The chances of US (human beings) being the ONLY lifeform in all of space is highly unlikely... think about it scientists are finding new and newer stars that they haven't known of before.
as for aliens coming here, so be it what is RS gonna do? sacrifice arash :troll:
just like if 2012 happens we cannot do anything or anyone else.

Hopefully they'll announce that this ship has shown up in images

and not this ship

I say they probably found bacteria or something...

I think they're gonna announce registration for Star Fleet Academy

no one ever thinks of the possibility that our species could be the most sophisticated organism in the whole universe. could it be that people like to think that there's some greater species out there that would come to earth and, hopefully, share their technology with us?

Leaked? http://gizmodo.com/5704158/

People don't think that we're the most sophisticated organism in the universe, because the likelihood of that being the case is negligible. Also, we're not that sophisticated, we just have over inflated egos as humans.

What are you talking about im in it already

fox news fail lol

http://video.foxnews.com/v/4444633/l...nd-near-saturn

to start off... "experts calculating and speculating" .....? WTF
then scroll to 2:24.... "the martian moon of Titan"....

Michael Kaku better be paid to be on faux news...

Bacteria

Retardedly out of context. They didn't find anything out in space.

They found a bacteria in CALIFORNIA which uses an arsenic backbone instead of the phosphodiester links in DNA.

This is however pretty cool how a new form of DNA structure was discovered... Proved my textbooks all wrong :D

official conference in 2 minutes! gonna watch it in class and scream out loud (its the last class anyways)

that would be sweet if someone ate the bacteria and then there was a zombie era. i think were due for one of one!

always wanted zombie invasion to happen :D

Not really out of context. It absolutely is "an astrobiology finding that will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life."

i'm not watching the live stream but from what i'm reading it can use arsenic as nutrient..so not as impressive as what gizmodo is saying that it's DNA make up consists of arsenic.

based on national geographics

"A new species of bacteria found in California's Mono Lake is the first known life-form that uses arsenic to make its DNA and proteins, scientists announced today"

The chemistry guy was pretty interesting, mentioning how unstable arsenic would be in terms of chaining up on Earth, as opposed to phosphorus. He also mentions that arsenic might be beneficial in colder places like Saturn's moon Titan.

updated the intial post.

Nope. It is indeed what gizmodo leaked, they were just horribly undetailed about it.

The paper was released shortly after the press conference started: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/ea...97258.abstract

If you look at the bigger picture, humans are still extremely primitive. On a scale of 1 to 10, if 1 was caveman and 10 was everything we could probably amount to....we're probably a 2 at this point in time.

Anyone who thinks we are the pinnacle of intelligent lifeforms is kidding themselves. Right now, we can barely get over the fact we all have different skin colours... or have the unity to not send out scam donation emails during world disasters...

And look at the time it takes for us to think a thought, to actually communicating it through text, or speech, or how we can barely control the simplest lifeforms, like bacteria, or even fruit flies lol. Our main weaponry, firearms, since being invented like 700 or 800 years ago, really hasn't changed that much yet; from medieval cannon, to lead ball musket to a magazine fed assault rifle; it still relies on the same basic principles. We have a long way to go.

Modern looking humans appeared about 200,000 years ago. This whole time, 200,000 years, we've been learning, building, inventing stuff, we've progressed to where we are today. So I wonder what we'll be like in another 200,000 years from now...maybe then we can call ourselves a supreme lifeform.

I just gained acceptance into the Vulcan Science Academy.

First human ...EVER

Nice congrats. good luck with them trying to invoke your emotions. Heard its pretty bad in your first year

you do know that one of the reasons astronomers find new stars they've never seen before is because the light from the star hasn't traveled to earth yet?

i guess we will be poisoned if we ingest these bacteria then :troll:
