NASA is my favorite government agency

NASA has discovered an Earth-sized planet orbiting in the habitable zone of its star

Scientists have discovered a world that is likely rocky and 95% of the size of Earth. The planet, called TOI 700 e, is orbiting around a star and could have liquid water on it, NASA says.

This is the fourth planet discovered in the TOI 700 system — the other planets are named TOI 700 b, c, and d — which is 100 light-years away. TOI 700 is a star the planets orbit around, but only d and e orbit in the "habitable zone."

A habitable zone, also known as "Goldilocks zone," is an area that is just the right distance from a star where water can exist on a planet's surface and the conditions are neither too hot nor too cold for life.

For their sake, one hopes that the residents of these discovered inhabitable planets don't fuck them up to a fare thee well by not using birth control.

I am reaching the opinion that intelligent life capable of technology and civilization are currently extremely rare in our galaxy, if not non-existent, outside of Earth.


It would still be cool to find primitive life!

This is a really interesting take, Cy.

if the universe is truly infinite, there would almost have to be so many other inhabitable planets that a huge number of them would be virtually identical to ours.
Then, the only possible reason for not believing in human-like beings on other planets is some sort of spiritual belief that humans are special.

I personally am an atheist, so I think that the relevant concept is this: even if there are creatures virtually identical to us out there,
which logic would suggest that there probably are,
it can't possible matter to us.

Organism such as ourselves will never be able to remain alive long enough to survive trips entailing billions of light years.

In other words, I think that there may be an infinite number of Niftys out there, but none of us needs to care even a little about it because we'll never encounter one another.

This is why I prefer to reflect on the existence of donuts and other practical things.
I was once of an age to be mentally curious, but I've more than earned a retirement from it.

Very cool! I guess if one had a scale model of the planet, it would be called, a "toy Toi"!

I crack myself up.

Thats good. Much different from most left wing people who's favorite government agency is far and away the welfare office. Kudo's....

In principle, I agree if we are talking about an infinite universe.

That's why I limited my comment to the possibility of intelligent, technologically advanced life elsewhere in our galaxy. There is not the remotest chance will will be able to study planets in other galaxies.

Given what we have learned in the past few decades, I think intelligent life on Earth was the result of a perfect storm which was probably only rarely duplicated elsewhere in our galaxy

Yes. That seems perfectly reasonable to me. I was under the misimpression that we were speaking of the universe.

That would entail a ' huge number ' of drivel-spouting dumbasses virtually identical to you- spread throughout Creation like turds in the cosmic soup.
Nah- nature isn't that unkind to itself.

Haw, haw..............................haw.
