I don't think we're really alone, but I also think they aren't that interested on us to invade our planet or something like that

Oh no I am not going down the avenue of invasion lol, just the existence in general.

One thing I have noticed, we are looking for something out there that we can talk to, like looking for someone to date Tongue

Haha, yeah that's pretty unlikely unless the babel fish is real... we can't even properly communicate with other humans half the time.


Considering how big the universe is, I think it's practically impossible that we're alone...

Our galaxy (The Milky Way) alone has ~200bil stars.... and The Milky Way itself is just one of 100 billion galaxies..

Maybe if we'd already thoroughly explored a few quintillion stars and didn't find any signs, but we haven't even finished exploring around the one star we started at lol

Life is like a box of chocolates, it doesn't last as long for fat people.

WOW! you seem to be pretty knowledgeable in the field of astrology, those are some amazing stats. (I learnt something new today)

I suppose that everyone would have their own interparation ( usually based off media ) but the truth is we won't really know until we discover it.

I don't think I'm very knowledgeable, but thanks! I just work with stats/numbers and enjoy watching space documentaries, but I never feel like I understand anything better by the end...

I do marvel at how mind-boggling huge the universe is from time to time though... our minds don't have the ability to even begin comprehending it. .

Another eye-opener is that 1 single light year is a distance of 5.9 trillion miles (9.5 trillion kilometres), and there's stuff 13.8 billion light years away.... but even if you did somehow find a way to spend the next 13.8 billion years travelling at the speed of light, you still wouldn't get there because the universe is also expanding... even bypassing the travel time and teleporting directly wouldn't cut it.. we'd still be 13.8 billion years late to the party, because it took that long for the light to reach us before we even left.

Okay so all that maths in the end paragraph just literally made my brain explode *drooling over keyboard

Okay, now factor in that there's probably a nearly infinite number of prallel universes too... :wooow:

Haha.
