I just saw this and couldn't believe it

http://atinyglimpse.ytmnd.com/

I dont know if its been posted here before but i searched and couldn't find it.

the pictures reminded me of atoms floating around, then i started day dreaming (cuz I've gotten like 6 and a half hours of sleep each night this week ) and thought if each of those galaxies was an atom that made up a whole world and so on.

if thats a legitimate photograph, it pretty much rules out the "we're the only intelligent life out their" argument, what do you think?

I think ther IS DEFINATELY life on other planets. But:
1. They're not developed as us.
2. They're at the same stage as us.
3. The universe is waaaaaaaaay too big for them to meet us, even if they could move at the speed of light.

twiistaaa, good point, it would just seem pointless to have all that to only have one planet with life.. that will probably end soon enough anyways. But yeah its a HUGE place so the chances of me ever seeing life on another planet in my life are probably fairly slim..

But it makes you want to have a look.

BTW I sometimes wonder if there's intelligent life on Earth...

lol yea..

A while back when i got really interested in string theory. I read this theory that a guy had that stated that humans may not be wired to fully understand the way the universe works(physics stuff). Much like dogs cant comprehend mathematics.

We are not alone. It would be incredibly arrogant for Mankind to declare that there is nobody else around. There are about 100 billion stars in the Milky Way Galaxy alone. Out of that 100 billion stars there has to be another planet that supports life. Probability demands it (we just gotta find it). So yes I believe in ET

The thing is that the universe is possibly an infinite amount of space. When you think about how far that really is, it would be ridiculous to say there isn't other life out there.

With the problems we have on our own planet, it'll be a LONG time before mankind will make it to Mars sucessfully.

I've seen this picture many times...

I believe intelligent life on other worlds is a given... until we come up with faster-than-light travel (accordin to Einstein IMPOSSIBLE).. we will never know.

I think the biggest question is.... what would the telescope see if it could look past those galaxies....?

What if we could see what space was like before the Big Bang?

Really? I thought it kind of weak. But I like it a lot if it is educating people, as it apparently is. That's a great thing.

All I need to believe that we are not alone is to walk out to my backyard around midnight on a moonless night. Forget other galaxies. Forget stuff hubble can only see. Look at the night sky! I don't understand how anyone can possibly assume there isn't life out there. There are 1,000's of stars visible to my own naked eye. If there are 3,000 stars I can see... and if half of them have 3 planets.... thyt's 4,500.
Also, how can you say what stage of development 'they' are at? Right about equal to us? Nah... It's all like Star Trek, man. Some are more advanced then us and some are not.
I don't believe in UFO's, though. Maybe one or two... I mean as Carl Sagan said (and as you can figure the probabilities by looking at your night sky) "it would be pretty damn hard to find us out there...".

But all of this flies in the face of God. That's where our arrogance comes from.
"But God ceated us!...."
You can't believe in "Aliens" AND God if you're a good catholic.

Anyone see "Contact"? That could happen.

Don't get me started on religion...

makes you wonder huh? just thinking about all this spacey stuff hurts my head :p i mean, how is there a space? it never ends so what happens? what is space inside of? very mind boggling...

Not all Christians are fundamentalists...

I look at science and I see things that actually prove that God exists.

In a way I believe that there are many, many other planets out there that support the same life as we have on planet Earth. But, however, because all the planets which support the same life forms are soo far apart, that it will take many, many thousands of years for them too met. But because of the life cycle of planet earth, I believe that all these planets will end up killing themselves before they managed to explore far enough into each galaxy, and will therefore never meet each other.

It is a crying sham that we will never meet any other alien life, but that is what the human (the Earth) is destined for because of the basis of humanity.

There's gotta be something else out there. We can't be the only thing in the universe. And can you even imagine what's PAST THAT? The universe is infinite, in my belief, and because of that there must be something else out there. Maybe not intelligent life, but there's life.

Considering if you move faster then the speed of light it would be possible to travel from there to earth in under a second with constant speed changes probably. Also yea, it is gaurenteeded that there is more life out there its just impossible to us to prove it right now. Just wait until we get some extreme engines that can push us at the speed of light.
