Things To Think About Vol 2 1st Edition

I'm sure everyone has heard the conspiracy theories on UFO's, Area 51, Life on other planets, Aliens, and what not. But when you look at the facts about the galaxy and the universe, you cannot deny that anything is possible, so lets take a look at the facts.

We obviously live in the Milky Way Galaxy, but there are in fact millions of galaxies. In fact any astrologer will tell you that there are over 100 billion galaxies. Each galaxy has about 100-200 billion stars in it. If you multiply those two numbers together, that is a crapload of stars in the universe. I don't even think my mind can comprehend that number. Actually, There are more stars in the universe than grains of sand on the earth (yes, thats a fact, and its nuts). Now in the Milky Way there are 8 planets that everyone knows about (9 if you include Pluto), but astrologers with new technology and more powerful telescopes have claimed to have found more planets. So there is a bunch of planets on our galaxy alone, but with 100+ billion other galaxies in the universe, who knows how many planets are out there? All I know is with over 100 billion galaxies with gazillions of stars, there are definitely other planets out there. Actually some estimates have been like hundreds of billions of planets, but I'm no expert so I can't tell you for sure.

Am I saying there are little green guys out there? I don't know, but it is something that is a possibility (ok, maybe they aren't green). Somewhere in this vast universe there may be other life forms wondering the same thing that we are. The movie "Contact" had an interesting quote from it that said-"If there isn't life anywhere else out there, then its a pretty big waste of space".
