The only reason I would want immortality is to see the vastness of the universe. It excites me so much to think how much more there is for us to see.

I can understand that, let me put it in another way what I maintain about infinite vs. finite: Time is the unifing field (IIRC is the correct term.) that we as finite humans pursue, time is the glue that holds the phsyical universe together, without time there is no velocity, velocity is distance over a certain time. Without velocity we have no orbits of particles around the nucleus of an atom, no atoms no matter, no matter No effects of matter ie:gravity/magnetism/ the other forces. Infinite: without time/beyond time. If time doesn't effect you, distance become null and void because you can be two places at once (from the time controled point of view), or multibles of you be at the same place at the same time. You can violate all laws of phsysics at will. Times is the 1st diamention (sp?) that alows the other 3 to exsist.
Now does that support or refute life on other planets? NO! Life on other planets has no effect on the "why" of the Phsysical universe, Life is a by product of the phsysical universe.
