No. But would like to. muscleman Posted at 1:57 pm on Mar. 10, 2007 Most humans haven't, although I am certain some have.   goodman Posted at 3:48 am on Mar. 8, 2007 No. bourney Posted at 11:15 am on Jan. 28, 2007 Quote: from asb at 2:15 pm on Jan. 16, 2007 The basic requirements for life are something to use as a 'building block' and something for reactions to occur in.  These things happen to be carbon and water on Earth, and there are few other realistic options.  Silicon and ammonia are one set, possibly the most likely alternative.  Life also requires an energy input, so it would need a planet not so close to its star that it gets fried, but not so far that reactions take forever and a day.  So while life does not require conditions exactly like earth, they must be similar, or at least equivalent. Much of near space is in fact filled with very low pressure gas (helium and hydrogen), so there is in fact a minute amount of friction. Incidentally, if you don't believe this, just consider how it is they can tell you the temperature of space - a complete vacuum doesn't have a temperature. As for speeds faster than light, I'll believe that when I see it.  There are plenty of people who believe they have found loopholes in the laws of thermodynamics, and of relativity, but turned out to be mistaken.  The theories may not work on a subatomic scale, or on a universal scale, but on a human scale they have never come under threat. The universe is infinite is it not? That means that there are infinite chances of there been life like on Earth in the universe. bourney Posted at 11:13 am on Jan. 28, 2007 Quote: from MariJani at 4:07 am on Jan. 9, 2007 Quote: from cpjcjhsh at 8:00 pm on Jan. 8, 2007 Quote: from MariJani at 9:54 pm on Jan. 8, 2007 There's no such thing.      And what degrees do you hold that allow you to make such a claim? common sense doesnt common sense indicate that there are aliens out there? LillianH Posted at 8:47 am on Jan. 28, 2007 Well technically my mom is a legal alien in the United States. :) silv3rsmchz Posted at 6:16 pm on Jan. 24, 2007 No. me llamo alice Posted at 6:58 pm on Jan. 23, 2007 hm. nope. but my uncle earl has.   melodramatic Posted at 6:43 pm on Jan. 23, 2007 Oh yeah, plenty of times [/end sarcasm] Zodiac Posted at 10:32 am on Jan. 17, 2007 Yes my sister. i swear she isnt human. aliens kidnapped by parents and brainwashed them to believe she is their second child. she crawled out of an aliens arse. asb Posted at 6:15 am on Jan. 16, 2007 The basic requirements for life are something to use as a 'building block' and something for reactions to occur in.  These things happen to be carbon and water on Earth, and there are few other realistic options.  Silicon and ammonia are one set, possibly the most likely alternative.  Life also requires an energy input, so it would need a planet not so close to its star that it gets fried, but not so far that reactions take forever and a day.  So while life does not require conditions exactly like earth, they must be similar, or at least equivalent.
