Do you think there are humans living on other planets in the universe?

Do you think there are human beings on other planets (or moons) in the universe? Not "alien" life (though I guess in one sense they would be aliens) but humans from earth that, somehow (hidden technologically advanced civilization in the past developed space travel? teleportation? time travel?), colonized another planet out there among the stars.

I think it's at least possible, and more probable than finding alien life of non-earth origin. I'd say "no" when asked, though.

It's just coke, I swear.

And not that "coke", either 😱
 
Definitely not by human technology. The only way is if alien life came and transported some of us.

Do you mean more probably than alien life existing, or just of us finding said alien life?

Either way, are you serious? What planet would they live on? It would be impossible with current technology.
 
Absolutley not. The fossil record would show that the civilization you're imagining existed.

There is most likely life on a planet in another galaxy somewhere in the vast cosmos. In fact, there is a chance that life exists within our own milky way. We have barely begun to scratch the surface exploring other star systems. Remember, there are billions and billions of stars in billions and billions of galaxies. Drake's equation is a good starting point to conclude that life most likely exists on other planets.
 
Space is awesome. Just think, even if there is on average only one planet with advanced lifeforms per galaxy, and only 1% of those lifeforms are sentient...that's still a billion+ adanced civs in the universe. It also means it's possible we may never see another alien, even if we become super advanced.

Amazing. Anyone that thinks it's only us must be on some strong drugs.

Would it, though? We've barely explored a fraction of the surface of the earth, and there have been many cataclysms that could obscure and advanced civilization. What would it take, and how long, to wipe out all traces of our current civilization (we're not that far away from technology allowing us to colonize other planets, though we don't possess terraforming capabilities)?

Just to clarify, I don't believe there are humans on other worlds. I think it's highly, highly unlikely.
 
Before reading your post, I would have said it was possible for human like aliens on other planets, but humans from earth. Absolutely no way. Everything leaves traces behind.

Yes, it would. If the humans are anywhere near related to current humans, you can bet that we would have found at least one piece of material or tech that tells us that they where more advanced.

Logically, if there are 500 billion galaxies (latest estimate), and each galaxy has a single advanced civ...that's 500 billion advanced civs. I'm sure at least one of those would look very human-like.

I think the key word there is human-like. Not human, definitely not traceable to origins from this planet.
 
I saw this documentary where aliens abducted lots of egyptians and took them back to their planet through big stone gate thingies.

So yes.
 
Possibly some humans who were abducted by aliens in the past/present and brought to their planet. Also the aliens could be collectors of species of a doomed planet.

I would argue instead that the chance, while infinitesimal, is a nonzero value simply because you cannot prove that aliens didn't come to Earth and take people away in the distant past.

I would also argue that the chance is not zero, since there is a non-zero probability that any event could occur somewhere in the Universe, as long as it doesn't break the laws of nature.
