It is hard for me to believe that in the mind boggling vastness of space and time, we are the sole singularity in the history of the universe.
- hossbeast 3y agoMany things which are hard to believe are nevertheless true.
- zvmaz 3y agoSure, but in this case, we don't know.
- local_crmdgeon 3y agoWhen Everest was first measured, it was exactly 29,000 feet. They figured no one would believe this, so they told people it was 29,002 feet Sometimes things just are, regardless of what we expect.
- clevergadget 3y agoWaugh is sometimes playfully credited with being "the first person to put two feet on top of Mount Everest".
- chrisandchris 3y agoThe "observable" universe is very small. We can take a look at things that are at the "ebd" of the universe, but those happened multiple billion years ago. Earth itself is 2-3 billion years old and life in terms of mammals is is a couple hundred million years old. So to say, there may be another earth with human-like life. But it's so far away, life isn't here (therefore not observable) and life may already be gone there (but it will take another billion years until we can observe it).
