I'm no expert on this, but are we not too focused on finding signs of life based on Earth's standards? I mean we kept looking for water, but what if that is not required for living creatures in some other planet? we kept looking for planets with the same temperature to Earth, but what if some other living creature can only live in temperature of -100 degree celcius?
Look into silicon life forms but bacteria. Also something like next generation AI which previous generations were biological but evolved for whatever reasons
You're making a fair and often discussed point however scientists choose to look at Earth-like planets because we know from experience that these planets can sustain life. All the other planets are a shot in the dark with the hope that something sticks. Whereas we have an idea what kind of shape life would take on Earth-like planets.
I think most experts agree with this but the only archetype of life we know how to look for is carbon based life that relies on liquid water. There are reasons based on organic and inorganic chemistry to believe that this form of life would be the type that would be most common (if life itself exists elsewhere). For example, there is far more hydrogen, oxygen and carbon (the building blocks of our form of life) in the universe than there are heavier elements. Other forms of life (such as silicon based life) have been theorized but it’s much harder to guess what to look for, and since the requisite ingredients are far rarer it’s harder to find them.
We can only know what life is based off what we know, which is how life is on Earth. Very well may be possible that non water based life does exist, scientists are probably putting more effort to look for what we can already recognize so we know where to look.
Nobody knows what it takes to sustain life. We evolved over 3 billion years in this exact environment. life could well be prolific in environments we never imagined. The universe is very creative.
yes, but we have only observed live in a planet like ours so although it has been theorized that life could exist in greatly environments different from earth (silicon life), we don't know exactly what to look for so it's safer to look at planeta that are similar to earth since we know such environments gave way to life, also elements loke oxygen , hydrogen and carbon are far more common than any other heavy elements so there's a lot more planets with the same elements as earth
You do realize life happened One Time over four and a half billion years ago on Earth and we are all cousins of that one and only instance. You pretending life is easy when it only ever happened once it's hilarious.
that's somthing that has recently intrigued me. if there is other life in our solar system I think it is most likely microscopic and living near vents in the seafloor on moons
@@kevinkey5270 we have no idea if it happened once or if the life that led to all modern day life forms is either superior during a direct competition or simply lasted longer than any other forms of life that existed.
I can imagine finding signs of extraterrestrial life becoming almost commonplace in the coming decades/centuries. Once humanity understands what to look for, even finding distant alien civilizations may be a not so uncommon event in the distant future. However, with the almost unfathomable distances involved, I can also imagine humanity quickly losing interest in something they will personally never be able to experience themselves.
The contact with ET life represents our major enigma at this time. I welcome you to watch a couple of videos I have done to spread some awareness on the UFO/ UAP phenomenon. Et bed talks
@@morbidmanmusicI always thought there were other life forms in this vast universe, with its trillions of galaxies, but then I read your comment and was like…whoa! Never heard it out that way before. That settles it for me.
@@morbidmanmusic people who say we are alone think humans are special in any way. Simply consider the size and age of the universe, how insignificant we are in comparison to cosmic scales, and accept that humanity is not special in any way shape or form. We are not unique and we are not special, and we are tiny af, we are likely not the only ones.
@@geoffreybaigon7789 Islam thinks there are aliens but its not reliable because it is based on hadiths. There are also thing about sun and moon swimming in an orbit that is described in the book.

It is far greater than you can now comprehend. The extent of its relationships are far greater than you can imagine, for reality is always greater than imagination. You are a citizen of a greater physical universe. This not only acknowledges your lineage and your heritage but also your purpose in life at this time, for the world of humanity is growing into the life of the Greater Community of Worlds. Today, upon the hour, affirm your citizenship in [this greater community] for this affirms a greater life that you are now beginning to discover...

