Today, even a 5 years old kid knows about the universe. Everyone would agree that the universe is the space outside our planet, for some it is just the stars and the darkness in the sky. Yet, we know so little as to what the universe is in reality. Physicist around the world theorize that the universe is expanding, that it contains something called black energy, and that we might live in some giant void, but what is the meaning of all this with relation to the existence of the universe? What is the true nature of the Universe? This seems simple questions that someday some astronomer would come to answer, but they are not simple at all and the answer is beyond the knowledge of any living human in the present and in the past.

Intelligent Life in the Universe

My question: Is there any other intelligent life in the universe, besides humans?

The universe is limitless, infinitely large; almost too large to comprehend. How is it possible that humans are thought of as the only "intelligent" life in the entire universe? It is almost selfish to believe that we are superior and unique to everything in the cosmos. Humans are often believed to have been created by something divine, by God.  If God has created us for us to "love and serve him", then why wouldn't he want to create other beings to also love and serve him with humans?

An equation was created by a man named Frank Drake that determines the possibility of intelligent life.

 

 Frank Drake's own current estimate puts the number of communicating civilizations in the galaxy at 10,000.

How is it possible that we have never communicated with another civilization when there is 10,000 other forms of intelligent life in our galaxy?

While I was researching about space, I was reminded of what we learned in geometry about dimensions.  In geometry, we saw a video called "Flatland" and in this video, we explored the

Recently, I've been thinking that space has to have some sort of end or beginning.

In this video clip, Mars is discussed about how it was changing through time.  Back then, they thought Mars might be "dead" but now, we're discovering water and slight forms of life.

My interest in space was sparked by going to the Museum of Natural History in the space part of the museum.  My favorite part of the museum was the watching a short animated video about space
