Being pedantic because I actually agree with you, but being correct is important. We have a sample size of 1 for locations where life exists in the universe.

The statics are mind blowing on this though, the sheer size and diversity guarantee's that "Earth Event" has happened or will happen a few million times. And that's just restricting it to just "Earth" conditions, the moment you open up the possibility for exotic chemistry, tidal fricting heating and other non-Earth-normal situations then it becomes impossible for life not to be everywhere. It's virtually guaranteed that microbiological life has existed on Mars at some point in time, likely around the same time it started on earth 3+ billion years ago. Mar's just had it's atmosphere zapped away and surface bombarded with high energy solar radiation which ended any evolution that would of taken place.

It just won't be life we recognize.

Brings up a point I like to make with people about cosmic events. The concept of time is radically different then what us humans are used to. Our entire "civilization" has been around what, maybe 10,000 years if we stretch it? We as a species have been around maybe 60,000 years, protohumans since 100,000 years. To us that seems like such a huge amount of time but in a cosmic sense that's merely a rounding error. Cosmic events take place in millions if not billions of solar years time scales. Universe is nearly 14 billion solar years old at best estimate with there being 100 billion galaxies in the visible universe alone (meaning 5~10x more actually exist). Each of those galaxies has tens of billions of star systems. The sheer number of stars in the universe is a number so massive that it's beyond human comprehension.

Makes a human feel very small and insignificant in the grand ordering of things.

Like I said, I don't disagree with you. Just stating, concretely, that there is other life in the universe is misleading and wrong, as of right now.

It is important to separate what we know to be true from what we can rigorously prove.

First synthetic embryo created from stem cells

At Cambridge they achieved this extraordinary feat! Mind you it will not develop into a foetus because it's missing some parts, but their aim is to study embryo development to better understand the pathologies associated with it.

As for artificial humans, we're still far away from it!

Could marijuana hold a key to keeping our brains forever young? Science is starting to find out.

Nuclear Scientist Crowned Miss USA
'I love science,' says Miss DC Kara McCullough




Quote:
(Newser) – Kara McCullough, a scientist working for the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission, has been crowned Miss USA. McCullough, who represented the District of Columbia in the decades-old pageant, was born in Naples, Italy, and raised in Virginia Beach, Va. She says she wants to inspire children to pursue careers in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, the AP reports. "I love science," McCullough said after the Sunday event. "I look at this as a great opportunity to ... get to experience worldwide culture, as well as just having the opportunity to be impacted by so many children, hopefully in the math and sciences." ...

This article has several big holy freaking **** moments in it.
LIGO’s 3rd gravitational wave detection
I have only one question they didn't cover in the article. How do they measure distance? Do gravity waves redshift?

Most medical advances start as military/rich only for the purpose of having an abundance of test subjects. It's been this way for quite a while actually. Concept test it in the field then release it to the public. This was with Cellular Phones, Microwave Ovens, Solar Panels, etc. You can pretty much name it and odds are the military played with it first (unless you're rich)

Bruno Mars is gay is the most discussed in the media in the few years ago. Even it has happened in 2018, but some of the public still curious about what is exactly happening and to be the reason there is a rumor comes out about his gay. At that time he became the massive social networking rumor. The public, especially his fans are shocked. He just came out with his bad rumor which is spread massively. This time is not about his music career, but his bad rumor. The rumor is out of standardize of hoax, according the last reported this singer revealed himself as homosexual. Do you still believe or not, this rumor is really much talked by people even in a person of his fans.
