Yes, we are insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

Enjoyed the video!

Thank you David. Not many of us visit the Science Forums. I hope the Mods let it stay here.

Excellent. Raises an interesting question though.....

...Out of all those galaxies, we are the only intelligent life out there?

I don't think so.

Thank you, David.

This just points out why I believe so much in what this project is doing.
Although the distances and time involved in deep space are immense, this just strengthens my belief that the odds of us being the only intelligent lifeform in the universe are inverse to those statistics, and we are most certainly 'not alone'.

With the staggering distances and time involved, it makes our search so very difficult, but all the more important.

just around the corner!
