That is assuming we know next to everything about all types of life and that 'our' type of life is the only viable solution.
I frequently wonder on what our present understanding has wrong. Bodily humors were a thing, flat Earth was/is a thing, it was a widespread belief that harm would come to a human travelling over 25mph.
Probability deals with what we currently know, so of course it could change. It’s not that I have no imagination, and I can see where it would be an appealing idea. But based on what we know now, I have no statistical backing to believe that other intelligent life (as we know it) exists
Having said that, it’s an interesting shift in perspective to imagine this: what if true intelligent life was in the form of tiny beings found in the microcosmos and WE were just giant pesky invaders that they were perpetually launching systematic attacks on?0 -

Agreed. I frequently thought that they might be sulfur-based and in gaseous forms.
I wasn't looking to attack you or anything, but enjoy some actual conversation.
I'm now pondering what drives the force of gravity. What would life be like without friction?

Oh well THAT is just the earth moving upward at 9.8 m/s2 😏0 -
. . and also, to think that there is no other intelligent life possible out there is a bit close-minded.
It’s not that I’m close-minded so much as I’m acknowledging the statistical improbability. I mean even on a planet like earth that has proven ideal for cultivating intelligent life (for hundreds of reasons that are as of yet unique to this place), we’ve only had humans on this planet for 0.0044% of the duration of its existence.[/quote]

This is exactly why I set my cruise control to 23 MPH, nothing more, ever.

Today I learned that theee most painful surgery a human can have is one to their heel.
And having just stepped my heel down on a tiny rock in my garage, I can confirm that it’s probably definitely true3 -

My brain feels all tangled and fried; now my feet hurt too. That's what I get for trying to keep up with everybody's posts.
All I've learned about space comes from UncleMac's Spaceman Spiff, from Calvin and Hobbes and EJ's Rocket Man.

I once got a shot in my heel to numb it so I could have a piece of glass removed...
The shot was by far the most painful thing I have ever experienced... Way more than my abdominal hernia1
