Intelligent Life on Other Planets

We all wonder whether there is life on other planets in the universe and if there are aliens on earth. We live in a galaxy consisting of nine planets. All the nine planets consist of different elements. According to scientists discovery, only earth is capable of supporting life. Earth consists of water, land, and air, the element needed to support life. There are other theories that suggest that there may be intelligent life on other planets in other solar systems. Intelligent life refers to life that does not exist on earth. (Birness & William, 2012)

According to scientists Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking, alien life exists outside the galaxy. Some kinds of bacteria and molecules were discovered in other planets like Venus and Mars. (Hawkings, 2001) According to the argument, the earth is not in a special location to support life. There is a possibility of other habitable planets in the universe. For an intelligent life to exist, there must be an existence of a habitable zone and other elements. (Sagan, 1977)

For many years, scientists have tried to discover other habitable zones with no lack. According to science, the farthest man has been able to go is at the moon. There has been claims that planet Mars consist of elements that may support life. There are no scientific prove suggesting the existence of intelligence life in other planets. (Birness & William, 2012)

There are many theories and suggestions suggesting that there are aliens living within planet earth. The existence of aliens is still unknown to people. Some people suggest that they have seen aliens spaceships or flying saucers in the sky. Some claims were dimmed as false while others as the government equipment. People have given allegations that governments are hiding aliens from the people and that they are experimenting on them. There are no evidences or scientific proofs in the claims of aliens. (Herbst & Judith, 2005)

The questions of whether intelligent life in other planets exists are still an unanswerable question. All we have are theories and suggestions. There are principles and methods built to enable people to discover more from the planets. The anthropic argument is a principle built in order to calculate the time needed for evolution of a planet. Scientists are still trying to find ways to answer questions about the existence of extraterrestrial life. (Carter, 1983)
