and billions and billions of years ... life is possible.

Has happened many, many times ... but at different times, and too far apart both physically and temporally ... to ever communicate with one another. We're going to turn out to be a blip on the cosmic timescale, and probably every other civilization that's ever existed ... was similar. Same forces, same constants.

Still fun to think about but I don't see why multi-verses are necessary in the equation ... but then I'm not a physicist.
