Other species or more techn..

With over 70,000,000,000,000,000,00 stars in the universe it's statistically impossible to be the only species in the universe. Do you think there's other species out there? Do you think we could be under the microscope by a more advanced civilization?

I think if we were under the microscope from a more technologically advanced species they'd be watching us for a reason....So we won't destroy other civilizations. Think about it, we can't even live collectively due to differing religious beliefs and different pigments of skin. How in the world would we treat someone with huge eyes and and a unicorn sticking out they're forehead?

Secondly, try not to belittle the forces of technology or science by saying it takes a thousand light years to get from Point A to Point B using high octane rocket fuel. A couple of hundred years ago we would have been calling a cell phone magic, and 777s mystical dragons.

Religious thoughts welcome

I just watched something on Discovery about an ancient civilization in the Indian Ocean that was eleven thousand years ago. The Ocean obviously moved, and discovery is always true (a long time ago they said dolphins eat people?!). Is there life out there? Yes and probaly closer than we think. We assume life needs our conditions to exist, but this is almost certainly not true. Still it seems like it would have to be around where we are in a galaxy (to close to the center and it get's to hot). I don't think it needs to be where we are in our solar system though. Carl Sagan explained how life could've formed on Jupiter. I don't think any species has ever visited our planet, because life that intelligent probaly would be rare (mabey not). Well and about technology and the future. yes we increased the speed that we get from point A to point B with airplanes about two to five hundred times what it used to be, but to get to the nearest solar syster in a life time you would have to increse your speed by let's see fastest Rocket Ship 10km/s about time 1000 10000 Km/s 30X4.3 279 years /3 73 years so 3000 times what it is now. To get to the closest solar system in about seventy years. That's six times what the whole human history did. I'm not saying it's not possible but it's unlikely.
