There is quite a bit of talk about the fine tuning of the universe and its implications.
There are a number of interacting constants that are just right to give us a "Goldilocks universe". Add to this that not only that we find ourselves in just the right place within our galaxy, with just the right star and a planet in the "Goldilocks zone".
So the question comes up, was this all prepared for us to be this way or are we here simply in this almost perfect place in our universe simply because this is a spot where intelligent, self aware and questioning life would naturally emerge?
This then begs the question: how many other Goldilocks spots exist in this or other universes where beings have emerged that can ask the same question?
I suppose we are all free to develop our own answer to this question but I for one like observing, even if were just for the sake of observing.
For instance, how wonderful is the process withing stars that forge the elements and then spew them out in order to make them available for building planets? and all this simply because of the interaction of a few fundamental forces.
How wonderfully simple and yet complex are the information storing and replicating mechanisms of RNA and DNA that give rise to life and all of biology?
Is not all this something marvelous to behold, wondrous to begin to comprehend and so awe inspiring that it forces one to step back in admiration of it all?
The night sky has fascinated and inspired awe for millennia. What a pity it is that in our light polluted cities most of us have lost touch with this celestial tapestry and become ever more focused on our rat race below.
I saw a few notable people recently talking about whether or not aliens exist and they said probably not, but in my opinion statistically there has to be another perfect alignment somewhere.

When we talk of aliens, we need to stipulate a) that it's 'intelligent life' we're talking about and b) that it's contemporaneous intelligent life we're talking about.
If mankind fails to reign-in its greed (more specifically, the greed of entrepreneurial monsters), the world will almost certainly continue to suffer. What the breaking point is, no-one knows and when it will happen, no-one can say, but the distance we've come since the industrial revolution (and the damage we've done to the planet in that period) hardly leaves me optimistic that we'll survive much more than a century.
Will we 'reach for the stars'? (Like in the films, say.) Maybe a few filthy rich entrepreneurs will time everything right to be able to leave the planet when we're knee-deep in a swamp by having craft ready, and take the opportunity to do so, but maybe they won't be prepared in time through lacking necessary technologies.
So, alien life, intelligent alien life, will they be around / still be around in this window of opportunity? If they've not yet discovered how to travel distances measured in lightyears, then maybe all this is a moot point as we'll never get to meet due to physics. My very smartest money is on the bet that we'll never discover extraterrestrial life wiser than an amoeba. But it captivates people and makes for great sci-fi so we can all still live intrigued by the prospect of others (preferably non-hostile others) being out there and en route to an as-of-yet unplanned rendez-vous with us some time in the not-so distant future.
Were we to detect intelligent life, communicate with them and even plan such a meet-up, I would expect it would require a generational thing. It would be the very distant descendants of the original pioneers who would get to enjoy the experience, I'd imagine. We'd need big craft, improved recycling works, willing participants and nuclear power powering it all. Not impossible, just hard to pull off, I'd say.

I agree we need to invent some things, but I don't think that it will necessarily defy our laws of physics, since we haven't reached an ultimate conclusion on what the laws of physics are, we have theories that express the laws. And some theories, such as Superstring theory, supports 10 dimensions that would allow for dimensional space and time travel if accessible through our technology. Seeing that quantom cumputers have already been invented, I would hope that humans survive long enough to explore our neighborhood of the milky way using non-propulsion systems versus our current rocket propulsion.
I, however, don't think humans will live long enough to create multiple dimensional travel. And even if we did have that, as said before, what are the chances of finding intelligent life during our spec of an existence.

I was going to elaborate on an amazing theory that I read about in a book called Shantaram, but then I discovered this post https://steemit.com/philosophy/@milinko/shantaram-theory-of-ultimate-complexity by @milinko
In the sequel of this book "The Mountain Shadow", the protagonist, Shantaram, meets Khaderbhai's teacher and they discuss consciousness. And how there may be beings of a higher level of consciousness that exist in the endless universe where they're probably technologically more advanced and understand better than human beings that working together as a collective and for the betterment of other beings is a far better rational strategy than working for individual gain. With all the hype about human beings being conscious beings as compared to animals, I agree with them that we are just at the primitive stages of our consciousness, and as we develop, as a collective we would understand the folly of war and power of kindness.

