The Big Bang Theory seems pretty believable.

I think it sounds ridiculous sometimes, but to each his own. :P

i agree, i think it a ridicules theory... but that is why they call it a theory, nobody really knows...

How much DO we REALLY know?

Apparently, more than many realize.

And still we don't know enough.

Enough for what???? know what women are thinking???

That ain't gonna happen!

Sadly...I feel that I know too much about a woman is thinking. Grew up with all women.

As long as hydrogen and carbon bonds are in organic molecules in the universe and H2O there will be life

I would like to say I do not think that anyone has stepped foot on the moon at all. If that was so why is it that we have only done it that one time! and yes we have only done it once!

We brought back a lot of rocks which have been studied all over the world. You should study the history some more.

Imagine the Stink the Soviets would have started if the Landings were fake!

43 years ago, mankind was marveling at the technological advances that pushed us to leave our relatively safe planet and go land on the closest rock big enough to hold us, the moon. 40 years ago today, the last man to ever set foot on the moon left our natural satellite.

No one has returned since and humans have confined themselves to circling a few hundreds of kilometers above our planet.



Humankind's exploration of outer space objects ended after just six moon landings. That last one, the Apollo 17 mission, brought back some 111 kg or 244 pounds of moon rock. Ironically perhaps, scientists are still making discoveries by analyzing samples brought back in those missions.

You probably already know that the first person on the Moon was Neil Armstrong, but how many others have walked on the Moon? Altogether, 12 people have walked on the surface of our planet’s satellite. These astronauts were Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Pete Conrad, Alan Bean, Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, David Scott, James Irwin, John W. Young, Charles Duke, Eugene Cernan, and Harrison Schmidt. No woman has ever walked on the Moon as there were not yet women in the space program during the Apollo missions. None of those who walked on the Moon ever did it more than once.


On July 21, 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the Moon. He was soon followed by Buzz Aldrin, a fellow astronaut on the Apollo 11.

Pete Conrad and Alan Bean were on the Apollo 12 mission. The Apollo 12 crew experienced the most difficult launch of all the Apollo missions because there were lightening strikes after takeoff, which knocked out the guidance system and power for a time. They were on the Moon for two days between the 19th and 20th of November 1969.

The next two people to set foot on the Moon were Alan B. Shepard and Edgar Mitchell who were part of the Apollo 14 mission. They landed on the satellite on February 9th 1971. While on the Moon, Shepard fashioned a golf club and tried hitting golf balls.

David Scott and James Irwin landed on the Moon on July 31, 1971 and stayed there until August 2nd. Unlike the previous missions which landed on the flat lunar plains, the Apollo 15 landed between two mountains.

John Young and Charles Duke were the next people to walk on the Moon. They were on the satellite from April 21 to 23, 1972. Young was the commander of the Apollo 16 during the mission, which was almost aborted because there was a problem with the command module. They landed though, and it was actually the first mission where they landed in the highlands.

The final people to walk on the Moon were Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmidt. The astronauts of the Apollo 17 landed on the Moon on December 11th 1972 and left it on the 14th. Before he left the Moon, he wrote his daughter’s initials on the surface. Since the satellite does not experience weather conditions, her initials would have stayed there for a very long time. Since 1972, no one has been on the Moon.

The Multi-verse hypothesis is an interesting one. There is no proof for it, but it does explain pretty much everything we observe in the universe. It's also logically consistent within itself. But, there's simply no way (that we know of) to test it. Therefore, no good scientist believes in it. But that doesn't mean there aren't good minds thinking about how it could be proven or dis-proven.

As for life on other planets, I'm agnostic. It may be that we really are the only living things in the universe. It could be that life happens so seldom that the universe hasn't been around long enough to create it twice.

Other life out there or not. I find either prospect equally disturbing.

Actually, the only proof for the multiverse is mathematical, but that is still a form of proof. We just can't see things that small yet ... or maybe ever. However, we know something must happen at the limits of the Standard Model and it may as well be mathematically consistent. The physical proof is still a long way off.

The odds of there being life on other planets is close to 100%. The odds of intelligent life is somewhat less and depends upon the definition of "intelligent". Aliens would probably consider the dauphin as being more intelligent than the US Congress.

And what is the evidence supporting this notion?

We simply don't know how common life is in the universe. We've never seen any anyplace else. There may be things that suggest there's life elsewhere, but nothing conclusive.

Personally, I think it's likely there is life out there somewhere. But, I still remain agnostic without evidence. Even if it is there We're unlikely to ever know about it because of the vast distance. So, the point is moot.

How refreshingly honest. Rare, I approve!

if you make a hole from one face of earth to other face of it through the center , and jump into it
you will oscillate like a pendulum,and end up at the center of earth eventually
is the one i heard

noetic science is one i think

The ability to measure oxygen by spectral analysis allows us to check for life on distant planets if life exists on a large scale. Black smokers are a better "life" theory than the old "ocean beginnings". The point is far from moot.
