Wow, I`m pretty nerdy, if the show has the word "star" in it I watch it. However, I always figured chances of alien life were slim, but look at how large the universe is! There has to be something out there!

I had no idea Uranus was that big!, maybe you should eat less sweets and pizzas.

There are 2 good videos that show this.

Between the two you can see how vast the universe really is and how small Earth really is.

the universe is still way bigger than what is shown here. this is only the observable universe which is comparable to the size of a quarter with the entire universe being the size of earth.
And according to the theory of "parallel universes" there are an infinite number of universes, each slightly different.

Whenever I look up at the sky and watch the stars, I could only imagine that if God does exist, (and I am not saying he does or he doesn`t) that he/she has something in mind far more brillant for us than anything found in organized religion.

I really hope mankind makes contact with an intelligent alien species before I die. If they are friendly all the better but if not then I can`t think of a cooler way to die.
