We so stupidly make the assumption that life exists in places other than Earth because the universe is just SO BIG that there HAS to be life out there.

Well if there is life out there, and the universe is in fact infinite, that would mean that life out there is infinite?

I remember thinking if there is infinite amound of life out there then there has to be an alien that looks like a toaster. If life is infinite then there has to be at least one that looks like a toaster right?

Then that means that there is bound to be at least one other alien out of the infinite that's only plan is destroy humanity. There has to be at least one life form out the infinite that has the technology and wants to destroy Earth?

So then I thought about it more. There would then be an alien race who's purpose is to defend Earth. Then maybe we should be seeing an epic battle right now? Maybe there is an alien species that's only plan is to desguise this battle.

So if life out there is infinite, there would be a lot more going on basically. And what we see is close to nothing.

Uh...no.

For one, even if the universe were infinitely large (and as far as we know, it isn't), then that doesn't mean that there are infinite possibilities. Just because you can imagine that there's a toaster alien doesn't mean that it's true or even possible.

Secondly, why would there be aliens who want to destroy/defend Earth if they have no way of knowing that Earth even exists?

I really enjoy finding out things I never knew before... so here Ill start with two interesting/surprising facts:

Einstein never actually failed a math test.

Cyrus The Great (King of the Persian empire before the Greek wars) was the first human to write a human rights document. The document is called the Cyrus cylinder and it contained laws such as the equality of men and women while also forbidding slavery in the Persian Empire.
