      I think it’s quite possible, yes. There are so many billions of stars in the universe that it seems quite possible that another planet somewhere out there could sustain life.

      It’s probably way too far away for us to find it though!

      Well I am in favor of big bang theory!!! Yep there might be any planet in universe or multiverse!! But untill and unless we find it we can’t say in concrete way. Some day when we will get strong evidence than definitely we will come to know that there exists a planet like ours!

      The search for Earth like planets is on going but its a really difficult task. So far none have been detected but it’s early days. Given the number of galaxies, stars and presumably planets in the universe its hard to believe that there is not another planet like earth out there. The question is, can we find it, could we ever reach it and, most important of all, has life developed there too!
