Yes, of course there's life out there even most of my religious pals agree on that. Since space i vast and infinite in EVERYWAY (Yes in anyway possible, even in the most twisted adnormal ways) That there's also an equally infinite chance that you (Not you, you. But like a clone) existing Trillions of light years away, you'll have the same name, age, eye colour and speak the same language and also share the same memories; This is highly possible since the chances are again infinite to infinite.

A cool thought is that there is a planet, very like our own earth, that have had a child been selected to be a wizard, Harry potter? Yes. infinite chance that witchcraft exists somewhere in some form.

in terms of being 'watched'? Yes we are being watched or at least have been 'logged' by some other intelligence. The reason i say 'watched' carefully is that we can be monitored by some other life form in a way that we can't even comprehend. after all, we haven't even explored our 'own' garden yet.

Possibilities are endless, literally, if we just venture out far enough we might be able to reach a world so twisted and awkward from our own world, just the thought of it may just kill us, that world may not intend to be scary of fearful... just way to complex for us to place into logic.

When you look at the sky into space, what you only see is the observable universe, yep, we can't see the rest of it real universe because even the light from super-duper-Mega-Ultra distant galaxies hasn't reached us yet.

... After all this i cry when i hear a christian teach kids that god is the only non-human sentient being and we are alone. Don't get me wrong, like i said the chance of being(s) having God power does still exist since it's all infinite chances and that, but there's a bound to be a 'God' even more powerful then the one wrote in the holy books.

As humans we should start getting our Shit together quick, we are not alone, and not everyone is going to be easy to understand and friendly.

I honestly believe that one day our universe will evolve to a Mass Effect universe of sorts where many species of our universe can live in harmony and many planets and technological advances will be discovered.

I believe that there are more life forms that are superior to us and just as intelligent on some planet out there.

But by the time we find out, I wont even be alive.

Nothing is after space, space in infinite

You just copied my answer aa) :russianroulette:

Well, considering that no one has mentioned it yet, why not look at the possibility of a multiverse?
This universe could be like a bubble in a huge collection of bubbles.

Incorrect.

Space is not infinite.

Space can only be the age of the universe multiplied by the speed of light. And no faster because by the laws of physics, matter could not have been created further than the fastest constant (light) can be known to go.

But theoretically we can never see the edge of the universe because of the current size and its current expansion. We will not be able to beat the speed of light to the edge of the universe as nothing is faster.

If you're going to be of on that tangent I would like to mention that your statement too is partially incorrect.

Yes, the universe isn't infinite in scale however, it's in fact expanding at faster than the speed of light. The rate of expansion has been derived from 'v = Hd' through red shifts in light, and so has been calculated to be around 74.3 2.1 kilometers per second per mega-parsec whereas the speed of light is only 3x10^8 ms-1. The reason for this is due to dark energy and you must understand that atoms in the universe only make about 5% of the universe, the rest is mainly dark matter.

There is a HUGE difference between these values and does explain how the 'observable' universe is so finite in comparable to the universe.

I have a slight urge to raise string theory into this equation as I believe it's the most founded understanding of what we would think is "outside" the universe. It's a concept that there an number of bubble like universes. But, the gaps in between such universes I would believe to be mainly dark matter however, don't take this literally; it's merely an expectation from what is inside the universe.

Space is infinite we are sure about that because it's forever expanding.

Nothing can be beyond the actual universe, it's infinite. Not just the observable universe the whole universe.
