do anyone believe that infinite earth like planets are present in our universe?

Answer 1

Nobody knows. However, the best estimate can be determined using the Drake Equation. Plug in your own "guestimates" and see what you get. It's actually fun. Here's the website for the equation.

Answer 2

There might be a positive probability for the existence of life. This is not clear, but we know that life exists, and it seems life should appear in any planet like Earth. Thus, if the universe is infinite, there are infinitely many planets which are earth-like and with life.
in the context of infinity, no difference exists between distances throughout space. For, throughout infinity, no reference points exist to measure differences among time or distances. ...Infinity is the only concept in existence without identity or boundaries. Infinity is radically unique from all other concepts.

To grasp the meaning of infinite existence, one cannot view existence from the perspective of a finite planet or a finite universe. Instead, one must view existence from the perspective of eternal endlessness. From that perspective, no difference exists between a mile and a trillion miles, or a year and a trillion years, or a forest fire and a star fire, or a lightning bolt and a big-bang birth of a universe. For, no reference points exist to compare distance, time, knowledge, or events of any magnitude when forever really means forever. Some theories say that time is infinite, that the universe has been contracting and expanding for ever.

Answer 3

I would say that there are definately many more planets/planetoids/satelites that would vaguely resemble the conditions found on earth and can therefore sustain life, but they are in no means infinite.

Its like the concept of having an infite number of numbers after zero and an infite number of numbers before it (negative numbers) this means there are twice infinity number of numbers, which is impossible. In this situation there cannot be twice infinite hospitable planets and inhospitable planets, so infinite is incorrect.

There are many other theories that could also be called into play here. For example a recent study found a link between black holes and universes, suggesting that within every black hole is another universe, and every universe is enclosed within a black hole. If you imagine that our universe contains millions of black holes each containing another universe, each with its own millions of black holes then the number of universes that potentially exist becomes massive, and therefore so do the number of stars and planets that could exist. It stands to reason that there has to be somewhere along the line somewhere there will be another planet, or planets, that can sustain life, simply as a result of the sheer scale on which the whole idea exists.

Answer 4

well, as many scientists do believe that life came from outerspace, and was brought here on a comet or asteroid or some such, there is a very high chance that there is a earth like planet with life on it. Wether it will be develped life, or just bugs and bacteria, who can say, but given the size of the universe, i doubt we'll be finding any such planets any time soon. And it's unlikely there is an infinite number of them, with 100% so far without life (save earth), i think the majority out there aren't anything like earth.

Answer 5

It cannot be infinite, as the universe is of finite size. But the number of earth-like planets could be large. I have a notion (with utterly no evidence to back it up, nor any possibility of ever getting any) that the moon was important to the creation of early life due to the intense tidal stirring of the ocean that took place in the early days when the moon was much closer to the earth than it is now. If that notion is true, and it is also true that the moon was blasted out of the earth by an asteroid collision, it could be that earth-like life is exceedingly rare as that appears to be an unlikely occurrence.

Answer 6

I do believe there is a vast number of Earth like planets but "infinite" no as there must be a finite number of stars in the Universe

Answer 7

If you believe that the Universe is infinite, as I do, then it stands to reason that there will also be an infinite number of earth-like planets that can sustain life as we know it.

Answer 8

I think most answers are given in an optimistic mood. Earth orbits around the sun at the perfect distance & it has been found that there is a thin strip around any star called the habitable zone (depending on the star depends on how far its out) BUT the zone will always be a small set distance. The diameter of 2 earths is all the zone is so to expect a world like ours to be elsewhere is very unlikely. If the sun suddenly expanded by a few 1000km, we would roast, thats how fickle the zone is. I hate to burst the bubble but Earth will prove to be unique.

Answer 9

There may be other earth like planets in the universe but when you look at how the earth has evolved and in particular our distance from the sun and our magnetic 'shield' against its radiation that is not even present on Mars and its particular life forms makes it seems more than highly unlikely that there will be a 'duplicate' anywhere else.

Answer 10

Cosidering the size of the universe there must be many, many such planets in it but it is not an infinite numbers as all thgings physical must at some point be finite.

Answer 11

yes, in a galaxy of over 100 billion stars, ours is the only one that managed to create an earth type planet!

I doubt there are that many planet types out there for there not to be tens of thousands of earth type planets.