In order to find Alien Life, we have to give a clear definition of LIFE. What is LIFE? I don't think Alien needs Oxygen or water. They may feed on radioactive elements, etc.
My uneducated opinion: Life is any sort system capable of interacting with the environment in order to create more of itself. Either in size or iterations. Once you think of life as a general system that perpetuates itself, it’s easier to open your mind as to what living is.
A Trillion galaxies. We began believing that the key was finding planets in the habitable zone of its host star. But the real key might actually be, just finding the water. ( as wherever there is water on Earth there is life) And since there are multiple moons in our solar system with liquid oceans beneath their icy crust, it might be that life could exist more frequently in aquatic worlds than in terrestrial worlds, and the habitable zone might not have anything to do with it if the host planet is large enough to tug on its moons enough to create liquid water on a moon. Europa should be our first Habitat after Mars.
Imagine a civilization with Einstein level i.q but not enough metals on your planet to advance technologically. In others words intelligence doesn't always go hand in hand with technological advancement
Whales are supposed to be smart, but they have no hands and can't use fire. Same for octopi. Elephants might have a chance, but being a herbivore means you have less motivation to solve problems, since your food doesn't run away.
I like to think that science always find its ways. If not metals, which seems improbable due to what we know about planets and stars chemical composition, there could be other "materials" that we don't even know. Anyway, metals is a very broad definition. I guess that if you have Einsteins, you probably also have physics laws, and "materials" affected by those laws.
The real reason why we still have not found any Alien life is because we still don't know what are we looking for and how to look for it. In other words, we have not yet evolved enough to truly comprehend what is around us, despite the common belief. We expect to find alien life that mimics the one in the planet earth because we believe that life can only form on the condition found in our planet. We couldn't possibly be anymore wrong. There is a possibility other life forms are all around us, we just have no means to see our understand it because we are not build or evolved enough for such thing. The same way an Ant colony does not understand that their nest is build just in the house corner of life forms that are far far superior to them, called Humans. Our mistake is that we believe we are the pinnacle of intelligence, and on the grand scale of things that's just halirious, considering we have barely stepped on the Moon, which is just on our doorstep.
it's not the we believe live can only exist on a planet like earth but more so that we know for sure that it can so it's safer to look at planets similar to earth, it has been theorized that live can exist on planets that normally aren't considered habitable but we don't know for sire and we don't know how life there would look so looking for life there would be a shot in the dark
Yes. Exactly this ! We are just so primitive, we can't even begin to understand what's out there ? We've only been around a few minutes in comparison to far more advanced life forms
I can't believe how most people think life is easy because they see all the different species we have here on Earth, but it only ever happened once over four and a half billion years ago and all living things on Earth are cousins. We are related to a cellular Adam after that no life has ever been created.
Yeah but those cellular atoms you talk about were created in just soups of boiling biochemical b******* their soups of biochemical b******* everywhere in the universe you can't tell me things like plants and trees and animals just aren't f****** everywhere everywhere there's water is probably f****** animals Intelligent life is the real question there's only three possibilities dark Forest theory aliens and the universe the same thing a forest is the associate animals just standing in the forest monkeys don't jump out of trees to greet you everybody's hiding in separate trees because they're worried they're going to be eaten by the others that's what every society in the universe is doing hiding why are they hiding because this universe isn't big enough for all of us every intelligent species that evolves into sentience and hypertechnology must think themselves gods and if they don't they intend to not die I assume just think about it if we found an alien planet with a bunch of medieval people on it and then our scientists came to us and said their brain is 10% larger than ours and they're technological advancement is going faster they're going to be more advanced than us in just a hundred years there would be calls to below these people up to preemptively invade them because what's going to happen they're going to realize that we're looking at them and then they're going to realize how much technology they have on either try to fight us or conquer us because their own self priority is their main concern just like ours is
No new life is being created because it gets destroyed as soon as it barely does, but the already existing life. The same goes for intelligence, of course there's only 1, as if another came close to evolving human-level intelligence we'd obliterate them.
I really hope we get utterly amazed at the level and layers that Nature and the natural world can be capable of with in our vast ranges of worlds, throughout space, and that there is all sorts of base forms of say like extremophiles or just such foreign based biology that it's like we are looking at unknown technology and we learn how it operates and functions. That's what I really hope to find.
@@HamburgerWastelandNah, that's scary. Even a bunch of different alien lifeforms would be scary.... but then.... we might actually get to **** them. Eh? Lol
@@HamburgerWasteland I agree. If we’re literally alone that’s WAY more terrifying. If that’s a ‘Star Wars’ type society out there. We’ll soon get use to it and there will be more tribalism.
