Are you a fan of Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking's research?

They are the craziest astronomers  i have seen, no way:\n\n1) you need to be in a spiral galaxy which is only 10% of the options, others have such qravitational anomalies that water could not stay in a single state long and forces would change to fast to adapt\n\n2) you need a yellow dwarf star; others are to hot or to cold, to big, to small, not right radiation levels, no UV; most stars are red dwarves which would fail to support plant life, and that is 5% of stars.\n\n3) You need to be in the right part of the galaxy: too far near the center in a spiral galaxy and you have the same problem other galxies have with gravitational anomalies, which is also where most stars are, too far out and there are not enough heavy elements to create complex life.\n\n4) You need to be in the right place in the solar system for liquid water, a very narrow window\n\n5) You need a huge variety of elements to support cell functions\n\n6) You need a right sized planet in order to have gravity not strong enough to flatten it so it is underwater, but so that it does have a warm core and an atmosphere\n\n7) You need plate tectonics to keep nutrients on the surface\n\n8) You need a satelite to balance the orbit and seasons to prevent random weather and keep tides\n\n9) You need a large planet to shield the other planet from cosmic debris\n\n10) You need a very near circular orbit to ensure stable weather and no planets in the same orbit as your own planet\n\n11) You need some way of manufacturing the elements together into amino acids into proteins into cells with all of the organelles and a method of reproducing\n\nTo get all of this stuff and more is inconceivable. \n\nThen there is intelligent life...\n\n12) Darwinism does not make sense, the cell is irreducibly complex (see 11), the movement of evolution is too slow, as pretty much any biological change will kill a creature (biological changes come rarely), and organs and their speciallized cells are too great of changes for this to happen, and the parts by themselves are useless without eachother, rendering them useless for reproductive purposes...\n\n13)You need a sizable amount of oxygen to have fire and big-brained creatures to use it.\n\n14) You need an ecosystem to allow the beings to gain enough resources: (nutrients, wood, medicine, etc.)

I think we might have met,didnt you test the time machine was build by GIBBS?well i dont care what others say.but if you the same person,you,yourself witnessed who that guy time treavelled,it was not much,but if you can time travel few hours by this simple machine i guess more advanced people for sure they can do it,after all how do they get here from their star system,about john titor his predication about black hole was built by sers came true,didnt it?something like what 10 of his predictions?well people are afraid of unknown,but im sure you are the same person and have a lot of experince in time travel,yes it was true.

Everything about space is interesting. It is all a mystery and so much is yet to be discovered. I used to love to study the planets when I was in school. I love to watch the stars and wonder what is up there and what it is really like to be billions and billions of miles away from the earth

hawkings is so smart he can believe whatever he likes

Great idea.  What is your hypothesis?  What experiment will you do?  What data will you collect?  How will you interpret it?

Well I like it myself!!\nIf your interested in astronomy etc. I hope you like the following site.\n\nhttp://space.com

lol good question gotta be stephen"laryngitis"hawking for me

If you have ever taken a trip to a new place you would understand.  If your passion is Geology and you enjoy going in the field to see and touch the different formations, or if you enjoy Biology and you enjoy collecting new samples to perhaps see an animal that no person has ever seen, or if you are an adventurer who climbs a mountain just because it is there, then you can imagine the lure of space and interplanetary exploration.  This is the passion that drives NASA and our Astronaut corps.  Live to pursue the goals of your dreams, let them drive YOU!\nI would go to where other sentient being are.  I would want to learn about how they see their own social issues and share how we approach ours.  I do believe that one day Humankind will live just like Gene Roddenberry foresaw and portrayed in Star Trek.

www.hawking.org.uk-I propose you visit this web site.It is great and you can even e-mail Hawking himself!

LOL You are a god! You deserve a medal for that research! And I agree!

I say yes.  He is regarded by many in his field to be the greatest physicist of our time including Pulitzer Prize finalist Brian Greene.

Draw of the cards thats all, but as Stephen Hawking has proven nothing can hold a good man down. \nhttp://www.pbs.org/wnet/hawking/cosmostar/html/cstars_hawking.html

I'd like to join the list... I'm not kidding it's my dream. To your question there are many... Albert Einstein, Christian Huygens, Nicola Tesla, Maxwell, Max Plank, Schrodinger.... the list is long

It is an interesting idea, but for the moment, only an idea. The cosmology behind black holes is pretty sound, and they have been observed now, such as in Cygnus x-1.

hard question to answer.  What kind of physicist?  Because Stephen Hawking is undoubtably a great and popular theorectical physicist but theres others who have made great contributions like Edward Witten, who in fact has been dubbed by some as "the greatest living physicist."  So there are great physicists each with great contributions... It's all about perspective

Stephen Hawking, who made significant discoveries in Cosmology, specifically related to black holes, the history of the universe, the theory of relativity, and the "theory of everything."

Not me, but I'm glad you are. Actually, I guess many scientists are.
