Many Earth-Like planets should not be a surprise

There was an article the other day in the LA TIMES indicating that new findings contradict the current theory of planetary formation.

In other words the science brains are surprised that there might be so many earth like planets within out galaxy.

Why on non-earth would that be a surprise?

There are approximately 200 billion stars within our Milky-Way galaxy. They estimate that there could be 46 billion Earth-Like planets orbiting those stars.

Why couldn't there be 200 billion Earth-Like planets?

Why would anybody be surprised?

OUR GALAXY IS MORE THAN A TRILLION MILES ACROSS, if indeed that's an across and not an up and down or an in and out.

What I find surprising is that we have pictures of other galaxies. How is that even remotely possible?

I think the Hubble and Spitzer telescope people just make up things because how on earth would anybody be able to question what they say?

My friend Tom pointed out that the same might apply to the inner universe that seems to be the main focus of CERN and the large colliders that are being constructed around the world.

Please note that we have yet to see atoms but we manipulate them like grains of sand.

There are 200 BILLION stars in our galaxy and the powers that be say there are 170 BILLION GALAXIES in our observable universe. Some of those galaxies have

a hundred Trillion stars. Yeah.....one hundred trillion!

WHO IS DOING THE COUNTING?

Seriously..........

THE MENTAL CATS AT MIT AND CAL TECH AND OTHER SUCH PLACES...CAN ACTUALLY MAKE UP ANYTHING THEY WANT.

Why not four hundred trillion?

If they throw numbers around like that, then why would anybody be surprised that there are billions of earth-like planets in our galaxy....and then billions and billions more in other galaxies.

Do EARTH-LIKE planets mean that life forms exist on those planets?

DUH?

AND KEEP IN MIND THAT OUR SUN IS YOUNG

which sounds like a new leader or ice skater from Korea

Sun Is Young

Just imagine for one moment how advanced our technology will be in 100,000 years.

Now simply realize that some galaxies have been around for a billion years longer than our Milky-Way.

It's a pretty good chance that our ancestors might actually be traveling around the Universe making babies that grow into Albert Einsteins......and because cross breeding is always unpredictable we sometimes end up with Adolph Hitlers and John Wayne Gacy's.

But we also get Jessica Alba's and Reese Witherspoon's and all those creatures that work for Victoria Secret and Sports Illustrated.
