Let us not forget....

Science is a process of verification and disproof, not one of proof.

Quite right, good of you to point that out. You're a physicist, aren't you Rocky? I take it you believe there is other life "out there", and I believe that there certainly must be as well, but don't know enough to back it up with numerical probabilities or whatnot. Do you think Carbon-based life is the only viable form out there, or could other elements which can form a great variety of bonds be the basis of vastly-different forms of life? Think I've heard that Silicon is a possibility. Any thoughts on this?

The universe is made up of only three building blocks, subatomic particles we call electrons, neutrons and protons and combine to form atoms. Combinations of subatomic particles form ninety two naturally occurring elements. Elements in turn combine to form compounds providing an infinite variety of substances.

So to answer your question Plumb, with over fifteen hundred galaxies in the size of a grain of sand at arms length, Yes, Iʻam sure the possibilities are endless![;)]
