    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.

      sorry if it seems like we're ganging up on you. Just my personal beliefs mixed with my religion seem to be the same as Bookwyrm's and witless's

      lol, same. 

      I tend to get kind of aggressive when there're cool science or book conversations that I am interested in

      How do you know?

      Well based on what we know about the big bang and such, there is only so much stuff in the universe. We live in a pocket of said universe, and our pocket expands at the speed of light, but in reality that's quite slow. And the universe is expanding faster than light. So, there is a limited about of stuff within reach with our current understanding of physics. And since we don't know any of those probabilities, we don't know the chance that we'll find life like ours.

      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)
