"Consider the vastness of space."
In relation to are we alone question.
Apparently the rough estimates are here -
40 BILLION Habitable (goldilocks) planets in the Milky Way alone. 29 Billion of these orbiting red dwarves and black holes.
Remaining -
11 BILLION habitable planets orbiting comfy Suns like our own.
Galaxies just in the 'observable' Universe - probably a lot more -
200 Billion to 2 TRILLION Galaxies.
Lets average that to around 1 TRILLION Galaxies each containing 10 BILLION Habitable planets.
Not sure the exact number, but thats a helluva lot of Habitable planets in the Universe.
