Aliens?

[Blane Reed]

But anyways. I stand that there is a slight chance that there are other life out there. They may not be little green men or some weird looking monster. But i see that there could more out there than we thing. If anything they maybe dumber or smarter than we be on this earth.

Given the infinite size of the universe, it would not surprise me to find that there is life, of some variety out there. However, it would also not surprise me to discover that that life was monocellular, since that's a very advantageous thing to be. Also, even if there is life, I find it highly unlikely that we'll ever meet it, given that FTL (faster than light) travel is highly improbable, and even were it not the effects of it would have nasty repercussions for anyone involved. Only way we'll ever meet it is cryogenic ships... which seems a bit daft; generation ships, which are a waste of humanity; or if they do something similar. Or, of course, if the life is sentient and capable of travelling across to meet us, if they are suitably long-lived or have some form of cryogenics or the like to allow them to still be alive when their ship reaches us. However, even were we to do that, when we met them, one or the other culture would be stranded from their home culture, separated by both a great deal of space and a large amount of time, meaning that we would be basically communicating with their culture frozen in the past, or they would be communicating with ours stuck in the past. All that of course dependent on having the knowledge that life is out there, which we don't have.

I do not believe that any aliens come to Earth and probe what always seems to be country-folk to find out about us. Any sensible species would have figured out eventually that there is not all that much to discover about humanity that can be found in the colon.
