              Ok, but following the previous exchange that would mean we aren’t alone in the universe… Home alone= you are the only one in the house, but there are other people outside the house. So alone in the universe= we’re the only ones except for outside the universe

                Great, now let’s extend this logic to a solar system and see how that works.

                … rather than:

                Great, now let’s extend this logic to the universe and see how that works.
