The Universe
Most of us have asked themselves the question whether or not we are the only people in this universe. Despite having no solid evidence that we are not alone, I believe that being alone in this universe is weirder than having other living organisms in its vast realms. Leaving religion aside and looking at the issue from a purely scientific perspective, we see that it makes no sense for us to be alone. Knowing that there are more planets in the universe than there are grains of sand on earth, with all the deserts and beaches involved makes the earth nothing but a small grain of sand that has no value in the universe. It has been proven scientifically that our galaxy, the Milky Way, is only one of hundreds of billions of other galaxies and each galaxy contains hundreds of billions of planets. The earth is 25 thousand light years away from the center of the Milky Way and this shows us how vast the universe is. Even the sun, which is one million times bigger than the earth is nothing but a dwarf compared to other stars. One day, when man invents a machine that travels more than the speed of light, i.e. 300 thousand km per second, we will be able to find life on another planet. Life on another planet does not mean people like us or the way we see them in movies. They might be bacteria or any form of living organisms.
