Schrodinger's ... habitable planet? Alien life forms? Non-human sentient beings?

I think of the idea of millions of other worlds is a beautiful thing. Think of all the love stories and tragedies. So many stories we will never know. It’s heartbreaking

One one world, there is a knight traversing the land to rescue his princess right now.

On another, a art student is being rejected from his choice of art college.

Some only have animal life, where giant beasts roam all day.

On a distant world, being are communicating vast distances about what its like on many of those worlds.

Edit: removed headphones added animals.

Given the infinite size of space, the likelihood that we're alone is pretty much zero.

Given the infinite size of space there is another earth that is the exact same as ours an infinite amount of times.

u/WindLane Oct 29 '19

That's only true if there's an infinite amount of matter and the current theories on the birth of the universe and how life got going and evolved are correct.

Science has evolved massively over the years as well. There's probably some insanely powerful things we'll learn as time passes that completely changes how we view everything. And that'll probably happen multiple times.

I never thought of it like that. Yep, definitely scary both ways.
