Truly mind blowing the size of universe.
Not really a huge interest of mine buto it is fascinating.
My tuppence worth no danger there isn't life out there somewhere even if it is just some forms of bacteria or something still think there will some sort of evolved life though.
I agree. I don't think intelligent life is widespread, but bacterial life will be present on millions if not billions of worlds.
One idea I've been kicking around my head for a wee while is concerning evolution. Evolution on our planet started with bacteria evolving into other more complex life and eventually on to what we have now, bit given that we are almost identical in our make up to every other living being and more importantly our chemical composition is very similar to that of rocks. Is it possible that somewhere in the universe a planet has evolved to have consciousness? I know it sounds ridiculous, but when you think of the circumstances that led to humans it seems more plausible. The chances of us evolving from the first bacterial life must be billions and billions to one.
I really think on this subject absolutely anything is possible and probably is given the sheer size of the universe and the possibility that our universe is probably just one amongst an infinite number of other universes.