I believe it's ignorant to think life forms outside earth require the same fundamental building blocks. It would have evolved under very different conditions.
I understand it in a sense because that’s all we have to go off so we have to start somewhere. Id be curious if there are other theories of what could be building blocks for life outside of what we know.
The universe is infinite. This means there are infinite galaxy, starts, plants. infinite planets with life. Infinite planets with intelligent life. Eveything is far apart. Most planets are too many light years away to ever communicate with.
A planet can be too hot for life, but I doubt that a planet can ever be too cold for life. In descending towards the core of a planet the temperature rises. There are also 'tidal' gravitational forces which can produce heat. For this reason a number of bodies just in our own solar system alone, are though to have large oceans inside.
Just a theory but I believe that there are other variables to life that we don’t have the imagination to fathom or the technology to find it. I believe there to be an infinity of information beyond our comprehension and we will never understand everything in our lifetime or even within the existence of mankind. I don’t say this to be negative I meant it to glorify science and in admiration of its complexity.
Yes, that and any number of other various possibilities. What I was getting to was that with our limited understanding of life and what that consist of I feel as though we are missing things that could be of significance. I believe that there are elements and other things that we are not able to trace yet. For example there could be a planet close enough to explore that contains life but maybe has a different atmosphere with unknown elements. I’m definitely not a scientist and I’m sure someone much more intelligent than me has already thought of these things. It is interesting to think about though. Intelligent life beyond the human imagination. Hidden gems just beyond our horizons and we are just scratching the surface of exploration. It’s a beautiful thing, I love the curiosity and the sheer will of humans who seek the knowledge of the universe it’s a commendable and unselfish way to live one’s life.
We cannot answer definitely whether viruses are alive, so it seems odd to think that there could be other structures that are almost alive but not quite.
This seems like an artefact of our need to categorise a disorderly world, rather than an unanswered question. But yes, it would be fascinating to see what RNA/DNA analogues exist in the cosmos. My thinking is they would be quite similar in principle due to the abundance of the same organic compounds, the same laws of physics. We see in nature the same problems being solved multiple times independently.
If we found a warm, oxygen rich planet within 5 light-years, I guess we could have probes in orbit by end of the century (e.g. breakthrough starshot), and we could go there in another century, by way of nuclear propulsion.
there's actually the Alpha Centauri system that could in fact sustain life or even have it, so who knows. I think that would be the greatest event in history, finding alien life, even if it's just bacteria or something like that.
That’s what I always debate with my close friends. “What if I told you a disc shaped ufo came down, aliens spoke to me then flew away. Think of how hard it would be for you a close friend to truly believe I was telling the truth.” Putting things in perspective is step one lol
@@justemusicme wellll... I mean the human mind is pretty freaky. Sometimes it makes up memories when encountering an error, thats how deja vues happen. I mean we literally have a blind spot in the eye and our brain just fills in the missing space and most people live their whole lives without even realizing it. ... So a brain injury leading to the brain trying to fill in the lost time is not such a strange thing... also if there are aliens who have exactly two feet and two hands and two eyes just like us and use vehicles like us then that would be a huge coincidence eh
They study of other planets understanding their development might give us a better understanding of what might happen to our planet. Besides, who are you to tell others what to do? If studying space is their passion, let them do so.
The goldilocks hypothesis is outdated, and I'm not referring to extremophiles. We now know that the inner core of ice planets could contain liquid water, there are other sources of heatt, other than a star!
3 levels for life. 1. microbial, 2. plant/animal & 3. intelligent. 1. common (1 in 10 solar systems with habitat zone planets). 2. (1 in 1,000) 3. (1 in 1,000,000) - milky way approx. 250b star systems. 15% habitat zone planets
I'd put two more levels 4. Sentient and aware of the consequences of their mortality 5. Sentient and have transcended their mortality Intelligent life isn't sentient life. Dogs, pigs and even crows are intelligent but there's a step between intelligence and consciousness as that is what allows technology and science to develop.
@@person737 Yeah I meant self aware. "I think therefore I am". Perceiving their individual reality and existence at a level greater than that of survival etc.
liquid water can exist outside the goldilocke zone, for example Jupiters moon Europa, althogh its surface is completely frozen solid due to Jupiter and other moons it pulls on Europa and warms the moon, it is almost 100% certian that theres a liquid ocean underneath Europa's icy surface. theres also evidence that its core is active. since theres a source of energy (geothermal) simple forms of life can exist there.
Sri.M, spiritual Guru from India explains in his autobiography, "Apprenticed to Himalayan Master' of his meeting an extra-terrestrial being in the shape of a large snake with hoods in pressence of his master. It came in a luminous spherical vehicle, opened one hemi-sphere and got out. It communicated with his Master in a hissing language. After the discussion, master introduced Sri.M to the being. It blessed him over his head. It returned in the same vehicle from the Himalayas. Science Correspondant could explore.

