Is there life out there that is more intelligent than us?

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Yes there is.

 

[entanglement]

Thought this thread was referring to life outside of UM initially

We limit our understanding conditions required for the occurrence of life to what WE require for life. Perhaps the very idea of 'cell' is irrelevant at this planet. Perhaps all those probes looking for activity overlooked tiny grains of living, intelligent sand.

I personally believe that, even if there were other life on some other planet, we would not be able to perceive it due to dimensional gaps.

This is what this thread is about. Because a lot of us can agree that there is some life out there, whether it is a single celled bacteria, maybe a small creature like a mouse, or what ever.

I find it highly likely that it'd be a single-celled bacteria at most.

I personally believe that, even if there were other life on some other planet, we would not be able to perceive it due to dimensional gaps.

I dunno about "dimensional gaps" but...agreed. It certainly might challenge our notions of what it means to "live"

Maybe the life out there can survive really extreme temperatures, like the sun.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

I doubt something could live on the sun though something probably could live close to it

Maybe you should try that one out and see what happens . Not even roaches could survive that kind of environment.

 

[mutantllama]

Yeah, but we are talking about non earthly things.

 

[waif]

They would have to be non-carbon based. Actually, pretty much non-anything based. Seriously. The sun melts fucking everything.

 

[whiskey funeral]

Mutantllama, I'am quite sure there's a life more intelligent than you, because that could be like.. anything.

Oh snap

Ok, well maybe not the Sun. But maybe they could survive something pretty damn hot, like Venus.

 

[Vitor]

we shall never know.

anyway, i guess they aren't so smart like us.

How do you know there aren't elements that are 5000000x more melt-proof than carbon

 

[Death Aflame]

seems pretty likely

.

Well that does it for this topic...

 

[zabu of nΩd]

And people think the masturbation thread is stupid.

you're back!
Just saying...noticed you were gone.

@V: How do you know the aliens aren't gay?
