Absolutely! The odds that they exist are overwhelming when you think of how GALAXIES are scattered like specks of dust!\nNow... even though aliens exist, what are the odds that they are on another planet in our galaxy right NOW? Think about it... It took 50 million years for humans to appear on Earth. How long will we be here?... only 50 to 100 thousand years (hopefully)? How many other planets will bring forth intelligent life - not a whole heck of a lot. And of them, when will that life be around? Just a tiny amount of relative time.\n...What I am saying is that EVEN IF other civilizations were, are, or will be... the timeline of the universe is too insanely long for any of us to be co-existing. The reality may very well be that we are currently very alone here in our time and place. I hope this gives you a new, more realistic way of seeing things. Sorry it's such a downer, though!

I hope so...\n\nI would like to imagine a future of space travel for the human race.\n\nBut I have no expereince in the field to offer suggestions.

In this huge galaxy called the Milky Way, the posibilities are great. The problem is knowing were to look and being lucky to find that "needle in a hay stack".\n\nWe're here, and maybe if other beings exist, they may never find us either.\n\nThe answer is to believe and continue to explore our galaxy with optical and radio telescopes. And untill humanity can explore fisicaly and populate other worlds, or just stay here and awate the end of life.

Hell no, all humans will die from some crisis or big disaster, or maybe the earth will be swallowed by some black hole (Actually it's happening) scientist found out that our galaxy is being sucked by some Massive black hole.\n\nI just don't want to be there when it happens :D

The Milky Way galaxy is about 80 million times bigger than our solar system.

they'll conquer the world!!!

Absolutely.  The laws of robotics that Isaac Asimov described require the participation of the people creating robots, and in the military sectors, these people are breaking those laws by creating robots that can kill people.   So after thinking about it, I believe it's likely that robots will come to dominate humans unless we stop imprinting them with our brutal primitive competitive instincts and thought processes.

The astrobiology folks at NASA have calculated that there are between one and thirty billion habitable planets in our Milky Way Galaxy.  If our solar system is typical,  you can multiply that by about 10 to get total planets: between 10 and 300 billion.  \n\nSo where is everybody?

well since they have the exotic technology to travel light years across the galaxy then they probably have a nice menu set up for their intergalactic barbeque travels.\n\nALIEN 1:\n"hey, we are passing that 3rd planet from the sun...how about we fire up the barbie and cook some hot human @$$!"\nALIEN 2:\n"no, no, no, this time lets go for the big breasted blobs of meat that run around that small star system 4 light years in that direction?"

Probably never.  More likely, if humanity gets wiped out, it will be because of some devastating event like an asteroid strike.\n\nBut humanity, as a class, is very tenacious.

the guys talking about our sun in 5 billion years are correct. by then we should figure out a way to move to a new star system.

maybe maybe not. mua hahahahah\n. oh u feen you know my plan!!!!!\nI SHALL TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!!\nMUA HAHAHAHAH MUA HAHAHAA!!

Yeah, they keep coming over the border from Mexico.\n\nSeriously, though.  As they said in the movie "Contact":\n\nWith all those stars in all those galaxies, it sure would be a huge waste of space.

Humans found out that they live in a small living planet in the middle of a very-small galaxy. our galaxy is in the middle of a small super-cluster too. And they dont know more about this.

Our galaxy the Milky Way contains about a hundred billion stars, there are billions of galaxies out there. I think man would be presumptious to the extreme if he believed he were the only intelligent life to exist in all of creation. I am sure with all the advances in technology, that within twenty years a signal will be picked up, that unmistakeably answers your question: We Are Not Alone!

Each galaxy is held together by its own gravitational forces, and the forces outside of those galaxies, is not as much a factor.  Like a bomb blowing up, you can't be sure of where most of the shards will end up, and the same for those galaxies, when they first came into existance.
