Exactly why this post is

I don't get it. If there is an infinite amount of planets within the universe, how can there be a finite amount of those with life?? Isn't that a contradiction?


I hate philospohy.

Now, what does this have to do with the topic at hand? I don't have the slightest fuckin' clue

Tranc3-

Your philosophy is flawed. I, myself am a very thoughtful person. I love thinking about how the universe work and creating theories to support my ideas.(Or maybe I just like shrooming and getting stoned, you pick.) I believe there's a certain boundary that a planet has to be between a star and it's orbit in order to support life.

Like how our distance from the Sun enables our planet to have a life friendly enviroment. Some stars that emit more energy have a larger 'life-support' area where those planets can support life. It all depends upon the number of planets in the system, their distances from the star, what the kind of atmosphere those planets have and the enviroment hostility that can contain life(like if those planets haven't been hit by meteors, etc.) I believe life on mars was once possible, but too much cosmic interuption caused it's life support atmosphere to collapse and become what we know as mars today.

It really isn't based upon numbers or some god forsaken formula that is what creates life. It's pure science, luck, and evolution in all aspects.

Space may be infinite, the universe may as well. According to my theory(it may not be original theory, but I've came up with most of this purely by self-thought) If there's infinite amount of stars created, life can be created if it's with-in the boundaries of the stars 'life-support' emit area. Planets are created the same way stars are, but they solidate in form due to their lesser energy masses. You got to realize how the universe forms and what becomes of these Anomalies.

or maybe its just pointless to try to understand how big the universe is because our minds dont work in a way as to understand that much information. perhaps each person alive has their own universe that collides with other universes, therefore your reality isnt exactly the same as another person's reality. I would think one needs to prove their own reality. I Think, therefore I AM.

Very true, the universe has a definate size. However the univerese is expanding rapidly as we know it, and is expanding by the means of "dark energy" which in essence is anti-matter.
