NASA Confirms CO2 On Distant Planet, Life To Be Found?

The math says there's life on other planet. Us being the only life in the universe is absurd!

Agreed, and I agree with CRedskins. Communication is difficult

And aliens have seemingly moved on from black and white tv's, making it even more difficult (http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/09/29/finding-et-harder-aliens-digital/)

Fortunately, we've already got an ambassador (http://topnews.us/content/226960-mazlan-othman-can-be-appointed-chief-alien-ambassador) lined up for peaceful discussions.

Maybe there is an unlimited resource of oil.

By the time we create the technology to get us there I certainly hope we don't care about oil as an energy source.

if a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound?

if a person lives on a planet 300 light years from earth, does it matter to us?

It does if they can travel at the speed of light and kick our ass.

Maybe we'll invent the combustible engine warp drive and use all our oil in one shot trying to get there. Hopefully they have a gas station where we can fill up to get home. Otherwise we're screwed.

I disagree with the possible appointment. I feel that the ambassador of Earth should be American considering that by the time we get there Earth will be United Planet of Americuh. The only other country will be Israel due to the large population of Jews in Hollywood that are controlling the hearts and minds of American's through television.

it still takes them a couple hundred years to get here, so IF they show up, I think technological edge will go to them regardless.

if a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound

There are two schools of thought on the subject. On one hand you have Spinoza, the greatest man whoever lived, who postulates that the laws that determines the fall of a tree and the sound it make exist whether they are perceived or not. That is to say "ideas and laws are more permanent and therefore more real than senses perceived particular things."

On the other hand you have Berkeley who postulates that "objects of sense exist only when they are perceived." That is to say if no one is there to hear the tree fall the tree does not make a sound because it doesn't even exist.

I tend to favor the school of Spinoza.

Yes because knowledge is power.

I would say if there's a person living anywhere other than earth, that's big F'ing news
