    No...I'm pretty certain that the universe will be teeming with life. What scares me is the vastness of the known universe, and when I start trying to fathom it out it makes me dizzy. For example: where does the universe end, and if it does end then how does it end, and then what is on the other side of the end.
    It scares me to think how small and insignificant we are in all this vastness. In reality the earth to the universe is equivalent to a virus to the earth..

    Thats a canny way of putting it

    I have a theory that earth is actually a midway stopgap between heaven & hell and that we've all been bad in past lives (but not bad enough to go straight there) and given an opportunity to redeem ourselves.

    The greatest trick the devil ever played was to convince the world he didnt exist

    I'm not really into religion, although I'm an agnostic rather than an atheist, as I do believe there is things yet to discover..

    Makes all your problems seem pointless when you really think about it, just how small we are, i feel almost spaced out when i think of this sort of thing. Fascinating

    My thoughts are everything is in a huge sphere, so there is no beginning and end.
    It fascinates me, things like this.
    Did anyone watch that series on a few months ago called Cosmos? It was amazing.

    I love astronomy, studied it for about 30 years, and there is possibly a thousand planets like earth are out there, and we will be contacted one day by people like us, or will humanity/wars destroy us first ?. 'The day the earth stood still' says a lot for us. I bought a pair of 100 x 50 binos and they are huge, but they are great and still trying to find the Andromeda spiral galaxy !, but have seen mars and venus clearly.

    TThe naked eye is more than enough. You just need to know what and or where you are looking at. The middle of nowhere helps too.
