If modern theories aboi;t the format!on of star::; are correct, probably the great
majority of stars have planets around them. On at least some of these, life may
have evolved in a beneficent realm of light and liquid water and in an atmosphere
of oxygen and nitrogen to a level as high and perhaps much higher, than the
highest life known on earth. Communication with intelligent beings in planets of
other stars would be alma;t impossible because cf the distance involved.
