Our national debt is now approximately 100 trillion nickels.
If one star in 100,000 in that galaxy has a planet with conditions suitable for life, there would be 1 billion planets with conditions suitable for life. And still none with chocolate.
Hey, for all we know, there’s a planet in there somewhere with some kind of Superchocolate. A billion habitable-by-life-as-we-know-it planets allows for a pretty large set of possible variations on life and development.
I really hate posts about other galaxies like the OP, because then I go looking for info on the subject, and inevitably end up looking at all the incredible deep-field and distant galactic cluster pics and wishing there was a way to go and explore them. Wife and I both agree that, if given the opportunity, we would (pretty much without hesitation) take any visiting extraterrestrial’s invitation to leave Earth forever, just for the adventure it represents.