Not necessarily. Bacterial life, almost certainly. Multicellular life -- maybe. Intelligent, technological civilisations, possibly not. Thus far, there has been absolutely ZERO evidence. If THEY exist in another galaxy, then we will never know, and thus, effectively, they will not exist, and neither will we from their viewpoint.
I'm no scientist, but it seems the question of "is there life elsewhere?" could be answered in part by trying to calculate how many planets should have hosted an abiogenesis at some point, or perhaps by calculating how many carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphate atoms there are in the universe and then calculating how many DNA molecules we should expect to be produced.
If you consider all the many factors that need to come together to make life possible, it's pretty evident that we humans are really unique. Drake's equation is far too simplistic.
They're only required factors from the perspective of humans. If we don't know everything about the universe, there's no way to say for sure that water is needed in every single situation for life to develop. It's our very minimal knowledge that gives us this opinion.

Interesting...mentions the importance of the Goldilocks Zone, but misses out the fact the Goldilocks Zone only works if there is a LOT of water (aka the amount only found in a Frost Zone usually). So not only does an Exoplanet need to be in a Goldilocks Zone,it also needs a oversized moon, or a large Jupiter class gas giant- something that indicates the transfer of volatiles from the frost zone to what is still the 'too hot zone'. Getting volatiles from the frost zone to the Goldilocks Zone needs a large gravity source causing chaos so you can have a Late Heavy Bombardment/Theia type collision. Otherwise? Goldilocks is a red herring.
Water is not necessarily the ONLY solvent which could provide a medium for life to form. There may be other solvent media in the galaxy, or even in our own solar system (Titan). These alternative solvents could lead to alternative forms of biochemistry distinct from our own. All that is really needed is a mixing medium for chemicals to get together and react.
I don't know. That's the best answer. Saying NO is being arrogant. Earth is also a planet and .......live exist. We humans are still learning as long as we live. We don't know everything

