Consciousness. They are not even close.

Why is there order to the universe or perhaps more importantly why does life exist. The universe would be just as happy without life or existence.

How do you know that? Maybe life is all the universe has craved since the big bang.

Science still cannot explain exactly how the climate works in regards to its chaos theory, but they seem to think they know it inside out. Lazy computer models again, they need to go back and use the brain instead of inputting garbage in whilst receiving garbage out.

How can Salmon come in from the Atlantic Ocean and find its way miles up the tiny little stream it was born on..

Also, how come we can make crazy things like USB Memory sticks, CDs, Spaceships that can make it to Mars, bit no cure for cancer?

Just a singularity, but where did that come from ? and if it came from something else, where did this something else come from and so-forth.

An example... where did this weed come from that I have ? well it came from a plant, where did the plant come from ? the field. Where did the field come from ? the earth. Where did the earth come from ? a combination of asteroids and space-rock focused in a space of gravity to form a robust round sphere. Where did the sphere come from ? already mentioned.

Where did this singularity come from ? and maybe it came from many singularities imploding for ever.

There are 11 dimensions.

We live in the 3rd dimension.

In the 4th dimension you can see your past and future self.

In the 5th dimension you can see your past and future self and every result of every decision you've ever made.

There are 6 more dimensions above this.

Mind bending stuff.

There's dozens of cancers. Some are curable, some are preventable, some are treatable and some are incurable.

Let me just clarify this comment above...

There is a 'theory' that 11 dimensions exist. Big difference than saying that they do exist without solid scientific hard proof ?.

Even the most proficient scientists are stuck in quantum entanglement.

Meh... give them time.

Also "theory" and "laws" often have the same importance depending on context.

The main difference is only that a law is backed up by a simple mathematical formula.

"A law tells you WHAT happens to something. It won't really be proven wrong. (An example is Newton's Law of Gravity; if something is dropped in a place with gravity, it falls.)

A theory tells you WHY something happens to something. It is not really disputed, but it has the potential to be proven wrong. It's like a summary of the results of many, many tested hypotheses."

It's still just a theory in regards to the human mind-thought... if I have a theory that there is a translucent civilisation out there that cannot be observed by the human species and its technology' does this exist in some way ? I can make theories and a scientist can make the math in regards to said theory and it will fit in some way, but it's just a theory.

11 dimensions. Does a fish understand the dimension of up ? for all we know there could be 1 trillion dimensions, but we do need a bit more proof as to how and where these so-called 11 dimensions come from in our thought of theory.

Philosophy and good healthy thinking brings up amazing things. Some-one once said that if you can think of it, then it exists. Everything we can think of can exist they say, so maybe there is 10 trillion dimensions around us now and interacting in some way now and again, anomalies as we call them might be another dimension interacting with ours.

A dimension of our past even 1 minute ago could be interacting with us 1 minute later but we just don't see it with our limited peripheral vision on a frequency our brains cannot see or measure. Maybe the answer to everything is right in front of us, but we just don't have the tools in our brains to picture it. Maybe we are blind in an other way.

Trippy stuff this is.

All this is true.

If it can happen then it has happened , theoretically somewhere in some dimension.

It is crazy stuff, and it's the stuff you have to be exposed to daily to actually understand it. I remember a scientist saying that it would be an eternal shame if the human brain was biologicaly incapable of comprehending the enormity and complexity of the multiverse.

It opens up the debate that if anything can exist, then can some form of God exist.

Bongalongherb

Most definitely interesting for sure, I ponder on it all the time, but it's complexity is mind-boggling. Beautiful though.

Out of all the billlions and trillions of planets/ stars etc why they still bang on about the "Goldilocks" planet.

Whos to say Alien species don't breathe sulphuric acid and **** radioactivity to stay alive ? Why is it we assume they have to be close to ourselves. Just because the laws of physics means something here maybe it doesnt mean **** somewhere else,

I'd really like an answer to this one.

They can't rule it out but we know what conditions are ok for life and what conditions will kill it. We know that life can exist on a planet like ours so they focus on planets like ours. Even on this planet animals have adapted fo certain conditions.

-=al=-

Well, we understand what we're made up of here and what makes us tick, so finding something elsewhere similar to this little planet might warrant similar results to us. We're just an example of life and water is a good indicator of that spark of life.

There was Methane-eating microbes found a few years ago that survived by producing and breathing its own oxygen.

Methane breathing suplhuric acid pooping aliens?

Heckler

But whos to say our conditions for life are the only ones ? Why is that assummd ?

Heckler

I have my doubts if we were ever visited but I think its a huge arrogance to think out of all the vastness of the universe that we are the only intelligent life. The alternative to me is scary.

Up until a few years ago it was assumed all food webs were based on light- primary production via photosynthesis was the first step.
Then they found hydrothermal vents, where primary production is via chemosynthesis.
There's a lot we don't know all right!

And even on this planet where life did start it seems it did so only once. All life on earth from bacteria to redwoods are related. There are no "aliens" here. So until we find life elsewhere, if we find it, then it's at best measured conjecture as to how life kicks off, or what might be out there.

First we are pretty sure the same laws of physics apply to the observable universe. The nuclear reactors of Oklo provide hard evidence that lots of physical constants haven't changed in billions of years. And then there's our observations of the cosmos. Billions more years that don't need a time dependent change in the laws of physics.


As to breathing, that's just simple chemistry. For an organism to do stuff, it needs energy and only chemical reactions with an energy difference can supply it. From across space ET could see that our planet has an oxygen rich atmosphere, and that's interesting because oxygen is very reactive* and most things that don't burn are already oxides. They'd also see methane in our atmosphere and that would be very interesting because methane and oxygen react so there shouldn't much methane unless it's being replaced.


Only this week we sent a probe to Mars to look at methane levels, because it's an energetic compound.

*about 3% of Global GDP is spent fighting corrosion ,pretty much all of our planet is covered by things that have completely reacted by oxygen , apart from a very thin veneer of life and it's remains.

Most of those things listed are more philosophy than science, even then we have good scientific understanding of many things like social behavior (simple example is marketing products or classes in society) and........logic.........which is what science applies to pretty much everything it's used to look at and examine?

Eh? I don't think we have a "scientific" understanding of society and its problems -just a load of blah from Durkheim & co.

I'm no scientist but I thought science assumes logic rather than explains it.

Science doesn't explain why human logic gives us the ability to actually comprehend how the world works.

Read recently that scientists still can't explain why looking up at light can cause us to sneeze sometimes.
