do you believe in aliens?

Much like how companies continuously buy patents for superior products to prevent competition I believe that anyone with the time and resources for interstellar travel is closely monitored to prevent them from cracking the code. The technology exists. The average person just is never made privy to it. We are not alone in this infinite ass universe. That is a fact.

Oh something related to space, i have to post. Some scientist thinks (and i think they're right), that life is like a virus. Life always want to emerge and spread if she have the opportunity to do it. So i think, life exist somewhere in the universe. Talking about alien species, is too vague. Humans are looking for aliens species who have evolved like we do. But maybe there's a planet somewhere full of animals, or a green land with only trees. I count trees and animals as life.

yes i think its pretty ignorant to think we are the only life in the universe now are we the only intelligent life? well that narrows things down are they more intelligent than us? narrowed down even more i will say this though, if they do exist they had billions of years to find us

Yesss I think aliens exist. I feel like it just makes sense cause it works to provide a good explanation to why we exist. The aliens probably made us, and that'd explain why we haven't had direct (proven) contact with our creators yet. Maybe they made us and a bunch of other life forms on different planets and it wasn't worth going through the process of contact with every single one. That then begs the question, "who are their creators then?". Their creators might be other, more advanced aliens, or maybe their creator was the 'original' creator. The original creator being the alien who made the universe as well. A good way to understand this can be a convenient lamp analogy. The very first created lamp gave a path for every other type of lamp to be created. That doesn't mean every lamp in existence was made by the person who invented lamps.

Well I do believe we already found bacteria in other parts of the solar system (correct me if I am wrong) so technically alien life does exist. As for little blue or green men or reptilians or w/e design floats your boat, it's a mathematical certainty, that somewhere out in the known universe they exist. As for stories about alien abduction and anal probing, sounds like delusional hysteria. Why would an intelligent species travel thousands of light years just to stick a probe up your ass? As far as our galaxy is concerned we are likely the only intelligent life here. Upon learning about the Fermi paradox, I have become to accept it. That intelligent life such as ours is far more rare than we believe. Think about it. If wasn't for that asteroid, it's possible dinosaurs would still be the dominant species on this planet. It is likely other alien species died off before they can get to far into space travel. Perhaps our own species is also doomed to such a fate.

The universe is just way too vast for us to be alone. There are so many planets out there in the Goldilocks zone of their parent stars and they could host life. Not just planets, but moons can have potential as well. And really, perhaps not all life out there would even need the same conditions as us to be met to prosper? But if I were to follow a Star Trek mentality, I could say they're waiting for us to develop warp drives before making contact. We are, after all, such primitives. XD

I think the approach most scientists go is a little weird (oxygen and water based planets are „the only source of life“) to find possible alien planets. This might be how life on earth evolved, but even on earth we have deep see animals that work completely different from what we are used to. Life always find it‘s way, as it‘s main instinct is to survive and reproduce. So it is most likely also able to evolve in a different atmosphere, with different gravity and density as well as a different diluting liquid. Oh and lets not forget about temperatures. We may have had luck with our perfect conditions and there might be a planet and an alien species with the same conditions, but I guess it‘s way easier to find one with vastly different ones. To be fair, I‘m always very hyped when scientists are able to find traces of past life on a different planet. It‘s just too interesting to not be interested!

Does the ant know we exist? Do they have the capacity to understand? In other words, how would we even begin to understand "IF" other species happen to be far more advanced than us. If I can travel across the universe, what makes this hairless ape special enough to even remotely care about? I can travel light years, but this creature thinks it's self important enough to be noticed? Nah, I have better things to do. Or, maybe just as a single ant, I choose to not even notice them. In other words, they are not important enough to even consider interaction. While I believe the universe contains mysteries and life forms we can hardly fathom at the moment, I don't believe our little planet filled with creatures that woul try to kill another foreign species is special enough to even entertain another. But, in the off chance another does/has visited, I'd be more wary than excited. Think about it. Life as we know it is more about survival of the most violent. We have gone from living in the trees, to using sticks/stones and even those sticks and stones were more than enough to make us the number one predator. But, no, we wanted more. We can destroy entire cites in the blink of an eye and make them uninhabitable for centuries to come. That's just us. What about a species that can traverse the universe? I'd suspect our most powerful of weapons would be like sparks to them and their reasons for wanting to interact would not necessarily be peaceful. We weren't even peaceful to our own in foreign lands when we first met, so there's that.

We have a few hundred tardigrades on the moon now thanks to the Behersheet crash. So if they reproduce asexually or sexually (probably the latter) then we'll have aliens. They can survive in space so I believe they'll mutate in no time.
