  1. Guys...

    There are planets out there. Like, a lot of them. Like, so many that our mind cannot begin to understand how many there are.

    You could walk on them. Some have water. Some have air. You could feel their grass and soil beneath your feet and smell the scents of their flowers and feel their breezes on your face and feel and see the light of their suns raining down on you. You could feel the water that flows on their surface cool your hands and run down your face as it falls from the sky. You could marvel at the life that they harbor, so familiar and yet so alien and yet beautiful in a way you never knew was possible. You could look up at night and see the light that they catch from unimaginably distant stars and see the reflected light of their suns in the details of their moons. You could find the distant speck of space where the world you came from lived and marvel on how vast and how wonderful and how beautiful the universe is and how precious the worlds that dot it are.

    They exist.

    We can't reach them right now. Perhaps we never will.

    But they exist.

      Space is just one of those things that routinely breaks science

      A few things:

      Constant Inflation (More universes)

      The possibility that we're wrong about the Big Bang Theory (Unlikely but possible)

      The possibility that the universe is infinite even with the Big Bang (I don't know how this would work)

      I think you're talking about eternal inflation, which is a hypothetical theory.

      And the thing about our limited observable universe is still true.

      I'm not saying there can't be life like ours or that it's necessarily unlikely, I'm saying we just don't know how likely it is.

      I'm pretty sure they discovered recently that universes are a lot bigger than they thought they could be. I don't remember exactly what it was, but my dad told me about it the other day. And I trust him on that kinda stuff cuz he does his research.
