  1. All of that is total BS. We've been traveling through space for 70 years now. You can "terraform" planets if you want to or make them smaller or larger or anything. Space isn't magic. It's the same matter and physics as here.

  2. ​ @JohnDoe-dn2ol Even just considering the observable universe there's almost certainly planets nearly identical to earth in composition. If the universe is infinite, then you'd have to believe that we live in a unique patch within it that's different from the rest of the infinite universe.

  3. If you can travel between stars, that's not an issue.

  4. ​ @Novastar.SaberCombat Firstly, there's nothing standing in the way of getting there. Secondly, you don't need to get there for it to matter. When I'm in Korea and I hear about a massive earthquake in Japan, I don't need to get to Japan for that to matter to me.

  5. There's no such realization. "Replicating" a biosphere would be a vanity project of an advanced and ethically underdeveloped civilization. It's not desirable or necessary for anything. Space habitats and habitats on other planets would be superior to natural "biospheres" in every way.

  6. ​ @Kyplanet893 "Habitability" or rather, whether a planet could spawn life, is directly relevant to our decision making. It's relevant to how much we should worry about existential risk. That's why all stuff connected with aliens is more important than other space stuff.

  7. ​ @calvinmasters6159 Lol, why not say that it needs a Spa and Cocktail bar to be "habitable"? We should focus on stuff like an earthlike atmosphere, liquid water.

  8. An advanced civilization would be infinitely more visible than the planet and wouldn't rely on it at all.

  9. ​ @kintustis No futurustic technology is required at all. It's just a matter of how much time and effort you're willing to put into something.

  10. ​ @kintustis We can do terraforming right now, that's strictly easier than reaching other stars technology wise. Just bcs something is great in scale doesn't mean it requires advanced technology. We could mark every tree in the Amazon rainforest. We could already do that hundreds of years ago. It would be a massive and pointless task, but it doesn't require technology we don't have. We could start terraforming Mars tomorrow in the same way.

  11. 40 light years is extremely close and "complex" life developed rapidly once we got multicellular life at all.

  12. ​ @Isthisjoebiden Earth may be protected as cultural heritage or sth. So you'd have to do more ambitious projects somewhere else.

  13. ​ @stupidmangoz I don't know what you're babbling about, but it's absurd to claim that there's no earth like planets even if you make "earth like" extremely specific.

  14. ​ @toranp.8942 If we were the only ones, there'd have to be a multiverse of finitely large universes. Most having 0 civilizations, second most 1,third 2 and so on.

  15. That would immediately mean that there has to be a multiverse.
