There may be millions of habitable planets in our galaxy

While astronomy is improving by leaps and bounds. it's difficulties are considerable.

So while this new estimate is heartening, and a big improvement, it also reminds us of how far we have to go before we can produce definitive data.

Nonetheless, based on the new numbers, you would expect to find a habitable planet within 20 light years, on average. If you follow this sort of thing, you already know we aren't in one of the nicer neighborhoods.

Anyway, here's the video:

 

We are actually in the back woods of the galaxy. Really no reason for anyone to come out this way. I'm sure there is all kinds of interesting stuff near the center.

 

How many Suns are in our galaxy?
Where ever there is a star giving off heat, light, energy, there is a statistical possibility that life near that star will exist.

 

Yep and wherever there are more suns means more chance for life. There are very few around us.

 

Hold on, hold on, what? WHAT?

You are agreeing with something I posted. Did tRUMP just get declared the winner of 2020 election? Hell freeze over?

 

No, I stated a fact, you are irrelevant to that fact

 

Yes, but that is new, is it not?

 

Probably not.

 

No sense thinking about planets around other suns until we get warp drive like in Star Trek. Not even Elon Musk can do that. And what if there's life already there can we just take it over?

 

we would try I am sure, it's what we do as a species. We are extremely destructive.

It wouldn't surprise me if other species have already discovered us and quarantined this part of space due to the danger of us getting out.

 

I have never seen facts in your posts before.

In fact, I seen a post in another thread where you claim god only talks to christians.
Despite the FACT, god spoke to only jewish folks that wrote the OT. God spoke to Mohammid of the Arab group. The kin folk to the Jews. From Abrahams off spring.

So god has spoken to many different ethnics and religions. Not just christians.

 

Just telling you what the Bible says, I didn't write it.

Argue with God.

 

I have never seen the bible say god only speaks to christians. Got a passage?

 

Yes. Physics says we're screwed when our sun comes out and fries Earth.

But, surely the questions surrounding the existence of life in other places in our universe is one of the most fundamental questions of our universe.

Trying to emulate Sci Fi by flying humans around space is a totally separate issue.

 

When you think about it, all the talk about sustainable this, and renewable that, becomes a moot point in the grand scheme of things.

 

Our best and I believe only hope to survive as a species would be very large cities in space capable of living beyond the reaches of the sun when it reaches red giant stage. They would have to be powered by nuclear fission or preferably fusion of course.

 

Jeremiah 14:11

 

I don't think we've discovered the power source we will use. I would guess we've hardly scratched the surface of what's possible to create.

 

You're right we've got 5 billion years or so to work it out.

 

We're getting there. We can make a liquid that exhibits properties of having negative mass (and may actually have negative mass- further testing underway), the missing ingredient required for the Alcubierre warp drive.

 

It'll come in handy when we send a colony ship 30 years to a new world.

 

Even if you had a free unlimited energy source with any kind of propulsion system we have now it would take generations to reach nearby stars in our galaxy. That's why you'd need a city sized ship.

 

1. How does that prove your claim? There was no such thing as Christian at that time.
2. You said recently, Christians don't follow OT. Jeremiah is OT.

 

OK.

But, let's remember that we have 5,000,000,000 years until then.

And, the damage we do today is being felt by the very next generation.

I don't see any possible moral foundation for us adding misery to the lives of the hundreds of millions of generations of humans to come... or even just our kids and grandkids.
