It seems to me after growing up a trekkie, Star Wars sci fi deep eyed kid. I always knew there were star systems like ours scattered everywhere throughout the universe. Never did I even conceive of a universe that wasn't made up of an amalgam of solar systems filling it. Yet here, I find this was not the case in general science, and I find that disturbing. I think it's wiser to assume what you already know of any system, i.e., our solar system is how it is to assume other stars are similar to our system. This seems wiser than assuming nothing until it's discovered and assumed instead nothing at all. It seems an overly narrow, focused, and sort of absurd way to perceive in general. Arrogance, in a way, blind sided, like not knowing or to have to have any proof at all to even conceive of something that to me I took as just obvious all my life. 53 years and aerospace engineering degree, even though I didn't see such arrogance in my life experiences. This is unreal to me, but it does explain a lot of the human condition and why we seem so stuck as a species. Unwilling to open our eyes to a truth thats just begging to be known without even needing the proof. In fact, it seems this feeling of knowing this must be true, is  alluding to how to go about proving it is so. Maybe I am just weird, but yes, this is how I felt all my life, only today discovering how blind we are, thus sure why we should not still fear and war as we do. For how horrible it is to feel so alone in this experience, when in truth, nothing could be farther from that fact and still be true.
