17:32 response E* "unascertainable" -> unascertainable until created; "Time" with very specific causality is the factor, not the numbers of stars or planets...Which are secondary. Our *binary planet* proto-Earth/Theia (theia isn't just molded into Earth, its "structures" have consequences in earth 2.0) + our huge moon Luna plays and played a grand important part for Life. (not just the Tilt or waves or maybe tectonic, but on our steady* rotation around our Star over the course of Earth history which got *progressively* habitable for Life.) How strange is our binary planet ? Is one of the big questions. Can complex Life or even DiOxygen can even surface/be created without a steady day (less then 10 hours) ? Maybe Life beyond isn't achaivable, because the factors are so enormous & tremendous until we try it ourselves and seed it. I'm not concerned about the question does Life exist elsewhere, but more about does it need a push from us to beginning with. (and it's not about anthropocentrism) But for me, It will* exist elsewhere, because someday Earth will no longer be habitable, and we'll need another home. (Mars and Venus won't do it, those are just basic surrogates)
