jtval 0 #31 June 25, 2003 QuoteThere is almost certainly other life out there. However, we have some rather funny ideas about what sort of life we will find when we start looking. Popular culture tells us that the aliens will be: -intelligent -self aware -interested in talking to us -interested in trying to deal with us -into space travel -have about our values This comes, of course, from popular culture, science fiction movies in which aliens look like us except they have funny noses. Think about dolphins. We can't even decide if they have a true language or not, or if they're intelligent! And they are our blood brothers compared to anything alien we will find. Consider that we have reasonable evidence that there is microbial life on Mars, and not only can we not come to a consensus on that, we aren't even pushing to go there and find out. And, of course, we can't even understand different human cultures without friction now. I don't think we have a prayer of understanding any advanced life if and when we come across it. I hope we do come across that life, because we'll learn a lot about ourselves in the attempt to understand what we've found. you act as if there would only be ONE group of aliens! Hmm... why would that be? maybe there are thousands of species out there. may they were all form the same colonizing planets and look a liliteldifferent and evloved differently. maybe there are differ life forms hat we've yet to understand at all! hmmMy photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Popular culture tells us that the aliens will be: -intelligent -self aware -interested in talking to us -interested in trying to deal with us -into space travel -have about our values Additionally - organic, limited to environments similar to ours (atmospheric, gravimetric, and temperate), similar in structure to life forms we recognize (e.g. have a brain, blood-like fluid, endo or exo skeleton, etc). I figure there are probably many, many "alien" life forms, and it wouldn't surprise me if we've already interacted with some at some level. We just have no basis for recognizing them.

txblondie 0 #38 June 26, 2003 QuoteQuoteVery interesting, but how can you be sure that aliens are more advanced then we are? Well seems to me if they can fly through interstellar space and possibly visit other worlds and all we can do is a hop a quarter million miles to our moon, I'd say they are quite a bit more advanced than us. Yes, but how do you know that they CAN fly through interstellar space? Perhaps they have a bunch of people sitting around, like NASA, trying to design ways to explore the universe, just like us. Or perhaps they walk around on four legs and sniff each other's asses like dogs! Of course, my whole problem with the issue is that, for all that I LOVE alien movies and science fiction, I believe it to be just that-fiction. I don't think there are aliens. ***************************************** Blondes do have more fun! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
