Re: Scale of the universe

Here's another really sweet video. First minute or so is black, but there's audio. Don't be alarmed.

Re: Scale of the universe

utterly amazing. I just wish we could somehow get in contact with SOMETHING. I feel lonely on this planet, when I know there are other lifeforms out there that we can meet. It's a little frustrating.

The beauty of evolution though suggests that life on other planets would be very different. Of course, we may only be able to get in contact with other life if it's evolved (biologically and technologically) intelligent enough to send signal out in the first place. But actually TRAVERSING the cosmos seems to be a hugely difficult feat without the help of things like wormholes, as it would take many many years for us to venture outside of our own galaxy.

Im sure we will eventually, although by the time our Radio signals reach "them" the signals will be so distorted and spread out it would most likely be unrecognizable(there is a institute doing this at the moment although the name escapes me right now) But rest assured you dont need to feel lonely when there is more then enough evidence supporting the theory that life does exist and probably intellectual life, just look up "The Drake Equation". or I can just say they estimate that there is 10 sextillion stars in the universe, now even if only 1 out of every million stars has a habitable planet thats still billions of them. The problem at hand is reaching them which we will either need a wormhole or a "warp" drive as sci-fi people call it which is in essence theoretically possible
