Title: 100 Billion planets
Post by: MARKO on January 12, 2012, 12:37:04 PM


So Astronomers are telling us they know believe that there is 100 Billion planets in our Galaxy and that life must surely exist out there...... ya think?  Just look up to the sky on a  crisp evening and tell me we are alone.

100 billion planets? there's gotta be more. life is real, we might not find it within 10 years or 100 years or ever but it's out there.

You would think with all that life out there - we would have found something or they would have found us by now. :)
