Scientists have discovered a new planet which is not unlike our own planet Earth. So how far away is it?
Extract:
According to the latest scientific data, this new planet is approximately 14.7 million billion trillion bazillion light years away from our solar system. To put this vast distance into layman's terms that everybody can understand, if you were able to ride on a wave of light, the time it would take you to reach this planet would be slightly less than the time it takes to get a straight answer from a bank.
I don't know about you, but that's pretty far away. The Age's article talks pretty much about how other aliens might just be too scary for us. Do we really want to meet them? They could be the end of us. And the most interesting part of it all, is that they probably think the same about us, which is probably why we might not have seen any Alien life come visit us as of yet.
People have issues with accepting other races/cultures, let alone other 'intelligent' life forms. We still have a LOOOONNNNG way to go. And frankly, mankind will be the end of us. =)
