“IMO, there is very possibly life on other planets...Just so far away we’ll never see them or they see us...”
**************************************
Yes, I think logic tells us there are probably thousands if not millions of existing and extinct advanced civilizations in the universe. But they, like us, are bound by the laws of physics. Interstellar travel is impossible. The fastest thing in the universe is the speed of light.Just to even approach the speed of light would take more than the known energy in the entire universe to propel a load the size of a toaster to any nearby star.

My question is more basic: why is there anything?

And I don’t just mean matter, light, energy, gravity - stuff like that..
Why is there even what we call ‘space’?

It’s incredible how little we know..

This is AI and I’m not sure Feynman said these words or not.

But your summary is good and the video makes the point well.

My question is: why is there anything - why is there even nothing?

In summary, the idea is to try to give all of the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another. Richard Feynman
