Aliens


Ever thought about other planets and aliens?
Many people ignore the possibility of other civilizations in outer space. Mostly because they are a bit narrow minded, maybe because they have not learned enough.

But, isn't it really interesting?

Do you know that our solar system is in a galaxy?
Do you know that in our galaxy there are different solar systems?
Do you know that we can see about 10.000 galaxies from 0,000020% of ONE constellation?

And what is a constellation?
From what I understand, astronomers divide our sky (with lines -paths- , roadlike lines) into different pieces (Like a map with countries and roads). Each of these pieces on the map (countries with roads) are called constellations. So there are 88 constellations on the sky's map that astronomers have made. The roads are patterns of stars. These have different shapes, for example: triangle or animal shapes. Each road or pattern of stars, has a start and an end (So, it has borders, ends).

So we can count 10.000 galaxies... on only 0,000020% of only one constellation. It is not even 0,1% of the constellation. How many galaxies would there be if you take the whole 100% piece of this constellation? It would be like counting... How many houses are in one city or a whole country?

Start thinking; how many solar systems would there be within each of those galaxies?

And we can't even see that far yet... astronomers believe from what they have learned that we can count 125 billion galaxies...

But the universe doesn't even have an end... So it is more...

Astronomers have discovered super earth like planets. That means planets with water, etc etc.
They can also tell the age of these planets. Many of them are older than planet earth.
So if they are so similar, they can sustain life, like in our planet, of course :)

So, if these planets are older, they could sustain life, but being older planets, their civilizations would be more advanced (More time and more experience).

There are billion of planets like our planet earth. But ok, if we don't know anything (Because we can't know with the little knowledge we have) how can we not believe that there is life? At least we cannot leave out the possibility that there are planets sustaining life. It would be just silly if we didn't.

If you are super intelligent, you should start questioning yourself, why have you been so silly all these years, thinking that it is only "us" in the universe :)

Our galaxy, the Milky Way, has at least 120 billion earthlike planets. Yes, only our galaxy.
There are about 100 billion sunlike stars in our Milky Way.
So if there are at least 125 billion galaxies, and each galaxy (from 125 billion galaxies) has 2 billion Earthlike planets... What do you think?

So how usual can life in the universe be? If there has been life before, are there records? Like bones, fossils or I don't know... Anything?
