minus-squarephotonic_sorcerer@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·5 months agoThat’s the thing - we don’t know.
minus-squareEABOD25@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 months agoIt’s highly probable that we aren’t the only life in the universe. The only thing that makes it impossible is we aren’t smart enough to know yet, but most signs point to that we can’t be the only life in the universe

Why?
