Maybe somewhere, we will probably never know! There is a high chance that in another galaxy though that there is another inhabitable planet similar to earth with life living on it, i cant believe that it has only happened to one planet in one galaxy in all of space! That would just be madness!

We watched a movie in physics from PBS, and there was a scientist who had spent years and years making a formula to test if there are. He included lots of variables, and he got the numbers or approximations. The answer was the number of planets with what we think of as habitable surfaces-i.e. water, atmosphere, not too far from a sun-and the number was in the billions of billions. With that many possibilities for life, the odds are astronomically high that there is life outside our solar sysem, even sentient life. It's just gonna take a reeeeeaaaaalllly long time to check every planet!

Of course. Dispite the fact that outside our solar system are hot Jupiturs, or gas giants with 1300F temperatures on the upper cloud layer that are about 2-17x the size of jupitur, there could be life in one. Perhaps, bacteria-like. Or single celled. Also, there was an extrasolar planet 9000 light years away, google please, tht was 2x trhe size of earth, and icy all over. Perhapos life could exist on that planet...?

definately yes, if the same parameters fits for any other planet as between earth and sun, like distance, gravitational pull, temperatures, presence of water and oxygen, there should definately be life.And with thousands of stars (Suns) in universe with their solar system, there might be several earth like planets possible. Only its a matter of time we discover one. Also organism might be more simple or complex in other palces as compared to earth.

Yeah. The Universe is too big to not hold other living things.
