re: New Hubble pic showing 15,000 galaxies

This is important and affects my life!

There are an estimated 100 to 200 billion planets in the milky way.

That's the conservative estimate, based on the idea that each star has at least one planet. A middling estimate is that our galaxy has at least one trillion planets, billions of which are earth sized with some 33 billion are within the habitable zones of their stars.

The milky way is just one galaxy. The estimated number of galaxies is 200 billion to 2 trillion.

And that's just the observable Universe. Max Tegmark of MIT and other physicist mathematicians estimate the actual size of the entire Universe to be 10 to the 23rd power times the observable Universe. That's 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, or 1 followed by 23 zeros bigger than what we can see inside the particle horizon.

I added the information above to support your contention that there is, in all probablility, other intelligent life in our Universe. The numbers make any other conclusion seem ridiculous.

However, and it's a big however, we are forced to use this same context to define alone. If there are uncountable intelligent civilizations on other worlds but they are beyond our ability to detect them and communicate with them, then we are indeed alone. So, alone is a relative term in the context of the Universe as we currently understand it.

That’s not true. We’ve been looking into space ever since humans have been around, we just had no idea what we were looking at. Galileo put his telescope to the sky in the 1600’s. We didn’t realize that the universe was vastly larger than the Milky Way until Hubble worked it out which is around 100 years ago, but we’ve definitely been looking up far longer.

But wait I thought Jesus created the earth 6,000 years ago?

Galaxies range from dwarf (a few hundred million stars) to giants (a hundred trillion stars)

That is a lot of dust from the snap of Thanos.
