Notti 07/03/19 5:15:05 AM #32:	RescueBC posted... What blows my mind is that a few years ago, approximately 8.8 billion Earth-like planets were estimated to be in our galaxy alone. Earth-like in this context just means roughly the same size of Earth and orbiting at about the same distance from their star as we are from the Sun. They only surveyed stars that are the same type as the Sun. This obviously excludes a lot of other planets, but was used as an attempt to look only at planets that might be kinda like Earth. Imagine that you were given a device at birth that displays one of these planets per second and never repeats. You obviously dont get to explore any of them or even make them out in great detail, because you only get to see each one for a second. If you live to the age of 100, your device will have displayed over 3.1 billion of these planets during your lifetime. Not even half of the ones that exist. As I said, these planets are all only in our galaxy. There are hundreds of billions of galaxies in the observable universe.. And that's only the observable part.... --- https://youtube.com/TheYoungTurks http://RightWingWatch.org/ https://DemocraticUnderground.com/?com=latest_threads https://reddit.com/r/The_Mueller/new <cite>Notti posted [p:924180469] in What fasci...