Kind of similar to this, at least with the consciousness aspect, is the idea brought forth by the movie Arrival.
SPOILER - DON'T READ IF YOU WANT TO WATCH ARRIVAL
The movie presented an idea of higher consciousness achieved through learning a certain language that had no form (a sentence would happen all at once, in a single moment). Once learned and mastered, the person could then think in that language and actually travel through space time at will, seeing the future or traveling to events across the planet.
This is kinda similar to the weird aliens in the Kurt Vonnegut the Tralfamdore that has access to the 4th dimension and could perceive time at their own will.

I mean if you take that approach and want to talk statistics, what's the likelihood that we live in a computer-generated universe. I think the argument goes something like "If it's possible to create computer-generated universes inhabited with artificial beings then (which are self-aware but not aware they're living in a computer-generated universe #us) then by logical conclusion there would be more of these universes than there are real universes (because who ever stopped at creating just one) and if we consider that our reality isn't something special and don't assume it's the real one... then statistically speaking aren't we most likely to be living in a fake world?
An interesting thought, not sure how much weights it holds though...

We certainly are in a Goldilocks zone here on Earth, but given the size of the universe, that doesn't necessarily seem like proof of a God to me.
No, I see evidence of a creator in chemistry, in physics. The fact that carbon dioxide and water can form glucose, and that the glucose can be used for energy, and turned back into it's old form. In fact, photosynthesis and cellular respiration are incredibly (irreducibly) complex processes that I see as proof of a creator.
The way gravity works, the way the different forces, energy, and matter interact, it is all dependent on a finely tuned series of constants. If they were off by just a bit, the universe likely could not exist. That's how I see evidence of a creator all around us.

I see it as an unfortunate side effect of atomic properties and chemical structures. Carbon 14, Hydrogen, and Oxygen are just stuck in a cycle of trying to decompose into entropy where it can be stable, and that by mere virtue of existing, we as living organisms are responsible for the prevention of energy flow into entropy. We are responsible for energy flowing back into the environment, and we are also responsible for the prevention of energy flowing in the manner that it needs to. As long as life exists, energy will flow in a cycle, instead of a river, and whether that is a good thing or not is something we can never really say.

Without invoking black magic, that is. And circular arguments. I think we should just stick with what we know / can prove. The universe cycles between big bangs and big crunches indefinitely. It has always been and always will be. If you need a metaphor for this thing we can't completely comprehend, by all means call it god, but accept that it's just a metaphor. And keep a lid on the rest of this 'religious' nonsense? (Unless you're intending on feats of mind control.)
There is zero evidence in the universe that some sort of 'creator' started it all off. None whatsoever. And claiming things that you don't understand to be 'evidence' for the very fact that you don't understand them is an extremely weak argument, indeed.

Our universe is predicated on the principle of cause and effect. That's how it works with time. In a universe where there is time, a creator does need a creator. But if a creator is the one that spoke space and TIME into existence, the cause and effect as well as the need for a creator would no longer apply to said creator.
It's nonsense to say that there was no cause of the universe, that it just is.

I agree with @silverfortune . The craziest of all is your inability to see that there isn't a creator (with all due respect. I'm not trying to start a fight here, just getting my point across).
You claim that the world "just is", while telling @silverfortune that God cannot "just be". Matter didn't come from nothing. It came from something: God.
Now, with me being a firm believer in God, does that mean I have to reject science? Non-sense!

For more than 400 years, physicists treated the universe like a machine, taking it apart to see how it ticks. The surprise is it turns out to have remarkably few parts: just leptons and quarks and four fundamental forces to glue them together.
But those few parts are exquisitely machined. If we tinker with their settings, even slightly, the universe as we know it would cease to exist. Science now faces the question of why the universe appears to have been “fine-tuned” to allow the appearance of complex life, a question that has some potentially uncomfortable answers.
The deeper we look at the universe, the simpler it appears to be. We know that everyday matter is built from about 100 different atoms. They, in turn, are composed of a dense nucleus of close-packed protons and neutrons, surrounded by a buzzing cloud of electrons.
Peering deeper, we find that protons and neutrons are themselves made of quarks – of which there are six distinct types. But two dominate the universe: the up-quark and the down-quark. There are also six leptons of which the electron is the most famous.
The four fundamental forces glue matter together. Two of them, the strong and the weak force, only inhabit the sub-atomic world. Everyday life is dominated by the electro-magnetic force and gravity.
Recommended
These building blocks of the universe come with tight specifications and they never vary. Wherever you are in the universe, the mass of the electron, the speed of light (light is an electromagnetic wave), and the strength of the gravitational force is the same. In physics, we encounter these so-called fundamental constants so often, we barely give them a second thought. We just plug them into our equations and calculate the properties of matter and energy to our heart’s content.
As a cosmologist, I can use these immutable laws of physics to evolve synthetic universes on supercomputers, watching matter flow in the clutches of gravity, pooling into galaxies, and forming stars. Simulations such as these allow me to test ideas about the universe – particularly to try to understand the mystery of dark energy (more on this later).
This plug-and-play approach to science has also given us a masterful ability to operate in our real universe. We blasted the Rosetta spacecraft 510 million kilometres into the solar system with such pinpoint precision it could land its probe on a three-kilometre-wide speeding asteroid. We’ve designed an instrument so sensitive it could detect the gravitational waves reverberating from two black holes that collided 1.3 billion years ago. Every aspect of our modern technological world is underpinned by plug-and-play science.

