Science Fiction is not just about the future of space ships travelling to other planets, it is fiction based on science and I am using science as my basis for my fiction, but it's the science of prehistory - palaeontology and archaeology - rather than astronomy or physics. Jean M. Auel

We are the laws of chemistry and physics as they have played out here on Earth, and we are now learning that planets are as common as stars. Most stars, as it turns out now, will have planets. Jill Tarter

Learning Physics Will Chemistry Stars Earth Out Out Here Laws Most Common Planets Turns Now Played Here

The universe is very big - there's about 100,000 million galaxies in the universe, so that means an awful lot of stars. And some of them, I'm pretty certain, will have planets where there was life, is life, or maybe will be life. I don't believe we're alone. Jocelyn Bell Burnell

We don't know why we are here and the context of our role in the universe, and the thought of an infinite universe. It's something the human mind can't really grasp. It's statistically impossible that there's not life on other planets. Joel Kinnaman

Life Impossible Mind Thought Universe Other Our Something Know Context Role Infinite Human Really Planets Human Mind Grasp Why Here

As the scene of life would be more the cold emptiness of space than the warm, dense atmosphere of planets, the advantage of containing no organic material at all, so as to be independent of both these conditions, would be increasingly felt. John Desmond Bernal

When I grew up as a kid, we didn't know there were any other planets outside of our own solar system. It was widely speculated that planet formation was an incredibly rare event and that it's possible that other planets just don't exist in our galaxy, and it's just this special situation where we happen to have planets around our sun. John M. Grunsfeld

Solar Rare Own Situation Other Incredibly Our Solar System Kid Sun System Possible Outside Know Around Were Exist Up Any Just Where Grew Happen Formation Galaxy Planet Planets Special Event Widely

Because of Hubble and other telescopes, we've now discovered that there are probably planets around every star, or virtually every star. There are solar systems around most stars. And the fact that we're here on a planet, Earth, means that it's likely there's lots of other Earths out there. John M. Grunsfeld

Solar Stars Every Other Virtually Earth Out Systems Fact Most Likely Because Around Discovered Hubble Lots Planet Planet Earth Planets Means Star Now Here

I want to be in 'The Hobbit.' I love fantasy and mythical adventure films. I believe in fairies and angels. I believe in nature's spirit, that there are other realms, other planets, life forms. Julia Sawalha

It's in every person's life, around 27 to 29 years old, the stars and the planets align themselves to exactly the way they were when you were born. You're faced with yourself. There's no running away. Lykke Li

The reality is that we know that this universe, that our galaxy, has billions of stars. We know that stars have planets. So the likelihood that there is life somewhere else to me is just absolutely there. Mae Jemison

Life Me Reality Somewhere Stars Universe Else Our Somewhere Else Absolutely Know Likelihood Just Galaxy Planets Billions

At a earlier age, I was kind of into a pretty large scope or range of music from Hieroglyphics and the Hobo Junction guys and all that to like a lot of stuff that was in New York like Diamond D, Nas, Brand Nubian, of course Biggie, OC, Organized Confusion, Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Digable Planets, who I just saw recently, and they killed it. Mahershala Ali

Science fiction, to me, has not only things that wouldn't happen, but other planets. Margaret Atwood

In future, children won't perceive the stars as mere twinkling points of light: they'll learn that each is a 'Sun', orbited by planets fully as interesting as those in our Solar system. Martin Rees

Future Light Solar Stars Our Solar System Sun Those System Perceive Points Mere Learn Children Interesting Planets Fully Each Twinkling

Maybe the search for life shouldn't restrict attention to planets like Earth. Science fiction writers have other ideas: balloon-like creatures floating in the dense atmospheres of planets such as Jupiter, swarms of intelligent insects, nano-scale robots and more. Martin Rees

Life Science Space Insects Other Earth Restrict More Writers Attention Like Ideas Science Fiction Science Fiction Writers Robots Dense Intelligent Jupiter Maybe Fiction Fiction Writers Planets Search Floating Creatures

Ironically, it is only when disaster strikes that the shuttle makes the headlines. Its routine flights attracted less media interest than unmanned probes to the planets or the images from the Hubble Telescope. The fate of Columbia (like that of Challenger in 1986) reminded us that space is still a hazardous environment. Martin Rees

Time travel and teleportation will have to wait. It may take centuries to master these technology. But within the coming decades, we will understand dark matter, perhaps test string theory, find planets which can harbor life, and maybe have Brain 2.0, i.e. our consciousness on a disk which will survive even after we die. Michio Kaku
