Is there lift outside earth
The possibility that life may exist on other planets is something which has long fascinated the world and managed to bring together groups of individuals that would otherwise never even think of intermingling. From scientific researchers to crackpot conspiracy theorists there are so many theories out there that center on the possibility of life on Earth that many people devote their lives to proving or disproving the theory. There seems to be one common thread for all of these diverse groups of people; however, where some may believe that life on other planets consists of little green men and others believe that life on other planets consists of human like beings, the common thread for each of these groups is the presence of intelligent life forms on a planet other than Earth.
Is There Life On Other Planets?
Ask most people across the world and they will tell you that they believe in the possibility of life on another planet and they will generally clarify themselves so as not to appear as a “crackpot” that the life on other planets does not have to be “aliens.” There are others who will openly admit to a belief in alien life forms and they will even share with you stories of alien abduction. While everyone’s understanding of life outside Earth varies nine out of every ten people will admit to believing in some other life force outside of our planet. For many people this belief tends to stem from science fiction but for others this belief in alien life forms comes from a desperate hope that humans cannot possibly be the most intelligent life form in the universe. Pointing to the signs of destruction all over the planet and pointing out how quickly the human race is destroying the one and only planet they can survive on to date, people tend to panic. How can the most intelligent life force in the universe be destroying the one planet which is able to sustain it? For this reason many people believe that there must be a more intelligent life force across the universe somewhere. So what do you think? Is there life on other planets?
Finding Proof of Extraterrestrial Life
Despite NASA missions in to space, landing on the moon and sending satellites and vehicles up to other planets scientists have yet to be able to offer any proof of life on other planets. The point of contention; however, comes when the basis of life on other planets is based around the basic human needs for life to be sustained. Who is to say that oxygen levels are what it takes to allow survival of alien life forms? Who is to say that alien life forms thrive in similar temperatures to Earth? Who is to say that what is inhospitable to us is also inhospitable to alien life forms. After all isn’t the very definition of something “alien”, something that is different from our own? Still scientists, astronomers, physicists and even geologists scan the planets looking for traces of life based on what we know as a race, based on our basic needs and our requirements for survival.
What Types of Conditions Would Extraterrestrial Life Require?
Assuming that alien life forms do require similar conditions to humans to exist and sustain life on a planet there is no chance that they would be able to live on any of the planets within the Milky Way Galaxy. Within the Milky Way Galaxy are the planets that most children learn while they are in school, although the actual planets seem to be expendable, at least in the case of Pluto. The planets within our solar system as most of the current generation learned them include: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (now recognized not as a planet but as a dwarf planet.) Life forms that have the same requirements as the human race are unable to sustain themselves on any of the above listed planets with the exception of Earth.
