My favorite word has to be either neat, prosperous or blue. If I have to choose between them, it's probably blue. It's soft to say and was the first english word I learned.
And definitely Tesla. Theoretical physics change and get proven wrong all the time. Or, well, it actually depends. So you mean on a more "earthly" level (as in gravity and other "basic" stuff) or more on an atomical level (is that the english word idk)

Also, considering our universe is supposedly endless, there should be at least a million different alien life forces in the universe. Like, what's the mathemathical chance that earth is the only planet with the necessary elements and sun-proximity (*my heart will go on on a flute playing softly in the background bc my eNGLISH*) in a theoretically endless world? It's impossible for aliens to not exist. (also sorry for the link i just Googles something and skimmed the text real Quick it's actually something my professor told me )

My friend's first word was 'light'. I believe that describes his personality perfectly. Meanwhile, my other friend's first word was 'fuck'. She grew up in a bad home :(

Aw, I'm so sorry to hear that :(

And that probably sounds sarcastic but it wasn't I promise :/

Nothing can be impossible, mathematically or otherwise. For starters. However- within the scope of math as we understand it- all things so far out of probability exist in supposition. They are both true and not true at once. On an infinite line there is both a 100% chance and a 0% chance of finding any given probability. It becomes a zero sum game where the less information and the farther out the proposition, the greater the odds that it will both exist and not exist become. Using math to calculate the odds of there being alien life, we must make assumptions. Based on those assumptions we can declare any probability we want that life does or does not exist simply by modifying the formula. We only have 1 sample in the vast cosmos to base any assumptions on how or where life may exist. But we do not understand the process by which life is made, nor the prevalence of these materials and conditions in the universe. So while it isn’t foolish to assume that the sheer vastness of space....

Are you typing?

... can contain life asides our own, or identical to our own, and it isn’t foolish to assume that if life has occurred in one place once, that it is possible to occur in another place as well... it is foolish to assume that because life exists in one place once, and because the universe is vast and we know little of it, that life does exist somewhere else. We exist in that supposition, where it is possible, but not guaranteed. We also do not know what the prevalence of occurrence for life in the universe is. We only have 1 data point remember? Can we say that 1/1billion, 1/1googleplex worlds like ours will support life? We can’t. Not until we find life and can get an average of how often it might occur beyond Earth. Or perhaps we have found it and don’t recognize it as life? Perhaps every earth like world will 100% have life, but by the speed of evolution and technology no two alien species will ever exist at the same time in all of space?

All possible, we simply don’t know enough to even give a good guess to probability. Especially considering we still discover new species on Earth regularly enough and they’ve been here millions or more years right along with us and we never noticed them standing next to us. A more accurate title would be the less salacious: “It is mathematically possible for aliens to exist.” This is a verifiable fact. By virtue of reality as humans can understand it- nothing can ever be proved impossible. It goes against the entire scientific method. Improbable, never impossible.

@freudiandip Lol. Sorry. All done.

That is a compelling argument, though I once again have to disagree. This time it's just because I like aliens, but I have no factual counter argument. I'll read more on the subject and return ...

Also don't apologize! In less than three scrolls you manager to completely disparage my entire argument. I'm impressed.

*managed

Lol. Not my intent. Just trying to be accurate. I don’t disagree that it’s very likely alien life exists, did exist, or could exist in the future, or any combination of the three. I personally believe there are aliens out there somewhere. The line I wanted to draw was between belief and fact, possibility and proof. Much like the argument over wether a higher power exists: it is impossible to prove anything does not exist, or that a thing can never exist at some point in time. Some things we do not have enough data to consider what we have as meeting the burden of scientific proof. However.. in all the infinite possibilities of this world, where data can neither sufficient support or refute a thing to a degree we can assign it any real probability for or against- all we have is belief. That belief is what made airplanes and computers a reality. People who believe donamazing things that people who do not never could. So long as belief is healthy, it doesn’t need proof, just vision.

Personally I too believe in aliens, but as @guest_ so lengthily pointed out we can't be definitive about anything. I have a degree in theoretical physics and I can't tell you how many things we had to be wrong about just to get one thing right. But imagining other life and being curious is great! :)

cellar door.

@guest_ some things are impossible. An inside-out human still with functioning organs = impossible.

also @guest_ look up the blood rain that occurred over.... was it India? Israel? idk... anyway... we've probably already discovered alien life.

@freudiandip, thank you. I wish I could say she is doing better but lying is wrong :(

I neither believe not disbelieve in any major revelation/reality factual. (Like the alien one) There can be no certainty until proof is provided, and while supposition based on a human concept of mathematics and probability is not inherantly wrong, it is definitely faulty in many occasions. We should always keep in mind that reality is within our perception. We are filtering existance into understandable terms. As the case with mathematics, we put existance on a line of our perception, and place it into the mathematica using a theoretical logic. In the end, there could be a zero probability and still something could be out there. We are limited beings, and our theories and probabilities are inaccurate when trying to apply our own narrow comprehension to the enormity of the universe and existance.
