People keep saying that, but then... the universe is supposed to be infinitely massive. If it's infinite then it must also hold an infinite number of possibilities, which means anything should be possible. The fact one of those possibilities happened just fits in with the way the universe works. The more we realize the true scale of this thing the more we start to think it's entirely possible that it's happened twice, or more, or even an infinite number of times. After all, there's evidence that life could exist on Titan. Microscopic bacterial life maybe, but life nonetheless... and Titan is damn close compared to the rest of the universe.
They found a planet that is more than likely covered entirely by water. Like a giant ocean planet. Google it.. I don't remember the name of it. We all know what water is composed of... so high chance of life. If the planet exists...
Ah. Just checkin'. I knew about the water on Mars. And the moon. It'd be kinda cool to establish some kind of colony on either Mars or the moon just in case everything hits the fan down here on Earth. Easy, too, since we wouldn't have to haul all that water.
FLAMING: Yu r gay lololololol Well the water needs intense filtration, along with warmth. Its cold out there man. The price for transportation, filtration, and heat makes it FAR too impractical.
Since we've kinda moved onto the universe as well, let's all look at this and have our minds blown: Furthest photo ever taken Every speck of light in this photo is an entire galaxy. They formed just 600 million years after the Big Bang, which brought the cosmos into existence 14 billion years ago - making the galaxies 13.4 billion years old. Each light year is about six trillion miles. Every time I see that I get a new WTF moment.
Then think of the billions(?) solar systems in the galaxies....then the planets in them And then remember that this picture is actually a couple billion years old...
Well... is it possible that a galaxy can contain smaller galaxies inside of it? Concluding that all these galaxies can make up one galaxy... which is in another galaxy... and infinity of that...
Well I don't think it's possible for a galaxy to be inside another, but it is possible for several of them to be joined. I read that some where (not on the internet )... But the infinite part, you're thinking of the universe
As the universe has expanded the light from the galaxies has shifted from visible to infrared wavelengths that cannot be detected by the naked eye. However, they can be captured by a new highly sensitive camera on the Hubble Space Telescope. This composite image was built up from separate exposures over 48 hours. Three filters were used to sample broad wavelength ranges in the near infrared and were assigned the colours blue, green and red. The faintest red objects in the images are about one billionth as bright as can be seen with the eye and are also the furthest away. British astronomers helped to analyse the infrared images, which include a region of sky called the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. Dr Daniel Stark, from the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge, said: 'Hubble has now revisited the Ultra Deep Field which we first studied five years ago, taking infrared images which are more sensitive than anything obtained before. We can now look even further back in time, identifying galaxies when the universe was only 5 per cent of its current age - within one billion years of the Big Bang.' A new successor to Hubble, the James Webb Telescope, due to be launched in 2014, will study the galaxies in even more detail.
Okay, so not easy, per se; rather easier. It would cost much, much more to transport water as well if we were to support a colony on another planet. Heat: All that room on the planet for solar panels. No major storms to block the sun's rays. Generates energy that can be used for heating. Transportation and filtration:... I ave absolutely no idea on this one. Ah, so I have no idea what the crap I'm talking about. But in a few decades, this prospect may not be so far off as it is now.
