Most of these planets have orbits less than 10 days long... instead of 365 days like ours. Can you imagine if they rotate and are tilted on their axis like earth so that they have "seasons" like winter spring summer and fall, all in one week. In fact, the rotation period (the length of a day, 24 hours here) could be anything. Mercury rotates only once every 59 day. We could end up looking at a planet who's days are longer than their years and have a full set of seasons within a single dawn to sundown period. How weird would it be living on something like that? You planet could have 4 seasons before it even went from daylight to night and back... and from dawn to sundown could take a week or two of our time. When you left home for work you would need to bring both shorts and a winter coat. And if you wanted to "enjoy your spring weather" you could do so every morning from 10 am to noon. The concept of 24 hours or the concept of an entire year would be absolutely meaningless there.... but still I really do believe that we are and never have been alone. Life is everywhere. The universe is teeming with life that we can only imagine. As above so below. Some scientists are actually talking about our existence being a computer generated one as which would be inevitable to civilisations which are millions of years ahead of us. Who knows. It's easy for us to reject the thousands of anecdotal stories by people from every walk of life about their sometimes life changing experiences. It may just be so incomprehensible to us what it really is that we may just be better not knowing. Folk like Brian Cox and the likes are great but really know no more than anyone.
Total mindf**k that.
