun expanding again all k-pax like. In the end, it turns out that all the UFOs are actually human spaceships from a later point in human evolution in which we've discovered not only how to travel much faster than light but also how to travel between universes. I thought this was a given. |
