Despite the relatively new frenzy to find extraterrestrial life in the universe after astronomers discovered water to exist on a number of celestial bodies over the years, research shows that the only place aliens can be “found” are on bone-chilling late-night documentaries of UFO sightings.
According to exhaustive analysis performed by a team of scientists at Penn State University (PSU), absolutely no sign of highly advanced extraterrestrial lifeforms exist in the known universe — at least 100,000 galaxies of it, that is.
A lonely frontier
In their latest virtual expedition through space, scientists have used all of their high-tech gadgetry to come up empty-handed — to the dismay of many who claim that human intelligence has spawned from alien lifeforms.
“The researchers used observations from NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), an unmanned satellite carrying an infrared-sensitive telescope that is exploring the entire universe by collecting infrared light that comes to Earth,” WorldMag.com reports. “The scientists believe a galaxy with intelligent life would have technologies that would produce detectable infrared wavelengths, but 100 million data entries showed nothing.”

It seems we have plenty of "Aliens" in these United States.
25% of Mexico is alien here.
Naw, not the White House, couldn't be.
Linked article “does not exist.”

I believe.
If these are the same scientist who will lie about global warming when if ever will they tell the truth and how would anyone know?
Wonder if aliens disrupted my link?
Fermi asked circa 1943;”Where are they?” There has yet to be an answer to his question.
Say Whut?
Every entity in the universe must obey the laws of physics. It is simply not possible for a biological or mechanical entity to travel intact and functional to the nearest star. Given the expanse of the universes with hundreds of billions of galaxies, there is a likelihood that there is intelligent life somewhere beyond Earth. They can never physically visit us or us them. However Earth has been transmitting large amounts of analog data for the past one hundred years and huge amounts of logarithmic digital data for over thirty years. It is quite possible an advanced civilization which in turn is linked electronically with other advanced distant worlds, have heard us and is sending a reply. Perhaps in the next fifty years some wondrous communications complete with images from multiple worlds will “infect” a computer near you.
Question: Why is Carl Sagan so lonely? (pick one)(a) Sagan is lonely because, as a true devotee of science, a noble and reliable method of attaining knowledge, he feels increasingly isolated in a world in which, as Bronowski has said, there is a failure of nerve and men seem willing to undertake anything other than the rigors of science and believe anything at all: in Velikovski, von Daniken, even in Mr. and Mrs. Barney Hill, who reported being captured and taken aboard a spaceship in Vermont.
(b) Sagan is lonely because, after great expectations, he has not discovered ETIs in the Cosmos, because chimpanzees don't talk, dolphins don't talk, humpback whales sing only to other humpback whales, and he has heard nothing but random noise from the Cosmos, and because Vikings 1 and 2 failed to discover evidence of even the most rudimentary organic life in the soil of Mars.
(c) Sagan is lonely because, once everything in the Cosmos, including man, is reduced to the sphere of immanence, matter in interaction, there is no one left to talk to except other transcending intelligences from other worlds.-- from Walker Percy's Lost In The Cosmos: The Last Self-Help Book
To be effective the hat needs to be grounded.
We are NOT alone.
GOD, The Creator is everywhere.
Recently it was claimed that 90% of all stars are in a dense enough galaxy to be suceptible to life extinguishing gammay ray bursts. That factor alone cuts down the chances of life out there to "very unlikely".
My own guess is that if we ever do find life out there, it will be on the order of pond scum, not civilizations. And while it may be unique, it will be indistinguishable from life here, in that it will used DNA, protiens, etc, the way life does here.
Is it me or am I wrong that 100 million data entries cannot cover 100,000 galaxies? Also, why do cosmologists think that another civilization would emit infrared light waves? They always think in our limited understanding of space and time which change according to the latest theory. String theory is still a theory, based on math equations.
But then there is creation by design. However, I have a problem why the creator would create such an expanse for just one tiny sand grain to evolve into sentient beings. But then, maybe he/it just threw out the Singularity to see what would develop? No one knows and I believe possibly never will.
Hey, I was standing in a puddle of water, what could go wrong?
“Hey, I was standing in a puddle of water, what could go wrong? “
Yellow?
Another question is how long does infrared travel in space before it is absorbed by interstellar dust? Eventually it would get absorbed and re-emitted, which would "fog up" the ability to see the real source.
LOL! I think you’re onto something.
