Most of the science behind the likelihood of intelligent life is just speculation, considering that we've not encountered another.

This is true........ And the likelihood of that happening however hard we may wish it to is small, very small.

 

I do agree the vast distances involved in both interstellar and intergalactic space are so vast that any likely contact with other life is not likely.......Unless both parties want that to happen and in that case that means aliens wanting to come here for whatever reason.......

 

Also I agree with Hawking, if alien life did wish to come here it wouldn't be to have a friendly chat.....

Matter and/or energy can't exist outside time. Time is simply a construct for tracking the position, velocity and state of energy and matter - it's not like we can track the levels or presence of time. If something exists, then time existed. If something didn't exist, then time is not relevant.

 

I use the word "something" conditionally. 

 

I do not mean matter nor energy, but that which contains them.

 

As you said, time is only valid given changing states. So, logically, the first state, "before" the first change, lasted for what at present can be considered an infinite amount of time. We can delineate it's duration now, relative to what happened after, but at the moment of it's occurrence it practically lasted forever.

The universe is infinite to your mom!

 

Yeah, especially to my mom.

You people studied too much physics to the degree that you have faith in it.

Talking with you is pointless.

[AventuroLegendary]

Great. Now I don't have to worry about getting abducted or disintegrated.

[Fishy]

AHh theories. Than you watch this .. and you laugh.

Oh, I wouldn't say that...

At least you don't have a ray gun. Or a... probe.

Black Hole and Blade Runner soundtrack? Very nice.

Good video, but...

 

No. I AM THE CENTER OF UNIVERSE! George Berkeley makes me think so!

[Gravisanimi]

You are the center of your (observable) universe.

[Kaiser Arian XVII]

And of course the Earth is still the center of universe... until an alien race comes out of nowhere and challenges our authority!

Never thought I would have to use this again...

There are about 200 billion stars in our galaxy alone, and as many 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe. There are many more planets in the universe than there are grains of sand on every beach on Earth, and yet our rock is the only one to have developed sapient life?

 

 

If we could visit every planet in the universe I'm certain we'd find that we're just not that special. And hasn't that been the trend anyway? Every time humanity has thought itself special, such as for example putting Earth at the center of the universe or believing that we're separate from the animal kingdom, we've later discovered that we're not.

We're actually at  the center of the universe. Since everything is anyway. Has for being special .I am special and you're. The universe can't recreate a same me. That why life is so important.

 

Also all you need is love.

[Dovahzeymahlkey]

If there arent any aliens then why does the sun rise? You cant explain that!

I was referring to the geocentric model of the universe. For many centuries most people believed the sun, the planets, and all the stars in the night sky were revolving around the Earth.

I don't think the issue is that life is ultra special, but just that it is hard to keep alive long enough to become space faring.

Even then, it likely isn't unique, but it could be rare enough that the distance between us and another sentient lifeform would be so far to travel that, even given light speed or FTL travel, it would be impractical to see each other.

If there isn't sentient life in the closest 1000 stars, it won't matter if there are trillions upon trillions of stars in hundreds of millions of galaxies - we still won't be likely to meet them, unless there are HUGE loopholes to that whole "can't go faster than the speed of light" thing that Einstein tossed out there.

[Gravisanimi]

I'm putting this out there.

 

We won't see aliens first.

 

We will see their technology first.

 

What did we send to Mars?

 

Robot drones.

 

Because it wasn't viable to try with people first.

[Inquisitor Recon]

And we destroy (then reverse engineer) their technology to send them a message.

Some people still believe that...

 

It makes me sad.