Why are scientists only thinking of life like us- carbon based? An alien species could be very different in their make up. Maybe they need something other than water to live. I think the possibilities are endless and our scientists are being short sighted.
Without knowing if life can somehow have arise naturally from non life, we really have no idea if life may exist elsewhere in the universe. Even if we conclude that life was created we still wouldn't know if earth is the only place life was created on. I think our efforts would be better placed in finding out if life can arise naturally or not. This discovery would have far bigger implications for us than finding life elsewhere in the universe.
Storms form from non storms. Life follows the same laws of physics as everything else. The energy that powers life is the same energy that powers storms and everything else in the universe. They both maintain lower states of entropy at the expense of raising entropy outside their systems. If a hurricane and it's destructive power can form from interactions of oceans and air then why would life be restricted from building itself up? Chemical reactions in an environment such as primordial earth given enough time can build itself like a storm. Why couldn't it?
@@kevincloud574 We know how storms form from non storms. Science doesn't know what consciousness is so we don't know how consciousness can arise from mere matter. Science has actually been showing how unlikely it is for life to arise naturally. So far science has shown life arising naturally from non life is akin to a hurricane going through a scrapyard and leaving behind a fully functioning Boeing 747. It is never going to happen no matter how much time we give it.
@@andrewdouglas1963 That doesn't make any sense. You never heard or neuroscience or cognitive science? Science is fully investigating consciousness and already has lots of data about the electro chemical processes and what different parts of the brain do. I highly doubt that statement that science is showing how unlikely life is to arrive naturally but I would be open to looking at any evidence or studies or theories that provide an answer as to how that is so.
@@kevincloud574 Yes I have heard of neuroscience and cognitive science but I think you misunderstand my point. Yes science can investigate and see the electrical activity and chemical reactions in the brain but science cannot observe or test what electrical reaction our consciousness interprets as love, colour etc. It's a bit like the old example that science can tell us everything about a cake apart from why the baker baked it. Why the baker baked the cake is confined to the conscious mind. Regarding life from non life, I would highly recommend the series of 13 videos produced by Dr James Tour. He shows in detail where exactly science stands on origin of life research and just how amazingly unlikely it would be for life to arise naturally. If like me you have an interest in this topic you will really enjoy it and it will greatly increase your knowledge in this area of scientific research. You can watch them all here on RUclips. I can provide a link if you wish.
Extra terrestrials certainly exist but for some reason only in the United States. My advice is for you guys to find as many intelligent and productive US adults and divert them and a vast quantity of valuable resources and time to looking really deeply into this anomaly to satisfy the curiosity of the very emotionally stable witnesses and reliable segments of the media that report such valuable phenomena.
I don't understand why there isn't a massive focus on going to Europa with some sort of drilling drone/underwater drone. It is almost confirmed that Europa has an ocean undernearth it's vast icesheets. I know the technology doesn't exist right now to drill through but we should be working towards it at speed.
Why there are suddenly soo much videos about finding alien life? NASA has also begun a mission on researching ufos. Is the mainstream media preparing people now?
Life,in all its complexities,is available here,now ,on Earth.Why are we desperately looking elsewhere for it? It’s like a car collector who has every fine vehicle on the market saying I must find a car.
Excellent report. The only comment I can give is just that newer telescopes has and will have bigger mirrors, not lenses. Because they will be almost exclusively reflectors. Not refractors.
The search for extraterrestrial life began in the 1950s with the advent of the space age. The search for life was common in science fiction, but it was considered to be somewhat of a laughing stock in reality because we lacked the technology to actually do it. In the last few decades, astrobiology has become this incredibly exciting frontier for these big questions that need to be answered. Scientists have discovered 59 worlds outside of our solar system that are just right. The planet with the most potential is called tea garden b 12 light years away. With a 6.5-meter mirror, the world-famous Hubble telescope is outclassed by the james Webb telescope. Large ground-based telescopes with 40 meter wide lenses will be available by the end of the decade. NASA's 2022 budget is the largest it's been since the 1960s. Ground-based telescopes with mirrors 25 to 40 meters wide are anticipated to go into service. They could be joined by two planned NASA spacecraft, one of which is intended to capture pictures of inhabited planets. By 2020, you'll be able to comprehend what a day is like on every planet.
The search for ET life predated the 50s. There was a lot of speculation about alien life in the late 1800s, particulary about the "canals" on Mars. e.g. War of the Worlds was written in 1897. In 1899 Tesla was convinced his radio system was picking up signals from Mars. And Lowell wrote "Mars As the Abode of Life" in 1908 Cheers.
We found alien life long ago. The question is when will they confide with us. As long as we maintain exploitation, warfare, and other primitive behavior, they may abstain from any discussions with us.
questions like this are maddening, the truth that people cant psychologically accept for some reason that they are here and been here a long time already, many have ongoing face to face contact and many people have been to outerspace already,
@Crataegus you are too simple to comprehend. The evidence is there for the taking, you like many cannot handle it on a psychological level. It will be forced in your face eventually and you will be scared and stressed as a result of it in your personal life.

