      I don’t think anyone has a concrete answer to this question but I do believe that we’re not alone.
      I think it’s hard to believe that in something the size of the universe that there wouldn’t be any other life out there. Whether they are like humans or more like tiny bacteria is another question. But I’m confident that there is likely to be other life forms outside of the Earth, somewhere in the Universe

      I hope not! As Jonny said, so many planets and galaxies… and our planet would be the only one with life on it? That would seem unlikely and a bit sad to me. Another question is whether we can ever find a way to communicate with such life forms. They are most likely seriously far away, and I bet they don’t speak english…

      I don’t think we’re alone either. But I also think that if an intelligent form exists elsewhere, it isn’t going to be as we might imagine. We are a planet with life created with DNA, another life form may be very different.
