Did Hawking just meet Edward right before he made that statement?<br /> <br /> How long has Hawking been in that chair? Maybe Pike was modeled after him? <br /> <br /> Not as cool as the Spock's Brain episode. "Brain and brain! What is brain!" “Primitive life is very common and intelligent life is fairly rare,” he said, then quickly added: “Some would say it has yet to occur on Earth.”

Hmmm. Did Hawking just meet Edward right before he made that statement?

Not as cool as the Spock’s Brain episode. “Brain and brain! What is brain!”

Its a little amusing to consider that we're always wondering if there are 'intelligent' extraterrestrial life forms out there when we may not even rate the description by other life-forms.<br /> <br /> What would Jupiter think about? I haven't a clue. Remember my Jupiter-Brain post?

Life on other planets? Yes. Extraterrestrial life here? No. Why? We are too far from everything. Your thoughts?</blockquote><br /> <br /> It is very simplistic to think that just because we can't travel quickly through interstellar space that some other intelligence hasn't figured it out. Any sufficently advanced technology might appear as magic to us but that doesn't make it impossible. Trust me, there is intelligent life in the universe other than us. <br />

OK So seriously. Life on other planets? Yes. Extraterrestrial life here? No. Why? We are too far from everything. Your thoughts?

Maybe, how could we ever know for sure? Exogenesists would say we're all extraterrestrials.