In order to find Alien Life, we have to give a clear definition of LIFE. What is LIFE? I don't think Alien needs Oxygen or water. They may feed on radioactive elements, etc.
My uneducated opinion: Life is any sort system capable of interacting with the environment in order to create more of itself. Either in size or iterations.
Once you think of life as a general system that perpetuates itself, it’s easier to open your mind as to what living is.

A Trillion galaxies. We began believing that the key was finding planets in the habitable zone of its host star. But the real key might actually be, just finding the water. ( as wherever there is water on Earth there is life) And since there are multiple moons in our solar system with liquid oceans beneath their icy crust, it might be that life could exist more frequently in aquatic worlds than in terrestrial worlds, and the habitable zone might not have anything to do with it if the host planet is large enough to tug on its moons enough to create liquid water on a moon. Europa should be our first Habitat after Mars.

Why can’t we search to see if we’re the only intelligent life in this galaxy?
Imagine a civilization with Einstein level i.q but not enough metals on your planet to advance technologically. In others words intelligence doesn't always go hand in hand with technological advancement
Arthur C. Clarke imagined this in one of the stories in his collection Expedition to Earth.
Whales are supposed to be smart, but they have no hands and can't use fire. Same for octopi.
Elephants might have a chance, but being a herbivore means you have less motivation to solve problems, since your food doesn't run away.
I like to think that science always find its ways.
If not metals, which seems improbable due to what we know about planets and stars chemical composition, there could be other "materials" that we don't even know. Anyway, metals is a very broad definition.
I guess that if you have Einsteins, you probably also have physics laws, and "materials" affected by those laws.
The real reason why we still have not found any Alien life is because we still don't know what are we looking for and how to look for it. In other words, we have not yet evolved enough to truly comprehend what is around us, despite the common belief. We expect to find alien life that mimics the one in the planet earth because we believe that life can only form on the condition found in our planet. We couldn't possibly be anymore wrong. There is a possibility other life forms are all around us, we just have no means to see our understand it because we are not build or evolved enough for such thing. The same way an Ant colony does not understand that their nest is build just in the house corner of life forms that are far far superior to them, called Humans. Our mistake is that we believe we are the pinnacle of intelligence, and on the grand scale of things that's just halirious, considering we have barely stepped on the Moon, which is just on our doorstep.
it's not the we believe live can only exist on a planet like earth but more so that we know for sure that it can so it's safer to look at planets similar to earth, it has been theorized that live can exist on planets that normally aren't considered habitable but we don't know for sire and we don't know how life there would look so looking for life there would be a shot in the dark
@@ejhstmac8783 well
Yes. Exactly this ! We are just so primitive, we can't even begin to understand what's out there ? We've only been around a few minutes in comparison to far more advanced life forms
I can't believe how most people think life is easy because they see all the different species we have here on Earth, but it only ever happened once over four and a half billion years ago and all living things on Earth are cousins. We are related to a cellular Adam after that no life has ever been created.
Cellular "Adam" huh?
Yeah but those cellular atoms you talk about were created in just soups of boiling biochemical b******* their soups of biochemical b******* everywhere in the universe you can't tell me things like plants and trees and animals just aren't f****** everywhere everywhere there's water is probably f****** animals Intelligent life is the real question there's only three possibilities dark Forest theory aliens and the universe the same thing a forest is the associate animals just standing in the forest monkeys don't jump out of trees to greet you everybody's hiding in separate trees because they're worried they're going to be eaten by the others that's what every society in the universe is doing hiding why are they hiding because this universe isn't big enough for all of us every intelligent species that evolves into sentience and hypertechnology must think themselves gods and if they don't they intend to not die I assume just think about it if we found an alien planet with a bunch of medieval people on it and then our scientists came to us and said their brain is 10% larger than ours and they're technological advancement is going faster they're going to be more advanced than us in just a hundred years there would be calls to below these people up to preemptively invade them because what's going to happen they're going to realize that we're looking at them and then they're going to realize how much technology they have on either try to fight us or conquer us because their own self priority is their main concern just like ours is
No new life is being created because it gets destroyed as soon as it barely does, but the already existing life. The same goes for intelligence, of course there's only 1, as if another came close to evolving human-level intelligence we'd obliterate them.
I really hope we get utterly amazed at the level and layers that Nature and the natural world can be capable of with in our vast ranges of worlds, throughout space, and that there is all sorts of base forms of say like extremophiles or just such foreign based biology that it's like we are looking at unknown technology and we learn how it operates and functions.

