Frank Edwards wrote about it long before Friedman.
"To consider the Earth as the only populated world in infinite space is as absurd as to assert that in an entire field of millet, only one grain will grow." -- Metrodorus, 4th c BC Greek philosopher
"Heaven and earth are large, yet in the whole of space they are but as a small grain of rice. How unreasonable it would be to suppose that, besides the heaven and earth which we can see, there are no other heavens and no other earths." -- Teng Mu, 13th c AD Chinese philosopher

Thx much!
I remember Jesse and his posts about what his father discussed.
I don’t remember much about the posts themselves, and I don’t remember his freepname.
Can you give me links to his posts about this or at his old username to search on?
thank you.
