Does Einstein's Theory of Relativity Suggestively Prove Life, Other Than Human Life, Exists?

A chicken is a bird but cannot make Toucan. The same type of species but the DNA is incompatible for reproduction. Yet two dogs will always be able to mate. But two cats, a lion and a Siamese will never be able to mate.

If math is not Truth like you say then being able to travel faster than the speed of light is possible.

I was regarding Einsteins theories more as a base of philosophy and was not intended to be mathematical. Based on statistics however the same process that started life for humans on Earth will have started in a similar manner as the Universe expanded outwards. At some point there was an interaction that took place around the Big Bang that caused life to start.

Such an expanding interaction would have taken the building blocks of life to different regions of the Universe that then slowly formed into life. Its relative that since we exist others will exist but might be similar to the bird and cats where humans are like the dogs.
The entirety of this is codswallop.
 
If math is not Truth like you say then being able to travel faster than the speed of light is possible.

"If one has three, and two has three, three has five and four has four, therefore thirteen will have eight." *

I'll put it more simply for you: math has no content of its own. So one will not find the answers of the universe in it. However, math might provide a symbolic model of how the universe works. Man thinks and communicates via symbols. So if math is not "Truth," it has no bearing on the speed of light being a universal speed limit. That's a matter of whether or not Einstein's Relativity is an accurate model of reality.

As it happens, there is something known as quantum entanglement, which appears to be faster-than-light communication between particles. There is also aberration in sunlight, while there is none in the Sun's gravity. (Relativists have their own explanation for that.)

All of which has nothing to do with extraterrestrial life. Again, statistics are null and void in this matter. We cannot say anything about the "chances" for extraterrestrial life until we find (or not find) some. The Drake equation is pure speculation. The only real facts we've added since it was proposed is some info on how common planets are, and their types.


* The number of letters in each word. (One has three...) But it sounds good with a "therefore" thrown in.

The question is how can the same two black holes merging together into a single black hole generate more than one set of Gravitational Waves? Would the same two black holes continue to generate grav waves separately similar to how two cells
joining together would function as one but would create two networks of differing output function.

I would also have to think that a gravitational wave traveling through space time would be similar to how wind causes waves to appear on the surface of a body of water that along with tectonic plate movement would cause the curve in the ocean wave.
I would have to therefore suggest that when two black holes merge they would create gravitational plates that as the two plates or edges of the black holes move against each other that because both Black holes retain their mass that both masses would continue to interact with each from time to time similar to how a tidal wave is generated after an Earthquake takes place.

From what I learned from swamps is that unless the swamp has a continued fresh water supply that the swamp will remain stagnant and less life will be present. Rain will perturb the swamp agitating it somewhat that creates motion that then creates a force of resistance that plants and animal life will have to react against. Reactions from the plants and animals in resisting the force creates work and an increased in take of energy that then builds further systems in the plant and animal life allowing them to evolve. The more fresh water into the swamp keeps fresh oxygen coming in that allows all to thrive. The more fresh water means more agitation which in turns creates more available oxygen for the life in the swamp to
consume.
Two black holes colliding and generating a gravitational wave would be similar to the stream supplying fresh water and oxygen through agitation to the swamp. The gravitational wave, even though hardly felt will cause agitation in space time to take place across the regions where the distance from the event to the Earth took place thus causing an equal and opposite reaction in those regions to take place. Even just a minor shift of space time created by the collision of the black holes and the generation of the grav wave will perturb the equilibrium of planets just enough to allow for life to take hold and eventually evolve into sentient life forms.
I would also have to suggest that since Earth is located in the region of space time where the grav wav was detected and that Earth is barely a swamp but a thriving ocean that other planets within the range of the colliding black holes would also have sentient life on them or at least be habitable and in a state of coming out of an age similar to a bronze or iron
age.

Einsteins theories proved gravitational waves not theory but reality thus suggesting that his theory would also prove that life existed in the Universe in swamps.
 
Again with the words already, sheesh.

The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.

Logic pervades the world: the limits of the world are also its limits.

There are, indeed, things that cannot be put into words. They make themselves manifest. They are what is mystical.

Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.

-- Ludwig Wittgenstein in translation from "Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus"

No.
How can one be a Platonist when when all physical objects have a permanent representation of change?
No.

Your understanding of political theory and philosophy is as replete with misunderstanding and error coupled with a lamentable ability to communicate as is your facility with science, I see.
 
Pixies make flowers grow. Science can't explain pixies, but the fact that flowers grow is all the proof one needs.
 
The thing is that even if there is intelligent life somewhere else in the universe, it's very likely that we'll never know about it.
 
It could be theorized that when large groups of planets are found based on the above distances that somewhere in the chain there would be an Earth like planet possible of sustaining life or already has life on it.

A grouping of planets like those around Earth could be a sign a habitable planet is located somewhere in the middle that the exo-planets would provide a shield for against asteroids and other cosmic events.

If life is formed in the center of a protective shell, be that shell a womb or the shell of an egg then life on a planet would function in the same way where a habitable planet would have layers of protective planets orbiting it much like the womb and chicken egg shell does for the developing life in the center.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nearest_terrestrial_exoplanet_candidates

If you look at the chart in the above link you can see a pattern or grouping. Relatively speaking, the womb, egg shell or frog tadpole goop protects such life on Earth is the shell that protects those shells. The planets in the solar system protect Earth. The grouping of planets surrounding Earth would therefore protect Earth like the outer layer of womb, egg shell or tadpole goop.
 
I am not sure anyone can give odds like that. We would have to be aware of the factors first.

"Mr. Spock, what are the odds of getting a royal fizzbin?"

At one time it was thought that Einsteinian Relativity was the answer to life, the universe and everything. Then we learned that the real answer is 42.
