Given the scale of the universe, it is extremely probable that life exists elsewhere. That life may be very primative and be like bacteria or there may be other more advanced lifeforms. We have not been able to prove it yet or find evidence but we are looking in a small cave in Egypt in the context of the entire world if you follow my analogy.

Beyond that cave or what we can see, who knows what exists??

What happens to everything that is sucked into a blackhole? We cannot see Beyond the event horizon as light itself is pulled inside.

It's fascinating stuff. The macro of the cosmos behaves like the micro of particle physics which is also fascinating.

I don't buy that aliens have visted us though and doubt they will. It makes sense that they exist somewhere millions of light years away, but to fathom that they could ever reach here is a stretch too far. Sure wormholes try to explain how ot might happen but I don't really buy that.

I already shared this Carl Sagan video with a hive friend today, but I'll share it again as it really fits this conversation and I agree with wgat Carl says.

Our absolute priority should be minding the world we have on Mother Earth. Stop the petty squables and wars and unite to save our beautiful green covered Pale Blue Dot, an emotive speck of dust in the vast ocean of the cosmos.