Yes, the economists are the ones I trust when it comes to this topic.
A planet can be too hot for life, but I doubt that a planet can ever be too cold for life. In descending towards the core of a planet the temperature rises. There are also 'tidal' gravitational forces which can produce heat. For this reason a number of bodies just in our own solar system alone, are though to have large oceans inside.
I can answer it to u already - life is much, much more rare than we think… life as we know is truly a miracle and we don’t value it as we should!
When I think The Economist I think hypothetical discussions about if aliens exist.
Lol
Right.
Just a theory but I believe that there are other variables to life that we don’t have the imagination to fathom or the technology to find it. I believe there to be an infinity of information beyond our comprehension and we will never understand everything in our lifetime or even within the existence of mankind. I don’t say this to be negative I meant it to glorify science and in admiration of its complexity.
Yes life could be based on a geometrical process that part of mainstream science.
Yes, that and any number of other various possibilities. What I was getting to was that with our limited understanding of life and what that consist of I feel as though we are missing things that could be of significance. I believe that there are elements and other things that we are not able to trace yet. For example there could be a planet close enough to explore that contains life but maybe has a different atmosphere with unknown elements. I’m definitely not a scientist and I’m sure someone much more intelligent than me has already thought of these things. It is interesting to think about though. Intelligent life beyond the human imagination. Hidden gems just beyond our horizons and we are just scratching the surface of exploration. It’s a beautiful thing, I love the curiosity and the sheer will of humans who seek the knowledge of the universe it’s a commendable and unselfish way to live one’s life.

3 levels for life. 1. microbial, 2. plant/animal & 3. intelligent. 1. common (1 in 10 solar systems with habitat zone planets). 2. (1 in 1,000) 3. (1 in 1,000,000) - milky way approx. 250b star systems. 15% habitat zone planets
I'd put two more levels
4. Sentient and aware of the consequences of their mortality
5. Sentient and have transcended their mortality
Intelligent life isn't sentient life. Dogs, pigs and even crows are intelligent but there's a step between intelligence and consciousness as that is what allows technology and science to develop.

liquid water can exist outside the goldilocke zone, for example Jupiters moon Europa, althogh its surface is completely frozen solid due to Jupiter and other moons it pulls on Europa and warms the moon, it is almost 100% certian that theres a liquid ocean underneath Europa's icy surface. theres also evidence that its core is active. since theres a source of energy (geothermal) simple forms of life can exist there.

If THEY exist in another galaxy, then we will never know, and thus, effectively, they will not exist, and neither will we from their viewpoint.
Nope. The WOW signal has been explained.
I'm no scientist, but it seems the question of "is there life elsewhere?" could be answered in part by trying to calculate how many planets should have hosted an abiogenesis at some point, or perhaps by calculating how many carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphate atoms there are in the universe and then calculating how many DNA molecules we should expect to be produced.
If you consider all the many factors that need to come together to make life possible, it's pretty evident that we humans are really unique. Drake's equation is far too simplistic.
They're only required factors from the perspective of humans. If we don't know everything about the universe, there's no way to say for sure that water is needed in every single situation for life to develop. It's our very minimal knowledge that gives us this opinion.

