If I am right, there are about as many living planets in the
universe as there are planets capable of generating and sustaining
life. . . . Even a conservative estimate puts this number in the
trillions. Unless this estimate is totally off the mark, we may
take it that trillions of foci of past, present, or future life
exist. Trillions of biospheres coast through space on trillions of
planets, channeling matter and energy into
the creative fluxes of evolution.
In whatever direction we turn our eyes when we look
into the sky, there is life out there, somewhere.
