I know this subject doesn't technically come under politics to day the least but I'd thought it would be an interesting topic in itself.

For centuries scientists and astronomers have been trying to figure out wether there are other lifeforms and planets that exist in our solar system. There are probably thousands of solar systems that have not yet been explored. A lot of scientists have been studying radio waves in space to see whether other life could be potentially communicating with us. In fact they have found I think another planet that resembles Earth and could be potentially another Earth that us humans could colonise in the near future.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and whether you think that we are truly not alone than we think we are or are there other life forms or species we haven't found yet. What kind of planets would you want to find too.

    to be fair if WE exist as lifeforms, there's gotta be some other aliens out there LOL

    Same here as well because I think that would be so cool if there were other lifeforms and aliens out there. It would be so funny if Star Wars was actually Canon in our universe πŸ˜‚

    Good question @Amy22 (and don't worry, this is the right place for a debate!). I'd agree with @slovie - given the size of the universe and the number of planets we've already identified as having the potential to host life, it's probable that life exists elsewhere in the universe.

    If it does, most of them are likely quite simple organisms, because the combination of climate conditions that are needed to develop more complex creatures like humans are quite narrow. But the idea that there could be another species out there that could be intelligent enough to communicate with Earth is both terrifying and exciting - as you'd expect when it comes to the huge unknowns of the universe!
