Not knowing if there is other intelligent life, or even non-intelligent life, is killing me. I mean we can assume that somewhere out there in space there is another living organism thing, but I really want to know for sure and what it looks like.

Thinking about the size of space make my hurt, for real as humans we mentally cant understand how vast space is and how many stars and galaxies there are out there. As for life there is no way with the number of stars in space add 5 planets for each star there has to be life on at least one of the centillions planets.

There was a Numberphile video that explained how if we were to somehow comprehend how big the universe is, our brain would collapse into a black hole.

i definitely think there's intelligent life out there in the universe, but i wonder if there's any in the area of that photo even considering the size of space