Interesting...mentions the importance of the Goldilocks Zone, but misses out the fact the Goldilocks Zone only works if there is a LOT of water (aka the amount only found in a Frost Zone usually). So not only does an Exoplanet need to be in a Goldilocks Zone,it also needs a oversized moon, or a large Jupiter class gas giant- something that indicates the transfer of volatiles from the frost zone to what is still the 'too hot zone'.
Getting volatiles from the frost zone to the Goldilocks Zone needs a large gravity source causing chaos so you can have a Late Heavy Bombardment/Theia type collision. Otherwise? Goldilocks is a red herring.
Water is not necessarily the ONLY solvent which could provide a medium for life to form. There may be other solvent media in the galaxy, or even in our own solar system (Titan). These alternative solvents could lead to alternative forms of biochemistry distinct from our own. All that is really needed is a mixing medium for chemicals to get together and react.

Without knowing if life can somehow have arise naturally from non life, we really have no idea if life may exist elsewhere in the universe.

Storms form from non storms. Life follows the same laws of physics as everything else. The energy that powers life is the same energy that powers storms and everything else in the universe. They both maintain lower states of entropy at the expense of raising entropy outside their systems.

Excellent report. The only comment I can give is just that newer telescopes has and will have bigger mirrors, not lenses. Because they will be almost exclusively reflectors. Not refractors.
The search for extraterrestrial life began in the 1950s with the advent of the space age. The search for life was common in science fiction, but it was considered to be somewhat of a laughing stock in reality because we lacked the technology to actually do it. In the last few decades, astrobiology has become this incredibly exciting frontier for these big questions that need to be answered. Scientists have discovered 59 worlds outside of our solar system that are just right. The planet with the most potential is called tea garden b 12 light years away.
With a 6.5-meter mirror, the world-famous Hubble telescope is outclassed by the james Webb telescope. Large ground-based telescopes with 40 meter wide lenses will be available by the end of the decade. NASA's 2022 budget is the largest it's been since the 1960s. Ground-based telescopes with mirrors 25 to 40 meters wide are anticipated to go into service. They could be joined by two planned NASA spacecraft, one of which is intended to capture pictures of inhabited planets. By 2020, you'll be able to comprehend what a day is like on every planet.
yeah, are we able to see peter pan and neverland with those telescopes?😂
The search for ET life predated the 50s.
There was a lot of speculation about alien life in the late 1800s, particulary about the "canals" on Mars.
e.g. War of the Worlds was written in 1897.
In 1899 Tesla was convinced his radio system was picking up signals from Mars.
And Lowell wrote "Mars As the Abode of Life" in 1908
Cheers.
By 2020?
wrong, but whatever...even your dates
I really want to believe what out there. We might not be only life in universe.
when the guy reading the script has never listened to Bowie
Wasn’t the signal discovered in the 70’s just a pulsar?
We found alien life long ago. The question is when will they confide with us. As long as we maintain exploitation, warfare, and other primitive behavior, they may abstain from any discussions with us.
questions like this are maddening, the truth that people cant psychologically accept for some reason that they are here and been here a long time already, many have ongoing face to face contact and many people have been to outerspace already,
@Crataegus care to explain? You dont think extraterrestrials who are here have brought people to other planets?
@Crataegus you are too simple to comprehend. The evidence is there for the taking, you like many cannot handle it on a psychological level. It will be forced in your face eventually and you will be scared and stressed as a result of it in your personal life.
look man all i want is confirmation that humans arent the only beings cursed to experience this neverending uphill battle handed to us by the universe :(
The contact with ET life represents our major enigma at this time. I welcome you to watch a couple of videos I have done to spread some awareness on the UFO/ UAP phenomenon. Et bed talks
Without even looking at the whole video, I already suspect that the Economist would be talking only about microbial ETs. Anything more advanced would offend the Economist’s backers.
Just curious how this relates with the economy for The Economist.
Bro i just need a ride to the next habitable zone
Habitable.
Everyone is searching for aliens outside earth, but every creature here on earth is completely alien to me. We don't know anything about them right?
we are like an ant coming across the atlantic ocean going "huh strange I don't see any other ants here..." while on the other side of the ocean elephants roam.
stop searching for life.
we live in a dark forest.
and the first to start a fire dies by it.
We need to explore another earth like water planet to find it. They are very far away.
