I can tell you that stepping on an upturned plug with only socks on, is not insignificant. It's possible that remote alien life detected my agonised scream.

This one still think maths are a proof of the ball... math is a language to explain something. Even the most insane theory can be mathematicaly possible but never be proved or proved wrong... so maths as the proof of the ball is just dumb. Water mechanics destroys your fantasy.

Surely the gradual transition from light to shadow suggests a sphere?

The clue is the gradual transition and not a sudden one.

Well, has anyone been to the edge of the world?

1500's type question...so basic,we dont even answer. And you, been in space lately? Stick with facts,not strawmans. Water mechanics and the space medium are debunked... no presure system next to a vacum without a physical barrier. Do the tests and you will see,just fantasy.

To be fair, it's not been proven that any of the other planets or stars have intelligent life on/orbitting them. So sort of depends how you're looking at it.

Another way to look at it is: given the size of the universe, it’s entirely possible and likely that there is another star orbited by planets that had the right set of conditions for life, in whatever form, to have evolved. There was a good series on C4 years ago - Are we Alone?

The universe is infinite (as far as we can tell; the mathematics fits), so everything that can happen should be happening somewhere in it. In fact, everything that can happen should be happening an infinite number of times. A scary thought.

Precludes the possibility of anomalous events. Until we find evidence of life on other worlds it’s impossible to know for sure whether life is an anomaly. Hence they put so much effort in to searching for it. So, it’s still belief either way. But, I like sci-fi so I’ll say

In an infinite universe, there will be an infinite number of everything, including yous and mes. An infinite number of yous and mes will exchange tweets; an infinite number of those tweets will be identical to this one. See
#TheHilbertHotel to really understand infinity. -
Of course you’ll never really truly understand infinity. How could you understand the whole of something which will by definition never be whole? That thought experiment is most interesting because it demonstrates the limits of human cognition. It demonstrates the ability to...

... recognise something that’s real but still somewhat outside of our ability to fully grasp (like time). It’s basically a means of contextualising an undefinable concept within logical terms. Apparently human nature.

And as an aside - what’s left after logic runs out but how you feel about it?
