Science We may have answered the Fermi Paradox: We are alone in the universe

I like baloney sandwiches too.

 

Better slather some Miracle Whip on that bitch while you are at it.

 

Bones, how did you learn to speak for the first time? Simplest answer you can think of.

 

I once did a rough "back of an envelope" calculation and came up with a probability that the chance of life elsewhere, especially intelligent life, was practically zero.

I really enjoy science fiction but in the end I realize that's just what it is, fiction.

 

So God's child's toy is a woman?

 

So........just because we haven’t seen concrete proof/they haven’t revealed themselves to us means that they likely don’t exist??? Maybe I’m just plain stupid (very possible) but......in a universe as vast as ours (we really have absolutely no idea how big it is) isn’t it possible there are life forms similar to us (maybe numerous “colonies”) existing somewhere just as we are? Going about their existence as we are, stuck on their own planet just as we are, seeking evidence of life in the universe and not finding it just as we have done so far? As @Chris Craig pointed out, traveling through the vast reaches of space takes technology we are nowhere near producing. Maybe other civilizations lack that kind of science also. We seem to be hung up on the idea that it’s up to other life forms to find us in order to prove they exist. Maybe it’s the other way around. And just because we haven’t found what constitutes proof within our realm of understanding doesn’t mean that proof......or other life forms.....don’t exist. Okay, now my head really hurts from all that thinking........

 

Look at all the factors you've gotta have to have life.
1. You've gotta have sufficient iron in the core to provide a magnetic shield to ward off the deadly radiation from your nearby star;
2. You've got to be rotating at a sufficient rate for the iron core to provide a magnetic field to ward off the radiation;
3. This happened when the Earth was struck at just the right angle by another planetoid that had a large amount of iron that combined with the Earth's iron. The Earth had to be molten hot for the iron to sink to the center;
4. Your planet has to be within the Goldilocks zone;
5. You've got to be bombarded by enough water molecules to create oceans and lakes and rivers;
6. Your planet must be made up of material from third or fourth generation stars;
7. It takes a while for life to be generated;
8. It also takes a while for your planet to cool off so life has a chance of a foothold.

I'm sure there are others that I've forgotten. I made my back of an envelope calculation ten or maybe more years ago.

Nope, even calculating all the known and theorized material in the Universe there is not a significant chance of life developing anywhere.

We're almost assuredly alone so we'd better quit screwing the place up and take care of things if life is to survive and spread.

 

Resolving this equation yields N = Bull Shit

 

It's alright! No need to worry.

Can you find Maddox Woods at the North end of River St. I will be in sight there. Either that or on the other side of the river at the dock at the park when I contact you.
Probably into August now.

 

You've discovered the formula for a black hole!

 

H×C/P is the formula for a butthole....I kid, I kid....

 

We're living in The Matrix which just so happens to be contained in Lisa Simpson's petrie dish and we'll never know it.

 

Found some intelligent life in California. Finally

 

I really do wonder if all the prescription drugs people take are causing this or if it just the cameras everywhere that show it.

I see people ignoring rules like that every day, does this guy flip out every time? Has he done it for years? Wtf?

 

Just let me know. I’ll find it...

 

Maybe it was really loaded and stuff was falling out or maybe he's related to the old troll yelling at the hispanic guy and his mom. The burrito was the last straw!

Either way.......get em gramps!!!!
