after i watched war of the worlds, ive got to thinking. space goes on forever... there must be intelligent species out there somewhere. most likley more intelligent species way more technologically advanced then the we are. they cant look like us obviously, maybe some species can fly and do alll types of weird shit like shoot beams from thier heads. maybe there are some that are just energy and float around aimlessly. its weird to tihnk about isnt it? or maybe im just stoned..

As likely as it is that there are other life forms in the universe, it's equally likely we'll never encounter them. Space is just too damned big.

"Each passing year has seen our estimates of the probability of life in space increase, along with our capabilities of detecting it. More and more scientists feel that contact with other civilizations is no longer something beyond our dreams, but a natural event in the history of mankind that will perhaps occur within the lifetime of many of us..."

Yeah, infinity is a mathematician's wet dream, nothing more.

Expanding infinitely?
I guess that's pretty hard to measure

If you subscribe to the big bang theory, then the universe had a starting point, growing measurably since then. No matter how many times you multiply something by 2, it's still a finite number.

When it stops expanding, and everything is at absolute zero, it still won't even be infinite.

You gotta think to yourself though..
If there's intelligence out there, what the fuck would they want with us?
At best, they'd stripmine our planet and move on.

To study us, and learn from us. Much like we study and learn from animal communities and other "less intelligent" life forms.

So if some devised a way to travel faster than the universe is expanding, and surpassed it, what would happen?

What if we're actually the most advanced species? I mean, it's just as possible that we're the most advanced species and that some day in the future, we'll be the "aliens" we think of in Sci-Fi movies, trying to take over other worlds. I always thought it would be funny if the other species out there were not nearly as advanced as we thought and we ended up being the galactic empire or something

And infinity inside a finite universe does?

One of my most favorite movies of all time. I saw the movie in the theater. I think it was the 2nd time I had ever smoked some awesome ganj, and I was scared shitless while watching this movie. Especially when Dr. Weir cuts out his own eyes and says "Where we're going, you won't need eyes to see!"

You could have infinitely small in a finitely big universe.
I wonder if you could have a finitely small in an infinitely big universe? Probably
