With the scale of the universe to think that there is no other "intelligent life" is not just arrogant but outright stupid.

However, the real question is will we ever "meet" them or "communicate" with them before we, them or all of us are already gone?

From the post:

>Whether it’s giant war-mongering spaceships, green humanoid Martians, or creepy beings slithering across uncharted planets, science fiction has painted a very particular image when it comes to aliens. But while you might think it takes a tin-foil-wearing conspiracy theorist to believe in such life outside of Earth, many highly distinguished scientists are believers too. In fact, when surveyed, 86.6 per cent of astrobiologists recently said they either agreed or strongly agreed that extraterrestrial life likely exists somewhere else in the Universe. When asked the same question but for complex or intelligent life, the agreeing percentage only drops to 58.2 per cent. More believe than don’t. So, what do these scientists know that we don’t know? And why are they so sure we’re not alone in this Universe?

I'm no scientist but I am educated and well read. I just can't believe that Earth is the only planet with abundant life as well as "intelligent" life. LOL. Space is vast and many stars seem to have their own planets orbiting around them. It is just hard for me to believe that our Earth is it, the only planet with life. It seems that it would just be a waste of space to me...

Logic and data alone suggests that it would be impossible.

Contact is the debate. Are they still alive? Can we ever "meet" them? That is the real problem.

If you don't think there is other life (intelligent life) out there then you are ignoring reality.

I mean mildly interesting read but their "most experts" and the like literally all consist of the polling of astrobiologists. I'm pretty sure you don't get into that field unless you're already leaning into that.

"So, your an astrobiologist? That's the study of life throughout the universe right?"

"Yeah. That's my main focus."

"So you went in thinking there's probably extra terrestrial life somewhere?"

"Oh, no. I figured this career was a sham and waste of time. My field is honestly slightly less relavent than Jedi studies or the history of Hogwarts."

Fair point. it seems like it could be useful but for the most part is not.

I'm sure everyone here remembers Men in Black. They've already told us how it is to a certain extent. Hollywood isn't that creative.

We already have and do daily. You just don’t know it. Not saying lizard people, but yeah they here.

And if you accept this is a simulation then the concept of aliens changes drastically, as they don’t come fro out there, it’s likely a dimension shift or entry exit point.

Is it such a reach to believe that while the government manipulates everything from advertising to weather, they do not manipulate news and information regarding deep space?

They should get the No Shit Sherlock award.
