Ya, that’s one thing I didn’t understand growing up as a kid.
Why were people so conservative? Or why were people so arrogant?
It seems that given the billions and billions of stars, and billions and billions of planets (though to be fair, extrasolar planet was not found until recently), it seems unlikely that there were no life on this planet!
You can look at it through birthday paradox. The odds are very small indeed.. but there are enough chances.
Ah well. The problem is that intelligent life (and not just life) might yield even smaller odds. Intelligent life within reach (unless there is faster than light travel) might never happen.
Then again, the universe isn’t just stranger than we imagine, it’s stranger than we can possibly imagine..
supposedly, that’s why i love to travel … but ironically, i had been feeling that my world is getting smaller (in a good way tho’) !!!
ryc: price can’t be lowered, usually the price is set by the artist and not the gallery, if i don’t buy it for that price, someone else will. there was another piece that was really nice, it’s not shown on the website but it was done by a very popular up and coming artist. it was about the same size of the piece i posted but the price was $4500, and that is double that particular artist’s normal prices. the price i’m paying is actually very good compared to other artists out there. i already bought the piece last night.
