Aliens are real?

That's easy - the sole purpose of religion, is to give those who might need it, an explanation for all that we don't presently have any logical explanation for. We don't have a 'higher being', so religion was created to provide an imaginary one.

Try that on the believers.

Eh? Cox says he worries that we are in fact the only life in the universe. Science doesn't say, "it is massive, so there must be life on other planets".

The more extensive it is, the higher the chances of life, and intelligent life being given the right conditions to develop. With so many opportunities - Only someone with a closed mind would make the assumption they were alone, the only life. Life on earth developed through a series of events, the very same events through which other planets in the universe could easily have progressed through, and developed its own life. If you study more of Brian Cox's output, he has several times said that he believes we are certainly not alone.

The small cow, is far away.

Who knows, but you keep going on about the evidence for it. There is none.

What evidence would you expect? From such a distance, there is no evidence of life on earth.

 

[denso13]

What evidence would you expect?

No idea. It's you that claims you have it.

 

[noseall]

What evidence would you expect?

ANY (that you oft proclaim) would do.

Nor will there ever be.

We (scientists, astronomers etc) are currently looking very deep into space. Now that they have a functioning space telescope (and the ability to listen), we can see further back in time the deeper into space we look. To say that the great unknown has our attention, is an understatement.

So far - absolutely nothing. Not a peep for trillions upon trillions of miles. If aliens are travelling towards Earth, from the undetectable parts of the Cosmos, expect a visit in three hundred gazillion trillion years, when man has long become extinct and the oceans frozen.

Did you make a mistake there, we should have been 'they'.

What were you/they expecting? Point a telescope at earth from a similarly great distance, and you would see no evidence.

The royal 'we'.

I made it clear in my post. Did you not see the words in the brackets?

Earth must be the noisiest planet in space. But you are correct, any planet that is of any credence, is too far away for life forms to travel, in either direction. Even those supposedly on our doorstep.

There are no space aliens here on Earth, nor will there ever be, as long as man exists.

Point a radio telescope like the ones we have at earth from within the 70 light year radius of our transmitted TV and we light up the detectors like crazy.

Our TV transmissions work on a frequency that nothing in nature emits on. That's one of the things radio astronomers are on the lookout for.

I think Harry is still working with the sea-side binoculars/alien theory.

You are, I suppose aware, that radio transmission only progress at the speed of light, and the very nearest star is some 7 light years away?

And here lies the unexplainable Harry paradox.

Humans have been transmitting radio waves for long enough for them to reach a distance say a couple of hundred light years away. On the flip side, we have detected none.

It's safe to say Harry that no life forms will ever or have ever travelled to Earth and that humans will never be able to overcome even the shortest distance to the nearest habitable planet contender.

If they are out there Harry, you'll never know about them, nor will your my descendants.

But you never know what the future holds.