@Gavvet, Earth is often referred to as a Goldilocks planet. Bacterial, single-celled organisms or complex and diverse organisms with cognitive intelligence? In order for an advanced species to evolve and emerge as an intelligent, cognitive being such as humans - numerous other Goldilocks factors need to occur. It's not just about the water. Fortunately for us, we have that advantage.

The intelligent design movement has inevitably seized on the Goldilocks enigma as evidence of divine providence, prompting a scientific backlash and boosting the recent spate of God-bashing bestsellers. Fred Hoyle, the distinguished cosmologist, once said it was as if "a super- intellect has monkeyed with physics".
A law of physics is a summary of the universe as it appears to our senses and our way of thinking. We are unable to know or imagine anything beyond that.
Suppose scientific research did reveal the existence of an all-powerful entity who commands the known universe and is interested in human affairs. Now, is this god or is the cosmic equivalent of a butler (someone who might appear almighty to those who know nobody higher).

Hello sir @gavvet
Its very important article sharing like The way gravity works, several forces, energy, and theme interact, it can be all dependent on a finely tuned series of constants. If they were off by just a bit, the heavens likely could not exist.
Its so much comparison with science subjects as Physics, Chemistry and Biology.
There are such a lot of Goldilocks bear the asteroid. The deeper we glance at ocean of emptiness, the better it sounds as if afterlife. We notice a well known day after day subject is made starting with through 99 the several atoms. They, one after another, enclose a thick premise of close-packed protons and neutrons, enclosed by a buzzing distort of DC. Peering deeper, we discover who protons and neutrons are themselves made up of quarks – of that you will discover six diverse types. But two monopolize region beyond Earth's solar system: the up-quark and the down-quark. There also are six leptons of whatever the heat would be the such a lot famous.
A law of physics can be a survey of the heavens as it seems that to our senses and our mind-set. We are not able to experience or think of anything else good way off which.
Suppose mathematical probe did report the reality of an challenging sum who commands the identifyn macrocosm and observe character affairs.

Life is everywhere, of course that does not mean it wants to talk to us or has anything to say, who wants to talk to fish or bacteria?

Our solar system may well be an outsider in the universe. And because our system would have formed in a totally different way than the rest. Planets such as the earth could be very rare and therefore also the chance of the origin of life elsewhere in the universe.
Are we unique now and is there only one earth? Who will say it, perhaps it will be a long wait before we know exactly whether we are unique in the universe or not. If we are not unique, the chance of extra life is greater, but are they intelligent? This mystery remains unresolved for now ...

I think it is a very important question, which has no answer till now that are there any other Goldilocks exist anywhere? All these factors are remaining so far that no thought or matter can touch the question. It's a very good thought,thanks for sharing.

A universe made for me? Physics, fine-tuning and life
Geraint F. Lewis’ day job involves creating synthetic universes on supercomputers. They can be overwhelmingly bizarre, unstable places. The question that compels him is: how did our universe come to be so perfectly tuned for stability and life?

Everything you have been taught in school about space and planets is a lie. The Earth is a unique plane centered in our small universe. It is enclosed so nothing can get in or out. It is the only solid piece of land in existence. The Earth was created like this for us, not randomly arranged by space debris. There is only one sun, which is not a star as it shares no similarities, and only one moon. Yes the idea of other planets with moons revolving around them is a lie. I encourage you all to do the research and come to the realization of these facts, rather than assume they are wrong because of your beliefs that you were taught in school, like most people do.

