      sorry, this is hardly definitive. we need more extrasolar surveys before you can posit that we’re the only place. anything else is conjecture.

        It’s speculation, but there are only 100 billion stars in the galaxy. I’m willing to bet that we have a 1 in a 100 billion chance of our solar systems creation being different from the others.

          that’s pretty silly. you’re suggesting that in our galaxy we’re the only place this happens - what about our solar system is so exceptional, when we see similar planetary formation all over the galaxy?

          and also, there are between 200 billion (2×1011) to 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe - you gonna write them off too?

          you have a sample size of one - one solar system. that’s it.

          seems fucking moronic to be making billions or trillions of assumptions based on your experience.

            Now you’re just making shit up I never said. Have fun being ignorant.

            In fact, in my original comment, and another reply specifically said that I was only talking about our galaxy, and not even our local group.

              oh so there’s something exclusively special about our galaxy?

              why would our galaxy not be representative of the larger universe?

              make your crap make sense bro.
