Oh Carl...your "billions and billions" was off by a wee bit.
Current estimated run in the several trillions of galaxies that exist. I find it hard to wrap my head around the number much less the the size of the universe to accommodate all of them. I wonder how many other places have someone staring up in the universe wondering who else is out there.

Math has estimated for a long time. That there is other life out there somewhere. Or has been or will be. Human existence on this planet will be little more than a blink in time compared to the age of the universe.

I am going to cut Carl a break on this one. I imagine if he had said “trillions and trillions” back when, people would have rolled their eyes. He was pretty sure there was a whole bunch of them.

Never intended as a slight against Mr Sagan......just an example of how science advances and expands our knowledge every day.

Yes, I get that. Just could't resist the comment on the phrase and the "mystery" surrounding it.
