The galaxy is not unending, it in fact has a very definite ending which is why we came up with the label galaxy.

There is no such thing as the number 2, but there is such a thing as the number 1. Do you believe there must exist an infinite number of universes due to the infinite number of dimensions? We have the proof of the existence of one here, so there must be more yes?

You may want there to be more life out there, but that doesn't make it so. We currently have no evidence (unless all the alien government conspiracy stuff is true) so to say there *must be* is the silly part.

The thing I like about Zeno's paradox is that it conjectures that Earth is not unique, and as such there must be a bunch of planets like earth that therefore must have given birth to life just like us. And since we don't yet have space travel and we're nearly about to wipe ourselves out of existence entirely, I'd say Zeno's paradox isn't much of a paradox at all.

i voted no, just as i remembered... Zenrax is an alien O_o

How can Earth be unique? The universe if FAAAAR too big for it to be unique.

Unique as in, there is nothing that is exactly like ours.

Uniqueness is any difference, however minor.

Remember, you're unique; Just like everyone else.

....the problem is people are always looking for an exact replica of earth...whose to say that's what aliens look like or need (like what if they breath nitrogen?)?

.... You didn't read my first post did you? I said something almost exactly like that, just more eloquently worded.

Mine's so much prettier...and no i didn't read it

I voted yes and agree with ss

of course...as previous posters have said....there is the potential for other planets to have life, as we know i believe that most people dont think that their are aliens out there because they are looking for a species that lives like humans, when infact, they could be similar to plants in the fact that they need not have oxygen in order to live
i say yes
thy exist

Im watching nat geo and a idea poped into my head.
If the universe was compacted in to one place before the Big Bang.
1)what was there before that?
2) how did it get there in a compact place?
