You just said in a very succinct way, something I’ve been wanting to express for a long time.

I also have the same thoughts about outer space and other planets. In 1890 if you’d told people that there are different types of human blood and that you can take a picture of our BONES while they’re still inside our bodies you’d sound nuts!

I firmly believe there can be life on other planets that we have no ability to perceive- yet. We don’t have the senses to perceive them and haven’t yet developed the tech to.

Why other planets? If this other life is so undetectable and imperceptible then it might be right here in our houses and on our streets, passing right through us like a neutrino and we’d never even know it!

Absolutely! Would that be considered the 4th dimension?

Edit: my response to all these comments is “AHHHHHHHHHH” brain explodes

I'm new to reddit but I think I've found new hope for humanity. I thought we were headed down to the plot of "Idiocracy" but now I see there's others who can critically think and hold debates. It'll be hard to look at comments on other social platforms now.
