Is there any intelligent life in the universe, other than that on Earth?

[6EQUJ5]

It is overwhelmingly likely that there is such life. Given the hundreds of billions of stars in our Milky Way galaxy, each one likely to have several planets orbiting it and the hundreds of billions of galaxies there is no shortage of the appropriate amount of suitable real estate. We do not know the size of the universe because the light from only a mere 14.7 billion years ago out there has reached us, so we cannot discern anything beyond where that came from.

There could be millions of different civilisations out there but each individual one could be so far away from the nearest other one such that despite very advanced technology none of them may be able to even detect the existence of any of the others. That would be spooky, but of course we would not know it.

And so your spiritual journey begins 6eq. Awe is a good beginning.

Imagine it.

You spend thousands of years as a civilization and invest untold resources in traversing the galaxy in the search of intelligent life. You chase the radio waves and end up arriving at Earth.

You look through the telescope and you see, Doncaster, Blackpool, Primark on a Saturday afternoon and chucking out time at Wetherspoons.

It's no wonder we're a galactic pariah, we'll have a quarantine marker around our planet more visible than a supernova.

Very profound piglet, and true. The Chinese have been living with pigs and goats in their houses and infecting the globe annually. Till now. You cant tell idiots anything. , in fact it makes them even more stubborn with an f you attitude.

If you have ever watched Cheers, Woody is the representation of the ordinary man, people are good at covering it up though. The average iq of the populace is a hundred, I am sure that is an overestimation.

Even at the highest level of society, someone who could have ruled this country, Jeremy Corbyn, is a thoroughbred cretin. It is a wonder we are where we are. Examples of cretinism are everywhere, it would be funny if it wasn't true.

Enceladus (a moon of Saturn) and Europa (a moon of Jupiter) are both entirely covered in ice. But below the ice it is theorised that there
is a lot of water in liquid form (not frozen or turned into steam) which may contain microbes. So there is quite possibly life in the Solar System other than on Earth. Of course it may be a while before such life can kick our a­rses.

Yeah, but they could already beat Carlisle. Probably.
