Not true. And it doesn't become more true just because you and other minions keep repeating it. Housing standard was much lower during the 80s than today. Purchasing power was much lower. You ate much cheaper food/less meat. Etc. Etc.
Not too big!?!? Or what do you mean?
There are "infinitely" more possible chess games than atoms in the Universe so if life requires just a couple of dozens of atoms and molecules at just the right time and position it is EXTREMELY unlikely that that combination has happened more than once.
A simple explanation of Fermi's paradox is that the first step in the process that lead to life is extremely rare, so rare it only happened once. Imagine that it requires hundreds of specific molecules as exactly the right position and distance from each other when a lightning strikes, that must be of the exact right power. It isn't hard to require circumstances that are so rare they will only happens once during the whole lifespan of the current universe. And then Fermi is no longer a paradox.
The intelligence community had previously warned that a US-funded bio lab in Ukraine likely housed dangerous pathogens and remained vulnerable.
Yet another conspiracy theory that turned out to be true.
No it's not. Your material standard is several times higher than your parents. Your car is better, your phone is MUCH better, your food is cheaper etc etc.
A provocative new study is reigniting debate over one of the biggest demographic shifts of the modern era: why are fewer people having children?
Researchers from the United States have examined whether the rise of smartphones, beginning with the launch of Apple's first iPhone in 2007, may have played a role in the country's steadily falling birth rates. Their findings suggest the technology could be one factor behind a decline that has puzzled economists and policymakers for years.
All constants are variables.
