    It’s speculation, but there are only 100 billion stars in the galaxy. I’m willing to bet that we have a 1 in a 100 billion chance of our solar systems creation being different from the others.

      that’s pretty silly. you’re suggesting that in our galaxy we’re the only place this happens - what about our solar system is so exceptional, when we see similar planetary formation all over the galaxy?

      and also, there are between 200 billion (2×1011) to 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe - you gonna write them off too?

      you have a sample size of one - one solar system. that’s it.

      seems fucking moronic to be making billions or trillions of assumptions based on your experience.

        Now you’re just making shit up I never said. Have fun being ignorant.

        In fact, in my original comment, and another reply specifically said that I was only talking about our galaxy, and not even our local group.
