So, The Universe is estimated to be 13 billion years old possibly…(unless your christian ig, then the universe is like much younger.). and, through looking into space, we have possible discovered 1 or 2 more planets or so that through a telescope look similar to earth, and so the likely hood of another planet capable of sustaining life seems to be positive. So, currently evidence seems to support the idea of life on other planets. Which in a universe as massive as ours seems logical. we have trillions of stars in our universe many with planets orbiting. (so, if your against the idea of life on other planets this question is not for you.) so yea i was thinking….
Since, the universe has possibly existed for many years….so, narrowing it to our galaxy and its 9 or 8 planets (depending on how you feel towards the status of Pluto)… im wondering.
could it be possible that life could of existed within our galaxy? before or maybe even during the existence span of the human race? Like i know since forever humans and scientist have had a facination with Mars. and ever since we’ve had the technology we’ve sent many things to Mars to explore it. we even have a Manned mission to Mars in the early planning periods. this will take awhile i mean not even getting into space happened overnight it took many years of planning and innovations. but, yea through our satelites, probes, and robots we’ve sent there we found possible evidence of water once existing there and micro organisms.
so, maybe, Mars was once like earth, capable of sustaining life, maybe an intelligient life once existed on the planet. we just haven’t found it, due to many factors, such as Mars kinda has a violent atmosphere, terrible winds. and what if mars is this way because what once lived on mars did something that destroyed the atmosphere or used up its resources…or a terrible war broke out?
now moving away from Mars, what if throughout the ages, other planets arounds had life come an go. like what if at one point Venus’s atmosphere wasn’t as acidic? or maybe one of the moons had a colony or civilations? i mean if we exist then who can really say life didn’t exist before us, or after us even within our own galaxy, hell we could of over looks something and maybe theres still some one there. maybe not entire civilizations, but, small pockets of things that we failed to detect? …second nowadays people think they know everything…but, what if science is wrong and other organisms don’t need to be in the same conditions as us to live. i mean science gets proven and disproven all the time.
Plus, theres possible, but debatable evidence that throughout history aliens have been flying through our skies, and some even interacting….maybe this is all bs….cause my god im sure ancient civilazations don’t know anything, along with people currently living. but, as i said all this is questionable, but, maybe another civilization did visit us? maybe they ended up destroying themselves which could explain why their not there now…but, who knows maybe someones still out there maybe i shyer race, maybe humanesque or somethingesque. i mean amino acids (the building blocks of life) have been found in space and objects fallen from space…meteors and such. and some debate this is how life was brought to earth so maybe life was taken else where..maybe even a planet closer than we may think….it just didn’t last as long or maybe it lasted longer, just some catastrophic event ended their existence.
So yea, what are your thoughts on other life forms existing in out solar system? or maybe life that has come or gone in our solar system? i mean is it insane for a person to think like this?
