So as the few people who actually read this know I usually write stupid things and go on rants in office to my own pleasure. but this episode is one of a serious or deep note on the universe, life, etc.
I'm starting with this link:

It's the Hubble telescope deep field image.
According to this fellow talking it is the single most important image ever taken. Crazy right.
He goes on to say that the universe has a radius of 46.5 billion lightyears which is just crazy to sit down and really think about. We are on this one small planet that we are confined to pretty much and the universe is so big. on one image from the hubble telescope there are thousands of galaxys and in those are thousands of stars and those stars have even more bodies of planets revolving around them. So out of the millions of planets out there there has got to be at least one out there with all the right conditions as ours to have intelligent life. the right temperature, water, nitrogen based soil, gravity being somewhat the same, oxygen. those are some of the basic things that this other "earth" would have. Just thinking there's a big possiblity of other life out there similar to ours.
And we'll never see it but what of our descendents.
weird turn from my usually prose I know, but think about it because I have recently, it's just interesting i suppose
