[QUOTE]Originally posted by Daniel Butler: [QB] I agree with Hopeful. Like I said, there could be life made of things we can't even directly perceive. Or even if there is life made of matter like us, they could be intelligent nebulae, stars, or the like. There could be beings made of energy - not in the Trek glowing ball sense, but in the sense of somehow intelligent patterns of movement or heat in massive objects. Even supposing there was life just like us, a la most of sci fi, if it's more advanced than we are it could still go undetected, and if it's not, then it's no wonder they haven't visited us yet. Also, assuming the life of the universe is finite, it's going to last a *very* long time anyway, and even if there were a trillion species achieving sentience before us, we're *still* one of the oldest. The universe has still been around less than 20 billion years after all. In another hundred trillion that's going to seem like the beginning of time. [/QB][/QUOTE]
