Discussion Life in the Universe

Do you hate the fact that we may be the only living Humans in the Universe? Like winning the Lottery Jackpot

Yes
Everything is too complicated now.

I doubt it very much. Scientist generally believe now that if you see it once, there's lots of it. First we thought we we're the centre of the only solar system, then we learned we are nothing unique or special, then we believed the galaxy was the universe, then again learned our galaxy is one in 100's of billions. We need to just learn our lesson and stop with this narcissistic view of the universe. There are likely many more universes and life is common.

The only humans, yes, but I highly doubt we're the only 'intelligent' life-forms in existence or to have existed.

I am in awe when I think about it and how small we are in the great scheme of things.

It's mostly other (certain) humans and societal factors that contribute to my wish to die.

 

[Chiisai]

Only living humans? Yes. However, if you meant to say only living beings well I doubt it. Yes Earth is the only known planet to host "life" but its life as humans know it not extraterrestrial. It might not even be just the difference between environment but also possibility of existing outside observable plane.

 

[Life sucks]

I hate how the universe is capable of abiogenesis and creating life regardless of the space-time variable and what species.

 

[Al Cappella]

Humans maybe, but the numbers of galaxies and suns with rocky planets are so huge there's no way there isn't other intelligent life out there. Unless the great filter thing is true

 

[Luchs]

I kind of feel special for it. I hate it, I don't want to be special, I don't want the burden of preserving life in the universe to rest on our backs.

 

[Squalo]

I hate the fact that I will never see all the infinite wonders of the universe, because I am an insignificant being stuck on this crap planet.

 

[markimobzzdeasui]

No. But I absolutely hate the fact that no one will truly understand the true purpose of life and existence as by then we will be gone. We can say that science in few decades or maybe centuries may able to decode major mysteries surrounding life but that won't be me or all the people who will be dead by then. It just sucks to know that you live and suffer all for nothing.
