Right, yeah. We don't even have to go to something as crazy as extra dimensions and brain worlds and all of that. What's happening right now in the past 30 years in astronomy, looking at real objects, is that the number of planets, exoplanets, outside our solar system has absolutely proliferated. There are probably more planets in the Milky Way galaxy than there are stars.

And now we have a real quandary. I don't think it's a quandary. I think it's really exciting. It becomes impossible. What you just said, I totally agree with. It becomes impossible to imagine that life was not sparked somewhere else in our Milky Way galaxy and maybe even in our local neighborhood of the Milky Way galaxy, maybe within a few hundred light years of our solar system.

Well, isn't that kind of appalling? I mean, just take that statement. We've only been around for like, I mean, a couple hundred thousand years tops, you know, that is not very long. And we're at a 50-50. I mean, that's unbelievable. I mean, it's indisputable that we have created the means, at least potentially, for our own destruction. Will we learn from our mistakes?
