Reply to comment by Most-Hawk-4175 in imo the most terrifying part of space is rouge planets in deep space where there are no stars around. just pitch black. those planets are real. right now. freezing in the dark, thousands of light years away from any kind of light. imagine being on that planet, or even in its place. just terrifying. by Stufy_stuf

it’s crazy to think, those creatures, among literally trillions of other on billions of other planets, intelligent or not, are out there. living. existing. maybe thinking of us. thinking what carbon based life would be like, or what mammals would look like, or what oxygen tastes like. they’re just as interested and desperate to find alien life as we are, but the universe is just so, so, stupidly big that we may and probably will never find them, neither will they find us.

It's sad. There's got to be something out there. Some kind of life. But we may never know. Some scientists still seem optimistic about potentially finding life like SETI but others aren't so sure. It would be terrible if humanity destroys itself or gets wiped out somehow. It would be like we never existed and I wonder if this has happened to other countless civilizations.