As far as my conscience and logic can go, I can not consider myself as the most intelligent of the universe (If the universe exists as we think we know it). I also consider that we are more than what history tells us, we are special, a conscience within a "living" organism, our bodies are vessels.
If not, life makes sense? The end is the end? Are we a simple organism that will rot? Our conscience goes beyond, the capabilities of our logic go much further.
Are we the universe?.

So first of all! Beautiful article, interesting questions which I will say something about! :)
I just need to share Carl Sagan's scene from Cosmos. My first and biggest inspiration in astrophysics and space sciences.
"The beauty of a living thing is not the atoms that go into it, but the way those atoms are put together."
Now one thing about goldilocks, generally for intelligent life to develop organisms need water in all three physical states, that can be arguable lowered to two states - liquid being mandatory.
But , what if there is organism in outer space which has main organic building block of phosphorus compounds.
I read it somewhere that they actually found one extreme microorganism in Yellowstone with main building blocks of phosphor and without carbon.

The awe of the universe has been for donkey years....the stars are believed to be created from the Big Bang, with some little observable proof
It was later said that it could later support life after some billions of years...but the question is are all this true...i still believe there is a Super natural being involve....

I truly believe this was the perfect creation of God.
He is the only creator of all that is and he made it all perfect.
The first time I have really enjoyed the starts and the moon and the sun was while living on the beach for 4 months. I have never seen anything like that before while living in a city. I have never payed any attention to it like most people since you can't really see the beautiful stars and the moon or the skies. It's all about the rat race like you said and that is why we are trying to build our dream back in El Salvador where we can enjoy the beautiful God given nature.

As far as aliens go it would be hard to think there is not intelligent life out there, I call it murphys law lol.
If life was created as ours was then it might have on other planets, in comes murphys law. We went thru the ice age and numerous resets on the human progression. If other life did not have these issues with their planet they are on, they would in fact be far more intelligent and hi tech than we are. Their progression would never have been reset.
Where would we be now if there was not a ice age?
If all the money for wars went into hi tech and for the betterment of their planet and people?
I would hate to think how further advanced they would be, as I am sure other planets that got reset more than ours was are far behind us.

Hello @gavvet you always put us to meditate a lot, I think that practical experience says that nothing in the universe is probably at its most perfect, originally created state. The Earth is no longer the paradise described in Genesis. The stars are dying. The moon and the planets have been beaten. It seems that everything in the universe will eventually collapse.
The Scriptures do not directly answer the question about extraterrestrial beings. The Bible does not explicitly deny or confirm the existence of intelligent life on other planets. Moreover, the Bible clearly indicates that the destiny of the universe (each planet and star) is forever linked to the time table of God for humanity and the Earth. One day, Christ will return to Earth and complete the final act of man's redemption (2 Peter 3: 9-10).

According to recent discoveries (read about the Kepler space telescope), there are more planets than the 100-200 billion stars in our galaxy. And earth-size planets seem to be fairly common. I think it's very human to believe we are somehow unique, special and alone. But it could very well be that the universe is full of life. Limitations in technology and the strict laws of physics only allow the most advanced civilizations to travel between the stars. If life DOES exist out there, we will probably be able to detect it in the next few decades.

I like the overall nature of the question, but the answer seems simple. We have no way of knowing. We don't even have any good reason to believe that other universes exist. Physics can only model and speak for our uni-verse, with no conception of a multi-verse.

On the subject of aliens, I used to live with this Mexican guy who said that the United States allows citizens to have guns because they know about the aliens, and don't want people to be unarmed when they inevitable turn on us. Haha, that being said, I'm not really sure if they exist or not. I read a book once that talked about the fact that although Earth has this Goldilocks environment perfect to make life exist, it would seem like those conditions would have to have come together somewhere else in the universe. However, the only requirement for us to exist is that these conditions happened ONCE. And since they are so unlikely to occur, the idea that they may have occurred again is far-fetched. Still, I'm not sure what I believe, because maybe the perfect conditions for another type of lifeform are something else...

Posts like these always make me think! Then, I start to feel weird for a while because I somehow, can't stop thinking. After a while I can let it go! The stars, the planets and the way they are set in the universe must mean something and I do believe we have hardly any clue what or why! I am a firm believer that there is way more life.... May that be aliens, critters or organisms....
