That doesn't mean a thing Vaskez. Science in itself and all knowledge of it is still restricted just to this planet, physically and geographically speaking. We may have knowledge of Venus, Pluto (if it is a planet), Mars and so forth but the fact remains we still don't know enough to say there is no life elsewhere, or the dependant variables that affect it. That's just my 2 cents on it anyway. [/QUOTE]What's your point? You haven't disagreed with anything I've said, my long post earlier demonstrated that we don't know enough about the variables and that's what you're saying too. However what we do know pretty sure is what elements make up different types of stars and planets and what percentage these elements are found in - that's all I'm saying. Sure, there could be sections of the universe that aren't made up of hydrogen, helium, iron etc. but by completely unknown elements in a completely different physical world but we were just talking about our physical universe - the part created from the big bang which consists of the visible matter which consists of the elements that we know.
Anyway, if we are talking about things outside this universe size - who knows? Since I can't comprehend any way for the universe to end (in space/size) I have to assume it's infinite - although I doubt the spread of physical matter is infinite - there is probably a boundary beyond which you won't find any hydrogen etc. atoms. I'm restricting my arguments to within the physical space that is governed by einstein's and newton's laws otherwise you can blow this game open any way you want and there's no point discussing it
