What do you think would happen in 5-10 years if we discover and announce microscopic life found on Europa and/or Ganymede?

Why does it have so many gigantic scrapes and lines through it?

There would be a push towards landing a probe, or possibly multiple probes, on the surface of the moon in question. They would target an area where it looks like organic material has been pushed to the surface.

Those are the oceans on Europa I think?

those were from the lasers during the major war against the bleeblorps and ayylmaos.

That would imply that the Great Firewall of life is still ahead of us and kills us all before we discover space travel. But who am I kidding, muslims and dirty Indians are already outbreeding smart people by billions and will eventually all starve because faith in Allah can't replace science.

What?

Also Indians are big into STEM and not religious fanatics, they're cool.

Get with the program, /pol/

The Fermi-paradox implies the existence of a Great Firewall that kills off most, if not all, intelligent life on a planet.

it implies that the probability of other life not existing is zero because the universe is infinity in size.

>> No.7203622

>>7203608
Not necessarily. As far as we know, the universe could just be bubble in indefinite nothingness and our physics are defined at the big bang. I've already wondered about that too, that no one from a parallel world came to us yet, but that could either imply that it's absolutely impossible to travel from one bubble to another or that we live in an universe that is not being visited from other multiverse species. Or perhaps the distances between two bubbles is just so great that no technology from other universes is capable of bridging them to come to our universe. Perhaps there aren't any other universes at all, and it has infinite circles.

You know there were discoveries that were made that were equally as interesting but than fade away from the public's mind.

No. Just imagine NASA announced that right now. What would change? Nothing.

The real prize is intelligent life. And that's not going to be found any time soon.

The universe has finite matter, and even if it didn't there is only a finite amount of matter within our lightcone that we can interact with. So no, you cannot claim that the probability of life not existing elsewhere is 0.

But isn't dark energy infinite?

Energy can become matter so theoretically matter is not finite?
