Hint: Use things like logic, the speed of light and individuality when you think about what you’re saying. If you’re honest with yourself you’ll eliminate saying things that are not possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty clear if you read the entire post that I know proper usage. Obviously I don’t recall every keystroke I make but I can assure you I did not type that apostrophe. Feel free to keep scouring because I may miss something else or possibly even make a mistake. It’s still unclear if you’re even willing to try to think for yourself.

Nothing else in your posts interests me. The idea of extraterrestrial life is such a touchy, offensive subject for you, it's not worth anyone's time to converse with you in this thread. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would it be? Silly? Sure; because if someone uses critical thinking they could at the very least have a more informed conversation and we’d talk a lot less about non existent things. There are so many interesting topics to be discussed about the cosmos. But offensive? Not at all. If I ever implied you’ve offended me I either worded something poorly or you misinterpreted what I wrote. I’ve not been offended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Thought provoking article that discusses various takes on the Fermi Paradox, including how mainstream thought about such things has changed over time: https://www.space.com/25325-fermi-paradox.html#section-what-could-the-answer-be Pretty much everybody mentioned in the article WANTS to believe that we are not alone, so they continue to make the fundamental but totally unproven assumption that if you just have the right mix of atmosphere, temperature, materials (e.g., carbon and water), pressure, etc., life will magically form. So why can't we make that happen in the lab here on earth? That's a weakness in all the proposed explanations for the Fermi Paradox by educated people who WANT to conclude that we are not alone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you that I’m not emotional. For Pete’s sake math is about as unemotional as it gets and all I asked is that you think things through.

Math should be unemotional. It should be. I agree. So practice what you preach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really need to get a grip on the math thing based upon nothing but wild assumptions without a whit of actual knowledge. Explain dark matter to me, then tell me about math. You will be the first. Hard to prove there is something else out there. FAR harder to prove there is not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4merper4mer Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Quiz: Why is there almost certainly no life of any kind in elliptical galaxies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because our galaxy, the Milky Way, is a spiral galaxy, not an elliptical galaxy, and earthlings have no evidence that life exists elsewhere in the universe. 2. For those who don't accept #1 as a sufficient answer, see the discussion of "sterilization" radiation effects in elliptical galaxies at: https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/494/2/3048/5819448 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
