How far away is the next nearest life form to people or humans, with a great amount of intelligence? That is to say other than what is here on Earth. This topic is often kicked around in scientific circles much to the chagrin of religious followers. Recently this topic re-surfaced in a most unusually place; an online think tank and forum, where a think tanker stated in the form of a question:
How far is the gap between Solar Systems? Is it like random islands distant from each other in the middle of the Pacific Ocean?
The think tanker was eluding to the fact that if there is some life in each solar system of various types and they are so far apart, then most of the life has evolved on its own. Thus similar life to that on Earth might be extremely far apart. It was further discussed that the Voyager Exploration unit which has now left the solar system has changed speed now that it has left into the void of interstellar space.
Indeed this finding of either gravity distribution, density of space, changes our whole set of values in terms of distance and light years doesnt it? Things maybe much different than they appear from our limited viewpoint and perspective here.
Such hypotheticals of types of other life on other worlds is interesting and perhaps my thoughts are that there is every type of life you can imagine out there and then some. After all from what we can see, there is a whole lot out there meaning a whole lot of possibilities. Perhaps you have thoughts on such things, if not do consider all this sometime in 2006.
