Please explain to me why aliens would want to visit Earth.

Who says they do?

It's a pity that so many people think earth is the only planet that can support life out of all the billon's of galaxies and etc that they haven't even seen or expolered ... but I think that they will begin to show themselves to see what we are doing with the planet and maybe show us advance stuff we don't know about if anything probly .

Ummm....Yeah!!!^

Based on what I've learned from the classes I'm taking, the probability of ever actually ENCOUNTERING other lifeforms not a part of our solar system is highly unlikely.

I do believe they exist, though.

ZG pegged it, I think. They may exist, but odds are poor we'll ever meet up with 'em. Absent nigh-miraculous 'Star Trek'-style tech, distance is pretty much an insurmountable problem even for light-speed communications, to say nothing of travel.

Also, if they are advanced enough to powerdrive over here, I think they'd be playing with the hyper hovercraft in Alpha Centauri instead of talking to algae like us.

^Algae? Dude, I am at least a fungus.

what class is this

as this doesn't seem right.

***Booyakasha*** · 03-04-2008, 01:14 PM

^Space is incomprehensibly vast. Yes, odds are good that Earth isn't the only planet to grow life. On the other hand, if intelligent life evolves more than a few light-years away from Earth (you know, where the overwhelming majority of Existence is), we're effectively never going to know about it unless some miraculous, impossible sci-fi technology makes the scene (note: it won't).

**Deku Trii** · 03-04-2008, 01:19 PM

Maybe it'll make their scene.

***Booyakasha*** · 03-04-2008, 01:21 PM

I don't see how impossible sci-fi technology becomes less impossible just because the people working on it live on planet Gazoombo instead of Earth.

**Deku Trii** · 03-04-2008, 01:31 PM

Sometimes impossible just means insurmountably impractical. I'm not trying to make the argument that it has or will happen. I agree that it's quite unlikely.

My Physical Universe class, which is on astronomy. Scientists have used telescopes to find other galaxies, who knows how many light years away, with solar systems just like ours - a heliocentric based solar systems with one star serving basically as our "Sun" does, orbited by planets. And MANY of these galaxies have been seen; the probability that we are truly the only life forms in the entire universe is incredibly minute.
