UM-Bot Posted April 19, 2017 #1 Share Posted April 19, 2017 A large terrestrial planet located 40 light years away could be the perfect place to search for ET. http://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/306709/super-earth-is-best-chance-for-finding-life 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted April 20, 2017 #2 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Considering how "close" this planet is, if there was a advanced civilization, they would have sent signals back to usu nless they think the signals we send out are static. Can we call it Krypton or Daxam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, hypothetically speaking of course. If they are far more advanced than us, and have already observed us from afar. Then maybe they'd rather avoid our species all together. Lets face it, from their point of view, I doubt we come over as a very friendly bunch. Or maybe, they aren't as advanced as we are...therefore don't have the same technology as we do to send out / receive signals yet. I guess it's also possible, that the planet might also be teaming with different types of teeny organisms. Either way, there are many exciting times ahead for space exploration with the new discoveries that await us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taniwha Posted April 20, 2017 #4 Share Posted April 20, 2017 It's likely covered in forests of amphibious seaweed. Good luck communicating with that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paperdyer Posted April 20, 2017 #6 Share Posted April 20, 2017 @Astra - That did cross my mind about another civilization not want to bothered by us humans. That's my typical response to this type of srticle. I was just trying to be a bit more positive than usual. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uber Doubter Posted April 20, 2017 #7 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) It's always this talk about finding alien life. We should be more concerned with finding places to escape to, when **** hits the fan and this rock becomes inhabitable. If there is any alien life forms out there, chances are we'd better steer clear of them anyway. The notion that "highly advanced equals benevolent" is questionable. If we met some other species, it would probably boil down to "us or them". Edited April 20, 2017 by Uber Doubter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their maths don't add up but the equation goes like this.. Red dwarf = uninhabitable / lifeless planet. Edited April 20, 2017 by taniwha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bison Posted April 21, 2017 #10 Share Posted April 21, 2017 This star, LHS 1140, is over 400 million years older than the Sun. That's quite a lot of time for life more advanced than ourselves to develop. Being so nearby, an advanced species living on a planet of that star would probably have long known of our existence. If they wished us harm, why has Earth remained intact and unconquered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiXilver Posted April 21, 2017 #11 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I must be different, as I don't even remotely assume that our human manner of existence is somehow the standard of quality or advancement of existences. Not even on our own biosphere would I place us in the top 10,000 species for advanced and quality existence. But then, I don't believe everything I think, so... wait, what were we talking about?...
