Another "Earth" Beyond Ours? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 90/100. MrKennedy (208)   ranked 153 out of 3,930 in thinker3 months ago

Do you believe the theory that there is another "Earth" similar to ours in the vast universe that surrounds this tiny planet?

Understandably, this alternate planet that possesses life similar to ours could be light-years away, and completely undiscoverable by any technology we (or even "they") have at this moment in time. I think it is an interesting topic to think about other living organisms who are not too different from us humans.

I for one believe in some form of life far beyond our galaxy. What's your opinion MyLotters?

So,scientifically speaking our Universe is a massive never ending black space which has a few pockets occupied by galaxies and galaxies are made of stars and solar system. The reason life exists here on earth is because it is at a perfect distance from the sun that helped lighter elements combine and form heavier molecules, like water. If we were a bit nearer, most of the water would have evaporated and if we were a bit farther off, it would have frozen. So technically speaking any planet which is at such a distance from its star that lighter elements can combine to form heavier elements and these heavier elements in turn combine to give essential molecules, life can exist on that place. I do believe that more than a few handfuls of the trillions of stars that exist, should have that temperature range on one of their planets. Finding them, however is another thing altogether, and without any concrete proof of their existence or non existence all we can do is speculate.

I must congratulate you on such an in-depth response. And I agree that all we are able to do for now is simply speculate on the existence of alternate life.

lol, Thanks. In-depth response came because I am a physics student and at one time they actually made us study all that.

I believe there is life on other planets, we know every creature has different way of life. To see if we're talking about is true then we must seek and find something. We certainly do not know that why the creatures living increasingly smaller. I think that's the revolution that led us to think, it might have been useful to this world is not full. Thus, living things that we never saw the possibility of being on the planet other than Earth to reduce the population density.

it can not be possible to exist only our planet with life. i believe that there are thousands of other planets with diferent cultures. the universe is unlimited.

I do believe that somewhere there is another earth-like planet that can support life. With a near infinite amount of worlds, it is highly likely that at least one other has life on it. I think that one of us will be able to develop technology that allows us to visit each other. We just need to hope that the other life forms are friendly.

Well it is possible, but if you consider the all the precision of the nature of our planet and it's position from a star that's just the right size to sustain life it's probably really rare. If we moved the earth a few millimeters in one direction life wouldn't be able to exist on earth. You also have to consider the source of life on our planet, is life just a phenomenon that naturally exists on our earth from unknown circumstances or does it come from an alien source carried by debris early in earths life. If another planet sustainable of life had the same source of life which we did i still would doubt they would be too similiar to us. What if life forms are just radically different on that other planet? they don't require the same criteria of life and structure their bodies are that different. there's just so much possiblity it makes you wonder.

I also believe that there is some form of life out there as well. The universe is actually infinite as in it has no ends. The chances of us being the only planet with only signs of life on it are so small it's probably like winning the lottery. There is a lot of proof out there that shows that there is life out there but there are also a lot of cover ups and arguments that can prove that there isn't. I think that this is definitely something interesting to think about because there are so many possibilities.

Nice Fallout picture by the way.:)

Like someone else said, I doubt if it would be exactly the same. Although as a big Doctor Who fan, I kind of like the idea of parallell universes, differenttimelines and all that!

Who knows, Sci fi might not be all that far off - maybe we write and talk about these things because in some way we know it really.

Or maybe its just the human longing for something beyond themselves, something 'more than this'.

Yes I believe there are more planets with living organisms who are very similar to us. We know there are more planets out in the galaxy and there are probably more than the one we know of. I think these living beings are more than likely wondering about us too.
