Is there life elsewhere in the universe?

It defies logic to conclude there is not. There are approximately 100,000 million million stars in the Milky Way. Further, it is estimated there are 70,000 million million million stars in the universe, that is a 7 followed by 22 zeros. Although that is just an educated guess, suffice to say there are lots of stars in the universe. It seems almost impossible that life formed only on one planet of a single star and not anywhere else. If the universe is the evolution of intelligent design, even if it is just a happenstance, it seems highly unlikely that such an incomprehensibly large creation was set in place to be home to a single race on a single planet. Considering the distance between stars and planets it can also be surmised that extra terrestrial contact is not a simple task. What separates us is distance, and what makes the distance a difficult traverse is the limits of speed. We cannot reach other star systems unless we can travel considerably faster than the speed of light. However, our inability to travel faster is not a matter of propulsion so much the limits presented by the laws of physics. We cannot travel faster than the speed of light because density increases with speed. At light speed an object would become too dense to move. So until and unless we can deal with the laws of physics to overcome what has been called the theory of relativity, we will be unable to travel out of our own solar system, beyond the reaches of our own sun. This does not mean others have not successfully dealt with this, or that we will not eventually overcome the laws of physics that hold us bound to our solar system. Denying there is extraterrestrial life simply because we cannot see it is incredibly self centered and the poorest excuse for denying it exists. For those among us that rely on logic, it is illogical for us to assume life does not exist in many places in our ever expanding universe.
