minus-squarephotonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 days agoThat’s the thing - we don’t know.
minus-squareEABOD25@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·6 days agoIt’s highly probable that we aren’t the only life in the universe. The only thing that makes it impossible is we aren’t smart enough to know yet, but most signs point to that we can’t be the only life in the universe
minus-squarephotonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down1·6 days agoWe only have one data point. Until we have conclusive evidence of life beyond this world, we need to operate as if we’re the only ones.

Why?
