There are millions of galaxies Within one galaxy, there are millions of stars Surely, there must be billions of planets just like our earth ? And there must be millions of planets that have life on them ! That was science believed Recently, science discovered many factors that are necessary to make life possible Our earth and solar system is in fact, special !

Life need sun light (photosynthesis) Life cannot tolerate high energy radiation (X-rays, Gamma-radiation) Life cannot tolerate extreme heat (ever seen a fish swim in boiling water ?) Life cannot tolerate extreme cold (ever seen a fish survive in ice ?) And so on…
