I think it is not so easy to find another world similar to ours and perhaps we will never do it, but the universe is so vast that in some place that is not within our reach there may be a similar world, but for the good of that world it is it’s better that it’s not within our reach
Yup.
“just remember that you’re standing on a planet that’s revolving and revolving at 900 miles an hour. It’s orbiting at 19 miles a second.”
And it is corkscrewing through The Galaxy at 828,000 km/hr as it orbits the sun.

I am going to ask what I believe the right questions are—and then I will even take a stab at answering them given our obvious limited knowledge.
Q. How many alien races with human intelligence or above are there in the universe, including other dimensions etc.
A. Millions.
Q. What basis do you have for drawing that conclusion?
A. The fractal principle—as above, as below. We have an amazing variety of life here on this planet. I believe that the universe will be “Earth at scale” with an incredible variety of life.
Q. What basis do you have for accepting the fractal principle?
A. It is beautiful, brilliant, perfectly complex—it rings true—and it appears to operate on this planet at different scales.
Q. Why haven’t we found this variety of life already?
A. I believe a few races have contacted humans already—but the universe is so vast and our current technology is very limited. Imagine a thousand more years of technological advance, a million more years. Right now we are walking on our lawn looking for tigers and can’t find any tigers—and so conclude that tigers are a myth of mystics and crazy people.
We’re probably not alone, but how advanced is the life? Is it a microbe, a plant, a fish, a humanoid or something else?

The Universe in it entirety was made exclusively for man to explore and colonize from the very beginning of the first picoseconds of the Big Bang.............
Somewhat on-topic: There was a very good program a few years ago: The Last Day of the Dinosaurs | FD Ancient History.
I know it can be found on YouTube.
So remember when you’re feeling very small and insecure
How amazingly unlikely is your birth
And pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere up in space
‘Cause there’s bugger all down here on Earth.
Well to be fair, our current telescopes can only detect planets withing 0.1% of our own galaxy let alone the entire universe. So, to say there are no solar systems like ours because we don’t see any, is like saying lions don’t exist because I looked out my window and didn’t see a lion.
Space is big. No bigger than that. We actually don’t know much about the vast majority of it. And our view of a lot of it is rather old. If we’re looking at some star a million light years away then we’re actually looking at what was going on there a million years ago. Things might have changed. Basically it’s like we walked onto a beach, picked up one towel, didn’t find any crabs, and are declaring this beach crab free.
Question: If scientists and their tools were located somewhere else in our galaxy could they find earth?
Answer: No.
Everything else is speculation.
We're humans!
We want to travel to exotic, distant lands.
Meet exciting, unusual people.
And kill them!

In the beginning, God created the heavens and earth…
🌎
When we become spirit beings like Jesus and the Angels, we will be able to travel the entire Universe in the blink of an eye.
Billions of galaxies with billions of stars in each.
It will be an exciting journey!.............
The Arquillians are more fun...
To answer a question with a question:
A. What number is exactly between 0 and ∞?
I really, really, really don't like the possibility of it being that number...
“In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.”
Our flavor of solar system - small rocky worlds close to the sun, gas giants a billion or more miles away - make detection of those planets harder. The lack of solar systems that look like ours may just be a reflection of the limits of our very new technology. It will improve.
