General

im in love with an alien, anyone?

Don't expect life on this planet any time in our life time or your great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandkid's lifetime.

Can't we already travel like 60 000km/h maximum? It's 20 light years away. We could get to the planet by continuous multiplying on the space craft or whatever. Rightttttt, it's only a 100 year trip.

South Park anyone? lol

i wanna meet people/creatures on the plant . c:

Ok

We naturally destroy this planet then move to that planet and if there is life we kill and dissect and keep them as pets and slowly kill the planet

[b]ALRIGHT LETS GO![/b]

That's not.. strange at all..
._.

nuke it.

[quote=Tumblr]I can tell it's photo shopped because of the pixels.

actually if this is real, I'm quiet exited for it...
but I'll be dead by the time they even talk about trying to send a robot there.[/quote]

Oh the picture is fake for sure lol. They probably don't have anything presentable for us to see yet.

And yeah, although we're all excited for this, we're gona be dead by then -.- It's gona take them several generations just to send a ship there, and imagine how long it'll take to arrive.
Who knows, the ship might be destroyed upon arriving hah.

@kappoliffy: Need that energy for Facebook and watching por------ I mean Maplestory.

@kappoliffy: Lmao, that works too.
And while we run, we make electricity used to make fire to make more ramen!

k great let's drop a human on the planet and see if it lives

@kappoliffy: You sir, are a genius.
But isn't it unhealthy to eat instant ramen and water for 3000 years? We'll need a giant tank with water.
-Getting a calculator to do fail math-
About a gallon of water a week, 52 weeks a year, 52 gallons a year
52 gallons multiplied by 3000 is 156k gallons of water?

Well if there is life out there... Intelligent life that is, we already sent A Message From Earth towards there.
If they respond, we'll know by 2049 or something.

[quote=Classicvibe]The number of planets out there is like 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

anyways, if there really turns out to be life there, the religious peeps rejecting evolution will get their butts kicked big time.... of course until they find some extremely obscure passage from the Bible that "explains" it all.[/quote]

Maybe if you read the whole thing, you will find that extremely obscure passage you want.

I think the temperature doesn't really matter. We, as humans managed to change so that we can live on the planet that we live in right now. If that planet also excists for millions of years and has also a population that thru those millions of years changed to the way the planet is. Why wouldnt they be able to live in that heat or cold?

Wow that's so exciting!
<imagination fills brain>

@kappoliffy: Yay! You provide the spaceship, I provide 3000 years worth of dried up space food.

This is a nice "first step", but it's nowhere near being proven to be able to support life, let alone intelligent life.

The chances of that are so remote as to be almost negligible. The Earth is extremely unique in the combination of advantages it has going for it, which it's extremely unlikely to be repeated very often.

But it's a good start.

[quote=kappoliffy]Nexon must know about other life then..
Nexown'd[/quote]

Nope, it will be run by Noxen, an entirely opposite company from Nexon. They even have good customer service.

Ah I just saw this on TV as I was rushing out the door. Thanks for posting!

"Where you goin' for the summer?"
"Goldilocks to see my uncle"

o_o

new planets and stars are being discovered every day, i'm not surprised.

It'll be funny if their humans play Maplestory too, but in different versions.

[quote=LEGENDairy]I saw that too. But its going to be like Mercury. One side is boiling hot, the other is freezing cold.[/quote]
No, from what I read, the "terminator area" as in line between night and perma day is -30 to +12 celsius. So not that bad at all. For sun and night sides I don't know. There could be species that can live there though(I mean hell, there's life in very deepest places of sea too).

[quote=ElitistMan]They have discovered several Earth like planets before, so this is nothing new really.

There's an error in that article by the way it says um "With an estimated 200 billion stars in the universe, that means maybe 40 billion planets that have the potential for life." There's an estimated 200 billion stars in a Galaxy, not the Universe. And an estimated 200 billion Galaxies. So the amount of stars would be a number we can't even comprehend.[/quote]

4*10^22 stars. *Comprehends*

We've been using much larger numbers in school.

@aznseal: I clicked the link, looked at the pictures, didn't read the text, was planning on reading everything tomorrow and was pretty sure it wasn't a real picture.

[quote=Orange]If those pics are real, which I doubt, that planet looks way cooler and way less-polluted than ours. O.o
Ima go there I think. [/quote]

"artist rendering"

If those pics are real, which I doubt, that planet looks way cooler and way less-polluted than ours. O.o
Ima go there I think.

if we come there we will destroy it just like earth

[quote=vengeance251]''Temperatures can be as hot as 160 degrees or as frigid as 25 degrees below zero''

160 degrees? Water boils at 100 degrees... say hello to boiling humans! -_-[/quote]

What if they're adapted to that temperature?

There is also an earth-like planet but four times the size of our planet. I want to go there some day.

@above, Titan actually has an atmosphere and you can walk around with only a thin space suit compared to the bulky ones you need for the moon. Hell, you could wear a trash bag on Titan. We would be fried by the sun's rays on our moon.

@MagicUpChuck: I saw the orbital period but not the axis rotation. But anyway, I admit I'm wrong (or my sources).

160 degrees one side... -25 degree other side... a thin line in the middle that is fine..
Hmm totally seems habitable... Unless they were referring to other beings capable of living under those circumstances... cuz surely we can't.

@MagicUpChuck: No the article said that the planet didn't spin on an axis, so one side would always experience day while the other always night.

@MagicUpChuck: I read a different version of the article. They might have chopped that part out.

[quote=Frozenvarice]would it be possible to design a probe that would run using the sun's energy and a very large power source and have it travel that distance? I mean unless its farther away from the sun than we are then as it progress it will build up enough energy possibly enough to fuel it for that distance? although I guess that there isnt enough fuel (gas/oil) to burn through to propel it, but wouldnt it also be possible to create a driver that released an energy in a sense that it could work? idk im writing mindless ideas based off no information[/quote]
i have no knowledge of space travel, but I do believe it's much more complicated than that.

They have their own version of MS.
Wut.

would it be possible to design a probe that would run using the sun's energy and a very large power source and have it travel that distance? I mean unless its farther away from the sun than we are then as it progress it will build up enough energy possibly enough to fuel it for that distance? although I guess that there isnt enough fuel (gas/oil) to burn through to propel it, but wouldnt it also be possible to create a driver that released an energy in a sense that it could work? idk im writing mindless ideas based off no information

[quote=xPlaydohx]Galaxy war I[/quote]

Quick! We must form the Grand Army of the Republic!

I saw that too. But its going to be like Mercury. One side is boiling hot, the other is freezing cold.

[quote=funneh]and then a meteor hits it[/quote]

No. We go to it. Make children fats. And hate people that doesn't speak the english.

[quote=joyjinche]The chances for a planet meeting all the requirements to sustain life is 0.000000000000000000000000000000001%.[/quote]

The number of planets out there is like 1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Their version of trolls might even be better than ours.

Here's another [url=http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/earth-like-exoplanet-possibly-habitable-100929.html]Link[/url]

Now we know where the aliens who will destroy us came from

amirite?

Hmm... they have already found several super earths so I wouldn't be surprised.

wow.. imagine another planet filled with people that was wondering the same thing as us
scary

That's kinda scary... wasn't there a movie like where our earth was fake and the real humans had psycho powers?
