Just because there may be ‘life’ on other worlds does not mean it’s friendly.........................
I predict we won’t find anything that is intelligent.
I hope the rise of the world’s oceans has been reversed by then.
And Climate change is man made....
We’re already not “alone” in the sense that we share the planet with close to 1.6 million other species of living things.
I doubt they will get ‘proof’ of any life forms outside of our planet. They are likely that even if their where, they are so far away as to be outside of ‘listening’ ability. The static noise of space would drown out any ‘proof’.
Even as a teenager I used to look up at the Milky Way at night and think to myself, “There ain’t no way that there isn’t life out there somewhere.” It’s a common sense thing. ;-)
What evidence they'd need to conditionally declare life on any planet they find might not necessarily match our own.
Humans have been transmitting intelligent analog signals for over one hundred years and digitized signals for the past forty. If Mr. Einstein is correct, it is virtually impossible for alien biological or mechanical entities to visit earth or us them giver the enormous distances. However it is not beyond belief to assume that a distant advanced culture, itself linked to other distant advanced cultures, has received our signals and has sent a response. Perhaps in twenty or thirty years you will open your computer and it will display a truly wondrous message.
Isn’t NASA actually supposed to do stuff & not just speculate and predict.
Not gonna happen. Talk about over-promise, under-deliver. The most they will come up is some theory about how some planet “must have life” based on gases, climate, etc.
With billions of galaxies, Earth will ultimately prove to be not so special.
This is a great message for getting funding. “200 years” would not be nearly as interesting.
Classic example of a "scientific wild ass guess" made without any supporting data at all. Which means, of course, that there's nothing scientific about it at all, making it only a "wild ass guess."
A scientists' "wild ass guess" has no greater validity at all than anybody else's.
