Syris The New Earth: A Short Story

With all our knowledge of everything around us, overwhelming as it may be, there are still a lot of aspects that are unknown to even the smartest scientists. Did you know that humans know only 5% of the entire universe? Yes, everything we know about the Earth, the Milky Way, and all the planets is barely even a fourth of what comprises the entirety of the universe. Knowing that, it would be illogical to say that the creatures on Earth are the only forms of life in the universe. Today I will tell you about unidentified object sightings, close

Aliens and life beyond earth has been a mystery for a long time. Many people and scientist have been looking for life outside of Earth, or just floating in the sky trying to get video of it. For all of human history we have been looking for extraterrestrial life, and these are the major events of finding, debunking, and moving forward to life on earth

The Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence(SETI) has been searching for life for more than fifty years and have yet to find anything (Waldrop 442). SETI has ran on $2.5 million annual costs from powerful telescopes to hundreds of dishes worldwide and have managed to find no signs of other life forms (Waldrop 444). The search of life outside of Earth remains to be unanswered and now many ask, where are they? Through SETI’s large budget and expensive equipment the possibility of life on other planets becomes very slim. However, the lack of evidence for any possible forms of life does not justify the possibility of life forming in other unobservable places. The possibilities of life formation in other solar systems can be countless. In “Where Are They?,” Nick Bostrom states that there are over 100 billion galaxies in what we can observe of the universe and our galaxy alone has 100 billion stars (Bostrom 2). This alone provides the reason to believe that somewhere in our observable universe there are many planets with similar conditions and probability of life forming. It took Earth approximately 3.5 billion years to allow life to form that started with single celled prokaryotes to humans (Bostrom 3). The prokaryotes only formed after earth provided an ideal state in which life could be formed. It is also known that many of the galaxies contain stars and planets much older than ours (Bostrom 2). This gives endless amounts of time frames in which life of began in galaxies far way or nearby. The points of evolution become countless within each galaxy, yet the visibility of technological life civilizations like ours is nowhere to be seen. This means there is something preventing these civilizations from passing our current level of civilization. This known as the Great Filter, a theory, in which specific steps are prevented in the timeline of the evolution of

I don't know why you guys are so obsessed with finding aliens. It's not like we are going to make contact with Extraterrestrials, at least in our lifetime. Over 500 Exo-Planets discover and not a single of them contains alien life.

If only human lives in the universe，it's kind of wasting space. Therefore, I definitely believe that there is some extraterrestrial life in our Milky Way galaxy. It is so hard to find extraterrestrial life. The earth appeared billions of years ago, but it takes so many years to have humans live on the earth. To compare the time, human is just living thousands of years. So extraterrestrial life may be already extinct or not appear yet.

There was a time when man thought that the Earth was a flat disc at the center of the universe which everything revolved around. As time progressed, humanity learned that the Earth was in fact round and that it revolved around the sun along with other planets in our solar system. Man then came to realize that the stars they saw in the night sky had planets revolving around them as well, and that all of these stars were in a collection known as a galaxy. Time passed and we came to realize that our galaxy is just one of billions in the larger universe. As time progresses, we learn more and more about the universe we live in, and yet one question still lingers, a question that is much more personal to

Since the beginning of time man has searched the sky in wonder. Is there life on other planets? Are there other galaxies? How did we get here? People have claimed to seen ufos and aliens for decades. There has been crop circles, photographs, and multiple encounters. However, there is no physical evidence that alien life forms exist.

With over one billion trillion stars in our universe, each with the ability to house a different planet, the question of does life exist anywhere else is quite short-sighted. Nonetheless, there’s still a considerable amount of disagreements when it comes to the question, ‘Are we alone?’ The existence of life somewhere besides earth, with evidence of water and ancient life on Mars, the potential of Europa, and the discovery of TRAPPIST-1, is highly plausible.

For thousands of years astronomers have been observing the skies in awe, discovering the complex facts of our Universe. From the uncovering of a Sun centered Solar System, to the theory of the constant expansion of the Universe, this quick astronomical research advancement has made it possible to dig even deeper into the complex state of our Universe. With this constant discovery of facts, there is one question that boggles many people’s minds: could there be life elsewhere in the Universe? In the following pages, I will expand on the subject of exoplanets, which are planets that orbit a star outside of our Solar System . For the purpose of this research paper, I will only concentrate the findings in our Galaxy, the Milky Way. I will expand on what exactly makes a planet habitable, on exoplanets, on goldilocks planets and on the research involved in finding planets with life.

Did you know that Astrobiology means the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future life of life in the universe, this being said this gets into the first question many people have about life outside of our planet, Earth. Do you think we will ever find life outside ours? While we are always looking for indicators we aren't always so lucky with receiving them. Scientist believe that, life outside of our life would use technology similar to

Perhaps the reason there has been no evidence of life for is because we assume that these life forms inherently have a need to colonize. While we, as people, tend to formulate theories and ideas based on how humans (Homo sapiens) function and the things we observe. Though that is perfectly reasonable, it's hardly a viable way to conceptualize the possibility of life forms in an infinite universe. It's narrow-minded and would not be able to wrap around the vastness of the topic. We assume that these possible life forms have a similar psychological pattern as we do, take as much as possible, colonize as much as possible. Perhaps there is intelligent life out there with adequate space travel technology that simply does not have the same motive as, say, Europeans during the age of exploration. Maybe colonizing is not the goal of whatever space travel agency happens to exist on those planets holding life with space travel technology is not simply motivated to colonize. It's not impossible that they simply travel to enjoy the beauty of the universe, much like tourists traveling the word. Not all tourists who travel are looking to settle, not all space-traveling extra-terrestrial life forms are looking to

The question of whether life exists beyond our own planet Earth has intrigued humanity since the earliest of times. However, until the last half-century, mankind lacked any useful technology to even attempt to answer the question. Over the last 50 years the onset of advanced rocketry and guided space probes has changed our perspective about the possible existence of life elsewhere in our solar system. Thanks to the innovative exploratory work of advanced space probes, we now know that conditions on certain planetary satellites in our solar system could potentially support life. Such technology has so advanced our understanding of the prospect of life beyond earth that it has given rise to the field of astrobiology, which is an interdisciplinary field dedicated to the study of life elsewhere in the universe.

Researchers have also found strong evidence of microbial life systems present on Mars’s surface. If there would be anywhere besides Earth where life could flourish, it would Mars. My presentation will also thoroughly cover this evidence confirming that we are not alone in the universe, let alone the solar system. Aliens may exist.

However the universe is vast and the possibility of no life out there is pretty remote. If life can emerge on one celestial body, then surely it will evolve on other worlds given the right set of circumstances.

The argument suggesting life existing on other Earth-like planets has been present since man first looked into space and questioned his own existence and the existence of others like him. Today there are many theories on the existence of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, but only one theory goes beyond them and into an even larger realm. The contents of this theory, known as the “multiverse” theory, suggest that humans on Earth live within one universe of many others that reside within a primordial vacuum containing many other universes (Jenkins and Perez). Each of these universes possesses potentially different natural constants and physical laws that govern them differently, thus calling forth some logical questions. First,
