Is there life outside earth?
You might have thought about this many times. I have. I’m strong believer that life exists outside of Earth too. It may even be various forms of life and in various planets and stars. We know ‘nothing to little’ to even state that no life exists outside earth. When I say ‘we’, I don’t refer to you and me alone, I refer to all the scientists as well. Well, this post is not to prove that there is life outside earth. I can’t do that as well with my knowledge of science and my lazy refusal to research for facts. This post is just about the fact that planet earth is a tiny dot in the space. That shows how much we don’t know. How much is still there to know.
This is our solar system. See how earth compares in size with other planets and Sun. Earth is a tiny dot already now. You can see how much unknown is there.
And now, this image compares Sun with the Canis Majoris, the largest known star. We just saw above that Earth is a just a pixel in comparison to Sun. In the below picture see how our Sun is reduced to dot when compared to Canis Majoris. When you see these pictures, don’t just look at the pictures. Just close your eyes and visualise and try to travel to space to see how they look. Unbelievable, isn’t it?
Check out this website. There are no texts to read. Just a slideshow of images. It starts with the comparison on Earth and moon and shows who’s the boss there. And then slowly it keeps adding planets to the same image so we can compare the sizes. Then slowly, we start adding stars from outside milkyway as well and finally end it with the comparison with the largest star known so far. Check it for yourselves.
Now tell me, do you think there would be life outside of earth? So this nicely leads us to the new feature in this blog

Do you know that NASA has launched the Kepler mission which trying to find planets where life is possible?
I thought Kepler mission is only about planets and stars. Does the project objectives also include ‘life search’ as well? That’s news!
That aside, what do you think? Is there life outside earth?
Vj,
I strongly believe life exists outside earth. Infact may be much more talented intellectual beings are outside. Whatever may be our inventions I would say we might still be very primitive and our equipments may be way old for someone else. Atleast we can be happy that we are also inventing.
I love the movie ‘Star Wars’ just for the same reason. Unbelievable imagination as people take their vehicles from one planet to another just like they go to another street. There are sequences where presidents of various planets attend a Parliament session of the entire galaxy! No wonder the star wars series still taking most positions in IMDB ratings. The creatures in the movie may be ugly. I believe that’s how we are already in the eyes of dogs and cats.
There cannot be Miss.World & Miss.Universe. We crown ourselves as if there is no other living being in this World or Universe! We as Humans believe that the World is within us and end up in trivial things. That’s the reason we have unnecessary chaos in the life a Human leads on earth. Imagine something like in the movie ‘Independence Day’ happens? That’s the end of road for all social evils like terrorism, war for oil, murders, thefts, eve teasing, rapes….etc., etc., (Oof the list goes on & on)
No wonder we may be even treated as insects in someone Else’s planet. We as such I say the entire Universe! 50,000 feet above we certainly are insects even in our own eyes.
No harm! Humans can talk with each other sharing their opinions whether there is life outside or not? But we are so little to conclude the topic. Infact noone can conclude this topic!
I’ve always believed in the existence of extra terrestrial life, simply because such a thing called ‘life’ exists.
so far we are the most unique planet to house fleshly inhabitants.
a belief in Other lifeforms precludes god. God made one earth and all the rest is decoration so to speak.
I dont believe in life on other planets, well significant life anyway, i dont really care if microscopic thingies live in a teeny bit of matter. God (christ) has a work to do here, i do not believe he is divided as to be working with 2 or a bunch of different worlds full of humanoid lifeforms, because christ only can make use of humans in flesh. Flesh is important to finding god because it is so opposite to god therefore god would never create, who created all, an alternate form of life to obtain the rewards he has planned for us. So ifi its big eyed, slender, scaley reptilians, or ether floating brains hehe, or a shapeshifting whatever, god didnt make it, so it dont exist. Its not part of his plan, man. :0)
John Karnes. You’re retarded.
i totally agree with John karnes
“so far we are the most unique planet to house fleshly inhabitants.”
We have not even touched the shore of the universe, we haven’t stepped beyond the moon, how can we come to such conclusions considering the vastness of space?
“a belief in Other lifeforms precludes god.”
No it does not.
“God made one earth and all the rest is decoration so to speak.”
You are not god, nor do you know the mind of god. If god wanted to just make decorations, he could have just stuck a bunch of lamps in the night sky instead of creating such an enormous space with galaxies and planets much like our own.
i dont think there is life outside earth.Well if you say so, then why should astronauts ues oxygens outside the earth?
That’s because LIFE does not always need OXYGEN in order to survive!
i.e. microorganism like anaerobic bacteria survive without oxygen, in the opposite, they won’t survive if they get oxygen as it’s poisonous!! : )
i do think that aliens exsist,but the chances that we meet are very very very small
Is there life outside of earth? I love Twilight.
I’m not sure if there is life, but I totally think it would be like so awesome if there was!! I love science & would love to meet an alien!!
There is life outside of earth because NASA proved it. They said on the newpaper and the fancy folks T.V. that there are aliens. They will destroy you for not believeing.
hi bye
Space is so unbelievably big that it is a ridiculous idea to conclude that we should be the sole example of developed life forms in existance.
For example, if there is life surrounding only 1 in every 500 billion stars, then there will be over 200 million civilisations out there!
Anyway who thinks that of the trillions of planets across the universe we are the only life forms seriously needs to put themselves into perspective…
I believe their is life everywere if you think about it. Science have discovered many chemicals and thousands of cells and organisms in recent years. Not all of them are alive either. Our Galaxy and other universes are created by so much matter. I bet there are even materials that humans have not been discovered. Scientists always have very interesting conclusions about the formations of our home planet earth. But what do we no.
I want to meet an Alien =]
