I hope the healing is progressing as anticipated.
But let me elaborate on the previous point.
So many times I see these astronomers and astrophysicists and cosmologists and the rest, have these really parochial ideas about existence, and life and the unknown.
They just don't seem to be capable of taking their minds outside of the box. And in this case, the box is that any and all life has to conform to what humans know about life. It has to fit human parameters with human environmental conditions. It has to develop the way humans developed. It can only exist within a set of variables which humans have deemed suitable for existence, etc etc.
Bullshit. That's why we call it the unknown. If we knew all that, we'd call it the known.
