Id say, yes. We humans have too high an opinion of ourselves; a good E.T. encounter would certainly knock the chip off our shoulders.
I imagine our lack of confirmation of this lies with the current state of our technology and the vast distances between stars. That's probably a blessing seeing that we can't get along with each other, we'd be hard pressed to maintain good relations with another advanced race.
Nothing to do with aliens, or time, but one of the things I enjoy doing each evening is standing amongst my fruit trees in the yard, and looking at the stars.
The universe is magnificent. :)
So, Earth could in fact be/exist outside of the Universe? :pQuote:

Ultimately it depends on whether said things can interact with or be interacted with by things in this universe. If they can, then they are really just another part of this universe, albeit that interaction may not be in a 'visible' manner. If they cannot then they would be a classic parallel dimension, but we could never prove the existed, for such proof would itself require some form of interaction.
I think that by saying that your definition of "universe" includes those things outside of the universe, you are effectively saying that there is nothing that is outside the universe. This seems just as "narrow minded" as saying that there is nothing that is outside the multiverse.Quote:
