Let's put things into perspective ... here's a recent photo of a distant galaxy, containing hundreds of billions of stars. It is surrounded by hundreds of even more distant galaxies. Click on the photo via the link below and you can zoom in on any part of it and see countless more galaxies in marvelous detail. For some reason this makes me smile and forget about the craziness of our own tiny world.  cdn4.sci-news.com/images/enlarge2/image_3400e-Markarian-820.jpg |

MAN: Yeah. Yeah. [sniff] Can we have your liver, then?
MRS. BROWN: Yeah. All right. You talked me into it.

Still think it's madness to think we are alone in something that size.  |

Totally potty, I agree. Seems inconceivable to me that the place isn't seething with life.

I think the statistics are hugely in favour of other life existing, all locked (as we are) within a radius limited by the speed of light. To think that we are the only life in the universe is astonishingly ignorant of the scale of things.
