Is it mathematically impossible for us to be the only planet with life?

Does life exist on another planet, do they live like us?

  • Have you ever wondered about other life in our galaxy. Well explore this thought and express your views good or bad. If life exist here why not somewhere else?

  • Answer:

    So far we've seen no verifiable evidence of other sentient species. That said, I believe with some certainty that somewhere in our galaxy at some past, present, or future time, a sentient species did/does/will exist. Why haven't we heard from them? Perhaps they are not technologically advanced enough to be heard. They may be mastering stone knives right now, or experiencing their own Rennaisance. Perhaps they are here right now. Any species sufficiently advanced to travel interstellar distances would be able to hide or masquerade with ease. That Boeing 737 that just flew by may be a surveillance craft. Perhaps they are so far away they will never notice us and vice versa. Perhaps they existed a million years ago and died out. Perhaps they will exist a million years from now. It is really impossible to know for sure. The Drake Equation suggests that there is sentient life out there. The Fermi Paradox casts doubt. Play around with the calculation form at the second link and see what you think.

I remember the last time I went there, they were quite similar.

It does exist elsewhere. We just haven't found it yet.

I believe life does exist on other planets, But I would hope that it is nothing like ours !

The universe is way too large to rule out life on other planets. It is very likely that there are. Our galaxy isn't the oldest galaxy and there could be other galaxies that have lifeforms on there that are billions of years ahead of our time.

I do believe somewhere there is life, living somewhat like us. When you think about it, do you really think were alone in this large universe which we can't even fully explore? Maybe right now at this moment, other people, on another planet are wondering the same, and wondering if life other then their planet exists. one day we'll know.. maybe some people do know the answer to that but are hiding it, maybe there is aliens that go to area 51, we'll eventually know one day ;]

There is no life on other planets.

must be possible. there must be some similarities between ours life and others. because all elements found on earth is same for hole universe so life developed from this elements must have some but not all similarities. even on the earth bacteria have a no eyes,ears,nose which we have.

If we could journey to another planet and remotely view them and see them destroying themselves would you live like them, I very much doubt extraterrestrial life would want to live like us, we don't set a very good example do we now. Many things are wondered about other life, but it is ourselves we should be more concerned about

it does, and they're watching threes company right now........seriously, we will likely never know if their is or isn't.
