Do you think other life exists?

[gatoratoy227]

we as humans don't even know every thing on "our" planet deep sea exploration for example does any one have any ideas on whats still to be discovered on our own planet just think about this for a second we've never seen any thing bellow 2500 feet under water at the same time imagine the universe as an ocean we only know a limited amount of it because technology is only so advanced once we are able to build some type of communation that its signal will match or even break the speed of light then we will start to find out other things untill then.......... its the waiting game

I happend to believe in both.

The irony is anyone from either side dismissing the other side as crack pot crazy talk.

All electromagnetic radiation, such as radio waves, travel at the speed of light...

We have also gone far below 2500 feet

Its just in the grand scheme of things, the speed of light isn't all that fast. And our electromagentic signals get dissipated anyway, nobody's going to hear us outside of our own solar system.

Ok stright up i do think there are other life form. but my queston is. why dose nasa think they can only exist with water?

and with so many planets whos to say. they can only survive. based off how we do?

[BoB393]

Yup, There just has to be, we can't be that egotistical to think in a
universe this vast that we are the only one!

[Parcs]

Consider the possibility that "life" is a fundamental force of the universe. Just like gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces.

I think NASA is searching for carbon based life, which by scientific consensus needs water. There may be some other life forms out there that don't, but right now there's no evidence and they only exist for sure in the minds of science fiction writers.

NASA doesn't know what else to search for - so they only search for what they know. The people at NASA would love to discover some alien life that could only exist in the presence of ammonia or methane - for example. But without a reason to think it happened, they won't spend the resources to investigate every planet with ammonia or methane.
