#468 – Janna Levin: Black Holes, Wormholes, Aliens, Paradoxes & Extra Dimensions

It is possible that there's other things that live in the bulk. I mean, last night I was calculating away, looking at something that lives in the bulk.

#468 – Janna Levin: Black Holes, Wormholes, Aliens, Paradoxes & Extra Dimensions

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?

Will we avert course and save ourselves? One hopes so, right? But even the concept that it's conceivable, whales have not invented a way to kill themselves, to wipe out all whales and Earth and life on Earth.
