I find this very interesting. Of course, the planet Osiris is a gas giant. And its about 900,000,000,000,000 miles away or 150 light years. What's after trillions? Anyway, discuss.

A very interesting story, this could mean that we'll find life on some distant planet outside our solar system. NASA technology has advanced emmensly...

In the UK, I'd think that was 900 billion miles. Better start walking, then.

Unfortunately, the planet is far too close to it's sun to support human life.

Um, it's also a gas giant, which kinda precludes life as well (unless it's that weird cloud-life stuff that Arthur C. Clarke made up in the 2001 books, but that's just crazy talk).

You realise a planet wouldn't have to be exactly like Earth to support life, right? If there was life on other planets, they would be suited to live on said planet, not on Earth. So, just because it's a gas giant, or close to it's sun, don't rule out the possibility of life.

True, but we haven't found any examples of that kind of phenomenon so far. Although, I wouldn't mind being proven wrong. As long as the aliens don't implant embryos in my chest.

We also havent found an example of life on a planet with oxegyn, so basically, we may be the phenomana

hahahahahahahahahah sorry brad

A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

That's all I can say for now. There will be a public news conference shortly. Also, Sine will be utterly destroyed and/or incinerated, so stay for the fun after the conference.

I wonder if there is a vigintillion (10^20)
or an undecillion (10^11) or a trigintillion (10^30)? Anyone have a way to look it up?
