Seth Shostak: ET is (probably) out there -- get ready | Video on TED.com
Also makes you realize that there are probably much more advance races out there :O

That was quite entertaining! Thanks for sharing the link!

Quite a fun journey ... Now back to reality.
NEVER GOING TO REACH FARTHEST THAN PLUTO.

To think, we're made of the stuff that is out there... And our lives are but a picosecond in the greater scope.

No, our lives are on the order of years. Just because the scale is gigantic doesn't mean you get to be inaccurate.

That is pretty hard to comprehend how large our universe really is.

I wonder if it's never ending ...

I wonder if it's never ending ...

To me it must be. I don't see how there would be some spot where you just can't go past. Though who knows, maybe there is some "end" to everything.

Thanks for the share, its interesting .

Also the smallest object is the "Space Time Fabric" Ripping it off would be like ripping off reality

Interesting, took me like 5 minutes to zoom all the way in. If Kim Jong's penis was on that scale you'd have to zoom in for like 50 days.

That's very interesting. I personally don't think that there is anything more advanced than us humans currently. I just don't believe in extraterrestrials. Why? Well, look at it this way.

Though, I think Science, and this in general opens everyone's mind.. I mean.. WHY is it that Earth is such a perfect planet that we have a perfect system of life? How is it possible that OXYGEN is here, an atmosphere, and how is it we ended up here? We have a full living system. Animals. Isn't it that if Earth was a few thousand KMs closer to the sun we'd all burn up? How is it that Earth is such in a PERFECT position to give us, humans, a perfect living condition?

Now, I'm going kind of.. extraterrestrial kind of talk here right now, but..

Your parents. They have sex, and they make a kid. Now, how are YOU able to control yourself. Just, look at it from someone else's perspective. How am I, me? How am I able to type this message right now? How was my "soul" put into THIS body? Why wasn't I my best friend? It's odd, isn't it? Now, what if your parents never had you? Would you end up as someone else? Would you never be alive? It's all so weird, if you open your mind up.

Now, us as Humans still don't know how we are here. Hell, some people say we evolved from cells, some say we evolved from apes and monkeys. Though, how would we adapt from apes and monkeys? Yes, they are almost exactly like us.. But, how would THEY transform into US? If you look at it in the big picture, there is quite a significant difference between us.

Once again, going into another "talk", but.. We seem to be the only animal / mammal that can actually communicate. How do we talk? Who invented English? I mean, who invented words, and their meanings? You think someone just wrote some words down and we called it English? Because there are so many words, with so many different meanings. Yes, English came from Latin, and other languages, but.. It's not like they didn't need definitions for their words.

Lets put it this way, So for example you're making an experiment and you are trying to achieve it in multiple test at once. Think of the universe that way, think of the earth as an experiment that succeeded and many more like us succeeded.

Your brain is what makes you, you. Not your "soul".
In my opinion I believe it is imposssible for us to be the only intelligent beings in this universe, if you take a look there are billions of galaxies and those billions of galaxies have billions of planets, so if you times like a trillion by a billion that's how many planets there might be, probably more. If you expect one tiny spec of sand compared to the universe to be the only thing in the universe with intelligent life, you sir need to go sit down and rethink what life is.
