space, death

[somebody someone]

i got real high on some purple haze the other night and my thoughts were all over the place. i was yet again thinking of exsistance and our chances, and thinking about how precise the settings are in order for life to exsist on earth, this confused with the thoughts of inteligent life out theres, lead to more baffling shitty stoner talk...

well there are 2 planets closer to the sun than earth correct? and these planets must have been the same distance from the sun as the earth is now, at one point, so what if there had been previous life such as ours on those planets before, and that life was also only able to servive in the certain climate the earth now posseses. we know one day all life will be wipped out, whos to say that hasnt already happend.

maybe the life that had exsisted before, didnt develope quick enough to escape the planet before theyre world was killed. and so the human race knows nothing of it. maybe i dont know a thing and someone will correct me on these fucked up theories. but anyway, all this thought leads me to the final question, will the human race be the one who manages to escape the enevitable death the 2 planets have already faced, or will we die and be unable to leave any trace that we once ownd this place. will the cycle repeat... or will we be able to develope, and escape in time....

or were the planets never as far away from the sun as we are now.

I highly doubt there was ever life on Mercury or Venus. Mercury has too much solar radiation, and Venus is even hotter than mercury because it's atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide which creates a greenhouse effect, making it the hottest planet it our solar system, and not to mention the surface is mostly made up of an acid.

I do think though that there is intelligent life out there somewhere. It's inevitable, basically sapce is infinite meaning the stars within it must be infinite as well. These stars have planets orbiting around them just like our star does. So with basically an infinite amount of planets, I think it's impossible that our planet is the only one that has intelligent life.

Wait wait the those two planets where always that close to the sun
And life made a home for its self here earth used to be just as shitty as that
life dosn't need certain conditions and settings it adapts to them right?

[Takingsunday21]

There are some things that you must have for life. Earth was never made up of an acid, and we were never blasted by solar radiation constantly.

[Ganj]

there are still so many galaxies that we are unaware of, simply because it's a huge sky and our space program doesn't have the needed funding to get our eyes out there. i to believe there is more. another race exists...

our planets orbit the sun, they don't move towards it...unless there's something i'm missing...

[Takingsunday21]

Yeah, I think he means how our sun is getting brighter which causes it to be hotter. He must be talking about before our sun was so bright, and when it was a lot colder on earth? maybe? I'm not sure what he meant by that but I'd assume that's what he meant.

[somebody someone]

hmmm, i thought that gravity meant all planets were in a constant spiral towards the sun, and i learnt that a long time ago, but if that were the case years wud be getting shorter, daym im dumb

i'm 100% positive that the milky way galaxy as only consisted of the planets we know of...not to mention objects in the universe that are capable of becoming planets. the sun has always been the center of the galaxy and has always been a giant fireball.

...it sounded to me that he thought there was more in the galaxy that has been sucked into the sun...now that i think of it, if a planet with such great mass was sucked into the sun it would cause an explosion so great that our galaxy wouldn't exist anymore.

[somebody someone]

yes, maybe that happend before, and we dont know about it, maybe we are the product of the second or 3rd big bang

[beachguy in thongs]

Supposedly, big bangs have been going on throughout time. The Universe is like a rubber band.

[Takingsunday21]

No, no planets will be drawn into the sun. The sun will explode eventually, destroying everything in our galaxy, but we will never be drawn into it.

[StonedStatus]

even if we are moving closer to the sun, i think nasa or somebody would know about it, there is no way that all of a sudden the earth would fling into the sun unexpectedly. these things take time, over the corse of millions of years, if it was happening, eventually a scientist would find out about it. come on guys the human race isn't that dumb. give us a lil more credit. if something like this was to happen it would be over the corse of millions of years and i would believe we would have found a way to avoid it

[tokosan]

By the time any of that happens, which will be in billions of years, humans will have already spread to other planets... I mean look how far we have come since industrialization.... atomic bombs, skyskrapers, and going to the moon.... we have millions or billions untill the earth will die... plenty of time.

[papaw]

What if C-A-T really spelled "dog"?

[NightProwler]

what if taco bell stopped making tacos?
