Do you think we'll ever find life elsewhere in the solar system?

[Anonymous No.3585584]

I give it a 30%, and even then it'll be microbes or something equally microscopic.

[Anonymous No.3585587]

0% chance in our solar system, other galaxies maybe.

its fucking science

[Anonymous No.3585588]

nope

[Anonymous No.3585591]

yes, probably microscopic

Someone doesn't know about Europa.

>0% chance in our solar system
You don't believe that. This implies impossibility - infinite confidence that there is no life in our solar system outside Earth.

Give us what you really think the odds are.

Five years ago, McKay and other scientists pointed out that if methane-based life existed on Titan, it might be detectable through a surface depletion of ethane, hydrogen, and acetylene. New observations show that this is the case; there are lower amounts of these substances than the chemistry of Titan would indicate.

where there is liquid shit for molecules to react each other

[Anonymous No.3585618]

yeh there is no life on those moons of Jupiter

if the science guys were taking that shit seriously it would've been tested ages ago.

unfortunately life needs a lot of variables to go right for it to exist, and just for starters the temperatures on jupiters moons are insanely low. To imply that life somehow got through that crazy cold surface and down towards the core where it might be warmer is just stupid, and for life to have just started there AND ALSO started on our planet? 2 in the same solar system come on now, its more than a billion to one shot.

I'm gonna put my money on Saturn.

Yeah sure we'll get right on that.

Stop excusing the things you don't know for being impossible.

[Anonymous No.3585624]

I'd like to see the research your basing this off of. lolol

[Anonymous No.3585622]

>unfortunately life needs a lot of variables to go right for it to exist,
thats Earth-like life. There are some bacteria that can survive in vacuum, with temperature of 0.00000000001 K.

[Anonymous No.3585625]

moons of planets further out from jupiter are also excluded for the same reasons

[Anonymous No.3585626]

Theres a class 1 Civilization on Pluto. They reclassed PLuto as a Dwarf Planet to cover it up.

Maybe life on there planet is diffrent,maybe they dont live by our rules.

A billion to one shot, when there is a billion galaxys each with billions of star systems? I like those odds

[Anonymous No.3585636]

>>3585581
maybe microbial life on titan.

i have my hopes up.

[Anonymous No.3585640]

>>3585634

not in our solar system son

[Anonymous No.3585643]

In our solar system? maybe. Some of the moons have compositions that might allow it.

Somewhere in the universe? Definitely

i find it impossible to believe we are alone.

[Anonymous No.3585645]

There's fossils on Mars, you can put money on that

[Anonymous No.3585649]

cant you guys see the universe mostly dead? alot of raw materials out there but no life whatsoever. going to have to realize we're the only planet that has been stable long enough to allow complex life (including microbes). Still maybe we can hope to find an amino acid on another planet or something...

[Xlore !!oIaXoksOFZm No.3585648]

>>3585640
I want your proof that there is no microbes on any piece of rock in our solar system, not your instincts.

We used to think nothing could live at the deepest parts of our oceans and we found tons of life.

[Xlore !!oIaXoksOFZm No.3585653]

>>3585649
If you understand the scope of the universe its impossible for you to think like that.

Especially since we exist.

[Anonymous No.3585657]

>>3585648
havent they found life growing in nuclear waste ?

Also isnt there life in the center of the earth and no I dont mean hollow earth people

[Anonymous No.3585659]

>>3585657
We have proof of microbial life very deep. But we've never examined below the crust, IIRC. Too deep.

[Anonymous No.3585662]

they have found microbes living in rocks under extreme pressure and heat, using the heat of the rocks to power themselves, there is life everywhere on this planet regardless of the conditions, i find it extremely hard to believe we are the anomaly.

[Anonymous No.3585668]

>>3585649

The Universe is about 13 billion years old and the Earth about 4.5 billion years, with trillions of star systems. To even think that life only formed once on 1 tiny rock in the universe is laughable.

The World you know has only been around for just over 100 years. There has to be another civilization out there about as old as ours, but its a lot more likely that they are thousands of years ahead of us, or thousands of years behind

[Anonymous No.3585680]

I am sure we will though soon.

All we really need to do is stick a big ass drill bit into a disused mine right ?>>3585668


>To even think that life only formed once on 1 tiny rock in the universe is laughable.

exactly

but do oyu think we will ever meet them in the next 50 years ?
I sort of think its possible,look how far we have come in the last 50 years.

[Anonymous No.3585695]

>>3585668
There doesn't have to be anything.

[Xlore !!oIaXoksOFZm No.3585708]

>>3585695
There's more logic and reason behind thinking there is a reason for there to be.

To think we are the only life in the whole universe is comparable to saying we could never fly in the late 1800's early 1900's

Life exists in so many weird places and the universe is so big allowing for so many possibilities. The odds are against there not being any life.

[Anonymous No.3585713]

even though we havent seen any other life from outerspace I think its stupid to think that there is not

[Anonymous No.3585740]

In our solar system?
Yes. Definitely.

Prove me wrong.

[Anonymous No.3585746]

>>3585740

No Water, No life

[Anonymous No.3585749]

>>3585708
I don't dispute the notion that some kind of life somewhere else in the entire universe is extremely probable.

What about liquid methane?

No.

We have some anecdotal evidence of humanoids moving on the lunar surface, even driving a car there. Other than that, we just don't know.

Meaning that life does not need solar energy to live.
The life deep down in Earth uses the energy from the core of the earth instead of solar energy.

tl;dr there can be a civilization underground that we don't even know of..

[Anonymous No.3585766]

Why do they keep landing in the mars deserts? wouldnt they find more science if they landed in a forest?

[Anonymous No.3585771]

life? yes. intelligent life? no.

When you say "we" and "ever" that's kind of vague. If by we you mean human beings and by ever you mean in like the next 2000 years or more, then i would change my second answer to maybe.

[Anonymous No.3585773]

>>3585746

New evidences show that there is indeed water on mars.
Read about Europa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_(moon)
Pluto is frozen....

You would have to be an idiot to think that Earth is the only planet in our solar system with water
