Sort of like the technology that makes up Megas, reality doesn't work that way. "Wow. Obscure reference much, Curtis?" ...Okay, that really hurts.
Reality is an illusion that exists only in the subconscious. Everything and everyone is but a figment of our imagination.
Well, that's just because of probability. We know that space is infinite. That means there are an infinite number of uninhabitable planets. We know there are planets we can't inhabit, so there is a finite number of inhabitable planets. Any number divided by infinity is as close to zero as you can get. (Population of the universe / infinity) So, the probability of running into another living thing are so ridiculously small, it means the most likely explanation is that they are just a figment of a deranged imagination.
Is it truly that black and white though? Science can only explain so much. And the limitations in the knowledge that humans possess, or think they possess, maybe more of an obstruction of the incomprehensible unknown in the human mind. Though, another factor maybe one's own perception of individual reality. Which, on its own, is subjective and not always going to be an objective fact. At least not collectively. Take for instance what we mark as fantasy. Who says those realms cannot exist? Who says Comic Horrors cannot exist? This is one of many reasons I became a spiritualist. For thought experiments like this. To test what I truly am willing to believe and what I will allow passing with ignorant bliss. Though maybe in our ignorance we can see existence with curious eyes, and never see everything. Though, one thing that tends to hold true, no matter the perspective, is that nothing is set in stone. There will be self-held ideals, but none are right or wrong nessissarly. Just small bits of a grander picture in our own preverbal worlds. Some things may be shared and weaved from other's prespectives, but never fully assimilated. So, just out of curiosity, when you say there is no likelihood of life elsewhere. Do you really believe that, or is that something you wish to take as fact because of the limitations of humanity's collective understanding?
I know I've sometimes wondered if everything I've experienced since 2005 is just one sixteen-year-long fever dream, or if I'll wake up back in Dearborn Heights in 1989 without any sort of autism the day I start kindergarten. Given everything I've had to put up with across my life, there aren't too many other things I'd want more. (And maybe then I would be able to keep better track of my music collection. Seriously, where in blazes did those tapes disappear to...?) Sadly, it looks like all these what-ifs are just that: what-ifs. As fun as it's been to imagine a world where my creations actually exist, no amount of wishing is going to change the fact that this earth and this universe are the only ones there are. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.
If I am nothing but a fig newton of your imagination. Then I shall be sent off to a place where people like me are made up. I'll discover secret doors, find out that it's hot in Topeka, and have to deal with a yellow dude screaming 'I like chocolate milk!'. I'll give you that one~ lol If you love cheese so much, then go to the moon. It's the cheesiest place in the universe~
