I don't think anyone can actually wrap their head around just how vast space is or that anyone has a clue just how much stuff and "space" is out there.
That's because it's all fake. Those are Adobe Illustrator creations from some teenager in the Ukraine.

One of the coolest pictures ever taken, Hubble Ultra Deep Field - each point of light on here isn't stars but entire galaxies (and this was purposefully taken from a small point of sky that had very little in it)

If you've never seen the PBS documentary on the Hubble Space Telescope called "Invisible Universe Revealed", do yourself a favor and watch it. It's amazing.

It would be an awful waste of space.
That said, I have no idea how likely it is for life to arise, so I would be no more surprised if we were it than if the universe were teeming with independently developed life.

I love PBS docs.

That's mind blowing.

The odds of us finding it or vice versa would be like two single cell organisms on the Earth, all by themselves, finding one other.
Actually it would probably be eleventy billion times harder.

Same thing will happen to our galaxy when we collide with Andromeda.
It's hard to comprehend, but when the Milky Way and Andromeda collide, there is zero chance that any stars will hit each other.

This is another good example of what I mean. Two fricking galaxies can collide and nothing actually hits and they are so vast that everything just passes right by.
Crazy.

I agree with this..I don't think anyone on earth can fathom how big the universe is. Not even the people who study it.
There are an estimated 100 billion stars in our galaxy and something like 10 trillion different galaxies. The scale of that is just massive.
There's definitely other life out there. It seems far more improbable that we would be the only planet to have life forms, than for other planets to have life.

I had high hopes for this exchange.

Not sure who he, UF, is, as it's harder for me to keep up now that I use mobile and don't see avatars, but that's a good guess. I remember montagator's username but that's about it.
He was posting some stupid shite in the SECRant last night or the night before (probably both) is the only reason I even remembered who this cat was.

I just nodded like I knew all that.

Get out of my head.
Seriously though, I agree with all of that.
Because of our very limited concepts of distance due to our limitations of where he can go, it just seems impossible to begin to comprehend just how much shite is out there and how spread out it really is.
Perch's link on page one does a good job trying to explain it, but even that is hard/impossible to fathom.
I feel like a child just trying to think about it.
The opposite is also true when you think about how small certain things are, atoms and such.
I don't want to sound like I've IV'd a bunch of pot, but it's hard not to when trying to talk about this. For me anyway.
