James Webb telescope on track for launch 18 Dec next month.

Webb will have significantly larger field of view than the NICMOS camera on Hubble and better spatial resolution than is available with the infrared Spitzer telescope.

Hubble's extreme deep field image below. Some of those faint patches of light in it are galaxies dating back more than 13.2 billion years, Webb is expected to look even further to observe pioneer galaxies and stars. Ore we discover the universe is even bigger than we know.

To look closer in our own galaxy, there could be 300 million potentially habitable planets to discover.

So much new space porn coming, can't wait for it.

I still think it's entirely possible that this is the only planet where there are such things as porn, blockchains and Proudhons. I think the Drake equation is far too lenient, even the worst case scenario numbers.

There will be plenty of life out there but consider it took for a random cataclysmic event to destroy the big dumb dinosaurs who ruled the planet for 100 million years, that led to big rat like creatures to survive who evolved into homo, hetero and bisexual sapiens.

Either planet Earth is the only life harboring planet in the universe or it is not.
We may never know. But regardless, either scenario is mind boggling.

I've read a few articles that basically say, we can't be the only planet in the whole universe with life ... there are billions of stars per galaxy, and billions of galaxies, and an exponential number of planets per star (well, some stars have no planets, but some stars have solar systems like ours.)

We just haven't seen them, or they haven't seen us, or somehow we are too far apart to see each other, or they may have lived long time ago.

Well lets hope some green lizard mofos didn't already find us and are ruling it all behind the scenes.

Yes, what a fascinating topic.
From our current knowledge, a Galactic 'Empire' might not be possible (the speed of light is a limiting factor)..watching, but not particularly liking the "Foundation".
That said, I am reasonably confident that life exists elsewhere as long as there are energy flows and relative climate stability.
In fact, I really favor the panspermia hypothesis (life spreads between planets of different stars).
There is a peculiar factoid of life starting on Earth a very short time (in geological terms) after the stable crust has formed, which is not explained very well so far.

jeesh i read the foundation back in the early 70s.

never thought they would try to make a show out of it.


As for real space travel 🧭 folding it could solve the distance issue.

think of a six foot folding ruler 1 inch and 72 inch mark get close of you fold the ruler yet the ruler is still a six foot ruler.

Never mind the observable universe is only ~13 Billion light years. Who knows what lays beyond...

Well, physicists tell us that the DIAMETER of the observable Universe is 90 bil light years. I am not sure how they derived this number considering that it is only 13.8 bil years old, as you probably meant. You are absolutely right that it is most likely MUCH bigger (beyond the observable part).

I leave you with this snippet:

It is plausible that the galaxies within our observable universe represent only a minuscule fraction of the galaxies in the universe. According to the theory of cosmic inflation initially introduced by its founders, Alan Guth and D. Kazanas,[25] if it is assumed that inflation began about 10^−37 seconds after the Big Bang, then with the plausible assumption that the size of the universe before the inflation occurred was approximately equal to the speed of light times its age, that would suggest that at present the entire universe's size is at least 3 × 10^23 (1.5 × 10^34 light-years) times the radius of the observable universe.[26]

that's a LARGE place.

That's where the fun begins: If the universe is truly infinite then there are an infinite number of "big bangs". And if you look long enough you will find a universe exactly like our own except that the Bitcoin Cash split never happened....

Such a wonderful place.

... it's a pretty good bet that the "speed of light" limitation on travel is an artificial limit entirely created within our own limited knowledge of the physical universe

.... quantum electrodynamics is incomplete, gravitational theory is incomplete and both will remain incomplete until a successful unification of the two, which is likely to lead to a revolutionary new paradigm in physics, given that the both of them are so far apart and have resisted unification for so long it's a good chance there is a massive hole in current understanding of the reality of the physical world (maybe the metaphysical also, many worlds, multiverse, etc)

... once you let go of this 'speed of light' limit notion then the galaxy is your oyster, so to speak

... and yes the Galactic Empire is probably a 'thing' and has likely been watching us for a very long time but they have a 'Star Trek' like code of ethics about interfering in a primitive civilisations development, without invitation from the developing civilisation itself ... it's likely we'll even be allowed to destroy ourselves with our own 'free will' without them intervening ... but there are always rogue rule-breakers and outlaw cowboys who come to yuck it up and who do flash themselves to the human natives from time to time for shits and giggles

... this telescope is especially interesting because it will be stationed at one of the Earth-Sun Lagrange points out beyond the moon, L2 Lagrange point to be precise, so essentially in a solar orbit like the Earth itself https://webb.nasa.gov/content/about/orbit.html

... several sci-fi themes are that the best place for an Galactic Empire type organisation to monitor Earth from would be on the moon or at one of these Lagrange points, since we have essentially inhabited earth orbits now with satellites and the space station ...
