In almost every science fiction movies, the galaxy is filled with so many alien races. We depict them as invaders pillaging our planet for resources.
But is that true?
We cannot be sure, since we have no definite proof
The milky way is very big, so massive that there are billions of different star systems.
To answer that question, we have to look at humanity itself.
The reason we even exist.
There are many theories out there trying to explain how humans evolved to what we are today.
We started as simple minerals combining together creating cellular life forms or simply bacteria.
To get to that point, there are certain variables we have to look at.
Just the right distance
There is something called the goldilock zone or habitable zone.
Luckily earth is at just the right distance away from the sun and thanks to our ozone layer, we will not immediately die from too much sun exposure.
To support life, a planet has to be in that zone or it will be either too cold or hot for life to evolve.
The planet itself
Even if the planet is in the right zone, the sun can still be a danger. Thanks to water evaporating (and other elements) and earths gravity, an atmosphere has been formed, with that came the ozone layer.
Mars for example, has an atmosphere, but it would be too dangerous to live there without a suit, since the sun's radiation is still too dangerous, because that layer is too thin.
Even with an atmosphere, what do we need most?
Exactly
We need Water, but that is what the planet already has.
Like I said in the beginning, simple cellular "life" forms were created by combining minerals.
Evolution
Now that the planet is filled with germs, all they need is to evolve.
Easier said than done. Evolution can be slow or fast at times, it depends on outside forces.
Evolution means "adjusting", it would take a long time to explain it thoroughly, so let's just keep it simple.
Bacteria multiplied and created the first "sentient" animal.
Since life formed in the ocean, these animals developed the ability to "breathe" underwater.
Many thousands and thousands of years later, after creating different fish, getting bigger and bigger.
As I reread what I have already written, I realize my post is getting a bit out of hand and I am deviating from my original topic.
So, I will just say this now. To have these exact variables, is pretty rare, there may be billions of star systems in our galaxy, but to find earth-like planets WITH sentient life, is rare.
Also, it is unknown if those alien races are even technologically advanced.
Maybe if we visit them sometimes, they would consider us gods?
I sure do hope that I will be able to answer that question with 100% certainty.
As of now, have a nice day.
It'd be selfish to think we are the only beings occupying the universe and I do think the government knows a lot more about ET life than they disclose to the public, but I can't blame them, imagine what would happen to religion if the world was told that aliens exist...
Religions always have a way to counter a argument. Religions wouldn't be a problem, the reactions of the people will, I also don't really think it would create so much chaos. Mostly it will be curiosity added with a little bit of fear
I hope they do...
Since we exist, it is possible that aliens exist too. Scientifically speaking they absolutely do.
Yes. Would you like to speak with one?
Oh my friend they do exist and there's plenty of proof. You're just not allowed to see it (or touch it for that matter.) There's literally thousands of species floating around much more advanced (and some just a bit more advanced) than us. Some humans have known about many species of them for many years and the technology to build this system, the computer chips and pretty much all of modern technology from microwaves to lasers comes either directly or indirectly via inspiration from outside.. including velcro.. the really good stuff has molecular hooks and eyes so small it creates invisible seams on alien spacesuits. I Shit you not !
Some species are groovy and quite like our music and sense of humour, others are so boring you wouldn't want a beer with one and they're so clever they see us like we see rats. good for experiments but otherwise just a nuisance.
Others are plain nasty and are so bad they don't even have a word for bad !
I hope this answers your question. If you are under 50 there's a good chance you'll live to meet or at least see a real live waving it's hands in the alien and yes it will freak the shit out of you, in fact you will not be able to think about anything else for about 5-15 years, but eventually you'll get over it, have a laugh about and wonder how thick you must have been to even question the idea
is there life out there.. life ? !! the only analogy I can make that might give some proper context is that we live in the equivalent of a drop of water at the edge of a pond in a small village just off the highway near kentucky and the real action is happening in Tokyo/
